The Place Promised In Our Early Days

When the world ended, Gareth Hargrove wasn’t taken. Everyone else—his wife, his children, his friends—were Integrated. Threaded into a System that swallowed humanity in a single heartbeat. But the code rejected Gareth. Now alone in a glitched, biomechanical wasteland the System calls Nullspace, he’s hunted by broken echoes of the people he loves, haunted by the memory of their last moments, and followed by the only companion the System failed to overwrite: a cat-shaped glitch called Patch. In Place of Echoes is a dark LitRPG/System Apocalypse story blending glitch horror, psychological survival, and emergent system mechanics. It’s about memory, recursion, and what it means to matter in a world that erased you. No chosen ones. No cheat skills. Just a broken man, a broken world, and a System that wants him corrected.

Ethan was destined for everything-love, power, wealth, glory. Instead, he was handed nothing but pain, betrayal, and hatred.

But behind his suffering lies a buried conspiracy-one that stole his future and cursed his life. As he inches closer to the truth, Ethan must confront the shadows that shaped him and twisted his destiny. Can he uncover the forces that condemned him without losing himself in the process? Or will the path to justice twist him into the very thing he once feared becoming: a ruthless force with nothing left to lose?

100 Days In The Stars is a Sci-fi Romance of love, survival, and sacrifice. Liliana defied all odds to chase her dream of becoming an astronaut, despite her parents disapproval. With the support of her three brothers, she finally earns her place on a space mission which turns into a nightmare. A catastrophic failure leaves Liliana and her colleagues stranded in the vast emptiness of space. One by one, they fall , their oxygen dwindling. As the last survivors, Liliana and Andrea cling to each other, finding love amidst the despair. But love alone cannot keep them alive. Plus Mike the villain who survived by stealing oxygen from the crew. With only enough oxygen for one, Andrea makes an unthinkable sacrifice, unaware that salvation is just a few hours away. As Liliana hurtles back to earth, carrying both heartbreak and hope, she must face the truth: some loves are written in the stars, but not all can survive them. For fans of Titanic and Interstellar, my novel 100 Days In The Stars is a gripping tale of passion, fate and the ultimate price of love. I hope to turn this story into a film or drama someday. My dream is to bring these characters to life - the survival, the love, the intensity, the hope, and the sacrifice. I believe it will hit even deeper when experienced on screen. Seeing Liliana and Andrea portrayed by real people on screen would be one of the greatest achievements of my creative journey. Thank you for reading, you're part of something bigger. SwiftConfy

15-year-old Liana is focused on her dreams: finishing school, getting into university, and becoming something great. She’s mature for her age, reserved, and avoids drama. But things get complicated when her childhood friend Zayne suddenly confesses his feelings. He tells her: “You drive me crazy. I think about you more than I should. You make my heart race.” Liana is flattered… and maybe a bit shaken. Because the truth is, she kind of likes him too.

Zayne stays close, always respectful of her decision. But time has a funny way of changing things… Will he wait? Will she still feel the same? And what if someone new shows up before day 2,562?
