Within is a mythic dark fantasy where creation itself is alive-and dying. Born from a single divine spark, the Astral Plane was meant to be a sanctuary of balance. But when one soul-too empathic to survive peace-falls into rage, the heavens fracture.
From the ruins rise the Elementals: children of Earth born to restore balance. Opposing them are the Polarities, twisted reflections of divine extremes. Trapped between them are human souls, ghosts, gods, and creatures shaped by forgotten laws.
As old gods retreat and new ones awaken, a single truth emerges:
The dream of creation is unraveling.
And only one being-crafted from fury and silence-can decide whether reality deserves to survive.

In The End
Hundreds of years after the fall of advanced civilization, survivors struggle with everyday life. Tormented by loss, a young man abandons the fragile comfort of what little remains, drawn by a desperate hope and an enigmatic guide. His journey leads him to a hidden realm of ancient beings, who offer a harrowing rebirth - a communion with something primeval that reshapes flesh and spirit. But this agonizing awakening coincides with a horrifying truth: the desolate world outside is undergoing its own monstrous transformation. Predators, once familiar, now hunt with unnatural savagery, their eyes burning with a malevolent intelligence. Here, survival is not a promise, but a terrifying metamorphosis, a plunge into an escalating nightmare where the line between humanity and what lurks in the shadows blurs, and the cost of living might be a fate far worse than death.

Ashes of the hollow
The world ended not with fire, but with silence. Cities crumbled. Nature crept back. And in the ruins, the dead did not stay dead. Kael, a quiet survivor hardened by loss, trusts only his instincts. Lara, fierce and stubborn, refuses to let the world strip away her humanity. Together, they wander through forests, rivers, and the bones of cities-searching for hope in a land crawling with horrors. But the dead are changing. Some move in packs. Some hunt with unnatural speed. And some... some remember. When whispers of a hidden sanctuary reach them-a place untouched by the plague-they must choose: keep running from the dark, or risk everything for the faintest spark of tomorrow. In a world where laughter feels like betrayal and love is a dangerous luxury, survival is not enough. They must rediscover what it means to live.
