A haunting and visceral scene of a scientist and his creation dancing the line of Life and Death. It explores themes of creation, identity, and the blurred boundaries between man and machine, told in deeply descriptive and psychological prose. The tone is gothic and reflective, blending horror and tragedy to question what it means to be human when one's creation inherits both intellect and emotion.
I am delving into the Science Fiction / Psychological Thriller for this one, and this story is being used as a dump of raw unchanneled emotions for the time being.

Behind the Screen
The book follows a protagonist whose mind begins to unravel as they are plagued by eerie occurrences that blur the line between reality and delusion. It begins with subtle shifts-a feeling of being watched, strange reflections, whispers at the edges of perception-but as the story unfolds, these sensations grow more intense and impossible to ignore. The protagonist starts questioning their own sanity, struggling to differentiate between what's real and what's in their head. Is someone-or something-watching them, or are they simply losing their grip on reality? As they spiral deeper into paranoia, the boundaries of their own identity begin to fracture, and they realize they may not be the only one in control of their mind. With each passing day, the tension grows, and the truth becomes harder to discern. The story keeps readers on edge, with unreliable narration and distorted imagery that makes them question everything. As the protagonist's mental state deteriorates, the lines between the observer and the observed blur, and the final revelation leaves the reader wondering if they're trapped in this madness alongside the character. A chilling psychological thriller, this book explores the nature of reality, self-awareness, and the terrifying idea that what you think you know may be nothing more than a reflection of something far darker.Complete
Emotions Unmotivated
The human mind is a labyrinth-its darkest corners often shrouded in shadows we'd rather not illuminate. This story dares to venture into that obscurity, exploring the chilling yet captivating reality of a psychopathic mind. But this is not a tale of monsters. It is a tale of humanity-flawed, fragile, and, at times, deeply unsettling. In this book, you will not find the clear dichotomy of good versus evil. Instead, you will discover shades of gray where morality bends and fractures under the weight of ambition, desire, and survival. It is a journey through the eyes of someone who sees the world differently, whose thoughts and actions are shaped by the absence of the constraints most of us take for granted. This is a story about a person-not a diagnosis. It is not meant to explain, excuse, or justify, but rather to provoke thought, challenge assumptions, and confront the uncomfortable truths that dwell within us all.Complete
The Silence of the Earth
In a world where humanity's creations have turned against them, one woman embarks on a desperate journey to uncover a forgotten hope. As the machines evolve beyond control, a dark secret emerges, and survival becomes a race against time. But when love and sacrifice blur the line between man and machine, nothing is as it seems. Will the last remnants of humanity survive, or will they become part of the silence?Complete
Blood and concrete
On a rainy night, water blends seamlessly with blood. In the rainstorm, cries of despair fade into distant echoes. Life and death dance together, weaving the threads of fragile hopes, in the struggle to define one's identity, in the quest for even a fleeting glimpse of happiness in a world ruled by selfishness, profit, and appearances. The themes are presented explicitly, including acts of psychological, physical, and sexual violence, as well as coarse language. I am not a native English speaker, so the translation may contain errors. I've done my best, though not entirely on my own.

Become Mine And Mine Alone
(REWRITE OF THIS BOOK IS UP! It is called "Obsessive Love".) (I do not own the cover, Undertale nor any of the characters besides my OC's, they belong to their respectful owner. For some reason, I just see Error in the front instead of passive Nightmare.) Error, Forced God of Destruction and Destroyer of Universes was largely unknown unlike Ink, the Creator and God of Creation. Their fights were unseen by the AU's, none of the Monsters knowing about the Destroyer as Ink doesn't want them scared and Error gave no shits if anyone knew him or not. But Error's job is a complicated one, one that he is forced into, and he has to get involved to destroy the worlds. He doesn't touch the Original AU's, but the copies that Ink makes have to go. It was only a matter of time before something happened. Ink, in a middle of one of their fights, blinded Error, hurting him much more badly then ever before. In panic, Error ported into one of the Original AU's. Ink, fearing what Error would do, tells Dream about the Destroyer. Now the hunt is on for the broken, blinded skeleton. Meanwhile a blinded Error has been taken under the wing of another powerful Monster who has fallen for the broken Destroyer at first sight. But sweet love is truly beyond him. It is a obsessive love, a unhealthy love unlike any other. Nightmare would do anything for Error, and would do anything to keep him by his side as he goes about taking over all the AU's. Now to convince Error that he should be his and his alone.Complete
