Totk Desert Temple

Synopsis: The Shattered Seal As Sylas delves deeper into the Trial’s labyrinthine challenges, he discovers fragments of a forgotten war—a conflict waged by godlike beings whose actions reshaped the world. Each victory in the Trial grants him power, but it also reveals haunting visions of a great seal, created to imprison an unspeakable force. In one of the most suspenseful moments, Sylas stumbles upon a temple hidden within the jungle, its entrance guarded by cryptic statues carved from obsidian. Inside, he finds a room lined with glowing symbols, their light casting eerie shadows. At the center of the room lies a fractured seal, its edges radiating chaotic energy. The whispers in his mind grow louder, their once-guiding tone now filled with panic: “Do not touch it! The seal must hold!” But before Sylas can act, a shadowy figure emerges from the seal’s fragmented core. The being exudes an overwhelming aura of darkness, its form shifting and unstable. It speaks in a voice that reverberates through the temple: “You have come far, mortal… but your meddling has set me free.” The walls tremble as the figure begins to manifest fully, the energy from the broken seal threatening to consume everything around it. Sylas must decide whether to flee and warn others of the seal’s collapse or stand his ground against an ancient force beyond his understanding. As the chapter ends, Sylas raises his sword, the mark on his hand blazing with newfound intensity. He knows this battle is unlike any he has faced before—and losing could mean the end of the world.

Years of searching had yielded nothing, until Asa met Hadar. He happened to notice her uncanny resemblance to Queen Bulsa of the desert kingdom of Kharos, who was currently bedridden and ill. Hadar proposed a deal to Asa: in exchange for her help in finding the one person she had been searching for, Asa would agree to act as the queen while the real Queen Bulsa underwent secret treatment. When Asa laid eyes on Queen Bulsa for the first time, lying unconscious in her bed, she knew. This was the person she had been searching for all along.

In the swirling mists of the Forgotten Vale, where time and fate unravel in shadowed threads, destiny awakens in a harrowing collision of light and darkness. Shadow of Destiny, the evocative prelude to The Obsidian Veil, lures readers into a world of fractured realities, ancient prophecies, and forbidden power. At the pinnacle of the ominous Temple of Hidden Truths, the Oracle Thanatos—once the most gifted seer—wrestles with the chaotic echoes of fractured futures. Within his Chamber of Infinite Reflections, suspended mirrors shimmer with possibilities, yet one vision defies all order: a young man whose fiery eyes blaze with raw, untamed energy, destined to reshape or shatter existence itself. Far from the temple’s ominous spires lies Kyreth’s Rest, a tranquil village oblivious to its looming fate. On the day of the Awakening Ceremony, where youths summon their spiritual echoes to define their destiny, Axen—a misfit burdened by fiery red eyes and self-doubt—steps forward to find only rejection. But his failure births a cataclysmic moment: the Crystal of Awakening shatters, unleashing Havoc, a primal wolf of obsidian and shadow. Together, Axen and Havoc form an unlikely bond, their connection a spark of power older than the stars. As corrupted specters descend on the village, Axen must embrace his newfound strength, battling alongside Havoc to protect those who once doubted him. But this triumph is not without consequence. The villagers recoil from the darkness he wields, and whispers of ancient prophecies hint at a terrible truth: the mark Axen bears is not a symbol of salvation but an omen of chaos. In a tale woven with betrayal and redemption, Axen’s journey will pit him against friends turned foes, test his bond with Havoc, and reveal the chilling cost of wielding forbidden power. When the light of hope falters and the shadows rise, the question remains: will Axen stand as the savior of a broken world—or its destroyer?

‘How did this happen’ The young man, practically a boy, looked at the scene in front of him. In just one glance it was possible to see dozens of people, more closely he was sure there could be hundreds or thousands of people prostrating themselves in front of him. From the center of the city square to the adjacent streets in front of the temple, with a frightening similarity to what happened in the Vatican when the Pope gave a speech. The young man sitting on a throne too big for him, inside a marble temple he could see expressions of happiness, reverence, gratitude and in some a small hint of fear. Not that he paid much attention to the others, his attention was mainly drawn to the group directly below the throne. This group was made up of people of various ages, from old men with gray and wrinkled hair, but with strangely healthy bodies and postures upright like poles, to young people of various ages including children. What this group in particular had in common was their expression, which could only be described as fanatical as they looked at the young man. The only thing that was going on in the young man's head, with all this excessive attention, was simply... ‘How did things get like this?!!!! I was just playing a game!!!!’ In a room in an ordinary apartment, in an ordinary city. A seemingly ordinary young man could be seen lying in bed with a cell phone on his chest. The cell phone was on and showing scenes from what appeared to be a game. With a small and intriguing coincidence that the young man sitting on a huge throne inside a marble temple was completely identical to the sleeping young man. ********************************************** Thanks to ImagineArt for the image

Kind of "classic" short stories greatly inspired by A. Azimov's "Caves of Steel". The colony of Espero lost contact with Earth almost 300 years ago. The unified colonial government collapsed, leaving behind a number of autonomous Cities half-gone underground and surrounded by giant domes. It's cold and relatively deserted, with the simplest things missing and everything constantly breaking down, but even in such harsh conditions there is a place for a thirst for power and the pursuit to overtake one of the greatest human fears.

Synopsis of "Chronicles of Hearts and Horizon" The story begins in a world where magic intertwines with the tangible, and ancient ruins hold the forgotten secrets of past civilizations. "Chronicles of Hearts and Horizon" follows the journey of two unlikely companions—Elara, a skilled treasure hunter, and Alden, a brooding warrior—whose paths cross in a mysterious, enchanted forest, setting them on a dangerous quest to unearth a powerful artifact, the Heartstone, hidden within the ruins of an ancient civilization. Elara is no stranger to danger. Her reputation as a fearless treasure hunter precedes her, known across the lands for her ability to navigate perilous terrains and decipher ancient languages. She is driven by a singular obsession: to find the Heartstone, an artifact said to possess the power to alter the course of history. The artifact, shrouded in mystery, is said to be capable of granting its wielder unimaginable power, but at the cost of one’s soul. The Heartstone is believed to be locked away deep within the ruins of the Temple of Eternity, a place that few have dared to enter, let alone survive. Alden, on the other hand, is a soldier of fortune with a tragic past. Once a knight, he is now a wandering warrior, scarred by the loss of his family during a great war that ravaged his homeland. Haunted by his past and driven by guilt, Alden has grown cold and detached from the world, living only for the present day, seeking solace in his sword and the quiet of the wilderness. His fate intertwines with Elara’s when they both arrive at the outskirts of the Cursed Forest, a dangerous and enchanted place rumored to be the final resting ground of many treasure hunters who perished in search of the Heartstone. The two meet under unlikely circumstances when Elara, scouting the forest for clues, finds herself trapped by a treacherous pitfall. Alden, drawn by her desperate cries for help, rescues her, and though reluctant to share her quest, Elara finds herself needing Alden’s strength and combat skills to navigate the increasingly hostile forest. What begins as a temporary alliance for survival slowly blooms into a deep and complex partnership. As they travel deeper into the forest, their relationship evolves from a purely practical one to a romantic and emotional connection. However, their journey is far from simple. The Cursed Forest is alive, a sentient place that seems to have its own will, shifting paths and conjuring illusions to mislead and trap travelers. Along their way, they encounter strange creatures—both mythical and terrifying—and are faced with riddles and challenges designed to test their resolve. The forest, it seems, has its own secrets and a dark history tied to the Heartstone. As Elara and Alden journey through the temple, the challenges grow more intense, testing not only their physical endurance but also their emotional resilience. The temple’s illusions begin to prey on their deepest fears and regrets, challenging the bond they have formed. The deeper they go into the temple, the more they realize that the Heartstone isn’t just a powerful artifact—it is a sentient being that feeds off of the desires and fears of those who seek it. Elara, still haunted by her parents' mysterious disappearance, is confronted with visions of them—alive but lost to her in a world where the Heartstone’s power can bend time and reality. For a moment, she is tempted to seize the Heartstone to bring her parents back, but she is reminded of the cost: the stone's power would enslave her, slowly draining her essence until she becomes a mere shadow of the person she once was. The forest’s enchantment seems to push her toward this temptation, but her growing connection with Alden acts as a tether, preventing her from falling into the stone's seductive grasp. Alden faces an equally tormenting vision—one where he returns to the battlefield, but this time he does not abandon his family.

Its stones bear markings that defy time and language, its foundations whispering secrets older than civilization itself.
