This story is historical fiction with a touch of magic. Viking raids began in the late 8th century, particularly in the Western Isles and the Northern Isles of what is now Scotland and with attacks on monasteries and coastal towns in what is now Ireland. This story follows Deirdre O Cleirigh, a young girl in the idyllic village of Ulster, who dreams of adventure and heroism beyond her modest upbringing. Growing up in a land threatened by Viking invaders, her childhood is shaped by tales of courage and resilience passed down through generations. As the Vikings attack, Deirdre's spirit emboldens throughout her turbulent youth; compelled by the need to protect her family and home, she becomes a skilled warrior. As the siege intensifies, she gathers a coalition of warriors and citizens, inspiring them with her unwavering resolve and leadership. The turning point comes when Deirdre realizes that victory can only be achieved through the unity of all the people of Ulster—not just her warriors. Rallying the citizens, she empowers them to join the fight, tapping into their shared heritage and strength. Together, with the aid of local druids and her innate tactical skills, they craft a counter-offensive strategy to reclaim their city and their country. In a climactic battle, Deirdre leads her forces against the Viking stronghold, demonstrating courage, tactical acumen, and the power of community. Despite heavy sacrifices, the united front of citizens and warriors overwhelms the Vikings, forcing them into retreat. As the dust settles, Deirdre stands as a triumphant leader—heart heavy with the cost of victory but filled with hope for the future. Through her journey, Deirdre transforms from a frightened girl into a revered leader, fostering a new order in Ulster dedicated to fairness and resilience. The story highlights themes of unity, sacrifice, and the strength found in community, establishing a foundation for lasting peace and the flourishing of Ulster under her leadership.

In the electric chaos of Osaka, Japan—a place where even the pigeons look like they’ve seen some things—there lived a dude. Just a dude. Not a legendary hero, not the chosen one with a mysterious scar, not even the final boss in a Persona game. Just your average absurdly good-looking, outrageously kind, “didn’t skip the side quests” type of guy. His name? Adam. Yeah, just Adam. No tragic past, no secret lineage. He didn’t train under a waterfall or fuse with a magical beast or whatever. He was just... absurdly nice. So nice it was honestly a little concerning.

Title: Kasarinlan Note: This is a fantasy story infused with Philippine history, set in an alternate world. Tagline: "Freedom, Unity, Peace, The three symbols a nation needs to fight against foreign oppression. But what happens when those who embody and deliver these qualities clash in their methods and beliefs on how to protect the nation they are meant to safeguard?" Plot: For over 500 years, the powerful nation of Spain has colonized the Philippines, treating it as one of its colonies. Due to countless failures and defeats of Filipino heroes and revolutionaries, the people gradually lost the courage to reclaim their homeland from the colonizers. With hope fading, Filipinos eventually surrendered and accepted Spanish rule over their nation. Over the centuries, Spanish governance grew increasingly cruel toward the country's citizens, dividing Filipino society into two classes: Honorary Spaniards or "Hilaw" (as the Spanish call them): These are Filipinos who abandoned their Filipino identity to become "adopted childre ton of Spain" in exchange for certain privileges in the country. Low-Class Citizens or "Indio" (as the Spanish call them): These are Filipinos from poor families, stripped of numerous privileges and rights in their own land. Due to their low social status, they are often oppressed, abused, and unable to defend themselves in any court or legal system in the country.

Japan – National News Broadcast The polished news anchor sat upright, her gaze sharp as she adjusted the stack of papers before her. The newsroom behind her hummed with quiet urgency, the weight of the moment settling over the broadcast. "Authorities are baffled by a sudden and unexplained surge in sleep-related deaths across Japan," she began, her voice steady yet tense. "More and more citizens are passing away in their sleep without any prior health concerns. Experts are working tirelessly to determine the cause, but no clear explanation has emerged. Authorities urge the public to remain vigilant and report any unusual symptoms before bedtime." A graphic appeared, displaying the spike in fatalities over the past month. Behind her, unsettling photographs flickered across the screen—blurred images of individuals found in their beds, their faces frozen in expressions of terror. The anchor’s tone shifted. "Health officials recommend citizens avoid excessive fatigue and maintain healthy sleep habits. More updates will follow as investigations continue." --- United States – Paranormal Podcast In a dimly lit podcast studio, the host leaned forward, his eyes wide with curiosity. Across from him, a rugged man in a worn flannel shirt, gripping a faded photograph in one hand and a beer can in the other, leaned back in his chair. "So, you're telling me you saw this creature firsthand?" the host asked, clearly intrigued. The man scoffed, shaking his head. "Damn right, I did. Ugly thing had wings bigger than my body—slow but sneaky. Thought it could steal my pigs again, but I was ready this time—camera in one hand, shotgun in the other." He slammed the table for emphasis, then shoved the blurry image toward the host. The photograph depicted a small, red-skinned humanoid figure with large, bat-like wings, its eyes glowing faintly in the darkness. "Spit, the thing didn’t know what hit it when I fired!" the man chuckled, his voice full of excitement. The host held up the picture to the live chat. "Alright, what do you think? Mothman? Demon? Or is our friend here just seeing things?" The chat exploded with theories—some skeptical, others eager for the investigation to continue. --- China – Liangyuan Street Market Surveillance footage from a bustling night market in China captured a chilling scene. A woman in a red qipao walked gracefully through the crowd, her figure striking in the soft glow of lanterns. Suddenly, she paused. Her body flickered—like a glitch in a video—before vanishing completely, as though she had never existed. The footage zoomed in, replaying in slow motion. In the final frame before she disappeared, her face distorted unnaturally, her eyes hollow and empty. The screen cut abruptly to black.

In the heart of the galaxy stands the Galactic Federation, a decaying alliance of twelve major star systems built on the ruins of an old ideal: unity. Corruption, class division, and shadow warfare now define its core, and nowhere is this more visible than in Star City — the Federation’s crown jewel, and its most unequal society. When Kuzon Kai, a dirt-born farmhand from Earth’s Dustbelt, arrives in Star City chasing a better life, he’s quickly denied even basic dignity. Stripped of status and marked as a second-class citizen for being Earthborn, Kuzon is forced into Tier 3 — the city’s lawless industrial underbelly. There, power belongs not to governments, but to four criminal mafia families who run drugs, weapons, and labor markets with corporate efficiency. With no future, no allies, and barely a place to sleep, Kuzon scrapes by in a grimy tavern run by those too desperate to leave and too dangerous to defy. But as he descends deeper into the city’s rot, he begins to uncover a power vacuum, a brewing rebellion, and the unspoken truth: The galaxy remembers names — just not kindly.

The sky over Karvess was the color of rust. Thick, swirling dust clouds hung low over the scrap fields, coating everything in a layer of fine, red powder. Jagged heaps of broken metal stretched as far as the eye could see, the discarded bones of an age long past. Somewhere in the middle of it all, a boy named Grant sat atop a gutted transport hull, staring up at the vastness above. "Same old sky," he muttered, running a hand through his dirty blond hair. "Same old nothing." It had been six years since he'd been left to fend for himself, abandoned in this wasteland of shattered starships and forgotten tech. Six years of scraping by, salvaging parts to trade for food, dodging scavengers meaner and hungrier than he was. But today was different. Today, his life would change forever. A sharp hum filled the air, making the fine hairs on the back of his neck stand up. His hands, buried in the exposed circuitry of a wrecked cockpit, tingled as the old display flickered to life. Then, a voice spoke. -System activated- Hello, user. I am the Star Navigator System. I am at your service. Grant froze. His heart hammered against his ribs. This wasn’t just any old ship AI. Star Navigators were rumored to be relics of the Pre-Imperial Era, capable of piloting ships faster and smarter than any modern system. This... this could be his way out. "Star Navigator System?" Grant echoed, his voice barely above a whisper. Then, a slow grin spread across his face. "Huh, maybe I can get into the Academy with this... Or even, create an army!" The screen pulsed with light, scanning him, assessing. Somewhere in its code, something shifted, acknowledging him as its new pilot. And just like that, Grant's future stretched wide before him—wider than the skies, wider than the stars themselves.

The clock ticked ominously in the dimly lit apartment, shadows stretching across the walls like dark tendrils. Jane's hands shook as she picked up her phone, her heart pounding in her chest.
