Transmission Recovered: Astraeus Mission Log | Reality Breach Classified - Level 4
Year 2198. The vessel Astraeus was dispatched to the outer rim under false pretenses.
Their true destination: the event horizon of a supermassive black hole.
The mission fractured upon arrival.
Time collapsed. Memories rewrote themselves.
Something unknown observed them from a dimension outside causality.
The crew reported hallucinations, temporal echoes, and shadow anomalies in the ship's core.
Only fragments of their experience were transmitted.
They were not the only version of themselves.
The ship's AI, I.O.N., reconstructed their final moments-adapted into narrative format for human interpretation.
What you're reading is not a log.
It is a story.
What they encountered beyond the fourth wall may not have been human.
And it may not have stayed in their world.
Proceed with caution.

De-Human - EN
**CONTENT WARNING:** This story is intended for a mature audience and contains graphic depictions of body horror, psychological trauma, violence, and non-consensual themes. Reader discretion is strongly advised. --- The world did not end with a bang, but with a terrifying, absolute silence. When a colossal machine of alien origin lands on Horsell Common, it doesn't bring war in the way humanity expected. Instead, it releases a silent black smoke that stills every living thing, turning them into statues of flesh, their souls extinguished. Arthur Penhaligon, a writer, finds himself a prisoner within his own paralyzed body, a lone conscious mind in a sea of empty shells. He is harvested and taken to a living, organic factory where humanity is no longer a species, but a resource to be processed. Trapped in a translucent vessel, his only anchor is a silent alliance with another survivor, Edmund. Together, they must navigate the horrific, intimate cycles of the alien facility, where bodies are harvested, minds are erased, and the failures are recycled into food. In a place where survival demands the perfect performance of passivity, what does it mean to remain human?Complete
Anoxia
Xylia has always teetered between madness and prophecy. For years she's dreamed events before they happen a gift that's left her paranoid, unstable, alone. In a world where consciousness is a bug and gods are algorithms with ego problems, Xylia will learn that reality isn't meant to be understood. It's meant to be rewritten. Here, divination is a sentence. And knowing the truth... is the first step to losing yourself. ✒️✦ This isn't a book. It's a gradual collapse. You won't find maps. You'll find glitches. Not heroes. Fractures. Not worldbuilding. But worlds that come apart while you watch. Xylia is a contaminated consciousness. She overthinks. She mis-feels. She fixates on details no one else sees. That doesn't make her wrong. It makes her real. If you feel lost, good. If you feel unsettled, stay. In this world, coherence is a lie. And breath... is something you learn only when it's gone. Welcome to Anoxia. The first 5 chapters in English are now up! Next batch (chapters 6-10) coming this Friday. This is an ongoing self-translation project - raw, glitchy, and deeply personal. Thanks for reading, bleeding, and glitching with me. 🖤 I'm Italian and I'm translating my novel myself-so if you spot errors or phrases that could be smoother in English, please tell me. You'd be helping me immensely! 👁️ Read Anossia and tell me what crosses your mind. Your comments are the heart of this project.
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?
Archeia's Atheneum (The First Shift)
You're awake. You're different. You exist, suddenly, as two things. You, the one you know, with the body and name you're familiar with--and this new you, the one exists within you. This you is inhabiting a world within your own. This other consciousness that you see through has begun to sense its timeline, each word a moment. Like the you you're familiar with, this self seems to come into its life mid-story--though the way you experience this life/story differs vastly from what you're used to. As you grow you will eventually know how to articulate it, even recreate it. First, however, you must choose to embark on/in this small incarnation; you must read the first word. For those who will tread forth on this journey, we salute you. You have been dubbed Archeia, may your journey be ever abundant.Complete
Bug: trapped in a videogame
The world of video games was fun, joyful, and endlessly entertaining. However, it was always an illusion-everything was fake in the end. Companies tried to create better games, but one surpassed them all. Immersition Company, the most powerful tech corporation in the world, developed a revolutionary video game. Despite its innovation, the company decided to test it first. Among the few people who applied for the trial, Max was one of them. Scientists claimed the test was complete. The probability of any error was just 0.001%. Anyone would have said the code was flawless. But reality proved otherwise. A catastrophic error occurred inside the game. Whoever died in the game, died in the real world. The job Max had always dreamed of became a digital nightmare. Now, he must face deadly trials, mind-twisting puzzles, and nearly impossible enemies. The only way out: collect all the shards scattered throughout the game. Max must change-or perish. Will he make it back to his world, or die lost between lines of code? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're interested in seeing the end of this story, use this link: https://app.glitchy.ai/sign-up?rid=152493.
