In a post-apocalyptic world, you'll find four main types of people. Those who fight with all their might are "the hunters." The ones who leech and exploit others are "the pests." The predators, who see everyone as prey. And lastly, we have "the survivors," the resilient ones who never give up. Everyone often fits into one category, but it's hard to determine which one Maya falls into. She's not exactly a fighter, considering leaving her room was a chore even before the apocalypse. A predator? No way—she's always been a pushover. You might think she's a survivor, but that's laughable. She'd rather die from starvation than resort to scavenging. So, how should we categorize her? leeche? Nope. Perhaps a new category is needed: "The Lost"—those struggling to find their place in a shattered world."

(I will be posting on Royal Road from now on since I've heard some bad stuff about this site) Nightmares are an intriguing experience. Many can feel so real you’d swear they weren’t fiction. Every monster, every horror and every fear you’ve ever had can come to life. Many wake up in a cold sweat, convinced that the experience was real. They are then soothed by reality, promised that it was only a dream, a mirage. A fiction. That means they failed. Those who succeed are rewarded with their memory. And so much more. When Jacob manages to survive a particularly realistic nightmare, he ends up being thrust into a world of magic and mayhem. This is the story of how his life transformed from normal into the definition of abnormal.

With each step deeper into the unknown, Mira must confront her darkest fears and unravel clues that pull her further into a conspiracy of otherworldly forces. The shadows offer her glimpses of Lena but warn that saving her will come at a cost—one that may strip Mira of her own humanity. As Mira risks her soul to bring Lena back, she must decide if she’s willing to lose herself to the shadows or if she can find a way to escape their grasp without leaving her sister behind.

Set 1000 years before the prophesied end of Kaliyuga, humanity teeters on the brink of collapse. In a futuristic era where advanced technology rules, society has become a chaotic mix of digital immortality, artificial intelligence, and decaying morals. The world is divided between those living in virtual utopias and the impoverished masses, suffering in the wastelands of reality. The ancient prophecies of Kalki—the tenth and final avatar of Vishnu—have been reduced to myth in this age of machines, dismissed as superstition in a time ruled by logic and code. However, dark forces have awakened, spreading unrest and corruption, subtly pulling the world towards its inevitable end. Amidst the chaos, a group of mysterious sages begins to emerge, keeping alive the ancient teachings, and warning of the impending return of Kalki. At the heart of this prophecy is **Dhruvansh**, a name that signifies both "steadfast" like the pole star (Dhruv) and the inherited "shadow" (ansh) of humanity's darker side. As Dhruvansh uncovers his true identity, he must navigate a world of cybernetic gods, forgotten demons, and a technologically altered humanity, preparing for the ultimate battle between light and darkness. With the clock ticking towards the apocalypse, can he rise to become the savior foretold, or will Kaliyuga spiral into eternal darkness? The end of the world is just the beginning.
