TRANSVERSUM Beyond sight, across time. by R.M. Graves An Esoteric Reality Novel (English Version) In a future where Earth's greatest secrets lie hidden in the folds of time and space, a group of unlikely survivors discovers the truth: we are not alone-and we never were. Beneath the surface of everyday life, an invisible race known as the Translucents has quietly shaped human history, steering us toward survival-or destruction. After a devastating event that tore their world apart, Stella, Joshua, Dart, and Darsy must rebuild not only their lives, but their place in a universe far more mysterious than they ever imagined. On Earth, science and human ambition push the boundaries of nature. In a realm unseen, Transitopia rises-a city of crystal and shadow, where ancient guardians watch, waiting. As worlds converge, destinies intertwine. And the greatest threat to humanity might not come from beyond the stars- but from within ourselves. A breathtaking journey through loss, memory, and rebirth, Transversum is a story of invisible wars, unseen saviors, and the fragile hope that binds all existence together. What if you were never really alone? What if they've been here... all along? ********************* If you are wondering why the update dates are the same, is because I wrote this English version in my notes and published it all at the same time, but it was a whole year process. -R.M.

Fifteen Days of Almost I'm not writing these poems to be beautiful. I'm writing them because they're the only way I can take what's in my head, put it on paper, and see it for what it is. For fifteen days starting from 10/08/25 till 25/08/25 , I'll write exactly what I feel the thoughts I never said, the moments I noticed when no one else was looking, the tiny ways someone can change the air around you without even realising it. Maybe they'll never see this. Maybe they will. But I need to see it. I need to feel it. I need to know if what's in my chest is real, or just something I made up in my head. This isn't just poetry. It's my truth, laid out for the whole world and for myself.
