"Fools rush in where angels fear to tread," says Alexander Pope. "Look before you leap," they say. But these maxims mean nothing when adrenaline takes over-the thrill of exploring the unknown and the enticing chase of uncertainty.
One calm afternoon in the small state of Clarkson, six friends from Clarkson High-Klein, Marcus, Achilles, Hans, Claire, and Shiloh-known for their insane livestreams of discovering and exploring abandoned places, decided to go hiking in search of a mysterious spot deep within the forest. Local whispers promised an unsettling atmosphere, perfect for their next livestream. Though their instincts warned against it, armed with nothing but themselves, their phones, and a camera, they pressed on, unaware of what awaited them.
Adrenaline is what pushes you. But regret will be what welcomes you.
As the saying goes, "nasa huli ang pagsisisi."

TRAPPED IN HIS EYES
Nobody ever thinks their life will shatter in an instant-until it does. Not at first. You wake up, you go through the motions, and you trust the people around you. You laugh, you cry, you love. You never stop to wonder if the hands you hold today will be the same ones that destroy you tomorrow. I never did. I never questioned the warmth in his smile, the strength in his presence, the way he stood by my side like a shadow I could always rely on. I thought I had finally found someone who understood me, someone who didn't see me as an outsider. Someone I called a brother. But trust is a dangerous thing. It blinds you. It makes you miss the signs staring right at you. Because the moment I saw the truth- I realized I had been holding the devil's hand all along. #5 Survivor #36 ObsessionComplete![𝐀 𝐇𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐎𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 | [𝟏𝟖+]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/369746393-256-k37459.jpg)

𝐀 𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐓 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐈𝐑𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐃'𝐒 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑. Book 1 in "Dark Fate" series. "They say you can't choose who you fall in love with, and he couldn't agree more. His sister's best friend had captured his heart, and he was consumed by his obsession for her and now, he knows he would never be able to let her go because she belongs with him." • ✧ • There's a kind of love that feels like sunlight - warm, gentle, safe. And then... there's his. It's not cruel. It's not loud. It's something far more dangerous - quiet, calculated, all-consuming. He was my best friend's brother. The man I was never supposed to notice. He watched from the shadows, memorizing me without ever needing a single word. I never really knew his name... but he knew everything about me. My fears. My patterns. My dreams. Even the parts I hadn't yet discovered myself. He's always been there, just a step behind-waiting, watching, wanting. And now, he's no longer waiting. He calls it love. I don't know what to call it, only that it pulls me in like gravity - unavoidable, inescapable. There's safety in his arms, yet danger in his silence. Gentleness in his touch, yet fire in his gaze. And somewhere in the tension between fear and longing, I find myself unraveling. Because the scariest part of being wanted like this... Is realizing you might want them back.Complete
The Pale March
They don't chase. They wait. And they already know your truth. After the world fell silent, after machines turned against the minds that made them, a new terror emerged: the Pale Ones. Human-shaped and ghost-quiet, they come not for the body-but for the secrets no one dares to speak. You don't see them at first. But you feel them. Like gravity. Like guilt. Ty Mercer has walked a long way from Fort McCoy, farther than most, and seen what happens when people stop. He's learned to keep moving, even when he can't make the full thirty miles. He's learned the rules-but not the reasons. When he crosses paths with a ragged group of survivors in the shell of an abandoned megachurch, he gives them a choice: walk south or wait to be unmade. Among them: a boy with a gift for sensing the wrongness others ignore, an artist who draws what shouldn't exist, a preacher clinging to fire and judgment, and a woman who's lost more than she'll ever admit. Together, they march-not just to escape the Pale Ones, but to outrun the truths that might doom them first. Because in this world, the ones who fall behind don't scream. They Whisper.Complete
Almighty Beings: Beings Of Love
"Life had been a series of moves with my mom, but then we decided to settle down so she could follow her dream of opening a bakery with her best friend. We even made a deal: I'd brave the halls of public school again, a place I hadn't seen since I was little, and in return, I'd help out at the bakery. It felt like a real turning point, a chance for some stability. But then... things took a bizarre turn. A horrifying encounter, a rush of unsettling sensations, and suddenly my world is tilted on its axis. I can't tell reality from fantasy. I can't tell if I'm a murderer, worse, or if I have simply gone insane. I'm praying it's the latter."Complete
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐑𝐢𝐝𝐞
Life is like a rollercoaster. It has its ups and downs, but it's your choice whether to scream or enjoy the ride. What happens when life throws you off track completely? Do you scream... or do you hold on tighter? For Ira and Rudraksh, the journey is far from smooth. One is suffocating under the weight of failure, the other carrying the fragments of a shattered heart. Two strangers, caught in life's ugliest turns, where every step forward is a fight against invisible battles. This is not a story of being saved by each other, but of learning to live despite the wreckage, of finding the courage to stand when the ground never stops shaking. However, if their paths ever converge, will they find solace in each other... or will their differences pull them apart? ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ This is a character-driven literary fiction set in a contemporary world, where every character breathes fully and every emotion unfolds in its own time. It is the kind of story that feels less like something you read and more like something you live beside, watching the characters grow, falter, heal, and discover themselves at their own pace. If you have a moment, and a heart willing to feel deeply and quietly, I invite you into this universe of mine. And if you wish to know more, simply explore the tags. They hold the essence of what awaits you here... with a little something extra, like a cherry on top. Copyright © 2026 Jambudweep.

The House That Whispers
It wasn't supposed to be a rescue. It wasn't even supposed to be real. A drunken dare. A reckless chase. A twisted game. Harry and his friends entered the house with one thought-to take what wasn't theirs. But the moment they crossed the threshold, the game turned against them. The doors locked. The walls shifted. Their desires became chains, their laughter swallowed by silence. At first, they thought it was a man-a monster lurking in the dark, toying with them. But the deeper they went, the more the truth clawed at their sanity. The house was alive. And it wanted them to suffer. Time unraveled. Lust turned to regret. Hunger turned to madness. Their mistakes tightened like a noose, and soon, Harry found himself losing more than just his way. He was losing them. And the house was still watching. Because no one leaves until it is done with them. The House That WhispersComplete
His Sinful Infatuation

For the first time, he felt his heartbeat drumming violently against his ribcage, a reaction to her call. He heard her song, and he was coming.
