"They say the sea keeps secrets.
Jennifer just wants to make them talk."
When a sharp-tongued radio host from Kuching splashes ashore in Santubong, she expects coconut trees, gossip, and good seafood - not whispers from beneath the tide. But the beach town has a strange heartbeat of its own, and the locals all seem to be listening to something she can't quite hear.
Between laughter and legend, Jennifer finds herself drawn into a story that blurs the line between myth and memory. Who is the woman who sings from underwater? Why do the old men at the coffeeshop stop talking when the wind changes?
In Santubong, every wave brings a voice.
And not all of them belong to the living.

The Whispering Grove [COMPLETE]
They say the forest never forgets. In the shadow-draped village of Lahir, an ancient curse slumbers-bound by hushed whispers, demanding blood, and perpetuating a cycle of sacrifice no one has dared to break. Kai believed he could outrun his family's haunted legacy, until the grove called him back, dragging him into a nightmarish world where nature's fury takes on a terrifyingly beautiful form. With his mother's life fading and the enigmatic Spirit Bride lost to the encroaching darkness, Kai and the resilient Ayu must confront the ancient deity that stirs beneath the very soil. But in a place where centuries of fear and betrayal have taken root, can hope truly blossom? Dive into The Whispering Grove, a chilling journey into forgotten gods, restless spirits, and a desperate fight to reclaim a future from the suffocating grasp of the past. Will you brave the final dance, or become the grove's next sacrifice?Complete

... WHISPER BENEATH THE MIST...
There is a town where no sound exists. And something is listening. When investigative journalist Tamara Anderson stumbles upon an isolated town shrouded in an unnatural, suffocating silence, they think it's just another strange mystery waiting to be uncovered. But the deeper they dig, the more disturbing the truth becomes-anyone who makes a sound vanishes into the mist, their voices returning as whispers in the night. The townspeople refuse to explain. They only warn: never speak, never break the silence. But the Tamara refuses to obey. As the fog thickens, they begin to hear voices-voices of those who are supposed to be dead. Something ancient and hungry is stirring beneath the mist, and the silence is the only thing keeping it contained. With time running out, they risk everything to escape. They break the silence. They flee. They survive. Or so they think. As they step into the world beyond the town, ready to scream for help, a chilling realization hits them like a death sentence- The world outside has gone silent too. --- Now marked by the very thing she came to expose, Tamara must unravel the town's terrifying secrets before she becomes the next to vanish. But in BLACKWATER , some truths are better left buried. Because once the fog knows your name... It never lets you go. ---Complete
LOVE, immortal
💡 Zach (our Joong-style bubbly himbo), fresh off a mental crash after city life chewed him up and spat him out, joins a small group of friends on an impromptu "healing trip" to a remote mountain area known only through urban legend: Nocturne Ridge. A place supposedly wiped from maps. GPS doesn't work there. Locals say it was swallowed by fog years ago. Some say it still exists, if you take the wrong road on purpose. The group finds it. Or it finds them. It's the kind of place where: • Roads twist back on themselves • You hear things that don't echo right • Time passes sideways ⸻ 👥 The Friend Group: 1. Zach (joong)- himbo, bubbly, recovering mess, emotionally available against his will 2. Nate (pond)- sarcastic best friend, always planning, always anxious 3. Ella - chaotic good energy, into tarot and ghost stuff, probably packed crystals 4. Jay (phuwin)- the skeptic, thinks ghosts are dumb, only came for the hiking 5. Lia - quiet, watches too much true crime, secretly believes in everything ⸻ 🏞️ The Town Setup: • They enter a fog bank at twilight and suddenly... the road ends. Behind them? Nothing but trees. No signal. • A crooked wooden sign: "Welcome to Nocturne Ridge." • There's a half-abandoned town with polite, unnerving locals, a post office that's locked but delivers mail, and a map in the town square that's different every morning. • Their Airbnb? A dusty manor by the lake, still standing despite being "condemned" since 1984. ⸻ 🌕 Suraaz's(Dunk) POV: • He's ancient. Cursed. Immortal. But bored as hell. • The mountain used to worship him. Then they feared him. Now they forget he exists. • His tower - visible only at night - holds the barrier between sanity and something worse. ⸻ Prologue (Suraaz's POV): • He senses new arrivals. The mountain shifts. He reminisces about the last group who entered - they went mad. • He almost welcomes it. But this time... he hesitates. "They're young. Loud. DComplete

The Merchant
"They say every lighthouse keeper receives one last visitor to hear his story" said the Old Keeper "Oh! You think I am here to listen to your story?" the Sailor seemed amused "Yes" answered the Old Keeper in deep thought, looking to the sea. The Sailor broke the brief silence and said "Well it seems that I have to stay here for a while, looks like a storm is on its way..." he pointed out of the window to the now grey clouded sky "So go on, tell me your story." "My story?" "Yes your story!" "My story isn't mine, my story isn't about me" "YOUR story is NOT about 'You'?!" the Sailor humored. "What is it about then?! I hope it is not about another sea monster!" The Old Keeper turned to face the Sailor "No! Not a sea monster...a sea Master."Complete
Water Heart | P.Sh
The curse of Water Heart is the most feared among sailors. With little to no escape from it, it has through decades withheld sailors from showing their true and wild behavior. It is said very few sailors on the seas suffer from the curse. None of them would've thought of a baker girl to be the cure for their curse, if just they looked one more time at her. "As much as I hate that idea, I don't like the idea of you dying either. And by the judgement she has made we have about a month to try and do this." "Why in the world would you want to do this? You just pointed out that you hated me." "No... I hated the thought of having to love you. So now... you either let me help you or you die." "Yeah, I'll choose death. You can go now." --- Started: Aug 4, 2022 Ended: Oct 15, 2022 *Plagiarism is a crime and will be reported* *Any translations to another language without my explicit permission is prohibited*Complete
