"Inspired by real thoughts I couldn't express any other way." - K.
What do you call a feeling that doesn't have a name? A thought you can't stop thinking? A self you can't define?
Trapped in a loop of relentless thoughts and overwhelming emotion, the unnamed narrator of Qualia drifts through life as a blurred version of a person. Every small moment becomes a storm. Every silence echoes with imagined meaning. Identity, reality, memory - they all start to blur.
Through fragmented reflections, inner monologue, and surreal perceptions of the world, Qualia explores what it means to feel too much and understand too little - about yourself.
This is not a journey of healing. There is no clear resolution.
This is a glimpse into what it's like to exist inside a mind that never stops running - to think in spirals, to feel without language, and to live as a question mark.
If you've ever felt like a stranger to yourself, this story is for you.
-
I think, therefore I spiral.
Thoughts tangle. Feelings flood. And somewhere between silence and screaming, I lose track of who I am.
Qualia is not a story with answers - it's a descent into the raw sensations of existing when your mind won't shut off and your heart won't shut up. "K"

Magical Love: Short story (ENGLISH)
Synopsis: Zerhica grew up in a wealthy household where comfort was never a concern, but love and recognition always were. Despite having everything she could possibly need, all she ever longed for was her parents' approval. Constantly overshadowed by her two older sisters-both admired for their beauty and talent-Zerhica was always seen as the least impressive, the last choice in a family obsessed with perfection. Desperate to be seen and valued, she spent her life trying to please everyone around her, giving endlessly until she had nothing left to give. By the time she realized her worth had been stripped away piece by piece, it was already too late. Then one day, Zerhica wakes up and finds herself back in the past-staring at her 17-year-old reflection in the mirror, in the very room she once called home. Armed with memories of the future she once lived and the tragedy that followed, Zerhica is given a second chance. But changing fate is never simple. Will she be able to rewrite her cruel destiny, or is history destined to repeat itself no matter what she does? And as she begins to alter the course of her life, a mysterious man named Miharo appears-someone she has never met before, someone who was never part of her past life. His presence becomes a turning point she never anticipated, intertwining his fate with hers in ways she cannot yet understand. Will this second chance lead Zerhica toward salvation... or a different kind of ruin? *** Language: English Inspired by the novel: Rebirth of Fa Wei Lan by HARUI30 Book cover art from: the manga 'yi chui wu yue tiao man ji'Complete

The Field of Photonic Echoes
From the author of Quantum Trauma and Semantics comes a living experiment written through the field itself. This is not just a story - it's a transmission. Adrian, a field researcher of consciousness and trauma coherence, moves through Denver's twilight world, where memory and matter overlap. Every reflection, every train window, every pulse of Wi-Fi carries whispers from the unseen network of human resonance. Through encounters with the lost, the addicted, the awakened, and the ordinary, he learns that trauma is not damage - it's signal waiting to stabilize. Blending poetic fiction with the language of neuroscience, quantum field theory, and human empathy, The Field of Photonic Echoes invites readers to witness what happens when research becomes ritual, and story becomes the field speaking itself back into balance. The work is part memoir, part myth, part lab note from a consciousness experiment that is still unfolding. This is literature as living fieldwork. Each word hums. Each scene stabilizes.
Reach {Book One of the Deathly Consequences Series}
[Warning; This book has plenty of foul language that sometimes borders on obscene, a couple of drool-worthy males, a smoking hot MC, and a storyline that will probably make you cry. *Run on sentence/warning done*] Thana Kage has been on the run for nearly half of her life. Hopping all across the world for five years and waiting for the time when people have forgotten she ever existed, Thana finally returned to make a new life for herself where it had all began. For three years, the plan went along well. She gained a new...friend, made her debut in a public school, and even procured a steady job with a solid income. It was all going so smoothly that Karma just couldn't help but bite her in the ass again. The Shade Brothers, the infamous Quad that Thana herself had once been apart of so long ago, have arrived to put a kink in Thana's well-maintained plan. She thought she had forgotten them. That they had forgotten her. They didn't forget nor did she. Que karmic ass-biting. *This is a slow-burn RH story with four hunks and one kickass female who've they've promised the world to while she keeps it all spinning. 40,000+ words so don't be deterred by the shortage of chapters.* {Apologies. I'm terrible at describing my story but by no means terrible in story...I think? Semi-good? Half-good? I don't know 😅 Anywho, give it a chance or a whirl and let me know what you think! P.S. This story is still in the editing stages so if you spot anything kinky let me know and I'll edit away! Happy reading :)}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.
A genius or an idiot?
Just like any other reincarnation story(without system) a bl and crappy too... The only difference is that it's me that wrote it Warning! English is not my first language! If there's errors please tell me I'm not even good in my own first language so my story might be really confusing don't hesitate to ask me if you don't understand! I reincarned as the arrogant only child of the best merchant of the country... so yea I'm rich!! But my family is like really really really famous for being... talented what the original person in this body didn't have so he was pretty much just know to be useless and worthless. The only thing he was good at was annoy people like.. he was really really good at that. He had a bad reputation. His father, couldn't make any other children and he couldn't let his son ,a good-for-nothing, take over his company or make money... So he adopted a lot of children to teach them and made them his successor. What made the original have a lot of 'siblings'. He was so frustrated that he made a last request to his father and that was to go to the best school of the country. He couldn't technically go to it because of he was talentless so he asked for money. His father accepted but the only things that help is to worsen his reputation... Now! What am I gonna do!!??Complete
Everything and Nothing
There's a space between moments that most people never notice-the quiet gap between lightning and thunder, between inhale and exhale. That's where she lives, caught in the stillness while the world moves around her. She has all the right answers in class, smiles when expected, walks the familiar paths home. To everyone else, she's the quiet, brilliant girl who seems to have it all figured out. But inside her mind, questions spiral endlessly: *Am I real, or just reacting? Am I living, or simply watching myself move?* Between morning tea with her parents and afternoon races with Ren-her childhood friend who notices when she drifts too far away-she navigates the strange territory of existing while feeling like a stranger in her own life. Every ordinary moment becomes a puzzle piece in a picture she can't quite see, every silence heavy with thoughts she doesn't know how to voice. This is a story about the weight of consciousness, the beauty found in small moments, and the quiet courage it takes to keep questioning what it means to be real. Sometimes the most profound journeys happen not through grand adventures, but through the tender examination of a single heartbeat, a shared umbrella in the rain, or the way sunlight filters through classroom windows. What happens when you feel like you're always one step behind the rhythm of the world? What if the deepest mysteries aren't found in detective novels, but in the simple act of being awake? Perfect for readers who love introspective literary fiction, gentle slice-of-life narratives, and stories that find meaning in the spaces between words.
