Isolation

Tunnel Of The Night

When a sudden quarantine leaves them stranded on an isolated campus, seven brilliant, parentless students of the prestigious Hisar Institute must make an uneasy peace with their situation. Arlt, a Renaissance philology student and gifted linguist, narrates their tale—a story shrouded in secrets as ancient as the campus itself. United by their orphaned pasts and exceptional linguistic abilities, they linger in Suare Kairos, a grim four-story dormitory overshadowed by the silent gaze of the Aeternolis statue. Life in quarantine is quiet until they stumble upon a hidden tunnel beneath the library, a passage rumored to have sheltered professors fleeing the horrific Great Genocide Era. What begins as a curious exploration soon reveals a legacy of betrayal, forbidden knowledge, and concealed atrocities that refuse to remain buried. Inside the tunnel, the students find relics of a forgotten resistance—ancient texts, obscure manuscripts, and encrypted journals that point to a grim legacy the Institute sought to erase. As they decode the cryptic writings, the students are pulled into a web of secrets that threatens to unravel not only the history of their institution but also their very identities. Each discovery comes at a cost, forcing them to confront questions about loyalty, survival, and the fine line between knowledge and power. Bound by a shared past yet divided by dark ambitions, they must decide: how far will they go to preserve the truths they’ve unearthed? And, when knowledge becomes dangerous, is it worth dying—or even killing—for? A tale of mystery, academic rivalry, and haunting secrets, The Scholars of Aeternolis explores the weight of history on those who seek to uncover it and the cost of pursuing forbidden knowledge.

The Silent Blade of Autumn

When the once-prosperous Tang Dynasty collapses into turmoil, warlords rise like shadows across the empire, carving out power with blood and steel. Among them is Lin Jianyu, a young man hardened by a past marred by betrayal. Once the son of a respected official, Jianyu’s family name was destroyed when his father was falsely branded a traitor, his mother succumbing soon after to grief. Now exiled from the world he once knew, Jianyu has become the silent blade—his life shaped by the art of the sword and a single, unyielding purpose: revenge. Guided by his enigmatic mentor, Master Yu Bai, Jianyu learns to strike with restraint, honing himself into a weapon both precise and unforgiving. But when whispers of his family’s betrayer, the ruthless General Wu Ming, resurface, Jianyu’s disciplined silence is shattered. Fate seems to draw him back into the world of politics and power, a world he had sworn to leave behind. As Jianyu descends from his mountain refuge, he faces a kingdom in ruin, alliances shifting like the autumn wind, and a choice that could either redeem his family’s honor or plunge him into a cycle of vengeance that will consume his soul. To clear his family’s name, Jianyu must confront not only Wu Ming but also the question that haunts him: Can revenge ever bring peace, or will it only lead him further down a path of isolation and loss? Set against a backdrop of imperial intrigue and ancient wisdom, The Silent Blade is a journey of self-discovery and sacrifice, where the line between honor and vengeance is as sharp—and as unforgiving—as Jianyu’s own blade.

The King Beyond The Screen

Jamie Wentworth is brilliant, isolated, and tired of living as the forgotten son in a powerful family that sees him only as a tool. He’s a genius who’s saved his father’s empire more times than anyone will admit, yet his intelligence has become his curse, chaining him to a loveless home and a relentless life. When he learns of a phenomenon known as The Simulation—a place where people disappear into an alternate reality of powers, danger, and epic quests—he’s drawn to it like a moth to flame. But the Simulation isn’t what Jamie expected. He enters as “Ghost,” a critically injured figure with no memories, no allies, and a fractured past. Equipped with a mysterious “Deck of Cards” skill, he’s able to toggle between roles—Extra, Villain, and the greyed out Protagonist. Each card grants him a persona with unique powers and risks, but swapping between them exacts a heavy toll on his body and mind. Forced to start as the weakest player in a ruthless prison world, Jamie must use his wits and courage to survive against those who’d see him fail. In this new world, he’ll uncover secrets, make dangerous allies, and unlock powers that will take him far beyond anything he’s known. To survive, Jamie will need to outplay scheming npcs, merciless factions, and his own dark legacy as he unravels the mystery of “Ghost”—and the truth of his own soul. But in the Simulation, there’s one rule above all: If you die here, you die in real life. The deeper he dives, the more he realizes this is his only chance at freedom… and his greatest gamble yet.
