When a young man wakes up alone, with no memories of who he is or where he comes from. He goes on a journey to discover himself in a world filled with monsters, mysterious and people that messed around with what they should have not. Armor with a sword, knight armor and...a glowing watch?, he travels through dead and destroyed landscapes with the hope to his home...or at least a place he can call home. (This story will be on pause for a while.)

It starts simple: one tries to take control, the other refuses to be contained. But instead of a clean clash, it turns into something slower, sharper. Senka doesn’t like uncertainty—she pushes, tests, forces things into clarity. Moriarty doesn’t resist loudly; he studies, bends, and answers in ways that never fully give her what she wants.

The Librarian Who Accidentally Raised the Seven Calamities In a world where talent is everything, Cael von Reinhart was born a void. No mana, no potential, and most disturbingly—no voice. Abandoned by his father and exiled to the dustiest corners of the Great Duchy’s library, the world saw a useless mute. But they were wrong. Inside Cael’s mind, an ancient lock had clicked open: [The Great Archive of Ruin]. To the world, he is a fragile boy who cannot speak. To the System, he is the only Librarian capable of recording the end of existence. His task? To find and raise seven broken children who are destined to become the villains that destroy the world. "I don’t want to be a hero, and I certainly don't want to be a god," Cael thought, his face a mask of cold indifference. "I just wanted to read in peace." Little did he know, every time he turned a page, the world trembled in fear of the 'Silent Sovereign.'

Unfolding was born out of the author’s two passions—writing and gardening. When her marriage, career, and health all fell apart within a year, she gathered the poems and stories she wrote in the past 15 years. Some of them were imagined and written to help her cope – with life as a young student from the province, a young worker dating, and eventually, as a wife and mother. As she was reading and editing her poetry and prose, she realized her voice as a writer changed over the years. Her understanding of love, loss, and identity started to shift through her experiences. Now living alone, she felt herself opening up like a blossom unfolding. Fully. Unapologetically. Not caring about color nor smell. Just a flower finally greeting the world, before it dies.

Ten years have passed… but the lake never forgot. What happened that day was buried—silenced by fear, guilt, and lies no one dared to speak out loud. The survivors moved on… or at least, they tried to. But every Halloween, the past returns. Names begin to appear. People begin to die. And the truth… begins to surface. 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.

It was supposed to be harmless. A joke. A prank. Something they could all laugh about later. Six friends walked toward the old lake at the edge of town, carrying snacks, secrets… and a plan that should have never existed. Billy trusted them. He trusted her most of all. But the moment the water touched him, everything went wrong. The laughter didn’t last. The screams did. Something beneath the surface answered him—fast, sharp, and hungry. Not one bite. Not one mistake. A swarm. By the time they pulled him out, the lake had already taken its share. And what remained… wasn’t something you could forget. Now the group is left with silence. With guilt. With a truth none of them are willing to speak out loud. Because the real horror isn’t just what was in the water. It’s knowing— Someone planned this. And no one stopped it. Some secrets sink. Others stay with you… long after the blood washes away.

This is not a story about good versus evil. It is a story about what happens when good people stay silent. In a world decaying under greed, corruption, and moral compromise, two brothers are chosen to stand at the center of a celestial war between the god Irah and the demon king Zahar. But divine battles are only a reflection of a deeper truth: Darkness does not win because it is powerful. It wins because people allow it to. Lucian carries both mercy and ruthlessness within him. Hito carries a hope that refuses to be extinguished. Together, they are forced to confront a reality few are willing to face: Light without action is meaningless. Power without integrity is corruption. Hope without courage is illusion. Seven celestial angels defend crumbling nations — yet even heaven cannot save a world that refuses responsibility. Balance is not about harmony. Balance is about choosing to stand up when it would be safer to kneel. When injustice spreads… When corruption feels normal… When silence feels easier… Who are you?

For thousands of years, the government lied, kept us hostage, and sold us unknowingly. Little did we know that these times would be the best for us all. The High-Bloods came through the firmament that veiled us in snow, and conquered everything. They shattered our false freedom, burned flesh from our bones, and feasted on us for sport. They enslaved us to be chained beyond Earth's soil—Hemorion, they call it their home. Now, we are forced into a society ruled by blood, where Kingdoms, slaves, and the deaths of beloved are as common as the light from Helios, one of their deities. Yet, whenever my eyelids close, I still see red—the light of us all stolen ... my brother’s and my own dying. But as my blood is red, my hope burns forever. I will kill them all. Note: this is a rewritten version of my already published first Volume, "Red Eclipse," of "Origins of Blood," and thus will be a revised edition with changes throughout the entire story, including prose, characters, worldbuilding, powersystem, and other elements.

He was a mere cleaner in the midst of world heroes. Nothing more. Burdened with responsibility far beyond his age, Yuin scraped by through multiple jobs. One of which was cleaning after the esteemed heroes and serving as their emotional outlet. Until a sudden malfunction in the hero system opened a new path. A dangerous one. On the day the heroes began their patriotic mission, Yuin was forcibly selected. Not to be a hero, but as one of the hundreds meant to be slaughtered as a display of power by the celestials who imposed the hero system upon the world. They are undefeated, even by the heroes. But Yuin, a mere cleaner, labeled potentialless, seized that dangerous path. And did what no one else could. He killed a celestial. Not one. Two. As an unregistered existence within the system—an error—Yuin became a loophole capable of ending beings beyond the world itself. Yet to those in power, he remains nothing more than a cleaner. He is ignored and overlooked, unaware that he is the very key to defeating the beings they fear most. Now dragged into deadly survival rounds alongside thousands, Yuin fights in places he was meant to die. And there, he climbs the ranks. Like every other, Yuin is granted the privilege to summon players. But unlike the rest, he does not follow the norm. While others summon power, he summons the exceptional. They summon attack players—he summons an alchemist who defies the limits of the world. They summon defenders—he summons a broker, a cunning figure who bends the system’s forbidden laws and deals in what even the system itself does not offer. He is an error. And errors… cannot be controlled.
