This world is not what we think it is. I'm here to tell you what it truly is. Maybe.

In a world ruled by machines, contracts matter more than people. Kira survives by never asking questions. She takes the job, completes the mission, disappears. That's how you stay alive. Until one assignment changes everything. Lila was supposed to be delivered. Instead, she was released.

It's about two people learning how to survive each other, in a place where attachment is the most dangerous thing of all.

In the deep crushing depths of the Midnight Zone, humanity's curiosity can be deadly — Mission 6548 was supposed to be a routine deep-sea exploration. But when the crew sees an uncatalogued specimen, the line between science and life blurs. As the submarine plunges deeper into the abyss, a silent, translucent predator watches their every move. In these depths, no one can hear you scream… But something always listens. And it's there with you. Can you see it? It has already seen you, down here. You can't run. Only pray. Does God exist? I am unsure... But I hope so. Pray... Before you fall deeper into the dark abyss. Forever.

The People had achieved a utopia of sorts. They were not aware of what grew under their feet. Join Jyor as he attempts to learn what threatens his home, and what might be gained from it. ------ This is a short story I wrote for a contest. The only rules (besides the obvious: no AI, no fanfic, etc.) was that the theme was "dragons in space". I definitely sort of skirted around that rule, but I'm pretty happy with it. Just a short (11.6k words) story, presented here in full. Fun to write, and I think it turned out well for my first attempt at a short story. There were 365 competitors, and I might have finished 365 for all I know!

Em Aethelgard, a cidade onde arranha-céus tocam as nuvens e segredos profundos repousam sob o oceano, a era dos heróis lendários está chegando ao fim. Enquanto os Sentinelas do Amanhã se perde em burocracias e política, uma nova ameaça surge das sombras: a Sombra Escarlate, uma organização que busca remodelar a humanidade através da violência e da tecnologia proibida. ​No centro da tempestade está Grant Calloway, o herdeiro tático do maior herói da cidade. Escondidos no Santuário de Vidro, uma base tecnológica submersa, Grant e uma equipe de jovens prodígios percebem que esperar pelas ordens dos veteranos é o mesmo que aceitar a derrota. ​Quando a Torre Thornfield é atacada pelo implacável Sanguinário, um vampiro de 300 anos, Grant toma a decisão que mudará sua vida para sempre: ele ignora o alto comando e ativa o Protocolo Ômega. Agora, eles não são mais apenas "ajudantes" ou aprendizes. Eles são a última linha de defesa de uma metrópole à beira do colapso. ​A nova geração acordou. E eles não pediram permissão.
