Jen Multicore was the only thing that survived when the Ender Army destroyed Creg Town. Raised by a man who wasn't his father, carrying a sword that belonged to one who was, Jen grew up in New York City as something the world didn't have a name for. A genius who processes reality faster than most people breathe. An empath who absorbs strangers' pain like it's his own. A young man whose kindness is so total and so unstoppable that it has become something closer to a curse than a gift. He just wanted to help people. Then a man fell from a storm that shouldn't exist. Then the towns started disappearing. Then the sword his father died protecting began to feel heavier than anything that should be carried by someone who doesn't understand what they're carrying yet. Now Jen is learning that the world is larger than New York. Larger than Earth. Larger than anything a genius mind can map or an empathetic heart can prepare for. And the forces that destroyed Creg Town weren't finished. They were just getting started. CREG SMP is a story about a boy who was born into a war he didn't choose, a crew he didn't expect, and a destiny he inherited without consent. About what happens when the kindest person imaginable is handed the most dangerous weapon in existence. About how far genuine goodness can carry someone into the dark before it needs to become something more than goodness. About learning that the sword's silence isn't absence of guidance. It's the weight of everything still to come. Action. Philosophy. Found family. Cosmic stakes. A protagonist who will make you question everything you thought you knew about what it means to be good.

These stories are a dedication to those who prefer the intoxication of dreams, to those who venture into gardens to contemplate the beauty of beneficial plants while uprooting the unwanted, to those who, like Bovary, imbue their lives with a palette of colors borrowed from Romanticism, to those who envelop their sleep in the scent of lavender, to those who lose themselves in music as the hours drift by and find happiness in reading moving and tender novels. They are for those who carry within them the hope of a transformed existence, where the visions of their thoughts intertwine with the tangible, oscillating between the sweetness of tomorrows and the shivers of darkness... Embarking on the path of humanity is not limited to embracing what we deem advantageous for our existence. While the stories frequently adorn themselves with the trappings of romance, it is true that they also contain, here and there, layers of subtle shadow. It's up to you to discover them.

❝Drowning always comes at a price, and this time it might just be too high❞ But Tanisha Roy didn't dread the price. For she had been drowning quietly for years now. Sealing lips never sealed her heart from woes. In contrast to what people saw from the outside Tanisha's life was far from perfect. She was already dealing with her brother's 'condition' and the toxicity of her family. And it's not until she moves from a small town in Meghalaya to Mumbai after a long isolation, that her life transforms. It was supposed to be a new beginning. But instead she finds herself entangled with a group of notorious teenagers with a whole baggage of their own. While perfection might just be a myth, some flaws refuse to stay hidden for long... And when secrets threaten to expose them and question their sanity, they must confront the parts of themselves they've spent years avoiding. Because after all, how can you love someone else when you don't love yourself first?

Just some poems I wrote. Mostly psychological, philosophical and metaphorical

My seventh poetry book. The haunted one that you just can't put down.

I survived a stroke and decided to write to show people how precious life is. In this collection, every verse is a journey. Inspired by the natural rhythm of the English language and the liquid fluidity of its sounds, I explore what it means to be alive-from the quietest lake to the fiercest fire. This is my tribute to the flow of existence!!! Credits: Poetry: Nando Poeta Cover Photo: M.Quintas Typography/Design: Nando Poeta

She doesn't break. She doesn't beg. She doesn't belong to anyone. They think they can touch her. They don't. Because she carries storms in her silence, and power in her absence. This is not a story of love. It's the story of someone who refuses to be undone......again.

My best friend disappeared without a trace. No one knows what happened, where she is, or if she's okay. What really happened that night? And how do you live with yourself, knowing you might have hated your best friend in her final moments? This story follows the aftermath of a teenage girl's disappearance. The story is not build around just the mystery itself, but also explores the psychological weight it leaves behind. Told through a reflective, almost poetic voice, it explores guilt, memory, and the fragile line between love and resentment. Echoes of the Evening is a slow-burning, psychologically layered story with underlying moral and societal themes. Note from author:I'm writing this story intuitively, discovering it as I go. Neither the characters, you nor I know how it will end, but isn't that the fun of it all? I always set the standard for myself on writing meaningful literature. I hope to carry moral, psychological or societal depth in my stories. English isn't my first language, so I'm always open to feedback (both positive and critical!). I hope you'll enjoy reading this story as much as I enjoy writing it!

Their freshmen year, they had an awkward first meeting, and ever since then, Asher has taken it upon himself to annoy the hell out of Ivy. That all comes to a skidding stop when one of them finds the other in a vulnerable moment, and from then on, a question always lingers in their minds.

My personal collection of poems and short stories.

A normal girl who had been bullied by students. She got scars that only pure love can heal. There's one boy who came up and made her become a writer. He who became her shield and safe place in a world where humanity does not exist. ✎ She is Janella Zharéanne Magallon. Hindi bullying ang nagpadugo sa isang mahinang babae na katulad nya. Kundi pagmamahal ng isang lalaki na dumating sa panahong hindi nya maunawaan kung makatao pa ba ang ginagawa ng mga tao sa mundo. At a young age, she got bullied. She got hurt, she got wounds, and she got scars. But with love, she got healed. Only the genuineness and cares from him became the medicine of her pain. Kaya nung dumating sya, nakaramdam ito ng kapayapaan na wala na muling makakapanakit pa sa kanya maging ang sarili.

There are so many things she wants to tell him, but it's like they're two parallel lines-close, yet never meant to meet. Every time he's near, her heart races, but she keeps the words inside, afraid they'll never reach him. So instead, she writes poems and prose, hoping that somehow, her feelings will find their way to him, even if they're always walking in different directions.

Six friends. Too many feelings. And love that never follows the right direction. When they learns that love unfolds in stages, she starts observing her own-unaware that every sign points to the one person she was never meant to fall for. As friendships blur, hearts break quietly, and jealousy creeps in. The Stages of Love becomes a story of realising love always finds its way in lives. ©All rights reserved
