Artemis Torrent

polar day and polar night

Lu Chen, once the youngest Paladin Commander of the holy city Dawnsplendor, is exiled to the Dark Abyss Borderlands after his sacred light-fire power violently and inexplicably mutates during a ritual, severely injuring his comrade Adrian. Stripped of his rank and the emblem of his order, he arrives at the desolate, frozen wasteland known as the Everfrost Wastes via a rail-disc. Stepping onto a vast, eerie frozen lake illuminated by ghostly blue ice, Lu Chen is immediately attacked by predatory Shadowspawn. In desperation, he unleashes his now-unstable, destructive pale flames, killing some but attracting more. As one nearly kills him, the attack is abruptly halted. Tang Xiao, the enigmatic Keeper of the Wastes, appears. With terrifying power, he instantly **freezes the attacking Shadowspawn and even Lu Chen's chaotic light-fire mid-eruption**, creating frozen sculptures of light and shadow. Tang Xiao is utterly cold and dismissive, viewing Lu Chen only as noisy "Light Realm scum." He commands Lu Chen to extinguish his unstable flame and offers him only one "choice": walk into the deadly Shatterbone Rift** to be devoured by its horrors. As Tang Xiao issues his cruel ultimatum, a violent tremor rocks the cavern. A massive fissure erupts with magma nearby. Tang Xiao reacts instantly, revealing his true power: he unleashes a torrent of deep blue, darkness-tinged cold to battle the molten heat, ultimately sealing the fissure with a colossal, cracking ice dome. This effort costs him dearly. The exertion partially dislodges Tang Xiao's hood, revealing a horrifying secret: half his face is covered in obsidian-black, lifeless "stone"** – Shadow Etching, a corruption caused by wielding extreme cold against elemental forces. Worse, he uses his own ice power to form living blue ice seals crawling on his skin, desperately holding the corruption at bay. He reveals this is the price he paid trying to stop a disaster in his homeland, Cinderkeep, and blames the Light Realm's "holy flames" for starting the world's elemental imbalance. Exhausted and in agony from the effort and his spreading corruption, Tang Xiao turns his icy, murderous gaze back on Lu Chen. Declaring that Lu Chen's remaining "spark" of light-fire will be used to reinforce his "ice coffin" sealing the magma, Tang Xiao summons his deadly cold power again, this time with clear lethal intent against the exiled paladin.

Echo Border

On the war-torn fringes of the world, the only guideposts are echoes of emotion. Samira possesses a rare and dangerous gift: she can perceive *Echoes*—the intangible imprints left behind by lingering emotions, memories, and unresolved obsessions haunting the world. This ability saved her amidst the chaos of war, yet it also marked her as an outcast in the refugee camp where she sought shelter. When her young brother, Karim—her only family—was lost during their desperate flight, a shattered Samira grasped a faint, achingly familiar cry within the tumultuous *Echo Realm*: the sound of her brother's terror. Karim is alive, but he is in grave danger. His fierce will to survive has inadvertently become a pulsing Echo beacon, guiding Samira towards him. Yet, finding him is perilous. A shadowy organization known as the *Silencers* hunts those like Samira—*Listeners*—viewing their abilities as a threat. Isolated and hunted, Samira encounters *Elias*—a world-weary, fading Listener who understands the peril of the Echoes and the ruthlessness of the Silencers. She is also unexpectedly aided by *Lena*, a pragmatic and kind-hearted volunteer. Lena, initially skeptical of Samira's "delusions," is ultimately moved by her fierce determination. Samira, her cynical mentor Elias, and the grounded Lena form a mismatched yet resolute trio. They must traverse hostile borders, sprawling cities, and corners steeped in painful Echoes, following the trail of Karim's emotional resonance on a harrowing cross-border quest. Samira's gift is their only guide, but each touch of an Echo pushes her closer to the verge of collapse. With the Silencers closing in and Karim's situation growing ever more desperate, Samira must learn to harness her power under Elias's guidance and leverage Lena's real-world resourcefulness to overcome relentless obstacles. Ultimately, she will confront the dark heart of the Silencers and uncover a secret hidden within Karim far more astonishing than she ever imagined. To save her brother, Samira must embrace the full extent of her power, unleashing the torrent of emotion buried deepest within the Echo Realm—a force of destruction and a beacon of redemption.

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?

The Accused Mate

"Mate," my wolf spoke loudly in my mind.  The smell hit me first. A smoky cedarwood, dark and heavy. My body reacted before my head even had a chance to process what was going on, and then I saw him. Alpha Elias Beaumont. He was tall, and handsome. His full dark hair made me feel bald and emerald eyes were sharper than the edge of a knife.  He stole the moment. The rest of the world went into oblivion. He was mine. I took one step closer and he retreated. The earth beneath my feet could have turned to liquid, it was that soft. Elias's face impossible to decipher, his jaw shut tight, his eyes burning with some feeling I had no notion how to classify. My wolf yelped in agony, but I held strong, muzzling my own breath into a level plane, waiting…waiting for him to speak. He felt it just like I did. I moved towards him, but he stopped me with his hand. "Don't," he warned.  And then, his words, individually like a blade, cutting through me. "I, Alpha Elias Beaumont of the Artemis Pack, deny you, Amara Kings, as my mate." ~ For eighteen years, Amara Kings has been nothing more than a ghost—a forgotten heir locked away in secrecy. On the night of her long-awaited debut, she senses her fated mate among the guests. But her dreams of love and freedom shatter when Alpha Elias Beaumont, the man destined to be hers, publicly rejects her and claims her sister, Kamla, instead. Betrayed and heartbroken, Amara swears Kamla will not get away with her deception. But when Kamla is found murdered that same night, all eyes turn to Amara. Branded a jealous killer, she is thrown into a nightmare of torture and humiliation at the hands of the mate who once denied her. But Amara is no ordinary wolf. As darkness rises and buried secrets unravel, she discovers a power within her that could reshape the entire werewolf world—or destroy it. With enemies lurking in the shadows, an obsessed Alpha vying for her heart, and Elias desperate for redemption, Amara must decide: will she seek vengeance, claim her rightful place, or carve a new destiny of her own? The truth was never meant to come to light. But now that it has, the world will never be the same.
