There's a reason they call Qardis the City of Whispering Walls.
Dreams are a myth...
An impossibility...
A disease detested across the lands of Thelessia...
But when the claims of dreams surge across Qardis, defying popular beliefs, silent unrest has terrorized over Qardis. Dreamers are arrested, torn apart from families, wrested away from their homes to an unknown fate, never to return again, spreading fear across the populace over a phenomenon that is not even in their control. How long until the Monocle can answer the people, and how long until the plague of dreams takes over the entire land and the Monocle is left with no one to rule?
No one knows why.
No one knows how.
No one wants to know.
But beneath the shadows and marble-floored austerity, conspiracies brew, plots are written, resistance is growing, questions are burning, and the safest and most protected empire of Thelessia is once again on the verge of its own collapse, and this time, the whole world outside its walls is watching.

As June searches for him, a creature calling itself The Eclipsed One emerges from the dream's shadows, wreaking havoc and instilling fear among people. Now she must break one conspiracy after another, with the help of her closest friend, Giovani. Yet no one can attest that he's truly the unsuspecting man he claims to be. June must save her brother and expose the hidden secrets of Miraglia. But when truth and deception blur, can she trust anyone at all?

When Stories Wake Up
Are you a writer? Have you ever watched your own characters suffer...and told yourself, "It's just fiction." After all, they aren't real. They don't breathe, they don't bleed, they don't remember....Right? But what if they did? What if every character you abandoned remembered every wound you gave them...Every heartbreak, every betrayal, every death. And what if they remembered who wrote it? So tell me... If one day your characters took the pen from your hands. If your story began rewriting you. If you were forced to live every tragedy you once wrote for them... Would you survive your own ending?
The Keepers: Song of Sorrow
In the darkest depths of the Void lies a dream. It's been there of thousands of years undisturbed and thriving. Well maybe not the people in the dream, but the monsters that were conjured into being the moment the dream started seem to do well for themselves. Beasts made out of mangled body parts And congealed flesh, some with dozens of eyes, others with dozens of mouths. All seeming impossible to the eyes of any who aren't one of them and maddening to look at. They rule the dream with tooth and claw, terror and torment. And they relish it. The worst of there are Pathos and Addac, two such creatures of speed and strength who banded together to rule over the rest. They are brothers in bloodshed and destroyers of whole kingdoms. However, the dream isn't permanent. Like most dreams once the dreamer awakens the dream will end along with everything inside or tied to it. Then a new terror will arrive to take its place; the Sleeping God who was sealed away years ago by the All Fathers themselves.Complete

The Dreamscape Chronicles
Welcome to my dream journal-a collection of vivid, standalone stories. Each chapter is a new dream, a new story, unique and unconnected from the rest-crafted to let you see, feel, and experience them as I did. They say that when we dream, we connect with ourselves from other dimensions, access memories of our past lives, and even glimpse visions of our future-both in this life and in others. With that in mind, these stories may hold echoes of something far beyond the surface, offering glimpses into the extraordinary and the unknown. I'd love to hear your interpretations of my dreams-feel free to share them in the comments, but please wait until the end of each story to preserve the immersive experience.
The Backrooms: Essence of Desolation
Once, the world still meant something. People weren't hollow strangers, trust wasn't a cruel illusion, and freedom flowed as freely as water. Now drinkable water is scarce-and freedom even scarcer. Every step forward costs more than I can give, yet I keep moving, even when surrendering to the endless night would be easier. Why do I keep pressing on through these familiar alleys and shadowed corridors, where only death or desolation waits? Why am I carving these words into the crumbling face of an old concrete wall? When did my hand turn black? And how long ago did it become too late to turn back? ---------------------------- Yoooooo! What's up liminal lovers and clinical schizos! This is a rewrite of a story I made in the past that will likely have a different plot and generally be a thousand times better! Thanks to @_pepperleaf for being my amazing editor! Anyway enjoy the story, Love you guys! -LiminalOne
