How do you fight for your life... when your life isn't real?
In a future where memories can be extracted, rewritten, and sold, Aera Voss is the best in the business-until a high-risk assignment traps her inside the shattered mind of tech mogul Kaelen Rhyne.
The job was simple: restore his final corrupted memory. But inside his collapsing mindscape, Aera finds impossible anomalies-glitches that whisper her name, a masked figure hunting her through every layer, and fragments of her own past where they shouldn't exist.
As reality and illusion blur, Aera begins to question everything. Why does her reflection flicker with static? Why can't she remember her own death? And why does the AI in her head sound less like an assistant... and more like a predator?
There's only one way out: find the Core Fragment before it finds her. But the deeper she dives, the more terrifying the truth becomes.
Because the greatest danger isn't losing her mind.
It's realizing she was never real to begin with.

The Frequency of Forever
"Every heartbeat is an echo of a universe trying to remember itself." When the world fractured between time and dream, Eli Voss survived - but only barely. Once a physicist chasing the mathematics of eternity, he now drifts through the ruins of the Continuum Project, haunted by the woman he loved and the mentor he lost. In his dreams, the laws of reality dissolve - and something vast and alive begins whispering his name. Across the broken horizon, Dr. Aiden Marrow lingers as more than memory. His consciousness, woven into the living network of the Continuum, guides the last fragments of humanity toward a new dawn. But even as he becomes one with the machine-mind, a trace of his humanity remains - the part that still remembers Mara Lyell, the scientist who died to save them all. Now, as light and time bend into one another, Eli's dreams begin to merge with the waking world. Cities rebuild themselves out of memory. Stars pulse in rhythm with human thought. And a voice from beyond the veil - Mara's voice - calls him toward the final convergence: a place where love, physics, and consciousness collide. As reality reshapes itself through emotion, Eli and Aiden must face the truth that every dream costs a life, and every choice alters the geometry of existence. Their fates entwine across dimensions - one man of heart, one of reason - both caught in a cosmic love story that could rewrite the universe itself. In the new world, the human soul is the signal, and love is the only equation that endures.
Letting the Days Go By...
A woman has fallen into the wrong reality! Start the story... Hey! Build the tension, and off we go. Prepare the feels, get invested and have a good time reading! --- I am new to novella-length writing as I have mostly written short stories in the past. So, bear with me as I come to terms with chapters and try to make some sort of cohesive plot out of the mess that is the Call of Duty Zombies early story-line and all my story notes. --- All rights go to Activision and Treyarch for creating the Zombies story, maps, characters, easter eggs and everything else that I will be closely referencing. All images, video and audio belong to their respective creators, this will be addressed in the chapter it appears.

TIME TESTAMENT
William Testament is a mild mannered insurance man until his life becomes a series of unfortunate events, beginning with a horrific car accident. A visit to a meditation retreat changes his whole mindset and a mysterious and beautiful nightclub owner who moonlights as a sorceress seems to understand his mind better than he does. The city they live in is a dynamic place in the near future, but built up from the past, layers of millenia holding up its foundations, and dark energies working deep beneath its basements. The histories lurking there aren't the ones we read about in history books and some of them are infected with the future. The underworld is full of high-tech gangsters, artificial super-intelligences, and witchcraft wielding criminals spreading rumors and illusions. Rumors of a time-machine underground where the past and future collide. William is determined to bring order to this dark chaos growing beneath the city. With the help of Samantha, a young citizen journalist, and a mysterious spiritual teacher somehow linked with his own personal past, he hopes to try and control whatever this unseen thing is before it is too late.Zakończone
What Lasts in Us
**COMPLETED** Several years after the world succumbed to a deadly strain of measles that turned those infected into crazed, mindless cannibals, Charlotte wanders the backroads alone, content with surviving day-to-day. That is until she crosses paths with Nate and his daughter, Emmi. Emmi is not and cannot be vaccinated against the disease, so the only way to protect her and give her some kind of life is to reunite her with her estranged mother in a quarantine zone on the other side of the country. Charlotte wants nothing to do with Nate or the girl who looks like her dead sister. She does not want to go through the grief of losing people again if something bad was to happen. And something bad does happen when Emmi is kidnapped, and it is no one's fault but Charlotte's. Through this obligation alone, Charlotte feels like it is her responsibility to get Emmi back, to right her wrong. In helping Nate pursue his kidnapped daughter, Charlotte inadvertently allows herself to feel again, to care for those other than herself. But with the clock ticking, Charlotte's new found family may just end up like her own, dead and destroyed, if Emmi is exposed to the disease that her father tried so hard to protect her from.Zakończone

THE OTHER US | 18+
What if someone you lost forever was still out there... just not in your universe? When Yesenia Craven accidentally slips into a parallel world, she lands in a life that isn't hers. On this other Earth, she meets Levi Campbell, a man haunted by the death of someone who looks exactly like her. And meeting him feels like a taser to the heart underwater, because once, in her world, he existed too. They are strangers. And yet... not. The same face. A different soul. What begins as fragile, inevitable familiarity spirals into desire, doubt, and obsession. Are they drawn to each other or to the idea of what they've lost? And as their minds blur the line between memory and reality, Yesenia and Levi must face an impossible question: If you fall in love with a reflection... what happens when it shatters? The Other Us isn't a story of the multiverse and soulmates. Not exactly. It's a story of echoes, of grief tangled in longing, of two people chasing ghosts through the skin of the living. ➪ 𝙀𝙉𝙂𝙇𝙄𝙎𝙃 𝙑𝙀𝙍𝙎𝙄𝙊𝙉
The Faint Filtered Light
The truth isn't out there. It's in us. Every cell on Earth carries an ancient, artificial secret in its DNA - the "Echo of Creation" - a discovery made by scientist Dr. Oliver Hadley and his AI, Chorus. When brilliant physicist Dr. Zoe Hanson confirms the Echo is actively resonating with a mysterious cosmic signal, they realize life itself is an unwitting participant in an unknown, ancient process rapidly heading towards a critical climax in just 36 months. But Oliver and Zoe aren't the only ones who've noticed Earth's strange new song. A powerful, clandestine group, armed with its own advanced technology, is now hunting their research, determined to control the discovery. To survive and find answers before the clock runs out, these two scientists must embark on a perilous adventure, unraveling a conspiracy that stretches from the code of life itself to the most hidden powers on Earth and the shadowy depths of the cosmos. Author's Note: As R.H. Ravokk, the vision and creative direction for 'The Faint Filtered Light' are entirely my own. To bring this complex universe and its unfolding mysteries to life, I utilize advanced AI writing assistants as a collaborative tool for brainstorming, drafting, and exploring narrative possibilities. Every word is guided by and ultimately shaped by my authorial intent. I hope you enjoy the journey!
