On July 14th, at 3:55 PM, they arrived.

No one knows what They are, where They came from, or what They want. Suspended silently above cities, mountains, and monuments, the monoliths do nothing-except erase anything that comes too close. Missiles vanish. Planes disappear. Even the air thins around Them.

As days pass, humanity unravels. Governments collapse. Worship rises. People begin to walk toward Them, entranced by an unseen pull-disappearing the moment they touch the unknowable.

In the ruins of civilization, only the voice of one narrator remains. But whose voice is it, truly?All Rights Reserved

The Veil ATLAS by Sar1a52T3ah

"In the ruins of Earth, silence became the first weapon of the apocalypse. What began as whispers in dreams soon tore through the minds of humanity, leaving bodies to fall like shadows collapsing into dust. Nine millennia later, survivors scattered across distant worlds struggle to remember the home they lost, and the voices that promised both salvation and doom. In a universe where time itself has become fractured, the fate of all realms rests on uncovering what really destroyed Earth... and whether it can rise again." The story begins in 2063, not with explosions or war, but with a chilling silence that spread across the globe. Strange voices crept into the dreams of humankind, luring them toward an unseen force. Then the deaths began. First one man, then cities, and soon the entire world collapsed under a plague of the mind. Nine millennia later, the legacy of Earth's fall still echoes across space. Civilizations that fled to new worlds look back on their birthplace as both a graveyard and a mystery. Legends speak of the whispers that ended humanity's golden age, but no one truly knows if they were divine, alien, or something older than the universe itself. This is the beginning of a saga of survival, memory, and destiny where dreamers, wanderers, and warriors must confront the truth behind Earth's destruction and decide whether its fall was an ending... or the first step in something far greater.

The Egg by NoaOrn

In the heart of the desert, a forgotten antenna begins to vibrate. No one else hears it. Except her. An echo repeats through frequencies that shouldn't exist. It doesn't carry voices. It doesn't carry data. It carries something older than any language. And it's growing. On the other side of the world, someone takes note. And someone else... prepares a response. A conspiratorial science fiction novel filled with mystery, impossible signals, and a truth not everyone is ready to face. It begins with a sound. It ends with a choice.

Beneath the Shadowlanders by ManderRitzert

We knew something wasn't right from the moment we awoke. It was like something was missing - a part of our very souls - and we couldn't sense the deficiency, no matter how hard we tried. A hundred million eyes adjusted to the dark all at once, all surprised to be awakened so soon. We ran through our checklists of limbs and senses, drawing ourselves out of our dreams piece by piece. Some went back to sleep, unaware, unbothered, too tired to notice the difference. Some lay in bed, too anxious to stand until the light of dawn crept through their windows at last, and they were sure the monsters in their closets had gone back to sleep. Some leapt from their slumbers, more keenly aware than others that the missing pieces were important. But we didn't know. We couldn't have. Not until we found ourselves standing in the light and discovered: We no longer had shadows.
