An Apple Sleep Experiment

Blakely Arcas is a socially dense 15-year-old who hates wasting her energy on unnecessary things. "Why make the bed if I will be getting back into it later on?" "Is it really necessary to spend four years with a bunch of loud, obnoxious teens just to get a piece of paper? How about we cut the time in half? Make it two years instead. More time to sleep". When a new VR MMORPG is released, her best friends make her play it. "What do you mean I can be or do whatever I want in the game?! I want.... I want to be a Panda!" *I do not own the cover; please don't sue me. I will take it down, I swear! *

Despite the conflicts in his past, his monotonous yet eventful life in a small village would soon be warped as he is fated to encounter a Gorgon with silver hair. In lieu of the life Karlos had once known, the differences between the two are disregarded as they set out on journey, churning the past, present, and future. The reason? Humanity is on the brink of a new era. Across the vast world of Chavah, a planet several times larger than Earth, Neuromancers are those who have harnessed Psyche, an innate power accessible to anyone irrespective of background or origin. With the rise of the Industrial Revolution, these two forces collide against the human and gorgon, who journey while unravelling the echoes of desires, fears, and choices that resonate within the intricate expanse of identity. The core of this novel is perspective, so how you decide to perceive this story of freedom?

The Hollowing came like a thief in the dead of the night - silent, merciless, and absolute. It was an event that permanently scarred humanity’s history, stealing along all of the possibility, wonder and hope that this world once had - for it was the year that the spark of wonder had been wretched from existence, the year that magic had died.

Year 3999. 1800 years after the Hollowing, humanity has been pushed to live inside the walls of Domes: monolithic walls, encasing gargantuan swaths of land protected by an ancient being from the era of magic, the Acacia. Yet, the peace that it brought was like a festering wound, throbbing with unresolved mysteries and bringing about feelings of hatred and fear, of that day 1800 years ago when one decided to break an oath.

The meeting of disciple and master. It was at that moment that the goddess of fate began to spin her wheel to weave tales for this forgotten world once more.
