Being dead is awkward. Especially when you don't know you're dead until a truck tries to transmigrate you into another world. Meet our main character, ■■■■■. Ghost. Amnesiac. He forgot his own name so he went by the name Vague. He didn't ask to be haunted by questions about his past or hunted by exorcists who think "coexisting" is a bad word. After a not-so-minor exorcism attempt, Vague finds himself working with the very people who want him gone. Including Harmonix: ice-cold, strictly-by-the-book, and allergic to nonsense. "If you use your powers to interfere, I'll exorcise you myself." Harmonix warned. "Hai, hai, Captain." Vague replied, trying to keep the conversation light, but definitely sweating on the inside. Turns out, teaming up with exorcists isn't as terrible as Vague expected. He's got a new purpose, a sorta-kinda job, and some friends? Maybe? Now, if only he could remember who he was before he died. But his past wasn't that important, right? Oh, how wrong was he? Will he uncover the truth behind his ghostly existence? Or is some baggage better left buried with the body? ______ The cover art is made by me so please don't use it without my permission.

Original release: 2020 Two paths stretch before Jora as he awakens in the hospital without memory nor any known records: on one, a doctor wishes to help him recover his memory; on the other, a scientist wishes to do the same. However, on their quest for the truth, not everybody has his well-being in mind as they discover the reality of his situation puts their own goals in danger. A combination of Science Fiction and Fantasy that embraces the bizarre, and is wrapped in mystery with some aspects of horror. 2020 Author's Notes are available in the comments. I highly recommend reading the chapters first! 2024 Author's Note: This story has been cancelled, and is due to be rewritten. Many aspects may likely change in the future, though. I originally took down this story because I disliked the universe I'd set up as well as the execution of the story itself, and intended on doing a reimagining. That second take came and went, burning myself out over struggles to pace it well thanks to its highly unusual and experimental structure. This story was also taken down to prevent some of the events that occurred later in it from spoiling the latter parts of "Redwater Riot." That said, I feel like it would be a good idea to rerelease this story as a sort of museum work, a way to look at what my writing was back then and how it has changed over time. I don't intend on finishing "Polaris Garden," though I do intend on a rewrite in a later "Imperial Reach: Awakening." Something much closer to what this was than what I'd done before. I hope you will all join me in this journey as my writing grows and changes over time. Thank you. 2025 Author's Note: Imperial Reach: Awakening coming Q3 2025.
