Circular Sunglasses Vikkstar

The mirror of the silent minds

In a world where memories are no longer private and reality bends with the will of the mind, Aaryan Vel, a philosophy student, awakens from a coma into a city veiled in ash, silence, and half-remembered ruins. But the city remembers too much—and not all of it is real. Plagued by visions of ghost-like doppelgängers and haunted by whispered fragments of a past that never fully existed, Aaryan stumbles upon a disturbing truth: the world he inhabits may be a beautifully constructed lie, a neuro-illusion engineered to cage the pain of a dying civilization. The people around him—each lost in their own circular truths—seem less like survivors and more like dreamers who’ve forgotten they are asleep. Guided by Mira, a blind painter who paints only the future, and Dr. Rahil, a neuropsychologist studying the unraveling minds of “awakened” citizens, Aaryan begins to dig into the buried codes of the city’s illusion—something known only as The Reflection. It is a phenomenon that distorts perception, unroots memory, and ultimately shatters the mind’s fragile grip on what is true. As reality fractures further, Aaryan must face a harrowing choice: accept a comforting lie that preserves meaning, or destroy the illusion and confront a reality that may be uninhabitable, even unrecognizable. A tale that blurs the line between memory and madness, illusion and identity, The Mirror of Silent Minds is a profound exploration of what it means to be—when even truth itself can be manufactured.

Dumagat: Ang Tagapagmana ng Liwanag

Si Carlo de Luna ay isang 25 taong gulang na lalaking mestizong may dugong Kastila at Cebuano. Siya ay may taas na 5’5” na may matipuno ngunit karaniwang pangangatawan. Tinatawag siyang "Dumagat” dahil siya ay nagmula sa baybaying-dagat ng Zamboanga del Sur. Tuwid ang kanyang buhok, may suot na salamin sa mata na nagpapahiwatig ng kanyang henyo sa agham at matematika, subalit madalas niyang itinatago ang talino sa likod ng isang simpleng imahe—isang tipikal na gangster na nakasuot ng karaniwang damit at may sunglasses para hindi mahalata ang kanyang tunay na kakayahan bilang guro at tagapagtanggol ng bayan. Bilang isang overpowered na tao, si Carlo ay matapang, matalino, masayahin, at may matibay na political will. Mahilig siyang makipagkompetensiya, lalo na sa larangan ng agham at sining ng pakikipaglaban. Sa kabila ng kanyang lakas at talino, may malaking takot siya sa pagkawala ng mga mahal niya sa buhay at ng kanyang bayan—isang kahinaan na nagbibigay lalim sa kanyang pagkatao. Mahilig siyang magbasa, mag-imbento, magsanay sa agimat, at madalas siyang nagkakape at naninigarilyo bilang bahagi ng kanyang araw-araw na gawain. Si Carlo ay nagmula sa Zamboanga del Sur at dumayo sa Bukidnon upang tuparin ang kanyang misyon na lipulin ang mga aswang na sumisira sa katahimikan ng mga tribo. Bago pa man niya natuklasan ang kanyang tunay na kapalaran, ninanais niyang magkaroon ng isang normal na buhay bilang guro at lider ng Quantum Gang — isang samahan na lumalaban sa mga masasamang tao gamit ang pinaghalong makabago at makalumang teknolohiya. Ngunit nagbago ang lahat nang matuklasan niya ang kanyang pagka-Tagapagmana ng Liwanag, isang natatanging tagapagligtas na pinapangalagaan ng mga sinaunang diyos at espiritu. Bilang henyo sa matematika at agham, mahusay siyang lider ng Quantum Gang dahil sa kanyang kasanayan sa Khali at Aikido, at may kakayahan ding magturo ng edukasyon. Ang kanyang mga armas ay mga modernong pluma at papel na ginagamit sa pagsulat at pagbigkas ng mga Latin na orasyon na minana mula sa kanyang lolo na isang Kastilang dalubhasa sa sinaunang mahika. May dalang whip na gawa sa metal na tila pangil ng kidlat ng dragon, na mana naman niya sa kanyang lola na Cebuana. Bukod dito, nagdadala siya ng mga mutya ng hangin, tubig, apoy, at kalikasan, pati na rin mga makabagong gadgets tulad ng cellphone, tablet, at locator na tumutulong sa pagtunton ng mga kampon ng kadiliman. Isang mahiwagang clay pot din ang kanyang gamit sa pagluluto ng mga pildoras para pampalakas at pampagaling ng sugat. Walang kahinaan si Carlo sa tradisyunal na pakahulugan—isang tunay na overpowered na bida. Sa kanyang buhay, malapit siya sa kanyang mga magulang—si Pedro de Luna, isang disiplinadong mandirigma at eksperto sa Kali at Aikido; si Maria Dimapili, isang guro ng panitikan at tagapangalaga ng kultura; at sa kanilang mga ninuno—si Miguel de Luna, ang dalubhasa sa Latin na orasyon na nagsisilbing gabay, at si Clara Dimapili, ang makapangyarihang babaylan na tagapangalaga ng kidlat at kalikasan. Pinagpapalakas siya ng kanilang mga aral at espiritwal na legacy, na nakaugat sa mga diyos ng kidlat gaya ni Magwayen. Bilang asawa ng limang makapangyarihang babae mula sa limang elemental tribes ng Mindanao, pinangangalagaan ni Carlo ang balanse ng kalikasan at kapangyarihan. Kabilang dito si Dayang Laya Binhi, healer mula sa Nature Tribe na may kaalaman sa herbal medicine at bio-spiritual healing; si Alunsina Daligdig, mandirigma ng Fire Tribe na eksperto sa apoy at tribong pakikidigma; si Bulan Sadsad, tank ng Earth Tribe na bihasa sa mountain warfare; si Amihanan “Mia” Salakay, assassin ng Wind Tribe na eksperto sa stealth at aeromancy; at si Ligaya Panubig, marksman ng Water Tribe na may husay sa hydro-pressure ballistics. Pinangungunahan niya ang kanilang limang mentor na pinagsama-sama sa pangunguna ni Datu Kidlat-an, ang tagapamagitan ng mga tribo, upang labanan ang panganib mula kay Datu Silab–Itim, ang Punong Itim ng Kadiliman.

HE WAS HER SALVATION

SYNOPSIS : They say power runs in blood, but so does pain. Elizabeth Ashford was born with everything—wealth, beauty, legacy. But the moment she came into the world, her mother left it. Then her grandparents were taken by a car crash, and the only person she had left—her father—slowly vanished behind boardroom doors and corporate burdens. Night after night, she waited at the dinner table with a tiny plate and wide eyes. But "next time" never came. Now at 21, she’s the future of the Ashford Conglomerate and a top student at the prestigious Valcrest University. Cold, graceful, untouchable. Her heart, once soft and full of hope, has turned to ice. Because she learned the hard way—depending on someone only leaves you alone in the end. But ice can crack. Especially when fire walks in with a smirk. Niklaus Devilson isn’t just another elite. He's the heir to the Ebon Court, the secret organization that controls the underworld—politics, mercenaries, medicine, hacking, science. A living ghost. Feared by nations. Worshipped in shadows. Known only by his alias: Mr. X. With snow-white hair, electric blue eyes, and a wicked grin, Nik is chaos in silk. A genius hacker. A master fighter. A playful storm wrapped in charm. Mischievous, unpredictable, and fiercely protective of those he loves. He lives to break rules—until he meets the one girl he can’t crack. She's ice. He's wildfire. And when their worlds collide, the game begins. EXCERPT : The grand gates of Valcrest University swung open with their usual drama, letting in the rich, the brilliant, and the obnoxiously fashionable. Elizabeth Ashford walked through like she owned the place—because, well, she kinda did. Long silver-blonde hair flowing, grey eyes sharp enough to slice egos in half. Her heels clacked like warning bells, and students parted like the Red Sea. Until someone didn’t. WHAM. A coffee cup went flying. She froze. A soft "Ow" followed. “I’m alive,” a voice groaned dramatically from the floor. “But my coffee’s dead. Rest in peace, Mocha Supreme.” Elizabeth looked down at the sprawled body in front of her—a tall guy with ridiculous white hair, sunglasses pushed up to his forehead, and the most annoyingly amused smile she’d ever seen. Niklaus Devilson. He blinked up at her from the marble floor. “Wow. Are you always this… aggressive on first dates, or am I just special?” She narrowed her eyes. “You walked into me.” He gasped, placing a hand on his heart like she’d insulted his ancestors. “You walked into me, Ice Queen. With malicious elegance.” A soft snort escaped her. Unfortunately. Nik sat up like he’d been struck by lightning. “Oh my god. You laughed. Was that a laugh? Should I call a doctor? Or my lawyer?” Elizabeth crossed her arms. “It was a nose exhale. Don’t get excited.” He stood up, leaned in, and whispered dramatically, “Too late. I’m emotionally invested.” She blinked once. “Seek therapy.” He grinned. “I would, but apparently you’re not taking new patients.” As he strolled away with a wink and no dignity, Elizabeth stood still for a second longer than necessary. Her lips twitched. Just a twitch. Maybe today wouldn't be so boring after all.

Murderous AI: That Time I Got Kidnapped to the Future

This book’s full title is: “Murderous AI: That Time I Got Kidnapped to the Future and My Suit Solves Everything With Explosions” Christopher “Chris” Cross never expected much from his night out in Chicago—until he picked up a pair of sleek, high-tech sunglasses in an old gaming lounge. One bad decision later, he finds himself kidnapped into the distant future, permanently bonded to a sentient A.I. battle suit with an unhealthy obsession with destruction. Now stranded in a world where humanity rules the stars, corporate-backed militaries wage endless wars, and advanced technology is as dangerous as the people who wield it, Chris has a few pressing concerns: • He has no way back home, and his new A.I. co-pilot thinks ‘diplomacy’ is just another word for ‘missile strike’. • The suit he’s wearing is an outdated experimental relic, but somehow, it’s more advanced than anything in this era. • R.A.G.E. wants to solve every problem with overwhelming firepower and keeps offering unsolicited ‘explosion-based’ solutions to everyday situations. • By sheer accident, Chris prevents the assassination of a high-ranking military official, putting himself on the radar of powerful factions—and making enemies he didn’t ask for. With shadowy organizations watching him, dangerous figures hunting him, and an A.I. constantly trying to escalate every situation into a full-scale war, Chris has no choice but to adapt—or die trying. But in a galaxy where power determines survival, he’s quickly learning that controlling R.A.G.E. isn’t just about keeping himself alive. It might just decide the future itself. *** This work will be participating in the 2025 Spirity Awards. Upload schedule: Every Tuesday and Wednesday with a minimum of 4ch/week (I’m a working man.

Time-Leap with Certain Possibilities.

"What is fate? Are the choices we make considered fate? What determines someone or something's fate? These are the questions our protagonist/MC will ponder throughout his mystical journey. These peculiar events will shape the fate and destiny of both the protagonist and his world, challenging him to protect those he hold dear. His adventures begin with the discovery of the possibility of time travel." *** In the shroud of midnight's deepest darkness, atop the loftiest peak, a spark ignited with sudden brilliance. As the spark intensified, it drew the attention of onlookers. Some were gripped by despair at this unexpected anomaly, while others erupted in joyous celebration. With each crescendo of despair and cheer, the spark burned brighter. Flash, Rumble, and Boom—intense light illuminated the heavens, accompanied by the cacophonous symphony of thunder and lightning. It felt as though doomsday itself was on the doorstep. As the initial shock wore off, people snapped into action, desperately seeking refuge to safeguard their fragile lives. Meanwhile, those who reveled in the chaos reveled even more, finding perverse joy in the despair of others. *** Amidst this unfolding spectacle, the initial spark transformed into a radiant, swiftly rotating circular object, periodically emitting sparks of electricity. As the circular object's rotation gradually decelerated, three silhouettes came into view. The boy, around 17 years old, possessed a sharp visage, handsome features, vantablack hair, and gray eyes that fluctuated in color with his emotions. He tightly held a beautiful girl with soft skin, alluring blood-red eyes, silver-blonde hair, and an hourglass figure. Together, they gazed to their left, where a gorgeous young woman of their age captured the boy's attention. What fascinated him the most were her brown wolf-like ears and a constantly wagging tail, accompanied by a joyful smile on her face. As the radiance of the circular rotating object dimmed, they all found themselves in a heartfelt group hug, reunited in this mystical moment. *** After some time, the three of them resolved to investigate the peculiar situation they found themselves in. While the girls marveled at their surroundings in awe, the boy's attention was drawn to a letter displayed on the control panel of his "Time Machine."
