Eternal Dreaming Zen

Two years ago, humanity launched a spacecraft to study the mysterious barrier enclosing the Earth and Sun. The mission ended in disaster. The spacecraft struck the barrier and exploded, leaving behind a crack. Something seeped through. It called itself Zen. As Zen spread across the world, humanity awakened strange powers. Some gained abilities beyond imagination. Others gained only enough strength to survive another day. But Zen wasn't the greatest disaster. People began to vanish. Without warning. Without a trace. The phenomenon became known as the Disappearance Effect. It comes in cycles. Each time it returns, it grows stronger. Each cycle leaves fewer survivors behind. Under a starless sky and in a world racing toward its doom, seventeen-year-old Riven Stirenok struggles to survive. Smart, cunning, and reckless enough to attempt things no sane person would ever consider, Riven repeatedly throws himself into impossible situations just to stay alive. Even he doesn't understand his own mind. Or the strange ability awakening within him. As the world grows stranger with every passing day, hidden truths begin to surface about Zen, the barrier, the disappearances, and the fate awaiting humanity. The end is approaching. [I have finished writing and uploading the first volume "The Apocalypse". So you can read it if you are interested since the first volume itself has separate completeness to it. And I will be active on the platform, will make sure to complete this story which will probably span over multiple volumes. Currently taking a break cuz I got tired(yk the studies and all). Don't worry this is going to be my new hobby. I will keep on writing. Just for fun.] (Also this is not Ai generated, I made this myself, wrote it on paper and then typed it down on Google docs. Well I will be honest about one thing, I did use Ai for correcting grammer and stuff. Like after writing draft of a chapter I will upload it some Ai, then it will give me suggestions on sentence level po

The Billionaire's Fake Girlfriend

"Sign the contract, Ava. Play the part of my perfect woman for six months, and I will wipe out your debt by morning. Refuse, and watch your father’s legacy burn." He is Ethan Alexander Blackwood, the cold, pragmatic "Ice King" CEO of a multi-billion-dollar empire who treats human connection as a dangerous liability. But when a calculated corporate scandal threatens to strip him of his crown, he needs an immediate public shield to protect his throne. She is Ava Grace Carter, a fiercely resilient event planner drowning under a mountain of predatory debt. She loathes everything Ethan’s elite world stands for. But with twenty-one days left before the bank seizes her late father's company, she is forced to sell her freedom to the devil in a tailored suit. The Rules of the Game Were Simple: Never look at each other with real emotion in public. Never ask about the secrets hiding in the dark. Never, under any circumstances, fall in love. But the moment Ava steps into his ultra-elite high society world under the fake arrangement, their transactional walls begin to crack. Deep family secrets reveal their matching fates were never an accident. Someone in the shadows wants them both dead, and the ultimate threat hides behind the faces they trust the most. As the contract lines blur into a dangerous obsession, Ava breaks her ultimate rule. But in a game where devastating betrayal lurks behind every close smile, trusting the Ice King might be the most lethal risk of all.

LOST

LOST Some places are almost the same. Some choices are not. When Sai arrives in the quiet coastal town of Misakiura, he expects nothing more than a brief escape from his ordinary life.

The Crack In Heaven [A LitRPG Progression Fantasy]

In the slums beneath Veston, Kael fled before his mother's body grew cold. No sun. No flowers. No hope. No dreams. Winter and gang lords buried them all. "Pray to the gods and endure for a better tomorrow," his mom said. Why would he pray to the same gods who denied him peace? Who thrust him into this nightmare? No, he'd carve a way to Veston with his own hands, and it started by breaking his promise to his mother for survival. But the job for gang lord Garrick Vane went wrong. He was left for dead with nothing but a ledger salvaged from a submerged temple. But he refused death. "I persist." Two words that awakened a forbidden power, an unlicensed truth anchored to belief and paid for in the warmth of his most precious memories. Now a heretic hunted by priests who burn the unfaithful, Kael discovered the ledger tracked everything: his stress, his anchor, the price he had already paid. Every choice stresses his truth. And if his anchor breaks, he wouldn't just die: he'd become something worse. What to expect: - Analytical main character who thinks his way through problems. - A deep, original system to decipher along with Kael. - A lore-rich worldbuilding with its own religions and epochs to discover. - Truths that aren't free entries on a stat sheet. - No harem Length: 1,600 – 2,000 words per chapter.
