Penumbra Phantasm

Johan thought he knew monotony—long hours at work, nights spent solo gaming. But when he’s summoned to Eosdadalon, a world of magic, his friends are hailed as the Heroes of Prophecy, while Johan is cast aside, deemed unworthy. Stumbling upon the mysterious Sanity System, a power unlike anything the heroes possess, Johan's path veers into the unknown. Meanwhile, the Penumbra—a pitch-black fog consuming everything in its path—creeps across the land, threatening to engulf the world. Outside the prophecy, with no place in its story, Johan must carve out his own path, unlocking the full potential of the Sanity System to help save a world that may never accept him. His journey is no longer about being a hero but about survival. ------------------------------------------------------------------ I'm currently updating In-Sanity System weekly with multiple chapters, but if this story gains more traction, I'll happily update more.

In the shadowed city of Nyx, where ancient mysteries slumber and whispers of dark realms echo through the alleys, the young inspector Elior bears a unique curse: the Mark, a symbol binding him to the realm of Myrmidia—a place where shadows hold power and whispers breed nightmares. Bound by an ancient pact, Elior belongs to the ranks of the "Tethered," those who exist between worlds, capable of wielding Myrmidia's otherworldly forces but forever at risk of losing themselves to the darkness. When a string of strange disappearances stirs the city, Elior finds himself on the trail of a looming, unseen adversary who wields powers disturbingly familiar to his own. Haunted by phantasms and drawn ever closer to Myrmidia’s seductive call, Elior must venture deeper into the city’s mysteries, navigating secrets that lead back to his own ancestors, guardians of the original pact. Yet, the more he uncovers, the closer he drifts to losing his soul entirely to the very shadows he controls. In a world where night-watchers, bell-strikers, and patrolling guardians face unseen horrors each night, Elior must decide: Will he uphold his oath to protect Nyx, or surrender to the vast, untamed powers within himself and become a legend of the shadows he has sworn to contain?

Here is my decent try to limn the tribulations of the eastern woman with a nib pen of the world language. On a non-fictional foundation, this short story sets within a contrived frame of fiction. Whence the heroine “Reidah” serves as an epitome of all downtrodden women in the Arabdom. “The Other Side” hence takes its perfervid readers on a realistic journey to cognize the masked face of humanity. Apart from this, the narrative betokens the inner defective side of the protagonist herself. In short, this novella bespeaks the vehement voice of silenced women on the other side of the world. From the storylines, one bumps into an ingenue, whose name is “Reidah”. As her small family inflicted neglect, abuse, and torture on her; she underwent a recurrent dolor. Ergo, she had to illicitly navigate with her ex-husband’s torn pants to the Capital of Fashion. To secure a decent life for her, she had to change her name to “Angela”. Everything was marvelous until she found herself ensnared in her past and bad luck. Hence, the heroine chose to withstand her phantasm with the help of her psychiatrist by writing. So, will the truth keep the same planned track in the hope to shield the realm of her family?
