The Illusion of Terror

In the vibrant heart of a bustling city, five friends—Aiden, Ben, Chloe, Danny, and Emily—navigate the complexities of their lives. Each faces their own struggles, from family expectations and personal passions to tumultuous love lives and deep insecurities. They find solace in each other's company. Their lives take a dark turn one stormy night when they gather at Ben's old, creaky house. As they reminisce, a sudden blackout plunges them into darkness, unveiling malevolent spirits that inhabit the house. Each friend encounters horrifying apparitions that reflect their deepest fears. Determined to uncover the source of the hauntings, they split up and face their personal nightmares. Aiden confronts a ghostly figure of his strict father, Ben is chased by a spirit feeding on his passion, Chloe faces a vengeful ghost from her past, Danny encounters a phantom embodying his failures, and Emily is tormented by a specter of her deepest fears. In the chaos, Aiden and Emily discover a hidden diary in the attic, revealing that the house's previous owner, a sorcerer, created the spirits to torment those who entered. The sorcerer, controlling the house from beyond the grave, had trapped the friends in a nightmarish game to feed off their fears and weaknesses. Together, the friends confront the sorcerer in a fierce battle, ultimately overcoming the malevolent spirits. As the illusion shatters, they realize their experiences were not entirely real, but the emotional scars remain. The ordeal leaves them forever changed, having faced their deepest fears and emerged stronger. In the aftermath, they piece together the final clues from the diary and learn that the sorcerer's true intent was to teach them a lesson about their inner strength. The spirits were manifestations of their own fears, manipulated by the sorcerer to help them find their true potential. With newfound clarity, the friends vow to support each other and face life's challenges head-on

Arms of the Ascendant

In the scorched deserts of Etheria, where ancient secrets lie buried beneath relentless sandstorms, a fragile child becomes the unwitting vessel for a cosmic reckoning. Humanity, long ascended into the stars, has brought its hubris to the edges of the universe, eradicating ancient beings known as the Bodhisattvas—a decision thought to have secured their dominance. But the echoes of that atrocity linger, and the universe itself has not forgotten. As two warriors, locked in an endless, brutal war, clash atop a desert dune, their conflict unleashes a chain reaction of unfathomable consequences. A mysterious child, glowing with otherworldly power, becomes the harbinger of a force far older and greater than humanity. The Bodhisattvas, thought to be extinct, awaken within the child, their chorus of voices declaring a judgment not of vengeance, but of cosmic accountability. Above, a colossal ship deploys humanity's deadliest weapon—the Rods of God—only to be obliterated by the child’s newfound power. The message is clear: no act escapes the scrutiny of the cosmos, no crime goes unpunished. As the event is broadcast to Earth, the illusion of control maintained by the global elite begins to unravel, igniting rebellion and forcing humanity to confront its sins. The warring men, stripped of their weapons and pride, must grapple with their role in a cycle of destruction as they are drawn into a reluctant alliance to safeguard the child. Together, they navigate a world turned against them, where the past collides with the future, and where every action has a ripple effect across the fabric of the universe. **Arms of the Ascendant** is a science-fantasy, magical-philosophical thriller that weaves cosmic justice with human frailty, exploring the profound consequences of seemingly small actions. As the Bodhisattvas watch from the stars, one question looms: can humanity earn forgiveness, or will the universe demand its due?

Surviving Terra II: My Journey Through Catastrophes and Nobles

Terra II, a world divided into seven vast 'plates', where endless deserts and ominous black zones carve through the land. It is a place haunted by horrors from beyond existence and nightmares birthed from within. 1635 of the Common Era, an age where the very idea of happiness has been left behind. Here, no story begins with joy, and none end with peace. One mistake—a wrong word, a fleeting gesture—can seal your fate before you even realize it. At the heart of this desolate world is Seraniti Desdemona, a woman whose life has been defined by loss. Her parents, ones she knew little of, were replaced by strangers in the aftermath of tragedy—only to die again, only to be taken care of by 'Elk' leaving her adrift in a cruel and indifferent world. Each day is a test of endurance, battling the Mengaðr that wander the land she walks upon, and the 'visitors' who cross through the 'door', only to die by their own foolishness. In a world so unrelenting, where trust is a fragile illusion and loyalty is a fleeting dream, how long can one endure before breaking? Seraniti fights not because she wants to, but because there is no other choice. Every decision she makes chips away at what remains of her conscious, yet the alternative is worse: surrendering to the darkness that threatens to consume her and everything she holds dear. Terra II offers no promises, only pain—but even in the face of an inevitable end, Seraniti stands, battered and unyielding, daring to face the horrors and make her choice, if only to survive one more day. ----------------------- Don't like strong strong language and all that jazz, THIS AINT FOR YOU!
