Based on Edwin A. Abbott's 1884 novella "Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions", this reboot follows the adventures of a square and his hexagonal grandson, on an epic journey through dimensions.  They have lived their lives in the second dimension, where being regular is expected, and where the third dimension is forbidden. 
In conjunction to Abbott's writings, a sphere comes to Flatland, and turns our heroes' reality upside-down. And it doesn't stop there, with beings from other dimensions ascending and descending, and eventually arriving to the same astounding conclusion about the nature of the universe.
This modern and refreshed look at the original masterpiece has new ideas about perceptions of the universe, will leave you with thought-provoking questions, and will make you question your own reality.All Rights Reserved

Two Different Worlds; A Space Travelling Story by Theodorrism

Jack, a scientist, who wanted to prove that 'time traveling' is real, created a machine that can do just that. When he tried to use it, instead of traveling time, he traveled through space and he ended up in a familiar but different land. Due to scientific logic and space travel, as parallel universes work, he finds himself stuck in this land while his alleged double, makes his life miserable in his real home. Will he ever find a way back to his own home, back to his own dimension? And will he ever adjust to the extremes of people in his new world? This story was inspired by The Martian by Andy Weir, the Parallel Universe Theory, and Astronomy logic. This is also my first time to write a first-person book. Some things told in the story are fiction and are used to make the story more understandable.

WILD CARD (#1 COURT OF SUITS series) by StephRose1201

Legend has it, if you stand in front of a mirror, shuffling an enchanted deck of cards, you can open a doorway between dimensions. *** Prince Teodric of Springport remembers the promise he made his father: to *not* try to reenact the legend of dimensions. At sixteen, he laughed at his father's claims that there were ways of traveling through portals to other realms; but five years later, as sole heir to his recently deceased father's kingdom, the eerie tale somehow re-enters his mind, and with it a curious desire to break his promise. To see if, as his father said, other dimensions existed, and one traveled to them via cards and mirrors. But Teo gets more than he ever dreamed he would, and soon wakes in a realm of the imaginary, the insane, and the impossible... only to find he switched places with a knave named Jack of Spades.

So he picks a person and sets up a test, and he tries his best to make the person of his choice go through everything that impacted him so long ago. Read the book for an example :} /pre publish/

Shadows of Ambition by katxblack

"You think you're clever," he said, his voice a velvet drawl, his dark eyes locked on hers. "But cleverness can't save you from me, Katherine." Her breath caught, but she refused to look away. "Maybe not," she whispered, her voice trembling. "But you can't save yourself from me either." For a moment, his mask slipped-a flicker of something raw and unspoken passing between them. Then it was gone, replaced by the cold, calculating smirk that had become his armor. "Careful," he murmured, leaning closer. "You're playing a dangerous game. And you're not the only one who knows how to cheat."* In a world of secrets, power, and forbidden desire, love might be the greatest betrayal of all.
