Swallow It All Hermione

The Cube That Swallowed Stars

Ha-eun, a jaded physics student drowning in debt and familial guilt, stumbles upon an antique shop that shouldn’t exist. There, she buys a mysterious cube—a relic that hums with the resonance of dead stars. Ignoring the owner’s cryptic warning (“Some truths dissolve the soul”), she touches it… and is torn into a liminal hell between dimensions. Trapped in a realm where time fractures, Ha-eun witnesses agonizing echoes of her life: her mother pleading with police, her father weeping at a makeshift shrine, and versions of herself thriving in happier timelines. But this purgatory is no passive prison. Hostile entities, born from swallowed civilizations and lost travelers, hunt her. To survive, she fights, adapts… and mutates. Millennia pass. Her skin hardens into a galaxy-veined carapace. Her hair bleaches white as forgotten constellations. The cube’s power sustains her, but each transformation erases another memory—her childhood, her name, the sound of her brother’s laugh. When she discovers other trapped souls, including a charming, half-mad alien warrior and a spectral version of the antique dealer himself, Ha-eun faces an impossible choice: Escape by damning another to take her place. Or ascend as the cube’s eternal guardian—a cosmic deity stripped of everything human. But as she uncovers the cube’s true purpose—a device forged to devour dying universes—Ha-eun realizes her survival could doom countless realities. Including her own.

the beginning of all

In a richly woven tapestry of diverse mythologies, where ancient gods and fearsome monsters roam, a young boy embarks on a journey that will forever alter the course of his life and the world around him. His appearance, as depicted on the cover of my novel, hints at his enigmatic nature—an unmistakable aura of curiosity and adventurous spirit radiates from him. As he traverses varied landscapes, from the mist-clad mountains of Greek folklore to the lush jungles echoing with the legends of Hindu deities, he unravels the mysteries embedded in each mythology he encounters. However, the most intriguing aspect of this tale is undoubtedly the boy himself—a puzzle waiting to be solved. Who is this boy venturing across realms teeming with mythical creatures and captivating lore? What fuels his insatiable desire to uncover the world's secrets? As he delves deeper into these ancient legends, he seeks not only external discoveries but also the truth about himself—a truth that may remain hidden even from his own understanding. Throughout the narrative, readers will encounter a rich blend of mythology, including but not limited to Greek, Norse, Egyptian, Hindu, and Native American tales, as well as many lesser-known legends from cultures around the globe. Yet, as I strive for inclusivity, I am aware that there may still be mythologies and creatures that I may overlook. If there are any mythological elements or cultures you feel should be represented, please share your thoughts, and I will gladly incorporate them into this expanding universe. I invite you to delve into my novel, where every page promises adventure, revelation, and the chance to explore the wonders of both the external world and the innermost secrets of the boy at its heart. Your feedback and suggestions will be invaluable as I refine this journey, so I welcome your thoughts and insights. Thank you for considering this adventure, and I look forward to embarking on it together!
