A Dream To Remember

The Boy Who Forgot to Dream

Aarav was never the loud one, never the rebellious one. From a very young age, he understood things children weren’t supposed to—things like sacrifice, silence, and the heaviness in his father’s eyes after a long day. He never asked for much. He accepted whatever was given. He loved his parents deeply, especially his father, who was strict but hardworking, a man shaped by his own struggles and expectations. But love, Aarav would learn, is not always kind. His father measured worth in marks and obedience, in comparisons with cousins and classmates, in the kind of achievements that could be spoken of proudly to neighbors. And when Aarav failed to meet those expectations—when he scored average marks or made small mistakes—his father’s words didn’t correct him; they cut him. Harsh, unforgiving, public words. And the deepest wound of all came not from a beating, but from a sentence whispered in shame: “If you don’t study, go wash dishes and repay my money.” Over time, Aarav stopped trying. Then, he stopped speaking. And eventually, he stopped dreaming. Because when every effort is met with criticism, when every step forward is shadowed by comparisons, when even your smallest joys are brushed off as “useless”—you begin to believe that maybe joy was never meant for you. Maybe you’re only here to survive, not to live. The Boy Who Forgot to Dream is a tender, heart-wrenching coming-of-age story that explores the quiet battles children fight behind closed doors. It speaks to every person who’s ever felt unseen, unheard, or never enough. Through Aarav’s lonely journey—from silent obedience to emotional numbness—it asks a painful question: What happens to a child who’s never allowed to fail?

When the moon remembers

Have you ever heard of soulmates? Ever believed in true love?What about werewolves... and what they call their mates?You probably have.So call me stupid for not knowing any of it. Maybe I was ignorant, or maybe a part of me just didn’t want to believe. I thought it was all a myth—soulmates, werewolves, true love. Stories meant to fill the silence. That was before it all came crashing down on me like memories I’d buried deep.It started when Mom and I moved to a small, eerie town called Duskwither. I wanted a fresh start. A normal life.What I got instead were dreams.Dreams of a silver-haired boy with dark eyes—eyes that felt like they could see right through me. In those dreams, we were in love. So in love it hurt to wake up. I cried without knowing why. My heart ached like it had been broken in another lifetime.And then... I saw him.He was real.Only in this world, he avoided me like I was a disease. He glared whenever another guy looked at me. But he never spoke. Never touched me. Until he did—and everything changed.That one accidental touch made the dreams bleed into reality. My past started coming back in flashes. Flashes of pain, of love, of something ancient and terrible. And then... the threats began.---His POV:She came back to me.After six centuries of silence, she came back—on her own.But she doesn’t remember.I do. I remember everything. Every promise whispered under moonlight. Every kiss. Every betrayal. Every time I failed her. When they killed her to hurt me.Her forgetting? That’s my punishment.Because if she remembers, she dies.They’re already hunting her. The same ones who killed her before. This time, I won't lose her. Even if it means hiding the truth. Even if it means keeping her by my side—forever.

One Dream A Thousand Universes

Have you ever felt that a 'dream' is far too vivid to be mere imagination? As if you were truly 'there,' experiencing the life of 'someone else' in a different world... 'Zen' is an ordinary young man who has lived with these surreal experiences his entire life. But when the 'Echoes' from the other side of his dreams grow clearer and more powerful, he begins to realize... this is no longer just a dream. It is the 'Resonance' of spiritual waves. Every 'self' in each universe he touches has a life and feelings of their own; it's just that their 'soul waves' align with Zen's in a strange way, like a radio tuned to the perfect frequency. This allows him to 'perceive' and 'connect' with their experiences, memories, and even their powers. From a watcher in unfamiliar worlds to discovering a dormant power, and the truth that all life in the multiverse may be connected through these invisible 'waves'. "One Dream, A Thousand Universes" is the journey of a young man awakened from the world he once knew to confront the secrets of the multiverse—a story of combat, magic, advanced technology, and the very meaning of 'life' reflected through the mysterious waves of Resonance. If you've ever felt that "this world might not be our only one," or have questioned the 'reality' you perceive... perhaps Zen's story is an echo from your own universe as well. Come, journey with him and find the answers... in a world where every dream, and every 'wave' you feel, may hold more meaning than you could ever imagine. Note: This story was originally written in Thai and lovingly translated into English by the author himself. While some expressions may differ slightly from standard English, every line carries the author’s intent and emotion as closely as possible.

When The Heart Remembers

What if two people entered your life... One makes your heart race, as if your souls have known each other for a thousand years. The other walks silently by your side, shielding you from the storm, never saying much, but never once leaving. …Then who is the one that truly loves you? In hazy dreams beneath the moonlight and rustling bamboo, Bach Lan sees herself running through a sea of fire and hears someone call her by a name long forgotten by time: “Little Bach.” A voice so familiar, gentle, and distant, as if from a past life. Yet when she wakes, that gaze, that feeling, still makes her heart tremble. In the present, she is just an ordinary girl starting a new job, living a quiet life in the city. But since the day she met those two men, her inner world began to crack. One is warm and gentle. The other, distant and cold, but silently protective. Memories she never lived. Emotions she never named. And truths long buried in the spiral of reincarnation... Love, resentment, and fate are they born from the heart’s will, or simply the wheel of destiny turning once more? A story woven between reality and dreams. A love that transcends time itself, just to discover: Who is the one that truly awakens your heart?
