The year is 2361. Humanity has conquered disease, defied death, and resurrected the past—but not even its brightest minds can explain the strange pulse beneath reality. Caelan Ravenwell sees things no one else does: whispers in his dreams, eyes in the dark, and a world that doesn’t belong to Earth. When he and his twin sister, Claire, receive living “gifts” that defy all science, their lives spiral out of control. Their father, the brilliant and grieving Jack Ravenwell, has secrets buried beneath layers of ambition… and some of them are clawing their way free. Then the Rift opens. Torn from their world, the Ravenwells are cast into **Drakhelm**—a brutal realm of dragons, bloodlines, and war. Here, dragons are more than beasts; they are legacy, power, and death. Taming one grants status beyond kings—but most who try are devoured. Claire bonds with a monster. Caelan with something far worse. What they’ve brought with them from Earth was never meant to be tamed. Bound by blood, hunted by fate, and haunted by a love lost to time, the Ravenwells must survive a world where the strong rule, the weak vanish, and the sky itself has fangs. *A tale of wonder and ruin, memory and monsters. Welcome to Drakhelm.* --- If you like fantasy with Dragons you will like this, if you like Dinosaurs you will also like this. If you love both then welcome to my story!

Cameron Lilith Edwards aka Camie has always been the girl whispered about in the shadowed hallways of Legacy International Academy. To her classmates, she is the descendant of an ancient Aswang bloodline, a practitioner of forbidden magic, and the source of ominous curses that haunt the town. For Camie, these are nothing but cruel and vicious rumors-ones that have poisoned her family's name for generations. Determined to clear her family's reputation and prove the skeptics wrong, Camie forms the 'Misteryo at Hiwaga -a Horror Mystery Club,' a ragtag group of brave souls dedicated to uncovering the truth behind the school's seven hidden mysteries. But not all secrets are meant to be unraveled, and Camie's journey takes a chilling turn when she stumbles upon an ancient curse tying her destiny to the silver-haired stranger who once saved her life. Together, they must navigate a maze of supernatural peril, fight back against malevolent forces, and untangle the threads of love and fate. As Camie edges closer to the truth, she discovers that some mysteries may be better left buried-and that redemption often comes at a harrowing cost. **This story is a work of fiction.

The Tower is a prison. Its prisoner is a dying god. And the sickness that killed it is beginning to leak. Erik Thorne is an accident, a soul from another world, an Anomaly that unravels everything he touches. His friends, the only family he has ever known, are becoming living weapons, twisted by his very existence. To save them, he must lead them into the Tower: a sentient, broken machine that knows him, and responds with hostile, unpredictable logic. Within its walls, truth is a lie and history is more real than the stones beneath their feet. As they climb, they uncover a war older than any kingdom, a war against the endless, silent void waiting at the end of all stories. To save the world, Erik must find a weapon; to save his friends, he must find a cure for himself. But what if the only cure is to be unwritten?

In the fractured realm of Aetherfall, the world teeters on the edge of rebirth or ruin. Ancient spirits stir. Kingdoms bleed. And five souls stand at the heart of it all—each bound by a past they did not choose, and a future they were never promised. Ezekiel Rhea never asked to be cast into this world. Still in his own body, still carrying the weight of who he was, he must navigate a land of spirits, prophecy, and war—where a silent bond with a primordial force begins to unravel not only fate, but himself. Luna Gadriel, born of mortal flesh and celestial blood, is destined for greatness. But divinity comes with a cost, and as war spreads, she must decide if she will become a savior—or another weapon forged by the will of others. Vanessa Van Vokhsina, the fallen vampire princess of a lost kingdom, wanders a world that has no place for her. Hunted, cursed, and alone, she seeks more than vengeance: she seeks a reason to keep living. Hanzel Gelliremo, the child of prophecy, was born to end the War of Times… or begin it anew. Torn between monstrous destinies, his every step risks tipping the balance between hope and extinction. Bartholomeow Tanchiniban, a soldier sworn to the Kingdom of Peace, watches as the ideals he’s sworn to uphold rot from the inside. Plagued by guilt, yet too afraid to resist, his path ends in the hands of the very person who forces him to question everything. Their fates collide across a war-torn land of gods and monsters, where spirit contracts, cursed bloodlines, and forgotten truths weave a tale of rebellion, redemption, and ruin. Not all of them will survive. Not all of them are meant to. But all of them will burn their mark into history.

Rin walks a world that rejects him—its sky too quiet, its people too distant, and his own shadow unfamiliar. He doesn't know why. He only knows this: things break around him. People forget him. Time slips strangely through his fingers. He should’ve vanished long ago. But something keeps dragging him forward. In a land of war, sorcery, and ancient silence, Rin doesn’t seek glory. He barely seeks survival. Yet even the gods seem to watch him too closely… or not at all. This is not a story of a chosen hero. This is the story of someone the world doesn’t understand.

They called me Lu Siyan—the cold CEO, the aloof husband of the villainess in some overused female lead novel. But I wasn’t some extra. I wasn’t here to play along. And no, it’s really not because I got thrown out of the office that I ran off to the slums. I just didn’t feel like bowing to a world that already scripted my failure. With nothing but a borrowed suit and a fake ID, I built a company out of lies, sweat, and caffeine. My first batch of employees? Kidnapped—well, hunted—from a third-rate college using a plastic gun. The principal, oddly impressed, muttered, “At least he’s increasing our employment rate…” The office was a mess, so I made it into a simulator. Literally. I built an “Office Worker Simulator” where chaos reigned and productivity thrived. My empire rose from bugs, bugs, and even more bugs. But it worked. Then one day, I saw her—my old boss from my past life, looking exactly the same. Turns out, she’s my biological mother in this world. The same boss who wrung me dry like a used dishcloth… was my actual mom here. I thought I was just born to suffer. Still, a boss is a boss. And a sponsorship is a sponsorship. So I did what any self-respecting fake CEO would do. I made my mom the chairman of my company. And so begins the tale of the slum CEO, the accidental son, and the world’s first “office simulator tycoon.”

I deleted the first one, because of my scripting was ass. After reading and watching movies, I decided to redo all my stuff. That's about it, I'm (Redacted) and I'm out.

In the far reaches of space, answers are currency—and some truths were buried for a reason. After unearthing fragments of ancient cosmic intelligence—the Hollow Stars—humanity was invited to join the Silver Council, a ruling force of ancient, enigmatic power presiding over a fragile interstellar order of the universe's intelligence species. Their gifts: protection, prosperity, and a place among the stars. Their price: silence, secrecy, and servitude. To maintain this order, the Council tasked its protectors. Enforcers maintain planetary peace. Blades chase lawbreakers across galactic borders and their starlanes. But few ever return the same. Sergeant Pierce Gage, a “Blank” whose mind lacks the spark of humanity, leads the Cloudjumpers—an elite Sword Company unit with a reputation for success and scars to match. His team includes a sharp-tongued Martian engineer, a loyalty-driven AI pilot haunted by human emotion, and soldiers forged in warzones no one talks about anymore. As their missions spiral deeper into the undercurrents of empire, Pierce begins to suspect the Council’s protection may be little more than a gilded cage—and the Hollow Stars might not be dead history, but something still watching. War is coming. Not between species or nations, but between those who know the truth... And those still willing to chase the lie.

In the year 22**, the world is carved between four towering powers — each ruled by steel, satellites, and synthetic control. But beyond their reach lies the wild expanse of Khanor, a vast frontier of wind-blasted grasslands, glacier-capped mountains, and shifting sands — home to the last unregistered people on Earth. The Khanori nomads have survived not through conquest, but through constant movement and sacred memory. Across thirteen tribes, they live by the will of the sky god Tengri, refusing cybernetic control, emotion chips, or AI dominion. They ride biomechanical steeds, wield heartbeat-forged blades, and shelter in high-tech yurts veiled from detection. But something ancient stirs. When a minor tribe is ambushed by the Zhongyan Authority, seers speak of an old legend: If the thirteen tribes unite, the Great Khan shall rise again — and with him, a storm no empire can contain. Powerful leaders emerge. Warlords rise. And hidden in the steppes, a child of forgotten blood walks the edge between tradition and transformation — unaware that his fate may ignite a war between sky and circuit, soul and system. The sky watches. Tengri waits.

Deep beyond the village edge lies a forest that breathes secrets and devours silence. The locals call it the Hush — a living wilderness where missing children echo as whispers in the wind. When Rafi, a runaway haunted by family betrayal, stumbles into the hush’s grasp, he discovers he is not alone. There, he meets the braid girl — a fierce, half-wild survivor who knows how to barter with roots and shadows. Together, they forge an uneasy pact to navigate the forest’s cruel mind games, flesh-twisting guardians, and the unseen force that feeds on fear and memory. But the hush is hungry for more than bodies. It wants stories, secrets, and the fragile hearts that carry them. Each step deeper is a step closer to losing themselves — or becoming something not quite human at all. Children of the Hush: Season 1 is a chilling, mythic dark fantasy about lost youth, survival, and the primal terror that lives just beyond the last safe light. If you stray too far, remember: not all whispers are kind.

The Children of Adam and Eve Genre: Literary Fiction / Prehistoric Biblical Fantasy In a prehistoric world ravaged by chaos and cruelty, Adam and Eve flee the violence of early humanity and discover Eden—an untouched paradise, hidden by dense forests and guarded by mountains. There, they raise six children under a single, absolute rule: no outsiders. Any who enter must die. But as Cain, the eldest son, comes of age, he begins to question his father's laws. Dreaming of a more just and civilized society, Cain challenges Adam’s authority. Their ideological war tears the family apart, culminating in Cain's exile beyond Eden's borders. Three years later, Cain returns with a following—men, women, and children seeking refuge. Against his instincts, Adam allows them in. But peace is fragile. Tensions over leadership, trade, and belief begin to fracture the colony. When a failed assassination attempt nearly kills Cain, his siblings Abel and Aclima rise to defend their brother, plunging Eden into civil war. The war leaves Eden broken. To restore unity, Cain sacrifices Abel—casting him as the villain and exiling him into the wilderness. But years later, whispers of a rising army spread. Led by a mysterious warlord known only as Morningstar, the army marches for Eden. And so begins the great war—between the old world and the new, between blood and belief, between the legacy of paradise and the cost of power. The Children of Adam and Eve is a dark, literary epic that reimagines ancient myth through the lens of family, exile, and the burden of building a world from ruin.
