Static Shock Flashback

Book 1 in the planned trilogy The Girl Who Sang to the Engine. In a parallel reality where humanity thrives on Ether-a mysterious energy derived from the alien element Anonium-progress comes at a hidden cost. Unbeknownst to society, their reliance on Ether awakens a cosmic Eldritch machine known only as the Engine, whose cryptic motives remain shrouded in static and whispers. Amid this unraveling world, two high school girls emerge as unlikely players in a cosmic game they don't yet understand. Rachel Harper, captain of her basketball team, discovers she has the ability to manipulate time-but each use leaves behind faint traces of static, distorting her reflection and eroding her sense of self. Her best friend, Emily Voss , foresees fragments of alternate lives-all ending tragically-and fears she's next. Together, they stumble upon clues linking their fates to the Engine, though neither understands why. Haunted P.I.A. agent Elijah Carter arrives in Corwood, Tennessee, tasked with investigating reports of anomalies tied to the town's new reactor. A seasoned tracker with the rare ability to see residual echoes of paranormal events, Elijah quickly realizes he's dealing with something far beyond his usual assignments. Meanwhile, drug lord Dezerea Hernandez floods the streets with Gloom, a substance transforming users into static-ridden husks called Hollows to flush out a threat to humanity. As Rachel grapples with her growing bond to the Engine, she risks losing herself to its cold logic. Meanwhile, Emily battles insomnia and visions of her own deaths, desperate to break free from fate's cruel grip. With the Engine's awakening imminent, humanity stands on the brink of collapse-or rebirth. But can two teenage girls rewrite fate before time runs out?

Interviewer: "Immortal Zhou Li, could you tell us why you created the orthodox methods and forged the twelve righteous paths, condensing twelve talismans to resolve ancient and modern disputes?"

[Genesis System rebooting after 76 years of inactivity.] [Administrator Slot: Vacant.] [New Administrator Confirmed:—] The screen flickers. For a moment, the letters distort—glitching between gold and blood-red. A name appears. [Administrator Confirmed:—Elias Vaughn.] A sharp ringing fills my ears. The name means nothing to me, but the system hesitates. The text wavers, blurring, like it’s… realizing its mistake. Then, the letters dissolve. [Administrator Identity Error.] [Correcting…] [New Administrator Confirmed: Christian Arkwright.] A cold shiver crawls down my spine. I open my eyes, and the world isn’t mine. My breath catches—too soft, too light. My limbs ache, but they feel… small? My fingers curl. Slender. Pale. Delicate. This isn’t my body. The floating screen pulses again, words forming in golden light. [Primary Abilities Bestowed:] Creation Magic Spatial Manipulation Magic? My mind stutters, but before I can process it, another notification flashes. [Warning: You are a Deviant.] [Deviants are to be executed by royal decree.] [Status: In Hiding.] I freeze. No second chances. No learning curve. The moment someone discovers my power, I die. Then, the screen flickers again—this time, the text warps on its own. The golden glow dims, and a final message, faint and fragmented, pushes through. [If you are reading this… you are the last.] My pulse pounds in my ears. A soft static hums in the air. [The world has forgotten me, but you must not forget what I left behind.] [Survive. Learn. And when the time comes… create hope again.] Then—so quiet it’s almost lost in the noise—comes a whisper. “Welcome back, Elias.” A pause. A hesitation. The system flicks as if to correct itself. “…Welcome back, Christian.”

First came an unseen mana infused cosmic wave. Next came the fear and confusion. But the final wave is shock, disbelief and astonishment, for I am coming, and my purpose..., to break logic.

The eruption of a volcano took Kael, an archaeologist, in an instant. Awakening in Aetherion, where magic is real and every being is endowed with powers through a mysterious system, Kael sets out to comprehend reality. With a user guide to a strange system interface and blurred flashbacks, he reluctantly starts flipping around his mind, attempting to assemble all the information needed. Rhea, a fierce warrior from the Fire Continent, soon appears before him; she reluctantly agrees to help him get through Aetherion. As they journey onward, Kael is unlocking ancient powers, and his memories begin to intermingle with the ancient history of the world. Some time afterward, he meets a wise mage, Eldric, who tells him that Aetherion was once whole, a great catastrophe shattered it, and Kael's arrival is no mere chance; he might be the key to restoring balance. With renewed determination, Kael, alongside Rhea and Eldric, seeks the lost shards of Aetherion's power. Meanwhile, dark forces move in the shadows claiming the shards for their sinister purposes. As Kael learns more about his role, he will be forced to make a great decision-embrace his destiny and heal a dangerously fractured world or risk being consumed by the very power he now wields. The path ahead is filled with danger, but one thing is certain: Kael's adventure has begun.

"Can you shift?" His voice was notably softer. I was grateful for it. As best as I could, I shook my head. The lingering dizziness rang through my head again. With another step forward, I let out my millionth whimper of the day. Goddess, I was like a boring yet concerning recording. From my personal experience, anytime someone with more power than you steps towards you, you should run. You should run far, far away as fast as you can. Chances were, they're going to hurt you. They're going to beat the shit out of you and that's honestly the best you should hope for. He stopped his movements, seeming to give me the time I so desperately need. He sighs. I'm probably annoying him. There was less than five feet between us now. He took another cautious step. I bit my cheek as best I could. "It's okay, little one." He took the final step towards me before crouching down. Even crouched down, I still felt so tiny in his presence; especially while I was in my wolf form. He reached his hand out towards me agonizingly slowly. I begged my fears to go away, putting my head down. Maybe if I can't see him, I won't be too scared. I could feel his hand hovering over me, a static-like feeling I'd never felt before letting me know. Finally, his hand touched my back. The static exploded into tingles. I jumped a little at first, the unknown worrying me. But. . . It feels so good. I'd never experienced this before but I never want it to stop. I relax under his touch. He picked up my small form and held me close, the tingles expanding. There was pain as he picked me up but the tingles were distracting me a good amount. "What's happened to you, little one?"

I was just eating during break time when I accidentally choked on my drink and died. When I woke up, I found myself lying in a spacious bed inside a big, fancy room. That’s when I realized I had most likely been reincarnated—just like in the fantasy novels I used to read. At first, I thought I had been reborn as the heroine or maybe the villainess. But no—I had reincarnated as the villain from the most recent novel I read: the Duke of the North. I examined my body, and to my shock, it turned out that the duke was actually a girl?!

When Polaris Winters, the Solar Hero of Wilderness is murdered in front of his two most powerful and loyal followers, it comes as no shock the Adventurer's who killed him meet a most horrific end. However, with their master avenged and humanity seeming growing more displeased, Fog Carne, the Undead Brawler with unmatched strength, and Yaeger, the oldest and most terrifying Battle Tower Guardian Elder, seek a path far less noble than that of their Master and friend. A path steeped in blood, darkness, and vengeance: The Path of the Villain.

A story that will leave you shocked, so don't get too hooked and keep it for time pass

"Ye Chen transmigrated to a fantasy world and realized that he had seven seniors in his clan, and all of them were of stunning beauty. Eldest senior, Empress in Red! Second, Frost Sword Goddess!

"Lugh woke up to find that he had transmigrated to a hundred million years later. Earth was now in the midst of a magical era, where mages were icons of nobility, commanding the energies of the world and unleashing devastating spells. Despite his transmigration, Lugh realized that he was a piece of trash when it came to magic, but just as he was giving up on being a mage, he realized in shock that the world’s magics were written in English! Unimaginable power could be obtained when the incantations are read. Saying Thousandfold Meditation accelerated training by ten thousand times, allowing one to reach the level of Archwizard in a single day. Likewise, saying Super Flame Dragon would conjure a divine dragon of flames that stood ten thousand meters tall, while Billion Thunderbolts would summon dark clouds, with a billion thunderbolts descending upon a target in the blink of an eye. Hence, with this special talent, Lugh became the youngest God of Mystics in the era of magic under a year! "

The elevator stank of burnt wiring and adrenal sweat. Lucas Hayes came to consciousness with his cheek pressed against cold steel, the floor vibrating with the machine's perpetual ascent. A cracked display panel flickered: DAY 9 | SAFETY DURATION 00:03:44. Three warped tones echoed as the system imprinted directly onto his retinas: [Precognitive Matrix Activated] [Sector Transition Imminent] His vision fractured into augmented reality overlays. Bloodshot eyes darted between floating diagnostics: [Destination: Floor 248] Threat Classification: Standard Biohazards (Homo corruptus) x20 Recommended Arsenal: Bladed weapons (76% efficacy) Reward Manifest: Silver Cache (Full eradication required) Lucas gripped the shock-baton strapped to his thigh, its ceramic surface still smeared with luminescent fungal spores from yesterday's skirmish. The elevator's speakers emitted a decaying piano chord as new text scrolled through static: [Destination: Floor 249] Containment Unit: Obsidian Reliquary (SCP-XXXX Variant) Threat Level: White (Placid) His boot tapped rhythm against the floor where Natalie Evans had bled out seven cycles ago. The memory played in crystal clarity - her screams syncing perfectly with the elevator's current pitch-shifted rendition of Clair de Lune. [Destination: Floor 250] Entity Designation: Noctis lamia (Cognitive Hazard Class C)* Survival Probability: 41.2±18% The control panel erupted in fractal patterns as reality glitched. Lucas glimpsed William Carter's skeleton key lodged in the emergency brake slot - the same key that had melted through three layers of Kevlar when its owner died. "Beta protocol. Always beta." He smashed blood-crusted knuckles against the floor selector. The elevator screamed in harmonic resonance as it deviated from its programmed path.

The most mighty of the Known have used the others, and themselves, to create a final sanctuary against that which cannot be understood. The only working defense against the ever-changing is what it cannot be. Something static. The stability of existence. * * * Referred to by the Known as [All], and Firstborn of the [First Foul], Leon Oaken. 'I have Integrated... but what is my Rank? My Skills? The [Status] doesn't even display my Stats...' The boy who was meant to command reality, was revoked of this right. Instead he was forced to wield the idea before existence. 'What is [Null]?' ============================= In a world bound by illusions, he seeks the truth. Among those who inherit might, he forges his own path. And in an existence steeped in stagnation and rot, he dares to bring change. Even if it means becoming what should not be. ============================= *WSA 2025 ENTRY* Hi! I recommend reading until chapter 15. Leon did not reincarnate, transmigrate, or regress. The story follows him since his birth, so I have to establish his character first. And that will take a few chapters, so, the side characters will have more screentime at the beginning.

In The Quiet Embrace, a young man battles deep emotional turmoil while trapped in the shadow of his family’s tragic past. The novel explores themes of loss, trauma, love, and the inescapable consequences of past actions. The story unfolds through two perspectives: that of a grieving son and his mother, Gloria. The son, Ike, is emotionally distant, barely speaking, and withdrawing from the world after the death of his father, Jonah. Gloria, drowning in alcoholism, reminisces about the love story that once defined her life—a love that ultimately led to suffering. Flashbacks reveal Jonah’s past as a gang member who, despite his attempts to leave that life behind, could not escape its grip. His choices eventually lead to his death in a tragic accident, leaving behind a broken family. Gloria, once hopeful for a perfect life, finds herself spiraling into despair, while Ike struggles to find meaning in a home that reminds him only of loss. As the novel progresses, questions arise: Can Ike break free from the cycle of trauma, or will he succumb to the same quiet suffering as his mother? Will Gloria find redemption, or will she continue her self-destruction? The Quiet Embrace is a poignant exploration of how the past clings to the present, shaping destinies in ways no one can predict.
