Dreamgates is a project that I have been working on for years now.
An idea that has exploded into many branching concepts that I don't think I've seen anyone put together in a story before.
It has its ties to the internet based urban legend known as the Backrooms, but takes a mighty big twist on the concept. Simply because 1). I of course want to write an original story, and 2). It has grown beyond simply existing in a world of liminal spaces and has grown as I have grown.
I have always seen people argue whether or not the Backrooms should have monsters in it.
Keep the liminality! The psychological horror is where it stands the strongest!
And I agree to an extent.
Dreamgates will have both, in balance, but aside from being a horror story- it will be heavily character driven. A sci fi fantasy mystery. A deep look into philosophy and culture and the fate of the universe.
It will be mind bending. A survival game. A battle royale.
A hunt. And a show.
A world full of dark horrors both man and monster.
A world full of light and hope, seeking a new purpose in life.
This is Dreamgates in every way and more.
I welcome you to enjoy the read~

The 10th Circle - Abyss [Complete]
Every prototype technology has its risks. After an accident involving a novel robotic suit, Keres cadet Sky begins to have recurring lucid nightmares where she finds herself in a prison called Tartaros. Soon, one thing becomes clear: Tartaros is more than just a dream, and as the lines between reality and her subconscious begin to blur, Sky is forced to question her own perception of the world. Meanwhile, more and more mysterious accidents shake the city of Pharos to the core, threatening the safety and security of the last surviving humans on earth. Through her own accident, Sky finds herself drawn into the investigation of an enigmatic task force. The prototype technology, her dreams, a dubious doctor, a missing part of her medical files and a dark secret from her past all seem to be connected, but how?

THE MIND VOID
"This place feels like a horrible survival game. One that's unfair on an unreasonable level. I know life's not fair, but this doesn't feel like life anymore." Issac Mccauglin is your average nerdy, awkward teen when one day, the unthinkable happens. He is...trapped. Trapped in an alternate world with strange things, confusing logic, nightmare fuel monsters, and no clear way out. When he meets the adventurous and spirited Valerie Crew, he might have a better chance of escape. Or just a friend to bug him and keep him company. Something bigger might be behind this strange place, and the answer might be their only way out. (Rated T for Violence, Spooky/Scary Themes, and Horror Related Subjects/Ideas)Complete

The Backrooms: Echoes of the Abyss
In The Backrooms: Echoes of the Abyss, John, a curious soul with a penchant for exploring abandoned places, stumbles upon a door that leads to a nightmarish labyrinth known as the Backrooms. Endless, monotonous corridors lined with yellowing walls and flickering lights stretch out before him, trapping him in a surreal reality where time and space are distorted. As John navigates the eerie, ever-changing environment, he is plagued by the silence and occasional ominous sounds that hint at something lurking just out of sight. Determined to find an escape, John encounters cryptic signs, shifting rooms, and strange phenomena that seem to defy the laws of physics. Along his journey, he crosses paths with shadowy figures and encounters a mysterious guide who warns him of the trials that lie ahead. John must confront not only the Backrooms' physical challenges but also the emotional and psychological fears they stir within him. The deeper he goes, the more he realizes that the Backrooms are more than a maze-they are a reflection of his innermost struggles and fears. Armed with only his wits and a cryptic key, John is forced to confront a final trial, one that will test his understanding, courage, and resolve. The key to his freedom lies not just in navigating the endless corridors, but in unraveling the truth about himself and the mysterious nature of the Backrooms. The Backrooms: Echoes of the Abyss is a tale of survival, self-discovery, and the psychological toll of isolation in a nightmarish world where reality bends and terror awaits around every corner. As John faces the unknown, he must question what is real and what is illusion-and whether the Backrooms are a prison, a test, or something far more sinister.Complete

When I wake and hear someone speaking - that I can't see, but can feel...who tells me that I am not who I think I am....I have nowhere to run... Should I listen? Wait?
