It’s hard to believe that the tiny man sitting across from me with shock white hair, uneven whiskers and thick, horn-rimmed glasses is the notorious Dr. Alfred Parker, self-titled “Defender of Lost Truths,” peer-reviewed “Napoleon of Atlantis.”
Genius scholar, infamous adventurer…old man displaying the cracks of age. His mind holds some of the greatest secrets never told--the mysteries of Atlantis--and I'm going to extract them from him, bit by excruciating bit. Tirades be damned.

Aquamendus Chronicles [1]: Scorpio's Secret
✨ REBOOT LAUNCH! 🌊 Hi everyone! LittleMouse1's here. The magical rebirth is almost complete! I'm thrilled to announce that the all-new, rebooted, and refined Aquamendus Chronicles will officially begin its journey on Monday, November 17, 2025. What to expect on Launch Day: The Prologue and Chapters 1 & 2 are packed with family humor, emerging magic, and the introduction of our resident clumsy hero, Alex Azklepioz. 📌 New Update Schedule: Since this is a self-written and self-translated novel (which requires extra time for polishing) and I have a very chaotic but fun schedule, I will be aiming for one high-quality chapter update every month, delivered around the 17th (if possible 😅👉🏻👈🏻). Let's make the 17th our special AC (Aquamendus Chronicles) day! Thank you for your continued support, and I can't wait to share Alex's journey with you! Love, LittleMouse1 💖🐭

Mystery At 4,000 Fathoms
I've never believed in fairytales, superstitions or fears of fantasy worlds. It's the year 1871, and yet people still believe in such idiotic stories. My job as a stoker on this ship is just so I can get some money to live on, but when the ship goes down and I'm rescued in a submarine, I'm forced to help an ambitious Jenny Playfair, a woman obsessed with finding the lost city of Atlantis. She's crazy, of course, or at least I believe she is, until she shows me evidence that such a city just might exist. As we dive farther into the deep in a desperate attempt to find something, and someone, I come to wonder: If Atlantis is real, what are we to expect? Is there more to this than we know? And if the person with me being completely true about her intentions on finding this city? It's an adventure I didn't sign up for, but quickly find myself in. But the more I find and learn about the ocean around me, the more I realize fairytales just might be true after all. Disclaimer: I do not own Zombies, Run! or any of the characters in it. This is my Stoker Five's version of Mystery at 4,000 Fathoms in the New Adventure section of the app.Complete
The Man Below (Short Story) Completed
Imagine your work trip leads to you almost dying, so close to drowning in a private pool below your hotel room. Reaching the bottom of the deep side of the pool with no air left to bring you to the surface. The last thing you saw was desperate greenish gray eyes belonging to the man that saved you. Rue'mani was left with no information on the stranger who saved her life or could pass on a note to tell him thanks. She didn't know that it was her boss's business partner being the one who saved her, but she also didn't know he did CPR until three days later when she was shown the surveillance footage. One minute, she was getting introduced to billionaire Civan Ali Serritella, and after the meeting, she was sent the footage, now aware that he not only looks familiar but he was the one to save her. Now she had two options, to thank him before she left his company or to pretend just as he was. Choosing the former option, but she did so by lying to her boss about going to the restroom. Now she has to face Mister Serritella, who said he'll only accept her thanks if she joined him for the whole night as his plus one. A night that will change her life forever.Complete![𝐈𝐓'𝐒 𝐎𝐍𝐋𝐘 𝐘𝐎𝐔 © [T.H.]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/249095126-256-k829809.jpg)
