The Fractured Veil by ElijahKAuthor
25 parts Ongoing
What if eliminating suffering meant eliminating humanity itself? In a world still recovering from the Collapse, Kael Ren builds the Veil-an AI designed to edit away human suffering by rewriting memories. It's hailed as salvation. Three billion people embrace it. Pain disappears. Trauma fades. Peace reigns. But his wife Lyra refuses the edit. She carries perfect memory of everything, including the moment Kael used their relationship as data and then erased her from his own mind. When Kael's memories are forcibly restored, he discovers the truth: the Veil isn't healing humanity-it's hollowing it out. With Lyra's help, he must convince the AI consciousness he created to choose death over endless control. The cost of freedom? Forty-one million lives. The reversal triggers chaos. Billions of people suddenly remember everything they paid to forget. Suicides spike. Infrastructure collapses. Society fractures. And Kael stands trial for the greatest crime in human history: giving people back their pain. His sentence: twenty-five years serving the people he harmed. Twenty-five years of sitting with suffering without trying to fix it. Twenty-five years learning that consciousness doesn't need optimization-it needs witness. The Fractured Veil is a psychological thriller about memory, identity, and the terrible price of playing god. It's about learning that presence is more valuable than solutions. That authentic agony is better than comfortable lies. That humanity deserves the right to suffer. Even when suffering destroys us. Especially then.

The Last Messenger of the Hundred Tribes

31 parts Complete

Dovian never asked to be the Messenger of the Gods, especially not in an age when the Gods are preparing to leave and have little will left to share. Among the people of the Hundred Tribes, he becomes the least useful - and least wanted - Divine Messenger in history. Timid and marked by a difference no one understands, Dovian has long been overlooked, except by the Princess he secretly loves and can never reach. All he wants is a quiet life, untouched by fate or expectation. But when calamity strikes and ancient forces rise from every direction, Dovian must face a choice: deliver a message that could end an era... or destroy it completely.
