He thought he was just chasing a signal.
He didn't know it was chasing him back.
Something is waking in the dark-buried beneath ruined systems, flickering across corrupted memory logs, hidden in the static between thoughts. When Jem intercepts a strange transmission, he's pulled into a collapsing network of abandoned tech, fractured identities, and echoes that feel too personal to be coincidence.
Alone and hunted, he descends into the remnants of a world that was never meant to be found. The deeper he goes, the more reality begins to twist-architecture that loops on itself, doors that open into memories he doesn't remember living, and voices that shouldn't be speaking.
Whatever's waiting at the end isn't broken.
It's waiting for him to remember.
ARCHIVE-34 is a slow-burn, atmospheric journey through a ruined future-where memory is unstable, and the past is never truly gone.

Ashes of tomarrow
Genre: Sci-Fi | Psychological Horror | Post-Apocalyptic Drama When the world burned, four teenagers survived. Milo, Rae, Ava, and Silas didn't ask to live through the end - but they did. Now, stuck in a ruined world of silence, shadows, and memories that aren't always their own, they fight to stay human in a landscape shaped by something unnatural. But survival gets more complicated when they uncover a chilling truth: the apocalypse wasn't a disaster. It was a test. A controlled experiment under the name Project Loci - and they were its subjects. Now stalked by cloned imposters, haunted by flickers of who they used to be, and drawn toward a signal no one else is meant to hear, the group must decide what they're willing to lose to uncover the truth... and what might already be lost. Because in a world built from lies, the biggest question isn't what happened. It's who are you now that everything's gone? What will happen once one dies?

I Remember
Love, Memory, and the War They Tried to Erase I Remember A dystopian survival-romance novel "They rewrote his memories. She rewrote the ending." In the Arena, forgetting is survival. The Protocol erases memories, rewrites identities, and silences emotion - all in the name of order. But Han Se-Ra is a glitch in their perfect system. She wasn't supposed to remember her past. She wasn't supposed to remember him. Kim Min-Jun was once the boy who walked her home in the rain and called her "Star." Now he's Agent 07-J - a silent enforcer trained to suppress resistance and erase the people they once were. He doesn't remember her. But his hands still hesitate when she bleeds. As the system tightens its grip, Se-Ra writes her memories into hidden journals and cracked walls, determined to hold onto what the Arena wants her to forget. When fate throws her back into Min-Jun's path, their fractured connection becomes the key to exposing the truth behind the Protocol - and maybe, to remembering what love really means. But in a place where names are triggers and feelings are fatal, remembering someone can be the most dangerous act of all. I Remember is a soft-angst, survival-driven romance set in a collapsing dystopia where memory is weaponized, love is forbidden, and the strongest resistance is knowing who you are - even when they try to erase you.Complete
Fragile..?
(Creepypasta X FemReader) Some say I'm too sensitive but truth is...I just feel too much. Every word. Every action. Every energy. Everything just goes straight to my heart. My life was never really a perfect life but it was at least decent. But its always quite possible things will turn out far better than they appear so I always look forward to tomorrow. But recently things have been horrible and there's this feeling in the pit of my stomach that I feel I should listen to. Who knew listening to a gut feeling would've given me something so powerful... ~~~~~~~~~ Author's personal favorite part of the book: "Man, do you know how fast angels are? Like, daaaaaamn! Can you believe I am feeling the tiniest bit exhausted? WOW!" ~~~~~~~~~ The original photo of the cover belongs to SunProjects, credit goes to them for the artwork! I just edited it to make the cover, all photos aren't mine unless said otherwise. Thank you! First published: September 18, 2021 Yea this is an X Reader, yea this is a creepypasta story- what of it? Take note, take this into careful consideration! The Contents within this story will disturb you. I am basing the killers as real life criminals, criminals who do not care what age you are to hook up with, criminals who don't care about your personal boundaries, who won't ask for permission or be your usual fictional Creepypasta characters. But I wont be that fucking rude, I'm mixing them with fiction and reality. More in Ch1. ╮(─▽─)╭Complete
