(Trigger warning: Harsh Language, Abuse, Slavery, Excessive Violence, Injustice) The Celestial is a symbol of the divine, a pillar which stretches high into the heavens. It is worshipped for the blessings it brought upon the world; extraordinary power, revolutionary tools, and beings beyond understanding. Bearing its power will not only change your fate, but the fate of the world. Grelt has existed within a struggle for power for over a century. A war between Angels and Demons ravaged the land, but only ended with the alliance between the angels, the hybrids, and the non-unified. The non-unified race did not receive the divine gifts of the celestial, they were not worthy. As beings who were second to the blessing of the Celestial, they have no choice but to bow before the hybrids and angels. It has been a week since the execution of Jacks parents, and he has taken their place as a miner in the small non-unified town of Logos. He is beginning to feel the despair living the rest of his life under the hybrid alliance, and seeks to change the world he was born into.

The journey of a little wild monster becoming the ultimate boss. "Someday, I'll trample the system under my feet and drive those damned players out of my territory."

"Do you believe in a world that defies common sense and reality? A world where humans coexist with spirits?"

In a sprawling metropolis where the lines between reality and illusion blur, Lara Harper begins to notice the cracks in her world. After a string of inexplicable events—time loops, unsettling strangers, and a photograph of herself in a place she’s never been—Lara is thrust into a psychological nightmare. Her once-familiar city seems alive, shifting and pulsating as though it has a will of its own. The photograph, which shouldn’t exist, becomes the key to unraveling the mystery. Within its frame lurks a shadowy figure, growing clearer with each passing moment. Every clue Lara uncovers only deepens her paranoia: an enigmatic neighbor with cryptic warnings, a seemingly kind friend with secrets of his own, and an eerie text message from someone who knows far too much. As Lara delves deeper, she discovers she isn’t the only one trapped in the city’s grasp. Victor, her steady but haunted upstairs neighbor, and Margot, the alluring and enigmatic woman from down the hall, are drawn into the unfolding madness. Together, they uncover fragments of a terrible truth: their reality is a fractured mirror, reflecting something far darker on the other side. But the city isn’t just breaking—it’s hungry. As time and space collapse around her, Lara must confront the figure in the photograph, the twisted nature of her memories, and the possibility that she is both the hunter and the hunted in this surreal nightmare. In Reflections of the Damned, sanity is fragile, trust is fleeting, and every choice inches Lara closer to the truth—or her destruction. Will she shatter the mirror, or will it shatter her?
