The Curse of Ogamba

Born into a world that despises her, Fanta has spent her entire life as an outcast—mocked, feared, and isolated in the village of Ogamba. With sapphire eyes that glow under the moonlight, hair that cascades like liquid violet, the color of her lips like fresh raspberry, and a presence too striking to be ignored, she is seen as an omen of misfortune. Her only solace is her mother’s love and the hidden stories she devours from forbidden books, dreaming of a life beyond the cruel world she knows. When she is accused of witchcraft and cast out of the only home she knows, and separated from the only person that accepted her, fate intervenes in the form of Mike—a photographer from a distant land. Rescuing her from certain doom, he unknowingly sets them both on a treacherous path of survival through the uncharted wilderness. Mike, a former model photographer turned nature documenter, is captivated by Fanta’s ethereal beauty and unbreakable spirit. As they evade bloodthirsty warriors, treacherous landscapes, and wild beasts, a different kind of danger emerges—one neither of them is prepared for. Fanta, who has never known admiration or tenderness beyond her mother, finds herself drawn to this fearless stranger. His touch sends unfamiliar sensations through her, his gaze makes her heart race, and the way he speaks of a world beyond her own fills her with longing. For Mike, the greatest peril isn’t the dangers of the jungle—it’s Fanta herself. She is unlike any woman he has ever met, and the more time he spends with her, the more he finds himself falling. But Fanta holds secrets of her own, ones that could change everything. With enemies closing in and an attraction that neither can resist, they must fight to survive. But as their bond deepens, so does the mystery surrounding Fanta. Who—or what—is she really? And if they make it out alive… will she ever be able to leave her past behind?

Dreamwalker: Reign of the Heavenly Sovereign!

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.

Branded as unprofessional and possibly cursed, he loses his prestigious position and watches as clients rapidly disappear. But the haunting doesn't end with those wedding photos. In his darkroom, chemicals move of their own accord. Faces form in developing trays. Whispers emerge from the shadows: *"You see what others cannot. You capture what should remain hidden."* Desperate for work, Yingchuan accepts a strange commission—five times his usual rate to photograph an abandoned psychiatric institute in the dead of night. The assignment pulls him deeper into a world where his camera lens serves as a bridge between dimensions, revealing entities and realities invisible to the human eye. As he navigates decrepit corridors and rooms marked with warnings to "Never Reincarnate," Yingchuan discovers his unique ability is both gift and curse. Something has noticed him. Something is following him. And with each photograph he takes, the boundary between his world and theirs grows thinner. *Dimensional Lensman* blends supernatural horror with metaphysical mystery, following one man's journey through the viewfinder into realms beyond normal perception.
