Scariest Things In The Ocean

The only condition he asked of her before marriage was for her to be “good’. After marriage, she truly was well-behaved. She sees his gifts but does not react, she knows about his promiscuous relationships but does not ask. She holds no hope of garnering his love and affection, and never once, did she forget to take her Plan B pills. She even complied and signed the divorce papers! With a grim look on his face, he stopped the woman who was about to escape. She grinned sweetly, “Young master Sulliven, don’t forget, we have gotten a divorce, we are completely uninvolved now!” The man shredded the divorce papers and smiled with his teeth clenched, “Ask the bun in your stomach whether or not we are still involved!”

Probability isn’t binary. It’s not a simple yes or no, not a switch flipped on or off. If you can imagine a possibility, however faint, it holds a spark of potential to become real. Consider our Earth: a speck of dust in the cosmic expanse, born from a chance so slim it feels miraculous. Yet, the universe’s vastness—its countless stars, galaxies, and eons—creates a playground where even the tiniest probabilities find room to breathe. The scale of existence turns long shots into realities. Humanity itself proves this. Our existence is a chain of low-probability events, each link forged by fortune. From the first spark of life in primordial oceans to the unlikely survival of early hominids, every step was a gamble. Picture rolling a six-sided die and landing a one not once, not twice, but fifty times in succession in a perfect, unblemished world. The odds defy comprehension, yet here we stand, living proof that the improbable can prevail. Even the most outlandish outcome—say, that same die landing on one a hundred times—has a probability, a mathematical whisper that refuses to be zero. The tale we’re about to unravel unfolds in a world not unlike ours, a place where the dice of chance rolled just right. It's humans, like us, who are products of a cosmic lottery, their existence defying the odds. But this world holds secrets. Forces—perhaps supernatural, perhaps stranger—seem to nudge the scales of chance. These unseen hands weave through the fabric of probability, tilting outcomes in ways that defy logic. This is a story of a reality shaped by luck, persistence, and perhaps something more—a narrative where the improbable isn’t just possible but inevitable.

#Synopsis: ------------------------------------------------------ In the far future the planet earth is full, and thanks to 3 key technologies, genetic manipulation, cryosleep, and advanced space engines, humanity builds deep space spaceships and launch themselves to the unknown confines of space to forge a new future away from home. Follow our young engineer Erik as he starts on his first job at the young age of 60 years old in future earth where humans will live hundreds of years, he will reach an unknown place with his spaceship by accident and to survive he will have no choice but to explore alien structures and hunt dangerous monsters to get stronger, making alliances with the locals in more than friendly terms sometimes. ------------------------------------------------------ The protagonist is a young 60 years old "young" engineer, he's easy-going and a good guy, he's been trained so he will know what he's doing most of the time, in "Chapter 1 - A New Beginning" he will explain more, as a human from the future where bodies are just flesh containers, he's fairly openminded (kinda like "Altered Carbon" from Netflix, but different, you can go one day to a genetic center, pay, and get inside a liquid tank and then, the next time you open your eyes your body has already changed, then you get your ticket and go home just like that, but combat modifications would be regulated). ------------------------------------------------------ Hi, NirvanaPenguin here, suggestions on the story are welcome, this is a book I'm gonna write for fun and to get better at writing in preparation for a story I will start next year. ------------------------------------------------------ Discord: https://discord.gg/WPM7a4Dp4J Reddit: www.reddit.com/user/NirvanaPenguin/ Twitter: @NirvanaPenguin Post a review if you liked the book to help me get exposure, thanks.

The book cover was drawn by myself(not the background though), I will try to make or pay someone to make a cooler one in the future though. ------- Spoiler?: Inspiration for the octopeople. - Asari from Mass Effect. - sea horses. - subnautica all beings reproduce that way.

Cultivation Fantasy | Sea-Linked Power | Underdog Rise Zonaar was born without a flame in a world that runs on it. The Nirith Fire — a blue glow that awakens within chosen hearts — decides who ascends, who cultivates, and who starves. By seventeen, Zonaar had tried every method to ignite it: alchemy, prayer, fasting, pain. But nothing ever worked. Now, he breaks rocks in agolit mines to feed his little sister, while others soar toward the floating immortal realms. But fate shifts when he discovers a sealed relic deep underground — one carrying the divine essence of Orravia, a sea goddess erased from history records. Her power was sealed, her legacy shattered by the Throne Gods. And now… she needs him. From flame-less miner to the key of her vengeance, Zonaar’s path won’t follow tradition. It will rewrite it. Because when the sea chooses its champion, even the heavens must make room. Author’s Note: This is an ocean-based cultivation-inspired fantasy, blending myth and progression. While it draws from Xianxia themes (ascension, divine realms, relics), it uses an original system — Nirith Fire, agolits, and relic-bound destiny — without traditional sects or dantians.

——— I woke up to fingers running gently through my hair. At first, I thought I was dreaming, until the lullaby began. Low. Melodic. But wrong. It was that same language I'd heard through the walls, the one that makes your stomach twist and your teeth clench. She sat on the edge of my bed, I can’t see her face; it’s swallowed by the dark. But her hand keeps moving, slow and rhythmic, stroking my hair like she’s lulling something else to sleep. Her eyes are half-closed, swaying as she hums that twisted tune. And then I realize— I forgot to turn on my bedroom light before falling asleep. I kept my breathing slow and shallow, pretending to sleep. limbs screaming to move, to run, but something in me knows: Don’t let her know you’re awake. Don’t move. The singing stops. She sniffles. A choked, trembling sob leaks through her lips. She starts crying quietly, like she’s trying not to be heard. Like she’s afraid. “No...” she whispers, her voice cracking like a child’s. “He still dreams like a child… still soft…” I almost convince myself she’s sleep-talking— Until her hand suddenly tangles in my hair and pulls. I flinched and let out a sharp gasp. "Mama—!" She goes still. Her grip loosened… then shifts. Her fingers wrapped tightly around my trembling arms. Her face inches closer. I can smell her breath,..warm, wrong, too close. Her eyes are wide with terror. Her voice shakes as she hisses: “Don’t say anything." "Don’t say a word anymore.” I was too scared to speak. I couldn't even nod. She held me like that for a long, shuddering moment. Her breath was hot and ragged against my cheek. Her hands were too tight, like if she lets go, I’ll vanish. Her eyes darting around the room. Then, like a switch flipping, she goes completely still. "Mom?" I whispered, so softly it barely made a sound. She was at eye level with me. But she wasn't looking at me. She looked past me. Behind me.... No... no. It’s happening AGAIN. . This is not a safe novel.

In this intimate blend of haikus, short poems, and razor-sharp reflections, Dem Blake dismantles silence and sculpts emotion with surgical precision. From heartbreak to power, seduction to betrayal, each piece is a glimpse into a mind that feels too deeply and trusts too rarely. This isn’t a book of love poems. It’s a book of control, release, and the soft war between wanting to be known—and refusing to be owned. These are the things he never said out loud. Until now.

Le Silence Au-Delà de Toute Chose” Et s’il existait une présence si fondamentale qu’aucune idée ne puisse la contenir ? Une entité si étrangère que même le concept d’existence ou de non-existence s’effondre à son contact ? Dans un cosmos sculpté par les courants du Réalisme Modal, où chaque pensée donne naissance à un monde réel, les lignées de dieux, les Ordres Taoïstes, et les Gardiens de la Cause s’affrontent dans l’ombre d’un effondrement ontologique imminent. L’équilibre entre les réalités possibles s’effrite, percé par une structure que rien ne semble pouvoir définir, une faille silencieuse dans la logique de tout ce qui fut jamais possible. Anameon, entité muette, source et silence de toute chose, se révèle peu à peu dans les fractures de la narration. Non pas en tant que force, mais en tant que négation de toute structure, dissolvant même la notion de pouvoir. Kaelen, dernier témoin du Tao Divisé, cherche à comprendre ce qu’il ne peut embrasser. Et dans sa quête, il découvre que le monde… n’est peut-être jamais né.
