Donna Mensah never believed in ghosts-until the day she became one.
When a secret digital world known as the Ghost Grid swallows her teammate alive, Donna and the rest of the Dark Thread are forced to dive inside to bring him home. The deeper she goes, the more she uncovers: corporations trafficking human minds, influencers made of code, and the return of her sister-the sister everyone swore was dead.
Now Donna's trapped between two men who see her in opposite ways-Valen, the broken heart she saved, and Santino, the hard-edged fighter she can't stop colliding with. Together, they'll have to face the AI empires that built their nightmares and decide what's real, what's synthetic, and who they still are when the static clears.

Tethered: The Mind-Buzzing Horrors of Kamabo Co. (Splatoon Fanfiction)
Agent 3 wakes up with a hazy memory in a place that screams danger to her instincts as the hero of Inkopolis. When her senses return, she recalls being dragged underground-abducted by the floor itself. To escape, she must prove her worth alongside a familiar figure who was taken as well. Agent 3 had always thought of herself as a lone wolf on the battlefield, but with no other way forward, she's forced to fight in sync with this stranger. And soon, she may discover that working in tandem isn't as bad as she once believed... -- I tried making this as easy to understand as possible for people with no previous knowledge in Splatoon-but there are still a lot of references to the games that you may not understand otherwise. And I took some creative liberties as well.Complete
The myth of Équili. I will find you in every life - series.
She was never meant to awaken... and he was never meant to care. Sarina has spent her life hiding a power that shouldn't exist-one that even the ancient fairies fear. When a violent surge exposes her abilities, she is sent to train under Ariel, a cold, exiled warrior whose own past is buried in betrayal and silence. He is everything she despises: strict, unreadable, merciless in his methods. She is everything he didn't expect: stubborn, fragile... and terrifyingly powerful. Their world is fractured between elemental bloodlines, sacred myths, and a forbidden book lost to history. Kingdoms are watching. Priests are hunting. Something old is waking beneath the surface-and Sarina might be the key to saving or shattering everything. But power comes with pain. Training feels like war. And the most dangerous thing in the temple isn't the magic. It's the way he looks at her when her power flickers. It's the way her heartbeat changes when he steps closer. In a world where loyalty is deadly and emotions are a weakness, two broken souls are forced together by fate... or something far more dangerous. Magic. Tension. Slow-burn obsession. This is not a love story. This is how it begins.

Visha: A Deadly Poison
The past lingered in her eyes, a haunting reminder of the trauma she'd endured. Years had passed since that fateful night, but the scars remained. The memories of her mother's lifeless body, her boyfriend's desperate attempt to save her, and his ultimate sacrifice still burned within her. The injustice that followed, fueled by deceit and manipulation, had only added to her pain. The photograph, taken in the heat of her grief, had sealed her fate. A snapshot of her holding the knife, her boyfriend's lifeless body behind her, had been twisted to portray her as the killer. The truth, however, was far more sinister. The rain poured down like tears from the heavens, washing away the city's sins, but not the memories. She stood there, her eyes fixed on the spot where her world had crumbled. The laughter, the love, the life - all lost in an instant. The knife, still lodged in her memory, seemed to pierce her heart anew. Now, she's back, driven by a burning desire for revenge against those who wronged her. The system failed her once, but she won't let it happen again. This time, she's ready to take matters into her own hands.
The Demon's Promise
Left on a lonely beach as a child, Seren was found by a kind couple and raised in a quiet coastal village - but the sea never forgot her, and neither did the darkness that brought her there. As Seren grows, strange things follow her: flickers of power, whispers in her dreams, a feeling that something is waiting just beyond the waves. Despite her warmth and quick wit, she's a troubled girl - haunted by visions she can't explain and a voice that sounds too much like her own. When tragedy strikes and Seren falls into a coma, she awakens in a world between life and death... and comes face-to-face with the truth: her mother is no human. She is a demon - ancient, furious, and ready to reclaim what she made. Seren escapes back to her world believing her mother's lies of love and redemption. But as the years pass, the sky begins to fracture, the oceans burn, and the truth surfaces - her mother is the one ending everything. Now, with her powers spiraling out of control and the world collapsing around her, Seren must face the woman who gave her life... and may be forced to take it away.Complete
CLOUD CASCADE
It's the year 398 of the Ninth Era, an age dominated by the Federation's authoritarian control and by the insidious influence of megacorps like Mercator Group. Human-piloted, mass-produced machines known as Frames define the battlefield, surveillance programs monitor your every move, and no one alive remembers what it was like before it got this way. It's in this tightly-wound, bloody ecosystem that four lives collide. The Knife, a mob enforcer with the ability to bend matter, ends up a courier for a piece of tech she's been trained not to ask questions about. Angela, a Frame Pilot Specialist with the Ministry of State Affairs, fights for justice only to find deafening silence. Grey, her teammate, just wants to keep the squad sane. Major Falwin, their superior, investigates a crime scene and finds a Knife-shaped ghost. Nobody has all the pieces to the puzzle-not until Frames drop, guns are pointed, and the nature of reality becomes a question mark. In this new, unrelenting conflict, there won't be any winners, only more devastation.
Haunted, But Awake
She hears thoughts. He thinks in static. And somewhere in between, an ancient voice is waking up. Seventeen-year-old Nyra has spent most of her life being told she's imagining things- the whispers in her head, the flashes of memory that aren't hers, the voices that don't stop when the world goes quiet. But when a strange boy named Rivan Vale enters her therapy room-with a smear of blood on his collar and thoughts loud enough to burn-Nyra realizes she isn't hallucinating. She's connected. To something old. To someone dangerous. To a mind that once shattered the world from the inside out. As their connection deepens, Nyra is pulled into a world of underground experiments, vanished patients, and a name erased from every file: > Patient Echo. They say she vanished in fire. They say her mind was too dangerous to contain. They say she's gone. But Nyra knows better. Because Echo isn't gone. She's just been waiting. And now, she wants out.
