Blossoms of The Forgotten Day

Some memories disappear. Others refuse to be forgotten. Sae's world is ordinary: school, music, quiet days, and the endless cycle of routines that never seem to change. That is, until he meets Haruka, a girl whose gentle smile and unwavering kindness slowly begin to transform the way he sees the world. Together, they share laughter beneath cherry blossoms, melodies that speak louder than words, and moments that feel as though they could last forever. But some stories were never meant to be remembered. As strange events begin to unravel reality itself, Sae finds himself questioning his memories, his heart, and the very existence of the person he cherishes most. Blossoms of the Forgotten Day is a heartfelt psychological romance about love, memory, grief, and the painful beauty of holding on when the world has already let go.

THE FIRST CRADLE - BOOK ONE OF THE IRON CRADLE SAGA

The Sun is dying, and there's no saving this world. Engineering grad student Gavin Daniels volunteers for experimental brain emulation technology--humanity's last chance to gain centuries of research time while only days pass on Earth. But the untested cradle connects him to something ancient: a galaxy-spanning competition called the Ascendancy, where Earth's survival is the prize. The rules are brutal. Earth is unrecognized, unprotected, and legally open for conquest. Win, and the planet gains galactic protection. Every victory captures alien technology to fuel humanity's desperate evacuation. Lose, and everything is forfeit. In a genre built on solo heroes grinding for power, Gavin and Earth's champions choose a different path: reincarnating the souls of Earth's dead as spirit-born warriors, building armies instead of going it alone, forging alliances with alien species, and refusing to treat war as a game. But those overseeing the Ascendancy aren't safeguarding peace--they're filtering threats. Culling potential rivals before they can rise. Can Earth's champions survive alien dinosaurs, and a universe that seems to want to crush them? Our only allies, a race that died on Earth before humanity ever took its first steps... Step into the cradle, champion, and find out. THE FIRST CRADLE - THE SECOND CRADLE - A LITRPG ADVENTURE

Arachnoextinction

On an uncharted island in the middle of the Pacific, Dr. Ivory Gale arrives for a routine inspection of a secret United States government cloning facility. His mission is to verify progress on a project to resurrect the woolly mammoth. Simple job. In and out. What could possibly go wrong? Everything. Literally everything. Dr. Kale, head scientist at the cloning facility and certified lunatic, has been keeping secrets from the United States government. Not the kind of secrets they can all giggle about later. These are the kind of secrets that awaken a long-extinct and highly murderous monstrous spider species. Armed with a gun he doesn't know how to use, a crippling case of arachnophobia, and the help of a ragtag group of survivors (including one who definitely wants to kill them all to protect the government's secrets), Dr. Gale must find a way to escape the facility before nightfall. Because once the sun goes down, the giant spiders come out to hunt. All of them. Welcome to Arachnoextinction.

SideKick | Shit Hero

Working is hard. Being a hero too. Doing both at the same time, for half the pay, is hell. Every day, Arthur wakes up early to sweep the filthy streets of Lumière in exchange for a pittance, zero recognition, and a terrible smell that seeps through his clothes and clings to his body. But when monsters appear and the city needs someone, he’s the one who steps up. Not to defeat them, of course, but because, apparently, no one else wants to clean up the mess that the real heroes leave behind. At the end of the day, his only consolation is heading to the corner diner, where the most beautiful girl he’s ever seen works. There, between a hot sandwich and a shy smile, Arthur almost forgets that he’s the lowest-paid (and most ridiculous) hero in Lumière. What kind of shit hero is this? A.N.: A short story set in the cyberpunk heroes universe of higgscrowl (Radiant).

Or will he just meet strange new alien races, and try to bang them.

The Red Flags of a Serial Killer

Eliot, 22, has only one dream: to be normal. Get his degree, keep his amazing girlfriend, and blend into the crowd. But fate-or maybe that weird priest who performed an exorcism on him when he was eight-has other plans. Because Eliot has a secret he doesn't even know himself: he's a magnet for catastrophes. Not just any catastrophes. Everywhere he goes, "perfect" people tend to suffer fatal accidents-absurd, unlikely, and almost comically timed. A slip on the stairs. A forgotten allergy. A thunderstorm that strikes a little too precisely... The worst part? Eliot is convinced he's cursed. He lives in constant fear of the police and crushed by guilt over his clumsiness. What he doesn't know yet is that Karma has a very particular sense of humor. His "victims" are never innocent. A serial killer disguised as the ideal son-in-law, a neighbor with an unspeakable past, a web celebrity with cult-like tactics... Eliot cleans up the city without meaning to-one fall at a time. Between panic attacks, deadly misunderstandings, and criminal law exams, discover the story of the most incompetent-and the most effective-vigilante in history.

Something is calling from the lake. Not just a memory. Not just a legend. Something alive. Something patient. The whispers grow louder each year—echoing through churches, streets, and dreams. A name repeated over and over like a curse that refuses to fade: Billy. The deeper they look, the clearer it becomes—this isn’t random. This isn’t coincidence. This is something that was never meant to survive. And now… It’s rising. The lake doesn’t just take. It remembers. It marks. It comes back for what it’s owed. And this time— It’s stronger.

Anonymous' Changes: Essence

In the year 2221, the world of Xirod stands under the control of a powerful Federation that lets the government value obedience over individuality. Its citizens are identified by numbers rather than names, while propaganda convinces them that everyone possesses the same “essence.” Beneath the promise of order and prosperity, however, corruption, inequality, environmental destruction, and a failing education system threaten the lives of ordinary people. For years, the speaker accepts this reality as normal—until growing alienation and unanswered questions begin to challenge everything they have been taught to believe. As the contradictions behind the Federation's promises become impossible to ignore, the narrator discovers that silence does not necessarily mean agreement, and obedience does not always mean peace. What begins as one person's quiet awakening gradually inspires others to question the system they once feared. As citizens confront the truth and those entrusted with maintaining order face their own moral dilemmas, Xirod approaches a turning point that could change its future forever. Essence is a dystopian story about identity, freedom, and the courage to question what has long been accepted as truth. Through the transformation of individuals and an entire society, it explores metanoia—a profound change in one's mind and perspective—and asks what it truly means to be human.
