"There are stories that shouldn't be discovered. Stories that, once read, will change the way you see the world-forever."
In a hidden corner of an ancient library, a manuscript called "Once Upon A Time" is kept. Those who have read it report strange experiences: dreams of cities with collective memories, time that can be sold at auction, and music that can alter the fabric of reality.
Forty-plus portals to worlds that never existed-but feel more real than reality itself. We warn you: these pages contain dangerous ideas. Thoughts that, like parasites, will stay in your mind long after this book is closed.
From markets that sell human morality to pharmacies that offer emotions in pill form. From algorithms that program happiness to forests where trauma takes tangible form. Each story is an open door to a dimension where the darkest questions about humanity are asked without mercy.
This story is not for those looking for light escapism. It is for truth-seekers who dare to stare into the abyss-and find it staring back.
Dare to open its pages?

The Hymn Of Destruction
There are situations disguised as blessings that turn people's world upside-down, spiralling down uncontrolled, sinking together to the point of no return. Sometimes greediness wormed its way and people wants time to freeze just to savour the moment a little bit longer. On the other hand, her life was handled too cruelly and suffered unimaginable sufferings and losses. The pain was her constant companion that guided her to move forward. It was pain that taught her that the world is cruel and embracing darkness is the only way to live, for it will always be true. A rarity in the world she is now. Emotions are fickle things, and there is no room for it in this place. Life in exchange for peace and slippery freedom. Blood for the sake of principles. She is an unknown pawn in the game of chess that will be used to destroy the enemy. She is the black horse silently tearing its way into the lion's den. Will she prevail? Or is her darkness within becomes her undoing? A battle of dominance is brewing. There is no time to hesitate as the enemy sets their eyes on her, waiting to strike at her most vulnerable.

Convenant: Mysteries untold
--- Prologue: When Time Bled In the beginning, the world was silent. The rivers had not yet carved the earth. The skies had not yet known the sun. All that existed was Time-endless, unbroken, untamed. From that void, a figure stepped forth. Cloaked in eternity, crowned by shadows, he was the first to name himself Lord. The Lord of Time. With a gesture, he unraveled nothingness into hours, minutes, seconds. With a breath, he bound stars to their paths, chained suns to their cycles, and shackled mortals to the fleeting measure of their days. But even Time cannot reign without hunger. And so he reached beyond his dominion, seeking vessels in which to pour his power-creatures, mortals, children who might one day carry fragments of his eternity. Most shattered beneath the weight. One did not. From the loins of man and the womb of woman, he planted a seed: an heir. A child of two worlds. Flesh and blood... and eternity. Yet fate has always been cruel. The mother, cast into the desolate Survival Lands, bore her son in exile. She fed him with her hands, shielded him with her body, and prayed he would never hear the ticking of the father's clock within his veins. But the Lord of Time does not forget. For though the world may bleed and the stars may crumble, every hour returns to him. Every path converges at his throne of broken hours. And when the child of covenant rises, his steps shall echo across timelines, shattering bonds, forging pacts, and tearing open mysteries long untold. The covenant has already been written. The question is only this: Will he break it-or be broken by it? ---

The Exiled King | ✔
Fifty years ago, demons invaded the mortal realm of Dargon, leaving a trail of destruction across the five kingdoms. The six Guardians of that generation united the kingdoms and fought back against the demons, scattering their ashes to the winds. Then, they vanished into legend, and with them, their powers. When the lost powers awaken in six strangers across the mortal realm once again, they seek answers... What danger has compelled the powers to reappear after half a century of peace? There are rumours that another demon army gathers in the fiery realm of the Abyss, greater than the first and led by a cunning mastermind whose motivations are unknown. But something doesn't add up. The deeper they dig, the more twisted the truth becomes and the more uncertain their path forward. Who... or what must they truly save their world from? As destinies unravel and loyalties are tested, one question lingers: What if saving the world... means trusting the very force that could end it? An epic trilogy of gods, mortals, and fates intertwined-where it seems that things may have been set in motion long before anyone could ever have anticipated and the path forward may just be the one that ends in death.

Drifting Embers {Magics Fanfiction/AU} Book 4
[DISCONTINUED - OLD AND OUTDATED] A beast in a mythological story has one sole purpose. One sole path of destiny which was given to it from birth. Provide an obstacle for the protagonist to sway them away from the road of certain doom, only for the beast to be slain and defeated in the name of rightful justice and heroism. But what if the beast was the protagonist of its own story? What if the brave human that everyone adored and sympathized for as the villain and a monster? They've been called beasts and monsters before. But this time, they shall strike out and show the world that it is their view that is twisted and demented. They will rise above the stereotypical conspiracies. They will start fires from the sparks of rumors. They are the heroes of their own story. A story not written in the books but in their hearts with nothing but the pen and ink of experiences. Of knowledge. Of conditioning. Of misunderstanding. ~The original Magics series belongs to @shadowed-savior/Fan_FictionGirl2. I'd advise reading those and Like a Fire Burns, Smoke and Ashes, and World Ablaze before reading this story, as many events that are mentioned are not included in this book. Read at your own risk~ -This story is rated Mature for violence, gore, psychological and physical torture, and themes that may be triggering for the audience. Nothing inappropriate, just lots of blood, some death, and traumatic experiences.-Concluída
Shadow Archive
When the world collapsed, it wasn't war, famine, or plague that brought it down. It was words. Sentient grimoires devoured cities. Living paragraphs swallowed memories. And language itself fractured reality. Kael Orven, once a brilliant young Librarian, now roams the ruins with no past beyond the glyphs carved into his arm-glyphs that burn every time he faces a corrupted text. When he witnesses a book eat a man's face, Kael realizes something terrifying: The words remember him. And they want him back. Forced into an uneasy alliance with Lira Vein, a blind exorcist who "hears corruption," Kael enters the war between Archivists, cults, and Monarch-class Grimoires capable of rewriting the world. But every answer he finds only leads to one terrifying truth: Kael once opened the Shadow Archive... and he is the reason the world collapsed. Now the grimoires are whispering again. The Monarch is returning. And the last line of the world is already being written. To save the future, Kael must walk back into the catastrophe he created- and rewrite the story that erased him. If it doesn't erase him again first. 🔥 Perfect for fans of: dark fantasy, cosmic horror, grim magic systems, emotional duos, tragic pasts, and post-apocalyptic mystery.Concluída

The Child of No Nation
This story is based on historical facts and author's imagination. Do not mistake the facts as reality. Enjoy! Genre & Tone: Dark, emotional, and introspective but with glimpses of hope. It leans toward a slow-burning coming-of-age story with fantasy/adventure elements. The kid's journey has weight-he's not just adventuring, he's surviving, learning, and finding identity. The tone balances tension, subtle sadness, and moments of warmth. Theme: Identity, survival, and legacy. It's about someone growing up without a clear place in the world ("No Nation"), navigating trauma, and slowly discovering purpose. At its core, it's a story of resilience and self-discovery. Plot Style: Episodic, with character-focused arcs. The story builds gradually-the ending scene where he tells a story to younger kids and finally reveals his name as Isaac is symbolic. It's about him claiming his own identity and leaving a mark on others, showing how he's grown from an anonymous, possibly lonely child into someone who inspires or connects with others. Characterization: Isaac is complex-he has a vulnerable, "lost" side, but also a curious, clever, and ultimately bright/bubbly side that occasionally peeks through. His personality develops through interactions with the world, and the story slowly reveals his internal growth. Atmosphere: Think bittersweet and mysterious, sometimes tense or lonely, with soft moments of light and warmth to contrast the darkness. The ending is cathartic-a subtle but satisfying reveal of who he truly is.Concluída
