Fractured

THE SHATTERED REALM: FORGOTTEN ECHOES

WSA 2025 Entry What is a man, if not a vessel of hidden truths and whispered deceptions? Beneath the fragile facade lies a labyrinth of secrets—truths buried so deeply they intertwine with the lies we tell ourselves just to survive another day. The masks we wear may fool the world, but they cannot hide the fractures within. Even those we hold closest, the ones we entrust with our hearts, may be the very hands carving unseen wounds into our souls, feeding them to the monsters lurking in the shadows. He was never meant to uncover it. But when fragments of forgotten identities surface and unseen forces move in the shadows, Aramith is thrust into a web of deception, blood, and a history long buried. Worse still, within him stirs an attribute unlike any other—the strongest, yet the most chaotic. A power that bends to no master, a force that threatens to consume him whole. To wield it is to risk destruction; to reject it is to remain powerless. And yet, power alone does not reveal the truth, for blood tells no lies, flowing only when life is claimed, but even its crimson clarity is no guide to the truth. How does one find what is real when their very existence is a fractured mirror, splintered into shards that reflect only distorted glimpses of an identity lost? Each shard offers the promise of clarity, yet together, they form nothing but ruin. To uncover the truth is to face the darkness, and to risk losing what little remains of the self. For in the end, can a man truly hold a reflection if he no longer knows who—or what—he truly is?

Fractured Hearts

**Synopsis:** Thea has loved Ryder, her childhood best friend, for as long as she can remember, but she buried her feelings to safeguard their unbreakable bond. That bond fractures when Ryder’s cunning and jealous girlfriend perceives Thea as a threat. Determined to eliminate her rival, she weaves a web of lies, exploiting Ryder’s deep-seated loyalty—a trait forged through years with Thea. “I can’t believe Thea would betray you like this.” “Thea’s been pretending all along—she’s manipulative.” she insists, wounding Ryder’s pride and stoking his insecurities. When he wavers, she presses harder: “You’re too kind to see how people use you. I’m protecting you.” Her words erode his trust until he’s convinced Thea has betrayed him. The lie solidifies during a shattering confrontation. “Ryder, p..please listen,” Thea pleads, but he recoils, his voice cold: “You’re nothing to me now.” Her desperate cries—“You’re believing her over me?”—only deepen his resolve. “I don’t want to see your face again..” he snaps, leaving Thea broken and sobbing in the dust. Years later, Thea, now a struggling waitress, faces a cruel twist of fate when Ryder walks into her restaurant, his fiancée—her old rival—at his side. “I told you to stay away.” he sneers. “Ry...Mr. Thompson,” she stammers, “I never thought we’d cross paths again.” His reply cuts deep: “I meant it when I said I never wanted to see you.” Locking eyes, she whispers, “I didn’t mean to hurt you..” but he scoffs, “Hurt? I hate you for what you did to her.” The boy she once knew is gone, replaced by a man consumed by bitterness. As their past unravels, whispers of the truth begin to surface, threatening to expose the rival’s long-buried deception. Will Ryder confront the betrayal he’s clung to for years? Can Thea and Ryder reclaim the bond they lost, or will the lies that tore them apart leave their hearts irreparably fractured? --- This Novel is not translated but an original work written by author Audenzia_16.

The Final Reset

In the sprawling metropolis of Azeron, time is a broken record, a loop of endless resets. Every time Azeron dies, the world rewinds, a cruel cycle he’s endured countless times, remembering every agonizing death, every shattered reality. Yet, this time, something is different. The resets are fracturing, the familiar patterns warping, and Azeron is no longer alone in his torment. He discovers he’s not the first to endure this nightmare. Others have tried to break free, their failures echoing through the fractured timelines. But Azeron is different. His memory, a curse and a key, is unraveling the very fabric of the cycle. He is shifting between seven parallel realities, each a distorted reflection of the world he knows, each a step closer to the terrifying truth. A shadowy entity hunts him across these broken timelines, a predator sensing its prey. Azeron finds allies in the enigmatic Weaver, who weaves the threads of fate, and the Seeker, who deciphers the lost language of the Ancients, the creators of the cycle. They reveal a horrifying truth: the resets are not a prison, but a desperate shield against an ancient darkness, a cosmic horror that slumbers beyond the veil of reality. As Azeron delves deeper, he uncovers a forgotten war, a cataclysm that shattered the world before the resets. He learns that his memory is not a curse, but a weapon, a key to unlocking the secrets of the past and the means to break free. But freedom comes at a devastating price. To escape the cycle, Azeron must confront not only the entity hunting him, but also the very forces that bind reality together. In Reset #000, the first cycle, Azeron faces the ultimate choice: break free and erase everything, including himself, or remain trapped, shielding the world from an unspeakable evil. With time collapsing and realities merging, Azeron must make a sacrifice that will echo through eternity. But even as he breaks the final seal, a chilling whisper lingers: "And so... the last reset begins."
