The apocalypse is coming. Magic wants to fix it. Science thinks it caused it—and can fix it. * On a pre-apocalyptic Earth, Gwen Aishat Gwen, an AI-enhanced system-bound black woman engineered for logic and precision, is deeply at odds with a returning breed of human sized fairy godmothers. These are otherworldly beings born of ancient belief and chaotic magic. One of these fairies—Abigail Susanna Winthrop Hawthorne a.k.a Mathilda—is old-school and all about glitter, rainbows, and dangerously outdated ideals. Maybe even a little racist. And she really doesn’t understand how a 'Black woman' could hold very much power without “magic” or “faith in superstitions.” They clash! But the survival of humanity may depend on a fusion. Maybe even... a union. And what if the only thing that can truly change the world… is if these two worn-out godmothers stop fighting long enough to understand each other….. and maybe fall in love? --- JUICY THEMES: 1.

Before the genesis of stars, before the cosmic architects like the Presence sketched the first designs of the Multiverse, there existed a primordial divine entity. This being was pure consciousness, an omnipresent witness to the grand tapestry of existence, perceiving all, yet experiencing nothing. It observed the birth of universes, the intricate dance of causality, the very shaping of souls, but it remained detached, an omniscient void. Eons passed in this state of perfect, yet sterile, observation. A profound longing began to stir within this ancient consciousness—a yearning for the visceral reality of mortal experience: joy, sadness, pain, love, anger, the messy, imperfect beauty of choice and consequence. It craved to be less than absolute, to feel the texture of finitude, to taste the bittersweet tang of limitation. Driven by this profound hunger, the divine being reached out across the vast expanse of nascent reality. Its awareness settled upon a singular, serendipitous opportunity: a soul, pure and nascent, destined for reincarnation into a rejected experiment. Project Cadmus, in their relentless pursuit of controlling meta-humanity, had attempted to engineer a perfect clone, a failed iteration of Superman. This particular clone, deemed a genetic anomaly, a vessel too volatile or too flawed for their purposes, was slated for termination, its nascent soul adrift. The divine entity seized the moment, not to possess, but to propose a true, indelible merger. This was a symbiotic fusion between the ancient, boundless cosmic consciousness and the vulnerable, yearning mortal soul. The soul, craving existence, accepted. -------------- This novel will use AI, however I will be going over the novel multiple times to remove any repeats or things that I dont think make sense and rework it. if I miss anything please let me know. also for anyone complaining, trust me you want me to use AI so its at least readable. the novel will be set in the DC universe and you can skip the Auxiliary as its essentially just the synopsis.

Synopsis: "A Thousand Pixes Apart" "A Thousand Pixes Apart" is a poignant journey through the digital connections that shape our real lives, and the bittersweet echoes of past relationships. We meet Jiya, a spirited 19-year-old whose virtual world is as vibrant as her real one is shadowed. In the quiet solitude of a hospital waiting room, a personal tragedy unfolds, leaving her reeling. Her escape comes in the form of a popular MMORPG, where she finds solace and laughter in the unlikely companionship of Vivan, a witty and loyal archer. Their in-game adventures are filled with humorous mishaps—Jiya's accidental healing of a "stressed" NPC yak becoming a running gag—and deep, unspoken affection, hinting at a connection that transcends pixels. Years pass, and life takes Jiya on a new trajectory. Now 25 and a burgeoning model, she's more confident and grounded, her gaming days seemingly behind her. A road trip to Manali with her friends Rajiv, Hemali, and Prasad is meant to be a fresh start, a journey toward new experiences. However, a sudden car breakdown on a remote mountain road brings an unexpected encounter. Rescued by two businessmen, Abhijeet and his silent partner, Vivan, Jiya finds herself in the same car with the man who once shared her pixelated dreams. As they travel, casual conversation slowly peels back layers of the past. Vivan, now a successful garage owner, shares his journey of overcoming adversity, unknowingly echoing sentiments and aspirations he once shared with Jiya in their online world. Subtle hints—Manali being a shared dream, Vivan's past as a gamer, and the unspoken recognition in his gaze—build a quiet tension. Jiya, initially oblivious, slowly begins to piece together the fragments of memory. The climax arrives when Vivan, prompted by Hemali, reveals his name, his eyes locking onto Jiya's.

What happens when an idol, renowned as "Prince Visual," is thrust into a marriage with the actual Prince of his country? **Disclaimer:** All establishments, terms, events, and characters featured in this story are entirely fictitious and crafted solely for the sake of entertainment. The story may contain sensitive topics. Royalty is often perceived as synonymous with perfection; however, the facade shatters behind closed doors. The Royal Family Wang, hailed as one of the most unproblematic influential families in the world, maintains its prestige primarily through curated features and polished articles. In truth, their legacy harbors secrets and bitter feuds—once revealed, could incinerate their esteemed reputation. Present at the center is King Wang Jae-Hwan, who, in a bid to secure his lineage’s claim to the throne, chose to marry into an influential Noble family. Beneath the polished exterior, however, lay deep-seated secrets. Although he professed love for his wife, loyalty was a luxury he couldn't afford; he betrayed her on their wedding night, resulting in the birth of a son. Wang Jae-Yul, unaware of his royal heritage, led a life filled with hardship and isolation. The king eventually discovered Jae-Yul, yet the Queen enforced her control that stifled any ambition or desire for power within Jae-Yul, effectively destroying any inclination to fight for the throne. In contrast, the life of an idol is similarly punctuated by high expectations and relentless pressure. The group LUMINA stands as a testament to perseverance, having been meticulously crafted from the ground up by its manager and visionary CEO, Han Eui-Jun. While the competitive landscape in the entertainment industry usually swallows its participants whole, LUMINA carved out a niche and rose to fame, bolstered primarily by its members' impressive backgrounds. Yet, the group’s most formidable asset was none other than the radiant visual and face of LUMINA, dubbed "Prince Visual," Lee Ha-Neul. His captivating charisma and talent created an undeniable draw, securing LUMINA's place in the industry. But the tale unfolds beyond mere struggles and bittersweet endings, as two individuals, who have devoted everything to the pursuit of success, find themselves entwined in a destiny marked by conflict and unexpected encounters. Jae-Yul's life changed when he lost his mother. She, having lived under the shadow of the Queen, made a solemn vow to protect Jae-Yul from the painful truth of his noble lineage, a choice that plunged them both into hardship and concealment. It was only after her untimely death that she unveiled her secrets, leaving behind a letter that detailed everything. Initially consumed with thoughts of revenge against the royal family, Jae-Yul soon realized that his desire would be futile against such powerful enemies. Jae-Yul began to rebuild his life, and through continuous struggle, he found himself standing before the king to reveal the truth. The king, realizing the Queen's influence, employed sufficient pressure on her until she reluctantly agreed to accept Jae-Yul. However, she imposed a strict condition: no one must know of his existence prior to this revelation. Fast forward 8 years, in an unexpected turn, Jae-Yul entered Ha-Neul's life and proposed to him through his influence. However, once engaged, he neglected Ha-Neul for 4 years, which made Ha-Neul end the engagement publicly. Faced with the reality that he could no longer manipulate Ha-Neul's feelings, Jae-Yul now had to figure out how to win him back. Would he resort to deception or intimidation, emotional manipulation, or find it within himself to genuinely love? The question loomed large: what would it take for Ha-Neul to be persuaded to marry Jae-Yul once again?

In the warmth of affection, she found joy; in the sting of reality, she found growth. Love, she realized, isn’t just about happy endings; it’s about the lessons, the longing, and the moments that shape who we become. This story is dedicated to my hopeless romantic friend, Yala.

Silent Hearts" is a heart-touching story of two girls, Zara and Nora whose bond is stronger than words.

When friendship speaks through actions, and silence becomes the loudest cry, how far will they go to protect the world they’ve built around each other? A tale filled with bittersweet moments, raw emotions, and the quiet beauty of growing up — Silent Hearts is a story that will linger long after the last word.
