Synopsis
Elian has always walked the thin edge between sleep and waking. Born with the forbidden gift to step inside the dreams of others, he treats it as a secret refuge-a place where he can scatter nightmares, weave comfort, and whisper hope into restless minds. But gifts such as his are never without cost.
Lately, the village has begun to change. Friends awaken with memories they never lived. Strangers claim to have shared the same impossible dreams. And in the dead of night, Elian begins to see cracks in the fabric of reality-shadows that slip through when no one is watching. What should have been harmless illusions now leave scars that linger long after morning light.
When a cloaked order arrives, seeking dreamwalkers to harness their power, Elian learns that he is not alone-and that his ability is far more dangerous than he imagined. The dream-realm, vast and hungry, is bleeding into the waking world, and every choice he makes within it ripples outward like a storm.
To save his people, Elian must descend deeper into the labyrinth of dreams than he ever dared, where time unravels, voices whisper lies, and nightmares wear the faces of those he loves most. But as reality bends and fractures around him, one question haunts his every step: what if the world he is trying to protect is only another dream-and he is the one who needs to wake?
"When dreams bleed into reality, nothing is safe-not even the truth."

Linger
Ira has always lived slightly out of sync with the world. A 27-year-old artist drifting between rejection emails and half-finished sketches, she's grown used to the quiet ache under her skin - that feeling something important is just out of reach. Her days blur into lukewarm coffee, too-loud clocks, and dreams she can't quite shake. Dreams of black sand, twin moons, and a boy with storm-colored eyes who seems to remember her. When a strange mark begins to glow on her wrist - delicate, crescent-shaped, and definitely not a birthmark - Ira writes it off as stress. Lack of sleep. Maybe delusion. Until she sees him. In the metro station. On the page. At her door. A man who shouldn't exist outside her sketchbook - but stands in her living room with a voice like silk and eyes like the end of the world. He doesn't tell her his name. Not right away. And when he does, it tastes like something she was never supposed to remember. Rei. As her memories begin to blur with dreams, and the world starts glitching around her - Ira is forced to question everything. Familiar people vanish. Reality slips. And every line she draws pulls her closer to a truth her body remembers... even if her mind has tried to forget. There are gaps in her past that don't make sense. A childhood disappearance no one explains. A voice she's heard before, whispering from somewhere behind the veil. And a pattern of disappearances that all seem to follow in her wake. Because Ira isn't just remembering Rei. She's waking something older. And it's waking her back. Linger is a slow-burn romantic mystery woven with fantasy, memory, and myth. It's about the soft terror of forgetting, the sharp intimacy of being seen, and the aching pull of a connection that defies logic, distance, and time. Some doors, once opened, don't close quietly. And some names, once spoken, can't be taken back.Concluida
Convenant: Mysteries untold
--- Prologue: When Time Bled In the beginning, the world was silent. The rivers had not yet carved the earth. The skies had not yet known the sun. All that existed was Time-endless, unbroken, untamed. From that void, a figure stepped forth. Cloaked in eternity, crowned by shadows, he was the first to name himself Lord. The Lord of Time. With a gesture, he unraveled nothingness into hours, minutes, seconds. With a breath, he bound stars to their paths, chained suns to their cycles, and shackled mortals to the fleeting measure of their days. But even Time cannot reign without hunger. And so he reached beyond his dominion, seeking vessels in which to pour his power-creatures, mortals, children who might one day carry fragments of his eternity. Most shattered beneath the weight. One did not. From the loins of man and the womb of woman, he planted a seed: an heir. A child of two worlds. Flesh and blood... and eternity. Yet fate has always been cruel. The mother, cast into the desolate Survival Lands, bore her son in exile. She fed him with her hands, shielded him with her body, and prayed he would never hear the ticking of the father's clock within his veins. But the Lord of Time does not forget. For though the world may bleed and the stars may crumble, every hour returns to him. Every path converges at his throne of broken hours. And when the child of covenant rises, his steps shall echo across timelines, shattering bonds, forging pacts, and tearing open mysteries long untold. The covenant has already been written. The question is only this: Will he break it-or be broken by it? ---
The blue ultimatum (ultimate leveling)
In a world where power hides behind science and divinity bleeds into lightning, a child was born from an impossible fusion of cosmic energy and human life. His name was Eli Christ, son of a global industrialist and a woman whose prayers for a child echoed into heaven-and into something else. But when a family friend, Dr. Xavier Letterson, discovered the strange phenomena surrounding Eli's birth, his obsession turned to betrayal. Under the guise of research, Xavier orchestrated Eli's kidnapping, determined to uncover the truth behind the boy's otherworldly aura. The night they took him, gunfire tore through the dark-his parents fell, though Eli never knew they survived. Somewhere between fear and fury, something inside him awakened. The storm within broke loose. Every machine screamed, every light shattered, every man in the lab turned to ash. When it ended, only silence remained-and Eli's memory was gone. Years later, he would awaken in a quiet town, raised by strangers, haunted by dreams of thunder and fire. His past erased, his destiny hidden beneath ordinary skin. Somewhere out there, a girl exists-tied to him by forces neither can yet understand. She is his calm and his undoing, though neither knows why. And when the storms return, so will he. Eli Christ. Elthunderel. Alien Voltreon. A forgotten god in the body of a boy-destined to remember what the world tried to erase.
Temporal Tantrums

Inception
Kole is an Ayumu. His job is to come to people's houses late at night and clear the nightmares from their dream catchers before daylight comes, hung just above their heads.

Can they ever escape the eternal mystery of a lucid dream? ( Note : This story is fairly old. I previously wrote it for a contest, but it ended up being too long to submit. As I was still hesitant to post it, I didn't want the work to go to waste- that's all. Please keep this in mind. Thank you! )Concluida
