In a hospital room dimly lit by flickering lights, Alex grapples with the reality of his terminal illness after receiving devastating news from a doctor: he has only hours left to live. Surrounded by family members expressing their grief in different ways, he feels the weight of despair. His younger sister, Lily, clings to hope, contrasting with the resignation of their parents. As the pressure mounts, Alex considers giving up and seeks an escape from his suffering.
In a moment of desperation, he leaves the hospital and finds himself on a bridge, contemplating a final act of release. Just as he prepares to jump, a strange notification interrupts his thoughts, and he plunges into darkness. Instead of death, Alex awakens in a mystical realm where he is welcomed by Seraphina, a guardian who informs him that he has been chosen to wield the power of Gluttony-a force representing insatiable hunger for life and experiences.
In this new reality, Alex discovers he has a limited time to navigate his existence, represented by a glowing band on his wrist. He learns that he can extend his time by completing tasks and that his unique ability allows him to absorb the skills and memories of enemies he defeats. As he prepares to explore this enchanting yet perilous world, he feels a flicker of hope and the urge to reclaim his life, while also confronting the challenges that lie ahead. The journey of self-discovery and adventure begins, with the ticking clock reminding him of the urgency to embrace his newfound destiny.

The Troubles of Angy
Alex held fast, his eyes never leaving hers, his grip gentle yet unyielding. "Tell me, Angy," he whispered again, his voice low and persuasive. "What has you so tense that you're so bent on getting away from me?" Angy's heart raced, her mind racing with excuses and evasions. But Alex's eyes seemed to see right through her, to the secrets she kept hidden deep within. She felt like a bird caught in a snare, unable to escape the gentle yet unyielding pressure of his gaze. As the music swirled around them, Angy knew she was at a crossroads. She could continue to evade and hide, or she could take a chance and reveal the truth. "Hey..." He urged in a trail. "I don't belong here." She finally said, swallowing a lump in her throat. "What?" "I don't belong here, Alex." She repeated, more firmly this time. "This... being here with you, I don't belong here." "What's going on? What nonsense are you saying?" He paused. "Did you hear Charlotte?" He gauged her acutely, trying to work out the truth as he felt his heart standing on the steep precipice of fear of her answer. Angy resisted the urge to recoil. Charlotte had said something to Alex. How much did he know? **** What secrets lie beneath his carefully constructed facade? And what mysteries shroud Angy, veiling her true identity from even herself? Could it be that the veins of their past ran deeper than they had envisaged? Delve into the enigma of their intertwined destinies, where every twist and turn reveals deeper layers of intrigue. Don't hesitate. Embark on this journey of discovery, where the shadows of the past converge with the uncertainty of the future. Unravel the tangled threads of their lives, for in their collision lies the key to unlocking the secrets that bind them together.
Ancalagon's Gold

The Colour Of My Fate (Completed)
Five men from different parts of the world tried committing suicide at the exact same time after going through certain hardships and ugly circumstances in their various lives. They were fed up with life and felt that there was no point to continue living. So, suicide was their only option to escape reality. As each of them was about to commit their own form of suicide, a mystical being suddenly appeared individually to them. These beings or entities were also five in number, just like the men. The mystical beings, all wearing long hoodie-type cloths that slightly covered their feet and of many different colors matching their skin tones, proposed a solution to each of the men, telling them that there is a way to change their fate for the better. Each of those men was very much terrified when they encountered these mystical beings, which looked like elves in appearance, but they accepted their offer, which they saw as a chance of changing their fate. The mystical beings did not actually tell them the way to change their fate but opened a rainbow multidimensional portal and all said the same thing, which is "FOLLOW ME IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE YOUR FATE," with a hand gesture signaling "follow me" towards the man they are individually with. These men did not hesitate but followed them through the portal with the mindset that they didn't have anything to lose by doing so, and they saw it as a chance of gaining salvation. In other words, a chance to be saved from their present predicament or situation and being improved or made new circumstantially. They don't know what awaits them on the other side they are entering, but as the story unfolds, it will all be revealed. _________________________________ INCLUDES: *Mystical elves *A mystical god *Romance *Multi-protagonist Start Date: 12/27/2023 End Date: 02/17/2024 Word Count: 62K Genres: Fantasy, Drama and Psychological © 2023 [First Edition]Zakończone

Grief wraps around him like a straitjacket. Sleepless nights give way to anxiety attacks, and self-harm becomes the only outlet he can control. In a twisted answer to his pain, a tiny demon named Lux appears-sent as a guardian, but functioning more like a curse. Instead of offering comfort, Lux needles at Jake's every weakness, stoking his fear, guilt, and spiraling thoughts. When his ex-boyfriend, Felix, ends up in the hospital after a car crash, Jake goes to see him. But even in that fragile reunion, something is broken. Jake flinches at Felix's touch. He pulls away, unable to explain why the person he once loved now feels like someone he can't reach-like trying to hold onto a dream fading at dawn. As the distance between them grows, and Lux's influence deepens, Jake is left at a crossroads: keep falling into the darkness, or find a way to silence the demons-both real and imagined-and maybe, finally, breathe again.Zakończone
