My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal. What was I then? For that, I had no answer [[Word count: 495,000]] Copyright August 2016. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story.

The saying "extreme joy begets sorrow" was likely coined for Lu Qingran. Just an hour ago, 28-year-old Lu Qingran had been promoted to manager of a department store. An hour later, she was in a car crash on her way home. When she woke up again, Lu Qingran was still Lu Qingran, but she had become the peasant girl Lu Qingran. Since she was here, she would make the best of it, Lu Qingran thought optimistically, but reality had other plans. The peasant girl, Lu Qingran, had lost her birth mother early. Her father remarried, and her stepmother, having given birth to two plump, healthy boys in three years, had become the family's hero, elevating her stepsister's status in the process. The stepsister had a marriage contract to a dirt-poor family. The stepsister refused to marry, making Lu Qingran the only suitable substitute bride. The young girl couldn't bear the thought, and when she woke up again, the soul within her was new. "I'll marry for you, but only if you sever all ties with me," the new Lu Qingran declared. "From now on, I will have nothing to do with any of you." The stepmother and stepsister couldn't have been happier. The in-laws were poor, true, but the father-in-law was honest and decent, the mother-in-law was sharp and capable, and the younger siblings were sweet. The family was harmonious. As for her cheap husband? Lu Qingran could only say that Heaven had been kind; she had actually encountered such a peerless good man. Then came the great drought from the heavens. Grains yielded nothing, barbarians invaded, and the people were forced to flee. From then on, drought, locusts, torrential rain, floods, plague... natural disasters struck relentlessly. While others fleeing the famine withered to sticks, the Yan family members were rosy-cheeked and plump. Her severed family came knocking to sponge off her good fortune. Lu Qingran's response was sharp: "Who are you? I don't know you."

It's April, 1912. Mr. Charles "Charlie" Francis Spring, a humble and hard working young man who is nearing his 19th birthday, is about to embark on a journey onboard the R.M.S. Titanic with his group of friends who all look for a better life in America. Charlie, Tao, and Issac head to the new world carrying little, aside from Issac who couldn't seem to bring enough books with him. His older sister Tori is joining them as well. Charlie's excited to see the new world, but more so to begin anew now that his turbulent childhood was behind him. It was a second chance, a new beginning. On the other side of the English Channel in France, Mr. Nicholas "Nick" Luke Nelson and his mother, along with their dog Nellie, prepare for a holiday to the United States, and they can't possibly wait any longer to tour New York for the first time. Nick had been looking forward to this for months as he viewed it as a long break from his life of assisting his father and older brother with the family business, taking no real interest in it. Having the opportunity to leave it all behind for nearly a month and tour New York City, with two Atlantic crossings surrounding the holiday seemed like the journey of a lifetime for him. It was only more exciting due to the fact that they'd be sailing to New York on the Titanic, the largest and grandest ship in the world. Both Mr. Nelson and Mr. Spring could not wait to see what the future had in store for them. They just had no idea...

What starts as a simple cooking series turns into a disaster of burnt garlic, stolen taste-tests, jealous glares and way too much unnecessary back-hugging in the kitchen. Between teasing smiles and enough unresolved tension to overheat the stove, keeping their hands off each other becomes harder than following the recipe! Because somewhere between the heating pans and playful arguments, they begin creating something neither of them planned for - 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬. And maybe... something a little more dangerous than fire.

In 2027, the world didn't change. A whisper did. Six people stopped aging. The rest of the world started dying. The sky didn't fall in 2040. It turned against us. Metal ripped from the living. Cities bent like they were never meant to stand. And somewhere beneath it all, something ancient woke up. Everyone changed. Everyone... except them. THE SIX STATICS Siana and Shauryan are still twenty-four. Still untouched. Still wrong. While the world evolved into something unstable and unfamiliar, they stayed the same-frozen in time since a day they barely remember. Now they've been chosen. Not for survival. Not for luck. For something else. Taken aboard ceramic ships built to escape a dying Earth, they begin to understand the truth hidden behind the evacuation. This isn't a rescue. It's a selection. And the ones who don't fit the future... are never meant to reach it. What if the world moved on... but you didn't? ✨ Inspired by a dream. Grounded in science. Driven by something deeper than survival.

Isipin mo na ang mundo (Earth) ay hindi lang isang planeta, kundi isang nabubuhay na organismo na bahagi ng mas malaking sistema sa kalawakan. Ang gravity ay ang kanyang "paghinga." Ang Koneksyon ng Antarctica (The "Mechanical" Reason) Hindi lang ito basta "climate change." Sa logic natin, ang Antarctica ang nagsisilbing anchor o "brake" ng gravity mechanism ng Earth. Dahil sa sobrang gaan na ng South Pole, ang centrifugal force (yung puwersa na nagtutulak sa atin palabas habang umiikot ang mundo) ay paminsan-minsang nananalo laban sa gravity. Ito ang sanhi ng mga bugso. The "Clue": Habang nangyayari ang bugso, tumataas ang lebel ng dagat nang dambuhala (hindi lang dahil sa lusaw na yelo, kundi dahil ang tubig mismo ay gustong "kumawala" sa mundo). First Wave (3s): Akala ng lahat ay "Internet Prank" o "Hologram." May mga mag-a-upload pa sa TikTok ng "How to float" challenges. Second Wave (13s): Dito na papasok ang "Denial." Sasabihin ng gobyerno na "Isolated Gas Leak" lang ito o "Atmospheric Anomaly." Walang magsasabi ng totoo na ang mundo ay nasira na dahil sa Antarctica. Third Wave (23s): Dito lang mare-realize ng mga tao na ang "Horizon" ay hindi boundary ng langit, kundi isang morgue. at walang makakapag sabi kung ilang wave ang darating pa . Na pwedeng tumapos ng mundong kinaklakihan ng mga tao . "Environment" (The Debris) Kapag nawala ang gravity, hindi lang tao ang aakyat. Concrete detail: Ang mga kalsada (asphalt) ay mag-i-crack at sasama paitaas. Ang mga swimming pool ay magiging dambuhalang "blobs" ng tubig sa ere na pwedeng makalunod ng mga lumulutang na tao.

My name is Simon, and I have a simple 3-step plan for life: 1. Stay hydrated by drinking liquids other than coffee (and blood). 2. Stay alive as long as possible. 3. Die of natural causes (ideally happily without pain in a very comfy bed). But the universe has other plans. Between billionaires offering me Bentleys, "Chosen Ones" using me as a human shield, and a literal vampire hierarchy that seems to think I'm a gourmet snack, my hobo-core lifestyle is under siege. I neither have superpowers nor a tragic backstory (unless you count my bank balance). All I have is a frying pan, a high-limit credit card that isn't mine, and a level of apathy so thick it might actually be a physical barrier. Welcome to my life. I'm just an NPC, and I'm really, really trying not to die in the prologue.

A small tremor in the Pontypandy Mountains at night triggers both strange events and the arrival of a man who knows more than he lets on and, much to the annoyance of some, isn't only interested in the landscape and its peculiarities. What's really happening up there, and is Pontypandy in danger, or just the customs and secrets that some keep there? I own no rights to the series, its characters, or the image used for the cover.
