Beneath the moss, soil, and decaying wood lies a predictable existence, shielded by the glass walls that define his reality. But when a jagged, glowing rock disrupts the tranquil balance of the terrarium, it brings with it a mysterious and imposing creature—a being from "the beyond" with a chilling message: the terrarium is merely a shell, and the world Rollan knows is breaking. As the intruder challenges the harmony of the small community, Rollan emerges as an unlikely leader, rallying his fellow creatures—ants, beetles, springtails, and spiders—against the creature’s divisive philosophy of domination. Together, they defend their unity against the growing crack in their fragile world, even as it reveals glimpses of something far greater and far more dangerous. When the shell finally shatters, Rollan and his companions are thrust into an infinite, surreal expanse beyond the glass. Facing an enigmatic force of light and the daunting vastness of the "beyond," Rollan must grapple with his newfound role as a guide and protector in a world that dwarfs his understanding.

In a world encased in glass, Rollan, a solitary isopod, believes the terrarium is all there is—a small, predictable world filled with moss, soil, and shadowy comfort. But when a mysterious crack appears, bringing forth a strange and enigmatic creature, Rollan is thrust into a journey that will challenge everything he knows about survival, purpose, and the boundaries of his existence. Guided by the creature, Rollan steps through the crack into a vast, thriving biome—a world teeming with dangers and wonders far beyond his imagination. As he navigates towering plants, flowing streams, and creatures both beautiful and terrifying, Rollan begins to understand the truth: the terrarium was never the entire world, but a shell meant to prepare him for something greater. But freedom comes with trials. Rollan faces predators, treacherous landscapes, and the overwhelming complexity of life outside the glass. As he struggles to adapt, he discovers strength he never knew he had and begins to see himself not as a lone survivor, but as part of a larger, interconnected community. As Rollan learns to lead and guide others emerging from their own “shells,” he comes to understand the role of his enigmatic companion—a guide sent to awaken the courage within. With the creature’s guidance, Rollan grows from a timid inhabitant of a confined world to a courageous pioneer in a boundless one. The Legacy of the Shell is a story of transformation, resilience, and the power of choice. Through Rollan’s journey, it explores themes of freedom, growth through adversity, and the beauty of discovering a purpose greater than oneself. Perfect for readers of all ages, this thought-provoking tale reminds us that the boundaries we see are often the ones we create—and that stepping beyond them is the first step toward true growth.

Stalker Fantasma (English Version) The story blends fantasy and reality, aimed at readers over the age of 16 and containing sensitive content for some. There is horror and delicate themes that the narrative explores. The plot centers around a family with hidden secrets and a teenager named Pablo, who ends up dealing with a stalker. This stalker will lead Pablo to better understand his family’s secrets. It is a story that addresses spirituality, teaching that we are all spirits and that the greatest value in life lies in love and the ability to understand others. The book addresses the diversity of genders and sexual orientations, not limited to the heterosexual standard. It explains that a person's sexuality does not define their spirituality or character, as LGBTQIA+ people can also be loving, virtuous, and spiritually evolved. One of the explanations offered is that homosexuality may be an expression of the sexuality of someone who reincarnates in a body different from their previous gender. This does not mean that the person is "inferior" or "sinful"; it merely represents the diversity of the human experience. The text strongly emphasizes the need to respect and love all people, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Prejudice and discrimination are seen as primitive attitudes and signs of spiritual delay. Furthermore, it is mentioned that some homosexual mediums may have greater ease in connecting with higher spirits due to their sensitivity and affability. An important point is that sexuality does not define a person's spiritual health. Vices, hatred, pride, and arrogance are seen as far more harmful than homosexuality or bisexuality. It is also highlighted that parents should love and accept their LGBTQIA+ children just as they would their heterosexual children, as all are equal in the eyes of God. Pedro Henrique writes this book to show the importance of overcoming societal prejudice and ideologies. Love is the purest essence of happiness; neither time nor distance can break the true meaning of love. The book highlights how important it is to accept others as they feel best, teaches forgiveness, and shows that everyone has their own perspective on life. However, respect is essential. This book is dedicated to the mysteries between life and death, as we often forget that one day we are born and that one day we will leave this plane. I ask you a question: if you had the chance to be born multiple times to correct a mistake, would you do it?

Stories... They are one of the major essences of life -- abundant everywhere, yet barely noticed. Don't believe it? Think... That colleague of yours that recently got fired, do you think of them often? Regardless, their life is a story. The old man you saw while walking down the street, how is he now? You probably don't know, but he has his own story. That acquaintance you've always known to be an orphan? They definitely have a story. Finally, that web novel author whose writing you mocked? They must have quite a few, including their own (you might just be part of one). The difference is that the ones deemed uninteresting and clichéd are not seen, heard or read by outsiders. ------------------------------------------------------------------ This specific story is about a man who thought his life was decent - maybe even better than that with his recent achievements. And it truly might've been if the poor soul went unnoticed by the cruel hands of fate. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Try and read this newbie author's attempt of granting this man a story that would be considered his... and only his.
