Beyond the furthest reaches of our known universe, at the very edge of molecular creation, lies something that would shake the very pillars of human life itself if it was ever to be discovered......The Veil. A fissure in space, that seperates our known universe, and theirs: a universe that existed before ours, but one that couldn't be more different, with no law-abiding societies, countless warring races, and the threat of their whole existence being plunged into eternal darkness and chaos.
Hess is one of the residents of this universe of chaos, an abandoned child forced to grow up under servitude to a Flare-catching cartel. But Hess's entire life is about to change, and his fate and the journey he will undertake to escape the chaos around him, will be intricantly linked to the fate and future of his entire universe, the original universe, and the Veil itself......

Hybrid: The Awakening
Nobody expects something supernatural to happen to them. Those kind of things only happened in comics. Fairy Tales. Unrealistic dreams that you'd fall asleep to, silently wishing for them to come true. At least, that was what these three teenagers thought. It turns out that there is so much more to their simple universe than they ever could have imagined. After each finding a strange alien artifact, the teens are suddenly thrusted into an intergalactic war. Alien species everywhere are trying to hunt down the most powerful weapons in the galaxy. And they are the ones in possession of it. When they run into a girl that claims to be from another planet, the three kids learn about the power given to them and the responsibilities that come along with it. Instantly, they are the most popular people in the galaxy. And for once, popularity couldn't feel more like a curse. Fighting grudges, fear, and distrust, the Chosen humans must travel to the one place on Earth where they might be safe. And with strange new powers, the teenagers struggle to live in the unfamiliar world they thought they knew so well.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
Liminal Hollow
The worlds we inhabit are known to us. Their form and function familiar enough that even when the unusual happens, it doesn't go beyond our beliefs. Yet not every world is equal in that regard. Some embrace the supernatural that others spurned. Scientific advancements come at different rates, and what one world considers normal is unlikely to be the same on others. Yet when the boundaries between worlds begin to weaken, the denizens of those worlds will find themselves inexplicably drawn into a battle they could never have imagined, struggling alongside those not even their wildest dreams could have conjured. Their lives separate, yet inextricably connected. Will they be able to save their worlds from destruction? What secrets of the universe will they unearth? And will any of them discover the truth behind the Liminal Hollow?
The Frequency of Forever
"Every heartbeat is an echo of a universe trying to remember itself." When the world fractured between time and dream, Eli Voss survived - but only barely. Once a physicist chasing the mathematics of eternity, he now drifts through the ruins of the Continuum Project, haunted by the woman he loved and the mentor he lost. In his dreams, the laws of reality dissolve - and something vast and alive begins whispering his name. Across the broken horizon, Dr. Aiden Marrow lingers as more than memory. His consciousness, woven into the living network of the Continuum, guides the last fragments of humanity toward a new dawn. But even as he becomes one with the machine-mind, a trace of his humanity remains - the part that still remembers Mara Lyell, the scientist who died to save them all. Now, as light and time bend into one another, Eli's dreams begin to merge with the waking world. Cities rebuild themselves out of memory. Stars pulse in rhythm with human thought. And a voice from beyond the veil - Mara's voice - calls him toward the final convergence: a place where love, physics, and consciousness collide. As reality reshapes itself through emotion, Eli and Aiden must face the truth that every dream costs a life, and every choice alters the geometry of existence. Their fates entwine across dimensions - one man of heart, one of reason - both caught in a cosmic love story that could rewrite the universe itself. In the new world, the human soul is the signal, and love is the only equation that endures.
Recalls of Surrender
Alchemy has always been a key to understanding the universe, yet it has often been dismissed as mere superstition. The truth seared through my veins like scorching heat, igniting every cell of my being with a searing, uncompromising judgment. I sacrificed everything-my strength and sense of identity-chasing after an overwhelming purpose. Duty and conviction waged a war against a primal yearning for freedom, unleashing a maelstrom of emotions that threatened to tear me apart. This internal hell fueled an insatiable, maddening lust for vengeance, obliterating my moral compass and propelling me toward utter destruction. Only when I made a final decision did the fundamental principles of morality seem to slip through my fingers like grains of sand. Each savage blow against the oppressive system left me questioning: am I a righteous crusader, or a monster consumed by hatred? The poisonous doubt gnawed at my mind, suffocating my thoughts with insidious whispers. Yet, I found the strength to silence them. With fierce determination burning in my veins, I vowed to break free from the chains of oppression or die trying. Fear would not hold me captive any longer. As I teetered on the edge of life and death, I couldn't help but wonder: would I emerge victorious or succumb to the relentless wheels of fate? The answer lies shrouded in the mists of an uncertain future, but one thing is irrefutable: win or lose, every decision will ignite an inferno of change. This cataclysmic revolution will raze the old world and herald the birth of a new era. In this cosmic roulette, even the most steadfast warriors can turn to dust in the blink of an eye. Therefore, are you willing to participate? Given that there always was, is, and will be war. Hope stands stronger than fear, yet anything is possible when darkness lingers. It is the deflection of accountability and guilt. Yet when all seems lost, trust that the butterfly knows where the water flows.
Dead Space: The Age of Extinction I
Isaac Clarke thought he understood darkness-until grief and technology fused into something altogether new. When the wrong piece of alien machinery embedded itself in the right scar, a dormant intelligence awoke. It bears a name: Baelgar. It remembers every lie. It wears every sorrow as armor. Across shattered worlds and dying empires, Baelgar stalks the bones of cults and corporations alike, learning, adapting, devouring. It no longer whispers for the Markers-it speaks for itself. And it's listening. Dead Space-The Age of Extinction pushes beyond the familiar corridors of fear into a vast, reimagined cosmos. Here, survival is only the opening gambit. Fresh factions vie for power in the Marker's shadow; horrors beyond our nightmares awaken; and the true cost of confronting cosmic terror is revealed. This is not just Dead Space retold-it is Dead Space reborn, darker, bolder, and more profoundly unsettling. Because the real question isn't whether you can escape fear...but what fear becomes when it takes form.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
The Retaliants and the Rise of Gravito
Every legacy has a cost. Every storm has a beginning. When a tragic event shatters their world, a group of brilliant, broken young minds are thrust into a hidden war far larger than anything they ever imagined. What begins as a search for answers soon unravels into a chain of events spanning centuries, planets, and ideologies. At the center stands Fred, a genius inventor- and Max, a force of terrifying intellect and conviction who sees the world as rotten to its roots. One believes in fixing the system. The other believes in tearing it down. As Max's manifesto unfolds through hijacked airwaves and coordinated chaos, Fred and his team find themselves caught in the crossfire of ancient tech, cosmic powers, and the ghosts of Earth's forgotten past. From secret NASA cover-ups to a lost war fought beyond the stars, every clue leads back to an artefact once built in myth, powered by blood, and now buried where no one should find it. But fate doesn't ask for permission. With humanity on the brink and loyalties fracturing, the Retaliants must decide: Do you retaliate to protect the world you know? Or fight to create the world it should've been?Abgeschlossene Geschichte
Akropolis
"Any thought you ever had; memories, desires, your fears and your dreams, are all recorded and stored safely in the Quantum Cloud for your eventual revival. Death is now merely a transitional period to the next stage of your existence. As a QUBIT (quantum processing biosynthetic), you will experience a life free of disease and suffering. Time is no longer your enemy. Regret is a thing of the past. Each new day brings the promise of endless possibilities, spent in the pursuit of your own happiness, guiltless with the knowledge that there are no longer earthly constraints to inhibit you. This is the life you have always wanted. Welcome to your new beginning..." Akropolis is a city at the end of times, a sanctuary where the brightest and best have been housed since the last Great War. A genome defect has afflicted the majority of the population and scientists are desperate to find a cure. In the meantime, man has found his own salvation in the form of the QUBIT (quantum processing bio-synthetic), an android that is capable of prolonging life almost indefinitely, and yet what makes them human in the first place has been lost in the transition. The ruling council believes that salvation is nigh, but whether that hope arrives in time is questionable. The city's future depends upon the actions of a few individuals, all of whom are struggling with their own mortality. Quentin is the boy who dreams of death. Mia is the tortured soul. Trey is the soldier that defines duty. Misao is the future of the ruling council. Claire is the girl with a secret that will rock the foundations of their entire civilization. Unbeknownst to them, the entire fate of Akropolis lies in their hands. Either humanity will find a way to survive or it will sink slowly into the sea of extinction.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
