Dimensional Lensman: The Photographer Who Broke Through

When award-winning photographer Su Yingchuan captures a mysterious figure in a series of wedding photos—a woman in ancient clothing who shouldn't be there—his flourishing career crumbles overnight. Branded as unprofessional and possibly cursed, he loses his prestigious position and watches as clients rapidly disappear. But the haunting doesn't end with those wedding photos. In his darkroom, chemicals move of their own accord. Faces form in developing trays. Whispers emerge from the shadows: *"You see what others cannot. You capture what should remain hidden."* Desperate for work, Yingchuan accepts a strange commission—five times his usual rate to photograph an abandoned psychiatric institute in the dead of night. The assignment pulls him deeper into a world where his camera lens serves as a bridge between dimensions, revealing entities and realities invisible to the human eye. As he navigates decrepit corridors and rooms marked with warnings to "Never Reincarnate," Yingchuan discovers his unique ability is both gift and curse. Something has noticed him. Something is following him. And with each photograph he takes, the boundary between his world and theirs grows thinner. *Dimensional Lensman* blends supernatural horror with metaphysical mystery, following one man's journey through the viewfinder into realms beyond normal perception. In a story where film captures more truth than reality itself, Su Yingchuan must determine whether his talent will be his salvation or his undoing as he unravels a century-old mystery that bridges the worlds of the living, the dead, and something else entirely. "Mesmerizing and terrifying... delivers genuine chills while exploring profound questions about perception and reality." — *Paranormal Literature Review*

A Woman Without a Mask

At 28, Clara Hayes has mastered the art of wearing masks. To her colleagues, she’s the perpetually cheerful graphic designer who never misses a deadline. To her overbearing mother, she’s the dutiful daughter hiding her anxiety behind polished smiles. To the world, she’s a woman who “has it all together”—except she’s crumbling inside. Clara’s life unravels during a corporate presentation where a panic attack strips her façade raw. Humiliated and exhausted, she flees to a quiet coastal town, renting a cottage owned by an eccentric, free-spirited potter named Marisol. There, Clara stumbles upon a dusty journal in the attic, its pages filled with haunting sketches and anonymous confessions from a woman who once lived there decades earlier. The entries mirror Clara’s own suffocating duality: “I paint myself in colors the world approves of, but my soul is a grayscale.” As Clara tentatively befriends Marisol and a reclusive widower, Eli, who runs the town’s crumbling bookstore, she begins confronting the lies she’s told herself for years. Through their unconventional guidance—and the journal’s cryptic wisdom—she starts shedding her masks one by one. But vulnerability comes at a cost: her corporate career teeters, her mother’s disapproval intensifies, and a buried trauma from her teenage years resurfaces, threatening to drown her newfound courage. When Clara’s raw, unfiltered artwork—created in secret—goes viral, she faces a choice: return to the safety of her old illusions or step into the terrifying freedom of living unapologetically. But the journal hides a final secret, linking Clara’s journey to the cottage’s mysterious past, forcing her to question whether true authenticity is a rebellion… or a homecoming.

The World That Broke

"Ordinary, My Ass!" Look, I didn’t ask to be dropped into a parallel world. But if I had to end up somewhere, at least I got the wife of my dreams. Hot, smoking, and somehow willing to put up with me? I was living the life. Sure, I was just some ordinary guy with no powers, no fame, and no drama. Did I care? Not really. Then I found out my firstborn kid was the protagonist of a novel I used to write back in my old world. Yeah, the one with all the dangerous monsters, overpowered hunters, and a world-ending plotline. Oh, and that mysterious aura stuff? Turns out it’s real. And guess who doesn’t have any? Now, the hunters are eyeing me, the monsters are smelling me, and my wife is way too chill about it all. Me? I’m definitely screwed. Being ordinary sounded fine—until I found out how much of a death sentence it actually was. “I am sorry, Reynard,” said the wife. Okay… she might not be chill at all. The world used to be round. And then it broke. What remained were fragments—floating islands, shattered continents, and ruins of a once-thriving civilization that defied the passage of time. The world was divided: the Claimed Lands, where order and remnants of humanity clung to life, and the Forbidden Regions, chaotic and wild, teeming with danger and untamed power. Between these fractured realms stood the hunters—protectors of the fragile peace and scavengers of a world long lost. They faced the monstrous, the mysterious, and the forbidden, carving out a semblance of hope amidst the chaos. Reynard Bright was no hunter. He was no hero. He was simply a man—ordinary in every way, or so he believed. But in a world as unpredictable as this, even the most unremarkable lives can hide extraordinary truths. As Reynard struggles to find his place in this broken world, he discovers unsettling secrets—about his family, his past, and himself. And when the shadows of his own creations begin to emerge, Reynard is faced with a question he cannot ignore: Was he truly as ordinary as he thought? Or was he bound to play a greater role in the story of this fractured existence? In a world teetering on the edge of survival, even the smallest ripple can reshape destiny. Note: Rewrite.
