The Otherworldly Ballad
/Profanity Warning!/ Orien Wells has always been good at reading people-too good, perhaps. But when he awakens to magic, his empathic abilities reveal far more than emotions: he can see the dark corruptions twisting through spells that others consider perfectly normal. His own magic defies explanation, leaving traces that shift through impossible color spectrum while established wavelength theory insists such patterns can't exist. In a world where mages bend reality through pure emotion and every spell leaves a measurable signature, Orien's abilities mark him as dangerous-or invaluable. Ancient powers take notice. Enemies emerge from unexpected places. And somewhere in the back of his mind, he remembers fragments of a life that was never his. As magical society fractures between those who would preserve the old ways and those willing to corrupt innocent people for power, Orien must navigate betrayals that cut deeper than politics and discover what his impossible abilities truly mean. Because being different in a world of wavelengths and frequencies isn't just dangerous-it might be the key to everything.

Letters from the Other Side
She woke to a world washed in silver. The clouds hung low, heavy with secrets. And when the rain began, soft, deliberate. She welcomed it like an old friend. But this morning wasn't like the others. Between the drops, she saw them. Tiny beings, born of shimmer and storm. Fairies. Real ones. They moved like the rain itself knew how to keep them hidden. And in that quiet wonder, something ancient stirred. Everyone else rushed past, umbrellas raised, eyes down. No one noticed. Except her. One fairy remained. Still, glowing, watching her like it had been waiting. When she whispered, "Hello," the world began to shift. But the rain wasn't the only thing falling that day. A parcel was coming. A diary that writes back. A demon who already knows her name. And a truth her father buried long ago. The past isn't sleeping. It's waking up.
The Living Shadow: Phantom Heart
He was just an ordinary boy living an ordinary life... until the shadow found him. ******** Not a darkness to fear, not a curse to bear, but a presence older than humanity itself, born from the deepest corners of the Earth. It has existed quietly, unseen, unnoticed, until now. The shadow entered him, and suddenly nothing was the same. It doesn't hurt him, but he cannot tell what it wants-or why it chose him. Its whispers, its movements, its presence are a mystery, and he must learn to live with something he cannot understand. As days pass, the boy begins to notice the world differently: hidden patterns, quiet truths, and glimpses of a reality no one else can see. With every heartbeat, the shadow remains, silent yet undeniable, a presence that changes everything without ever causing harm. In a story of mystery, wonder, and unseen bonds, he will discover that some companions are not meant to be understood, some hearts are never truly alone, and some shadows have always been part of the world-waiting.
