Published on 4/5/20 In Neo's past life, he was a wicked person who sought to kill his little brother, the rightful heir of a Ducal House. His conspiracy led to his eventual demise. Then he was reborn into another world and became a successful medical researcher... ... Then he died again because he believed he was too good for the concept of sleep, and was sent back to the beginning, before his plans and cruel deeds led him down the path of no return. This second chance might be his salvation. . . It was said that the oldest Young Master of the Odum Family has become strange as of late. Was he perhaps trying to kill someone again? His younger brother better watch out, or else he might die this time. Everyone, duck and cover! Don't want to be in the crossfire! Edited by: bafflinghaze Cover by @Niveggo.

"Incompletion is the very thing that makes a love story complete." He said it - calmly, rationally - but somewhere deep inside, he hoped it wasn't true. He was logical, precise - a man who dissected his way to truth. She was sharp, intuitive - a girl who felt her way through the world, and sometimes, beyond it. Both carried their pasts like shadows stitched to their skin. One was still hiding. The other, still healing. When they met, something unfolded- not like fireworks, but like a quiet room filling slowly with light. A deeply emotional, introspective love story about connection, trauma, healing, vulnerability, and the kind of love that changes you quietly - and permanently. For readers who love slow-burn emotional stories, psychological depth, and relationships that feel real, tender, and unforgettable. ✨ What readers are saying: "You write this story in a way that has me on the edge of my seat with emotions, always" - @nikszabo, author of Falling Sideways "This chapter is heavy. Not the kind of heavy you read and move on from - it lingers. That's the dangerous kind" - @_Jane_D_O_E, author of Obsession (on chapter, The Seventh House) ✨

Supergirl arrives in Midvale guided by a sensation she cannot name - echoes of something ancient that the town insists on hiding. Between missions and silences, Kara Zor-El investigates a threat that doesn't announce itself, but gathers on the fringes. Kenneth Donovan is in town for a festival, trying to keep his own mysteries under control. The story follows his point of view - not as a hero, but as someone observing the myth from far too close. As the shadow grows, the extraordinary and the mundane begin to touch. And in Midvale, being seen can cost more than flying.

Ivan Guillermo de la Vega knows how to write about people. He just doesn't get involved. As a writer for the Indiana Daily Student, he's built his life on observation-clean, precise, and carefully neutral. Until one late night, when he answers a simple AI prompt and creates something he doesn't expect: An ideal. Calm. Consistent. Someone who stays. He closes the tab and forgets about it. The next day, he walks into a café and meets him. Owen Maverick Turner isn't loud. He doesn't try to impress. He doesn't interrupt. He just... stays. And somehow, without even realizing it, he becomes everything Ivan wrote down that night. What begins as coincidence becomes pattern. What feels manageable becomes undeniable. Ivan knows how to observe. He knows how to write. But this time, he's no longer outside the story.

Just a bunch of fictional diary entries I came up with because i was bored lol ! Very Victorian-style prose and vocabulary A/N: This piece is stylistically inspired by older literary English rather than written as a strict historical or linguistic recreation of any one period. It's a creative exercise focused on voice and mood, not accuracy. Cover: Pinterest

Why do dreams occur at night? And what do they symbolize? Are they fragments of an existing Multiverse? Or are they just mere creations of our own intense feelings and emotions? The question that even modern science failed to answer. Meet Kaizen Mizuki, an ordinary high schooler living an extraordinary nightmare. By day, he survives classrooms, bullying, and the quiet weight of expectations pressing down on him from every direction. By night, his sleep fractures into something far stranger, dreams that feel too real, spaces that exist between waking and reality, and fears that take shape and speak back. At first, they are only dreams. Then they begin to follow him. As Kaizen drifts through liminal worlds where logic bends and fear becomes tangible, he learns that sleep is not an escape, but a doorway. What begins as psychological horror slowly unfolds into something vast, astral travel, higher dimensions, and cosmic beings that do not hate humanity... yet are willing to erase it without hesitation. While galaxies burn and universes tremble beyond human perception, Kaizen still wakes up for school. He still laughs with friends. He still falls in love. Aoi, a girl who is playful, teasing, and painfully human towards him becomes his anchor to a normal life, even as Kaizen is pulled further away from it. Between awkward lunches, quiet walks, and moments of fragile romance, he carries a truth no one else can see, that reality itself is unstable, and he may be the only one standing between the boundary of existence and collapse. This is a slow burn story, blending slice-of-life warmth with psychological tension, scientific curiosity, and cosmic horror, Liminal Drift is a story about crossing boundaries, between dreams and waking, fear and courage, love and responsibility. Because sometimes, survival isn't just about saving the universe... It's about choosing to face it, even when the cost is everything... - P.S- Images in this story are all AI generated

Ethan Cole is the kind of man who shows up. For his family. For his responsibilities. For the life he's built. So when something begins to feel off, he ignores it. At first. But the distance grows. Small moments slip through his fingers. Conversations blur. Reactions don't come when they should. And the man he sees himself as begins to feel just out of reach. His wife notices. His son feels it. And Ethan is left trying to hold together a life that's quietly unraveling. As buried pieces of his past begin to surface, he's forced to confront something he's never truly faced. Not just what's happening to him-but why. Because the hardest truth isn't that something is wrong. It's that it's always been there. What Lurks Beneath is a powerful story of identity, trauma, and the cost of disconnection-and what it takes to come back from the edge when everything you love is on the line.

At seventeen, the future feels too big. While everyone around him runs toward dreams, careers, and carefully planned tomorrows, Nobita Nobi feels painfully left behind. He has no passion, no goal, and no idea who he wants to become. Called lazy, foolish, and hopeless his whole life, he begins to believe maybe he truly is nothing more than a burden. Then one ordinary afternoon beneath a tree, Dekisugi Hidetoshi sits beside him. The perfect student. The teachers' favorite. The boy who always seems calm, composed, and untouchable. But behind Dekisugi's perfection lies exhaustion, loneliness, and a quiet love he has carried for years. As summer skies stretch above them and youth slowly slips through their fingers, the two boys begin navigating love, dreams, growing up, and the terrifying uncertainty of the future together. Not running. Just strolling. A soft introspective coming-of-age story about ordinary days, quiet healing, first love, and finding someone who makes tomorrow feel a little less frightening. Because maybe every ordinary day we live is a series of miracles.

Preface This is not a story to be read. This is an invitation to an odyssey. It is an exploration of the echoes I once left behind-those former versions of a life I thought had gone quiet, but which still pulse beneath the rhythm of who I am today. We often believe we leave our past selves in the dust, yet they live on, whispering into our choices and shaping our shadows. As these pages turn, do not be surprised if your own history begins to echo around you. My echoes are on every page; are you ready to hear yours?

In a world still learning how to grow, where monsters and humans walk side by side, a quiet visitor arrives from a distant time. Frieren, a mage who has long outlived her own era, finds herself in Tempest-a nation not yet bound by history, but steadily creating it. What begins as a simple stay soon becomes something deeper, as fleeting moments and long-lived memories begin to intertwine. Between a ruler who builds the future and a mage who carries the past, time moves differently. And in that stillness... something begins to change. A gentle story of memory, time, and the quiet connections that linger-even when people do not.

tfoawm. (The Fragments of a Wandering Mind) is not a novel, memoir, or self-help book. It is a catalog of thought. Written throughout 2026, this collection captures ideas exactly as they emerged: raw, contradictory, obsessive, emotional, detached, curious, afraid, alive. Each entry exists independently, allowing the reader to open the book at any point and step directly into a different state of mind. From existential reflections to fleeting observations, from intimacy to absurdity, tfoawm. documents what it feels like to think too much, feel too deeply, and try to understand life while actively living it. (The chapters do not have to be read in order.)

In a world where kingdoms rise on blood and fade into memory, fate is not a path but a question. Ardon stands united under House Valeryeon, rulers for five centuries, their power bound to the Aetheryn, beings of light and shadow that exist between reality and nothingness. Yet peace is fragile. Kings rule without conscience, and honor has lost its worth. Beyond all lies the Atheria, where reality begins to break. But Ardon is not alone. Elaria, a realm of mystics, holds Luminaera, the crystal that sustains existence itself. As long as it remains whole, reality endures. Something has disturbed it. In Noctyra, where darkness lives, and Aposteles roam, a man without past or purpose walks forward into the unknown. Across worlds, lives unfold, each believing their struggle is their own. They are wrong. Because beyond all of this lives Rei, a boy in a world without wonder. He escapes into stories... until they begin to look back. And slowly, he realizes- He may not be the observer.

A place for all the short (less than 800 words) stories that I've written, since about 2023. I update once a blue moon when the mood strikes me. Reocurring themes include that feeling you get while dissociating at a moderately sized party, the blurry line between comedy and horror, and those little moments that nobody thinks of but I never shut up about. Some of it's not that good, but I don't think it really needs to be. I just want it to exist. --- Or; what several years of sporadic writing does to a mf.

These are poems, I created in my head. They are on real events. They are words or anything I don't say out loud. Trigger warnings include: Mention of depression Mention of anxiety mention of suicide mention of bullying mention of ableism mention of abuse (sexual, verbal, emotional, etc) and trauma if you're uncomfortable with any of these, please read something else for the sake of your mental health and safety. Because I want to say that...you're not alone. Thanks for reading. Feel free to comment and vote, no pressure. Please don't steal my poems and certainly don't put them through AI. These poems are created by me. PUBLISHED DATE: 11th March 2026

Jeremiah Constantine Marquez doesn't chase feelings. He understands things. Organizes them. Builds systems strong enough to carry pressure without collapsing under it. That's how he survives. In high school, he meets someone who almost fits naturally into that structure. Someone steady. Familiar. Easy to trust without effort. Almost. Because some things don't end through cruelty. They end because the world around them leaves no space for continuation. So Jeremiah adapts. He learns how to reduce himself into functionality. How to become useful enough to keep people comfortable. How to carry exhaustion quietly enough that nobody interrupts it. And eventually, the system works too well. Law school sharpens him into someone composed, dependable, frighteningly stable under pressure. The more overwhelmed he becomes, the more functional he appears externally. People start mistaking survival for personality. Including him. Then he meets someone who doesn't treat care like a negotiation. Someone emotionally fluent enough to notice what Jeremiah keeps trying to compress into silence. Someone who doesn't demand performance before offering presence. Someone who chooses deliberately - and continues choosing afterward. Not dramatically. Not temporarily. Just consistently. For the first time in years, Jeremiah encounters something his systems cannot organize into safe emotional distance. Because some things are not meant to be solved. Only felt. And that may be the one experience his survival instincts were never designed to survive.

An anthology of poems that I wrote in the first half of 2022

A mature man trying to establish his presence in a younger world, struggling with obstacles, while his glorious Sundays vanish in front of him.

Maeve Raines has seen golden strings since her teenage years-thin, luminous threads tied to people's pinkies, binding them through choice, emotion, and consequence. Friendship. Betrayal. Belief. Obsession. Love. Everyone has them. Some have many. Having only one is rare. Having none is impossible. Except Maeve cannot see her own. Now in her late twenties, she lives a life that demands silence and observation. Her secret stays hidden, pressed between unanswered questions and the letters she writes to the Fates-quiet confessions meant for powers she isn't sure are listening. Over the years, she has learned every shade of gold that exists and memorized their meanings. There is nothing left about the strings that should surprise her. To the world, she is someone else entirely. She goes by Juno-a name chosen, not given. A name she wears like armor. Under that name, she drifts. Watches. Learns how lives knot and unravel. Until she meets Theo Mercer. Her neighbor is gentle, reserved, and marked by something she has never encountered before. He has no visible strings. Not one. The absence unsettles her more than any bond ever has-because she knows what every shade should mean, and yet he fits none of them. Theo knows nothing of fate or golden threads-only that being near Juno feels fragile, like something he shouldn't expect to keep. What unfolds between them is not loud or dramatic. It is slow. Measured. Built from shared glances, half-confessions, and the quiet comfort of being understood without explanation. And for the first time, Maeve feels something she cannot categorize-a pull, a burn around her own pinkie whenever she turns away from him. Still unable to see her string, she prays-desperately-that if it exists, it will not be the worst kind. The color of love that never gets to stay. To the Fates is a quiet, tragic exploration of destiny misunderstood, love interrupted, and the cost of seeing what others cannot.

Eira, a married woman navigating adulthood, unexpectedly reconnects with her ex-boyfriend and must confront the emotional aftermath of their breakup in order to understand who she is now-and what she's truly left behind. Bitter Sweet is a contemporary literary fiction novel that unfolds over the course of a single day and explores memory, identity, and the lingering ache of unresolved love. Eira, a woman in her early 30s living in Gurgaon, is en route to Noida to stay with her cousin while her husband, Ameh, is away. At a metro station in Delhi, she unexpectedly runs into Aryan-her ex-boyfriend from over a decade ago. What begins as a brief, awkward exchange turns into a quietly emotional day filled with shared silences, honest conversations, and the tension of everything they never said when they broke up. As they walk through familiar parts of the city-cafés, streets, and metro stations-they revisit the past with a new lens. Eira, caught between who she was and who she's become, finds herself questioning how much of the past she still carries. Aryan, more reserved but equally affected, reveals how he processed their sudden breakup years ago. As the day winds down, a street artist paints two portraits of them-one close and warm, the other distant and blurred. The paintings echo the shift in their bond: intimate but inevitably changed. On the metro platform, they face their quiet goodbye. Eira doesn't betray her marriage but confronts a deeper emotional truth: closure doesn't always come in neat forms. Sometimes, it's in a shared cigarette, a half-smile, or a simple "maybe."
