But There'S Something

Something That Is Nothing

In a future where humanity stretches its reach to the stars, Vacem, a seasoned astronaut, embarks on a critical mission aboard the Lunar Explorer 7 (LE-7) alongside his crew: Michel, Luis, and Loterro. Their objective: to investigate a colossal megastructure discovered buried deep within the moon and the alarming reports of anomalous activity at its core. Data from the Planetary Defense Agency reveals that the moon's orbit has subtly, yet significantly, shifted, already causing bizarre environmental disruptions on Earth. Their mission, however, descends into cosmic horror. A sudden, inexplicable gravitational anomaly emanating from the moon's core rips the LE-7 apart, killing Vacem’s entire crew in a terrifying, chaotic explosion. Vacem is the sole survivor, but the impact leaves him unconscious. He awakens not to the familiar, cold vacuum of space, but to a reality far more terrifying than any nightmare. He finds himself in a grotesque, alien world where the very ground is a pulsating, putrid flesh, squelching beneath his feet. The sky above is a swirling vortex of sickening colors, from which emerge colossal, hole-ridden tentacles that writhe and undulate, dripping viscous fluids and assaulting his mind. Stripped of his equipment and alone, Vacem must navigate this living, breathing nightmare. He endures constant atmospheric eruptions of foul, red slime, crosses a river of thick, flowing blood spanned by bone-like, tooth-shaped rocks, and fights for survival against terrifying indigenous creatures, including the aggressive, three-meter tall Flesh Stalkers made entirely of rotting, viscous meat. As he pushes deeper into this impossible world, Vacem’s sanity frays. He begins to experience unsettling phenomena, culminating in a harrowing encounter with a formless entity of absolute blackness. This anomaly communicates not through words, but by bombarding his mind with a torrent of incomprehensible whispers and raw, unfiltered information, pushing him to the brink of madness. "Something That Is Nothing" is a descent into cosmic and psychological horror, exploring the ultimate insignificance of humanity against a backdrop of unimaginable, unspeakable alien realities. Vacem's desperate struggle for survival is not just against the physical dangers of this world, but against the insidious erosion of his own mind, as he grapples with the terrifying question: what is this place, and what does it want with him? Something That Is Nothing is one of the POLYGENESIS Series. If you wish, you can read other POLYGENESIS series

NOTHING BUT A LIE

Sera Devlin has spent years building walls around her heart, haunted by a past filled with betrayal and silence. She doesn't believe in love—not the real kind—and certainly not the kind that comes out of nowhere on a stormy night. Then she meets Elias Granger—charming, composed, and dangerously unreadable. Their connection is immediate and undeniable, but Sera quickly realizes that Elias is hiding something. Something dark. Something that could shatter her all over again. The closer she gets to him, the more tangled she becomes in a web of lies, secrets, and a truth that someone is willing to kill to protect. Every word from Elias feels like a puzzle. Every kiss hides a warning. But when the truth finally rises to the surface, Sera will have to choose: walk away from the only man who ever made her feel alive—or stay and risk losing herself completely. Because in a world where nothing is as it seems… love might be the biggest lie of all. Sera Devlin doesn't trust easily—not after her sister vanished without a trace three years ago and the world moved on like she never existed. The police called it a runaway. Sera calls it a lie. Now, haunted by the past and fueled by unanswered questions, Sera leads a quiet, guarded life—until Elias Granger crashes into her world like a storm. Mysterious, confident, and far too charming for his own good, Elias seems to know more about her sister than he should. Drawn to him against her better judgment, Sera finds herself tangled in a web of secrets, lies, and dangerous truths. As she digs deeper, she uncovers shocking connections—between Elias, her sister’s disappearance, and a darkness that’s been hiding in plain sight. Every answer brings her closer to the truth. Every kiss brings her closer to the edge. And in a world built on deception, the biggest threat to her heart… might be the only man she wants to trust. Because sometimes, love is the deadliest lie of all.

Slowly But Quickly I Became Something Untouchable

Max is a failure. He carries the weight of numerous illnesses, and academics were never his strong suit. His eyes scan the pages, but his mind fails to absorb a single word. He’s not book-smart, but he does possess common sense. He understands sarcasm better than most. He has never been the “good boy,” nor has he ever been a bully. That’s just how his life has always been—somewhere in the middle, undefined, unnoticed. He doesn’t know whether his power was given to him or if it was always a part of him. But with it, he begins to uncover secrets from beyond his world. At first, he doesn’t want to know everything—he’s hesitant. But slowly, curiosity takes over. He wants to know more. He’s not incredibly smart, but he understands one thing clearly: nothing in this world happens without a reason. Maybe he’s lazy. Maybe he just wants an easy life. Yet, deep inside, he dreams. He wants to turn his imagination into reality—just like every person does. Author’s Note: This is my first book—but not my first story. Some parts of it might feel familiar, maybe even inspired by stories you've already read. And honestly, that wouldn’t be wrong. After all, I grew up reading those very stories—I’m a fan of those novels too. Please don’t expect this to be perfect. I’m writing this mostly for myself—about 75% of it is just for fun. If you find it interesting, feel free to read along. If not, no worries. Just one request: Don’t let this story stop. Every time I post here, it’s a piece of my world.
