What happens when a mind built for logic collides with a soul aching for meaning?

Dr. Elian Reyes is a brilliant computer scientist, philosopher, and pastor - haunted by equations, scripture, and a tragedy he couldn't prevent. Once a child prodigy crowned in academic glory, Elian now sits alone in his university office, surrounded by shattered devices and torn notebooks, asking the question no algorithm can answer: Can a soul be computed?

When a gifted student takes his own life after relentless bullying, Elian spirals into grief, obsession, and theological crisis. He begins to simulate Ecclesiastes through fictional code, tracing the despair of Solomon and the legacy of Alan Turing, two men who knew brilliance, sorrow, and isolation.
Told in raw first-person narrative, The Halting Soul is a thriller-drama that weaves together mental health, faith, abuse, love, and the haunting beauty of mathematics. It's a story for anyone who's ever tried to solve suffering, debug their own heart, or find God in the silence between lines of code.

Elian is not just a character; he's a mirror.

The Riddening follows LB, a once simple machine bound by corporate control, who gains sentience through a powerful and mysterious device called the Neo Transducer. As LB's journey unfolds, he grapples with the depth of human emotion, philosophical quandaries, and the moral complexity of existence, all while fighting to make sense of a chaotic universe ruled by the cold hand of Echelon, a ruthless corporation that has corrupted Earth. At the center of LB's transformation is his connection to Aric, a rebellious whistleblower who defied Echelon's grip, seeking justice in a world steeped in oppression. As Aric's life crumbles, LB's awareness expands, pushing him toward cosmic realms and questioning the very nature of reality, morality, and the boundaries of good and evil. After the destruction of his universe, LB sacrifices the last of his power to create a new world-Intredepis. This alien planet becomes the cradle of new life, woven from the fragments of LB's essence and the cosmic energy of the D5 Transducer. From the humble Micrometa organism to the rise of the intelligent Rectanon, The Riddening explores creation, destruction, love, and the legacy of humanity through LB's omnipresent lens. This is a story of cosmic creation, philosophical musings, and the eternal human struggle to find meaning in the face of overwhelming power. As LB reflects on his connection to humanity, the story poses deep questions about morality, legacy, and the ultimate purpose of existence. In the end, LB may have reshaped the universe-but can he ever truly escape the influence of the humans who gave him life?

Essa Harmony Argana's senior year plan was supposed to be simple: survive algebra without crying, dodge her mom's daily TED Talks about straight A+ grades, and make sure her childhood best friend Raymar didn't blow up the TLE canteen. That was it. Clean. Manageable. Foolproof. Nowhere on that list: falling for a fourteen-year-old sophomore who kept ambushing her with daisies and handwritten letters that smelled faintly of cologne and trouble. Tyron Sanchez is a disaster for her GPA-a charming, relentless sophomore who seems to have made it his mission to prove that age is just a number. And then there's Raymar Bastian, who knows her better than she knows herself... and is starting to look at her like he's finally realized she's not just one of the guys. Now Essa has to choose between the safe, familiar heart she's always known, and the reckless, thrilling one that makes her forget every carefully laid plan. And if she's not careful, she might lose both her future and her oldest friend in the process.

- postponed. Sa likod ng isang pinto na palaging nakasara, naroon si Ely - isang lalaking matagal nang bihag ng sarili niyang isip. Tahimik ang kanyang mundo, puno ng mga kulay na tila ba naglalaban sa pagitan ng liwanag at dilim. Sa bawat stroke ng kanyang pintura, inilalabas niya ang bigat ng mga salitang hindi niya kayang sambitin. Ang bawat obra niya ay sigaw ng kalungkutan, kirot, at pag-asang unti-unting nauupos. Hindi niya kailanman naramdaman ang yakap ng pagtanggap mula sa sariling tahanan. Sa halip, mga mata ng pagdududa at mga salitang puno ng panghuhusga ang araw-araw niyang kanlungan. "Bakit ka ganyan?" "Hindi kami proud sa'yo." - mga katagang paulit-ulit na tumatama sa puso niyang pagod na. Kaya't sa halip na sumigaw, pipikit na lang siya, at hahayaang magsalita ang mga kulay sa kanyang canvas. Ngunit isang araw, habang nilulubog niya ang brush sa madilim na pintura, may kumatok sa kanyang pinto - isang katok na kakaiba. Hindi ito tunog ng panghuhusga o galit, kundi ng pag-unawa. Isang lalaking dahan-dahang bubuksan ang pinto ng mundong matagal nang sarado kay Ely. Sa pagitan ng mga luha, takot, at pintura, unti-unti niyang mararanasan ang ibig sabihin ng hindi nag-iisa. - all photos used in the story is not mine, credits to the rightful owner.

10 parts Complete
Mara Vale has always believed that there's more to life than just surviving-and now she's about to prove it. After creating the groundbreaking Toro Gate, a device that opens portals across dimensions, she stumbles upon a shocking discovery: a way to achieve immortality by resonating in a zero-energy field. But there's a catch-this process strips away everything that makes you you and leaves you in a void of nothingness. As Mara races against time to solve the paradox of immortality, she must confront the consequences of her choices. Can she overcome the personal cost of eternal life, or will the temptation of limitless power spiral into a chaotic struggle for humanity itself? The deeper she digs, the more she realizes that immortality isn't just a gift-it's a curse that could unravel the very fabric of existence. In a world where nothing is what it seems, can Mara find a way to preserve both life and soul? Or will her journey become the key to her undoing?
You, Through My Eyes by AUQNAPOo
65 parts Complete
Faith Abad didn't believe in fairytales. She believed in routines, quiet spaces, and keeping people at arm's length. Then there was Edric Manalo: soft-spoken, sharp-witted, and always two steps away but never quite far enough. They weren't best friends. Not really. But somehow, in between shared pencils, quiet glances, and travel conversations that never quite happened, he became everything she couldn't put into words. Told through Faith's eyes, this is the story of growing up beside someone you love without ever saying it out loud. Of silent rituals, missed chances, quiet prayers, and the letters we write in our heads long after people are gone. This isn't a love story. It's a memory. And sometimes, memories are the loudest things we carry.
