The World In-Between
Twenty-five and lost, Alex retreats to their ancestral house in a quiet countryside to escape the noise of a life that refuses to add up. Not a single dream fulfilled, not a clear path in sight. Just questions that echo louder in the silence. Then, in a forgotten room and an old mirror that doesn't quite reflect things right, Alex stumbles into a world. Not entirely real but not entirely false either. A place shaped by fear, memory, and all the roads not taken. In its strange landscapes, and fragments of self long buried, Alex must journey through the realm that mirrors the very crisis she is running from. Because to find the way forward, sometimes one have to go to the world in-between.

The Night Library I- Unfolding
Some doors are locked for a reason. Centuries ago, Lucien was entrusted with the stewardship of a library unlike any other: a vast, hidden archive where the oldest truths of the world were kept safe from those who would twist them. Over the centuries, he has watched seekers come and go, most leaving empty-handed... if they left at all. Now, Isla's search for her missing sister leads her to the library's threshold. Drawn into its labyrinth of secrets, she finds herself under Lucien's watchful eye- unsure whether he means to help her, hinder her, or keep her there forever. As they follow a trail of ancient records and dangerous revelations, Isla begins to suspect her sister's disappearance is tied to something far larger and far older than she ever imagined. And in the library's depths, where history blurs with the present, the cost of finding the truth may be more than either of them can bear. ________________________________________________________________________________ Note: Please do not upload any part of this story to AI or language-processing platforms.

Once Upon A Time [English Version]
"There are stories that shouldn't be discovered. Stories that, once read, will change the way you see the world-forever." In a hidden corner of an ancient library, a manuscript called "Once Upon A Time" is kept. Those who have read it report strange experiences: dreams of cities with collective memories, time that can be sold at auction, and music that can alter the fabric of reality. Forty-plus portals to worlds that never existed-but feel more real than reality itself. We warn you: these pages contain dangerous ideas. Thoughts that, like parasites, will stay in your mind long after this book is closed. From markets that sell human morality to pharmacies that offer emotions in pill form. From algorithms that program happiness to forests where trauma takes tangible form. Each story is an open door to a dimension where the darkest questions about humanity are asked without mercy. This story is not for those looking for light escapism. It is for truth-seekers who dare to stare into the abyss-and find it staring back. Dare to open its pages?

Between The Pages [English Version]
Somewhere between dream and consciousness, stands a library with a guard sitting on a creaky wooden chair, his hands full of ink. He receives visitors like fallen tarot cards - a doctor with a bloody hand, a king with a crown too heavy, children who have lost their world, and a knight who loves his own shadow. His bookshelves rise into the darkness, holding unfinished stories and truths not yet ready to be discovered. The Author, with a laziness that might just be a mask, sits amongst the stacks of paper that sometimes burns itself out, watching the drama of life that visits his library like watching rain behind a window. Maybe this library is just a metaphor, maybe not. Like a mirror that reflects what we are afraid to see, it is there for those who dare to seek - though not always find.
