Mayan Studio

Tiga hari. Itulah seberapa dekat aku dengan pernikahan bersama Alistair, pria yang kucintai selama enam tahun, pria yang nyawanya telah kuselamatkan dengan darahku yang langka. Aku sedang mengagumi mutiara terakhir pada gaun pengantinku, gaun yang telah kucurahkan jiwaku ke dalamnya, ketika dia menelepon. Pernikahan? Batal. Dia akan menikahi saudari tiriku, Ivy. Keinginan terakhirnya, katanya. Enam bulan untuk hidup, mungkin kurang. Yang lebih menyebalkan? Dia bahkan sudah mengambil gaun pengantinku dari studioku untuknya. Begitu saja, enam tahun, tak terhitung transfusi darah, impian bersama kami – semua dibuang begitu saja demi gadis yang telah membuat hidupku seperti neraka sejak kecil. Dia bahkan menawarkanku "kompensasi," seolah masa depanku memiliki label harga. Tapi jika Alistair dan Ivy berpikir aku akan hancur begitu saja, mereka benar-benar meremehkanku. Mereka menginginkan tunanganku? Baiklah. Tapi mereka harus membayar. Pertama, perusahaan mode multi-juta dolar kami, Evening Gala – dibangun dari desainku, visi-ku. Dia menandatangani penyerahannya. Kemudian, satu juta dolar untuk gaun yang dicuri. Dia membayar. Satu juta lagi untuk perhiasan pernikahan yang mereka berani minta aku serahkan untuk Ivy. Cha-ching. Kau pikir mereka akan belajar. Tapi tidak. Proposal mereka berikutnya adalah yang paling menghina: Alistair benar-benar menyarankan bahwa aku harus menunggu saja. Bahwa setelah 'kepergian yang tak terelakkan' dari Ivy dalam beberapa bulan, dia dan aku bisa melanjutkan dari mana kami tinggalkan, mengadakan pernikahan yang bahkan lebih baik. Serius? Cukup sudah. Jika Ivy ingin bermain pengantin dengan hidupku, dia akan merasakan apa yang terjadi ketika kau mendorong seseorang terlalu jauh. Katakanlah saja perayaan di kamar rumah sakitnya melibatkan lebih banyak asap, air, dan teriakan daripada yang dia harapkan, semua berkat hadiah pernikahan kecil dariku. Sekarang mereka tahu aku bukan Hazel yang sama yang bisa mereka injak-injak. Aku punya perusahaanku, setumpuk uang mereka, dan banyak sekali dendam untuk dibalas. Mereka pikir ini sudah berakhir? Permainan balas dendam ini baru saja dimulai. Dan percayalah, aku bermain untuk menang.

Japan – National News Broadcast The polished news anchor sat upright, her gaze sharp as she adjusted the stack of papers before her. The newsroom behind her hummed with quiet urgency, the weight of the moment settling over the broadcast. "Authorities are baffled by a sudden and unexplained surge in sleep-related deaths across Japan," she began, her voice steady yet tense. "More and more citizens are passing away in their sleep without any prior health concerns. Experts are working tirelessly to determine the cause, but no clear explanation has emerged. Authorities urge the public to remain vigilant and report any unusual symptoms before bedtime." A graphic appeared, displaying the spike in fatalities over the past month. Behind her, unsettling photographs flickered across the screen—blurred images of individuals found in their beds, their faces frozen in expressions of terror. The anchor’s tone shifted. "Health officials recommend citizens avoid excessive fatigue and maintain healthy sleep habits. More updates will follow as investigations continue." --- United States – Paranormal Podcast In a dimly lit podcast studio, the host leaned forward, his eyes wide with curiosity. Across from him, a rugged man in a worn flannel shirt, gripping a faded photograph in one hand and a beer can in the other, leaned back in his chair. "So, you're telling me you saw this creature firsthand?" the host asked, clearly intrigued. The man scoffed, shaking his head. "Damn right, I did. Ugly thing had wings bigger than my body—slow but sneaky. Thought it could steal my pigs again, but I was ready this time—camera in one hand, shotgun in the other." He slammed the table for emphasis, then shoved the blurry image toward the host. The photograph depicted a small, red-skinned humanoid figure with large, bat-like wings, its eyes glowing faintly in the darkness. "Spit, the thing didn’t know what hit it when I fired!" the man chuckled, his voice full of excitement. The host held up the picture to the live chat. "Alright, what do you think? Mothman? Demon? Or is our friend here just seeing things?" The chat exploded with theories—some skeptical, others eager for the investigation to continue. --- China – Liangyuan Street Market Surveillance footage from a bustling night market in China captured a chilling scene. A woman in a red qipao walked gracefully through the crowd, her figure striking in the soft glow of lanterns. Suddenly, she paused. Her body flickered—like a glitch in a video—before vanishing completely, as though she had never existed. The footage zoomed in, replaying in slow motion. In the final frame before she disappeared, her face distorted unnaturally, her eyes hollow and empty. The screen cut abruptly to black.

Ken Shimizu had always lived a quiet life. He wasn’t a genius or a failure—just a regular guy with a decent job in an indie game studio, an obsession with ramen, and a library of half-finished Steam games.

Not in a blaze of glory. Not even in a tragic accident. Just a poorly timed heart attack while stress-testing a buggy horror VR build at 3 a.m. He blinked. And opened his eyes to a new world.

亗 Tower of Sacrifices “This Tower doesn’t test your strength. It tests what you’re willing to become.” One day, the doors opened. No one knew why. No one knew by whom. But 500 were chosen—dragged into a Tower that breathes like a god, shifts like a dream, and feeds on hope. Among them: A father. A daughter. And a promise made at the front door: “Stay close to me.” Each floor redefines what it means to survive. A plunge into water with creatures lurking below. A silent scream beneath falling lava. A hallway where your number means your death. “Just pray that we survive…” But the Tower is not just a test. It’s an altar. And every altar demands sacrifice. At the Fifth Floor, the gods descend— Not to rule. Not to save. But to play. “You have successfully passed the first floor.” “More sacrifices are coming.” They are not above us. They are trapped with us. Bound by the will of the Ten Great Gods, these lesser deities form twisted pacts with mortals. Because in this Tower, humans are nothing without gods—and gods are nothing without humans. Together, they climb. Together, they suffer. Together… they become something else. “Are we slaves?” “Or maybe animals are better than them sometimes.” This is not a game. It’s a ritual with no exit. 亗 Tower of Sacrifices is a dark fantasy about survival, control, and godhood at the edge of sanity.

In a world teetering on the precipice of annihilation, where the veil between realities is tearing, the hallowed halls of Umbría, a hidden academy of magic, become the unlikely crucible for Earth’s last stand. What begins as a battle against a fallen mentor, Nyx, and her Chaos Dragon, Poimandres, spirals into a desperate war against cosmic horrors and ancient deceptions that have shaped human history for millennia. Young mage Aria, struggling with her own volatile powers, finds herself at the heart of this maelstrom. Guided by the enigmatic, ageless Merlín, she and her allies – including the brooding vampire prince Drácula, whose own cursed evolution unleashes terrifying new abilities, and a team of scientists clinging to the fringe theories of the disappeared Jacobo Grinberg – must confront an awakening Cthulhu from the depths of the Caribbean. Their only hope seems to lie in a desperate alliance forged in Cancún, a powerful and dangerous energy vortex. But Cthulhu is not their only foe. The Netlin, majestic and terrifying fallen angels led by the Supreme Commander Amitiel, issue an ultimatum: submit to their absolute Order or be purged. Yet, a horrifying truth is unveiled – Amitiel is Cthulhu's own "brother," and their Luciferin Netlin faction has been allied with the Primeval One since the ancient Lyra Wars, orchestrating chaos under the guise of divine intervention. As ancient alien races – Reptilians, Greys, and Insectoids – resurface to battle their former cosmic masters, the Anunnaki Enki reveals a staggering secret: humanity itself was genetically engineered by his race, our true potential locked away in dormant DNA, our history manipulated by figures like Porfirio Díaz acting under alien influence. Even Earth’s most powerful secret society, the Thirteen Families, are revealed to be mere servants of Enlil, Enki's ruthless Anunnaki brother, whose own hidden city, Ki'Gal, lies deep within a mythical Hollow Earth. From the deserts of Chihuahua where Mayan shamans guard timeless secrets and the perilous "Zone of Silence," to the lost history of Lilith and her tragic celestial lover, and the revelation of Poimandres as the Universal Mind that once inspired Hermes Trismegistus, Aria and her companions are thrust into a multi-layered conflict. They must navigate treacherous alliances, awaken humanity's forgotten power, and confront the truth of their "Forgotten Genesis." With the planet's very consciousness, Gaia, stirring, and an army of earth spirits, the Aluxes, fighting in subterranean realms, the battle for Earth becomes a war for the fundamental structure of reality – The Lattice. Aria, now recognized as a "reborn soul" targeted by the cosmic tyrants, must master her evolving magic and embrace a destiny that could save humanity or shatter existence itself. Will they unlock the secrets of the silenced genome and the ancient Lattice before Cthulhu and Amitiel impose their silent, ordered void upon the universe? The echoes of a forgotten past hold the key to a future that may never dawn.

Just a whisper online: “The game that remembers.” With no login ID, no setup screen, and no price tag, Michael is pulled into something deeper than VR—an artificial world that feels as old as memory and as cruel as reality. But Veilborn doesn’t treat him like a player. It treats him like something else—something that was never supposed to exist.

It’s a world that tests what you are. And somewhere within it lies a power that remembers him. Even though he has no idea why.
