African Speculative

A haunted river. A grieving town. A detective running out of time. When the peaceful riverside town of Ọ̀yán is shaken by a string of mysterious drownings, Detective Kareem is assigned the one case no one wants. Each victim dies with the same haunting last word: “Ẹ̀nítàn.” What begins as a local investigation soon unravels a buried legend—of a betrayed river spirit, a sacred curse, and ancestral silence that demands to be broken. As Kareem digs deeper, the river begins to whisper his name too. Whispers by the River is a supernatural mystery inspired by African spirituality, where truth is hidden beneath water, and justice comes with a price.

When a mutilated corpse is found by a sacred river in a quiet West African village, a troubled detective teams up with a spiritual elder and a young woman with a mysterious past to uncover a centuries-old curse tied to a drowned river queen—one whose song was silenced, and who now demands the world listen.

"There is an old saying that a person is but a mosaic of memories. But it is not the memories themselves that shape us, rather the choices one chisels from their shattered pieces — even those born in silence, even those carved in pain." "When the World Forgot Itself" is the Main Story and the largest part of the large Universe of Luminastra. It explores the delicate, often fractured nature of identity through a tapestry of fantasy and speculative genres. At its core lies an investigation into how memory — both personal and collective— shapes reality, yet never fully defines it. Instead, it is the conscious act of choosing what to hold onto, what to discard, and what to transform that forms the essence of self. Drawing from dark fantasy’s shadowed realms and epic fantasy’s vast horizons, the story delves into psychological and philosophical questions of existence, trauma, and resilience. It confronts the haunting echoes of forgotten histories and suppressed truths, inviting readers to consider how the past continues to live within us, sometimes as silent burdens, sometimes as sources of hope.

There was a young boy named Diamond who had a younger sister named Aika. They lived with Sofia and Mark, who were their stepmother and stepfather. Diamond and Aika had been found by Sofia and Mark in a dark alley, and they took them in as their children. Although they had developed a strong bond as a stepfamily, the details of their past remained a mystery. It was speculated that their biological families had abandoned them, but in truth, there was a more complicated reason for their evacuation from a dangerous situation. Since their adoption, Sofia and Mark had been curious about the children's unique appearances. Diamond had bright yellow hair and mismatched eyes—yellow on the right and light blue on the left. His eyes had an unusual ability to glow and shine, a trait that ordinary humans do not possess. Aika, on the other hand, had light blue hair and similar eyes, though her colors were reversed. While their distinctive looks attracted curiosity from others, Diamond felt happy in his new family. In reality, he was aware of the reason his original family had abandoned them—a tragedy that had left him traumatized. Despite his fears, he longed for the warmth and love of his new family to last forever. However, the shadow of that past loomed over him, and he stood there, filled with fear, tears, and disbelief as the tragedy he had witnessed unfolded before his very eyes.

When the bronze giant coffin floats in the chaotic lead mercury, and the Pangu stone axe splits open the time cage, the truth of the cocoon killing battle spanning billions of years is revealed in the primordial universe. In the cracks of the Three Ancient Laws, the frozen ancient, the crazy ancient, and the lingering ancient eternal strangulation. The ancient world is like transparent amber, with all things frozen in perfect form, dominating the 'empty skeleton of the ancient' and becoming an empty shell in stillness; In ancient times, it was like a boiling vortex of flesh and blood, with all things undergoing disordered fission. The "Mother of Ten Thousand Transformations" sang a hymn of destruction through the nebula of flesh and blood; In ancient times, like remnants of candles in the wind, the "Fire Council" pieced together a home in the cracks. The Xuan awakened from the bronze giant coffin is the "residue of time" formed by the fusion of Pangu blood and cocoon silk, which can switch between the three ancient forms. He bears the truth: Pangu's opening of the sky was actually cutting towards the 'cocoon of time', and the primordial world was just sand and dust in the cocoon. In the journey of the ancient empty city, the ancient demon cave, and the ancient ruins, Xuan finally faced a choice: to slay the old corpses or refine the laws to rebuild freedom. When the Three Ancient Laws burst out of the body, is it a new cage or truly eternal? This is a prehistoric epic that combines law confrontation, civilized speculation, and individual redemption.
