The Spiral Staircase

In a reality governed not by gods or governments, but by hidden “Paths” of power buried deep within the psyche, six prodigious minds awaken across six fractured worlds. Each is a genius. Each is broken. Each is bound to a different truth. From cybernetic underworlds and holy empires to collapsing warzones and mirror dreamscapes, a Spiral turns—quietly, violently, endlessly. What begins as isolated crises in parallel worlds becomes a singular war for the fate of all existence, orchestrated by unseen architects and ancient mechanisms that feed on choice, guilt, and transformation. Every Path grants power. Every step warps the soul. And to reach the Spiral’s end, they must either master themselves—or lose everything to themselves. Their ideologies will clash. Their bonds will twist. And one among them will rewrite the meaning of power, identity, and truth itself.

Shujaa Mkubwa's Dying Sun Empire has overstayed its welcome by a century or two. In every corner of Ihlok Vartul's four continents, people are holding onto life, gods, and spirits as they try to avoid being crushed by the weight of industry, political corruption, and realpolitik. In this, the unremarkable Basic have it worst, skittering between the thundering boots of magic and blessing. Young Fortus Ngubane is just about ready to quit.

She thought she was free. Until a billionaire and his daughter saw her — and decided she was theirs. One wanted a wife. The other wanted a mother. Neither asked if she agreed. They watched her for two years. Followed her every move. Until one day, they flew across the world and bought her future — with smiles, paperwork, and charm that smelled like roses but felt like chains. Now, she sleeps in silk sheets she didn’t choose. Wears clothes she didn’t buy. Answers to a name she didn’t earn. Every touch is a test. Every night is a transaction. And every whispered “I love you” is a warning. She hides pills beneath her tongue. She dreams of running. But there is no escape — only a cage made of wealth, obsession, and unbearable intimacy. Because he doesn’t just want her body. He wants her compliance. Her mind. Her loyalty. Her womb. And when the daughter discovers the truth — she doesn’t cry. She accuses. Now the doors are locked. The smiles are gone. And the only thing more terrifying than being watched… is being needed. This isn’t love. This is possession with a wedding ring. This is family, twisted into obsession. This is what happens when a girl becomes the answer to someone else's madness.

"Your world is about to change." A voice whispered to me. I turned around but everywhere was dark and I couldn't make anything or anyone out. "Who is there?" I called out into the darkness. "I'm a friend Arin, no need to be frightened." The soft voice called out to me. "What do you want with me?" I questioned, my senses on high alert as I could feel the person moving around me in circles. "I don't want anything from you. I'm here to help you." The woman revealed and my brows furrowed in confusion. "Help me?" I asked. Arin is an omega born into the Bloodfang Pack, a role she’s long accepted but never fully embraced. Growing up with her best friend Siena, who dreams of becoming Luna, Arin has always been overlooked and dismissed by those around her, especially the Alpha’s sons, the triplets Kael, Jaxon, and Rowan. However, on her 18th birthday, everything shifts when Arin learns that her mate bond has been forged with one of the triplets. The triplets, each with their own distinct personalities and goals, are drawn into a tangled web of competition, love, and duty. Arin’s bond shifts between them, causing tension and uncertainty within the Pack. But Arin’s journey takes an unexpected turn when she learns of her true heritage: she is the descendant of an ancient royal bloodline, and her powers are linked to the Moonwell, the Pack’s most sacred and powerful source of life. As the Moonwell begins to fade, Arin’s destiny is revealed. Only she can restore the Moonwell and save the Pack, but doing so means losing her mate bond forever. The battle for the Pack’s future escalates when a betrayal leads to a civil war, and one of the triplets sacrifices himself to protect Arin and restore balance. With the Pack’s survival hanging by a thread, Arin must face the harsh reality of her choices and what it means to lead.

Yet his destiny is bound to an ancient mystery hidden deep within the roots of the Tree of Life—and to the name of a woman he can never truly forget: Rinoa Alfrenzo. Rinoa, the heiress of House Alfrenzo from the Gaia nation, harbors a secret that even the gods cannot unravel. Her very existence bears witness to the world’s forgotten history, serving as a bridge between past and future, and as the key to a spiral of memories that refuse to be buried. As great powers—humans, angels, and void entities—clash to seize control over the roots of reality, Fitran and Rinoa find themselves caught in an endless war of meaning, betrayal, and the search for the origin of love and identity. Throughout his journey, Fitran faces immortal beings, ancient sorcerers, and god-forged machines created to seal away humanity’s sins. He navigates labyrinths built on incomplete logic, challenges the power of the Gödelian Curse, and traverses the ruins of the ancient machine city to awaken the world’s last hope: Deus Ex Machina. Meanwhile, Rinoa battles the curse of memory, hunted by Earth, Gaia, and entities from beyond—all in order to protect the fragments of names threatened with erasure from history. Yet the deeper they descend into the spiral of remembrance, the more they realize that memories and wounds are two sides of the same truth. Their love is tested by sacrifice, betrayal, and eternal loss. In the climactic battle against the Voidwright—the entity that rejects all meaning—Fitran and Rinoa must choose: accept oblivion as the end, or rewrite the world’s meaning with the ink of their own memory. As the roots of the Tree of Life crack and the gods intervene, the final question emerges: Can love endure in a world where even one’s own name cannot be remembered? Memory of Heaven is a dark fantasy epic about meaning, loss, and memory—a tale where every remembrance might be the key to heaven, or the beginning of everlasting ruin.

We live in a universe far vaster than comprehension—a realm that shatters the very laws of physics. In this boundless cosmos, the speed of light is a laughable constraint, irrelevant against the infinite scale of reality. Here, higher-dimensional beings lurk in unseen layers, their presence unraveling entire civilizations. Ancient primordials reign supreme, shaping existence itself with forces beyond mortal understanding. Logic crumbles. Reason falters. This is a reality where realms stretch endlessly, infinite in mass and scope, where existence and non-existence coexist, both endlessly vast… and terrifyingly real. Lavos, a lone wanderer adrift in the folds of reality, ventures through this incomprehensible world—driven by echoes of a forgotten past. With no memory of who he once was, he traverses realms where time coils in paradoxes and dimensions bleed into each other. Each step draws him closer to forbidden truths buried beneath layers of existence. He is more than he appears—an anomaly fated to either unravel the cosmos or become one with its madness. In his search for identity, Lavos will awaken forces ancient and eternal... and the universe might never be the same.
