Echoes of the Silent Sky
Year 2147. The Sun stops—not dead, not dimmed, but *paused*. Fusion ceases for 11 minutes and 43 seconds every 72 hours. A silence with a pattern. A signal. Astrophysicist Dr. Ella Vayne decodes the sun's tremors and discovers the frequency matches human brain theta waves. Not coincidence. Something is broadcasting to Earth—or waking something *in* Earth. Recruited into a black-ops mission, Ella and ex-special forces operative Kasen Reed are sent to a remote Martian research base. The scientists there report footsteps in the dead of the base—footsteps that echo from 300 meters below, where satellite scans show only empty rock. What they find buried beneath Mars isn't a ship. It's a **memory vessel**—a relic built by a civilization that encoded its final moments into a structure that responds to human neural patterns. And Ella's brainwaves? They sync perfectly with the sun's silence. They always have. She wasn't chosen. She was *made* for this. But someone on Earth is building a tower—a transmitter. They don't want to receive the signal. They want to **reply**. The question isn't who sent the silence. It's who—or what—will answer back.

Esmeria
In a distant realm, a god-king revered by his followers rules with unyielding force, crushing nations that dare oppose him. Yet his ambitions stretch far beyond mortal subjugation—he hunts down other gods, erasing them from existence in his quest to become the sole divine power. As his dominion expands, gods disappear, kingdoms are threatened, and the world continues to change. Across this vast realm, adventurers, warriors, and gods pursue their own ambitions, unaware of how far the god-king's influence will eventually reach. Can even a god, crowned by worship and forged in tyranny, hold on to such power indefinitely? Or will someone rise against him, bringing about a downfall as inevitable as it is unforeseen? In a world where gods can die, only one can remain—but for how long? Cover art by Little-Moon on Scribblehub.

Halloween Story: The Lake Surprise part one
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.

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.

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.

I Can Extract the Plot ( As a Trash Side-Character)
Caelen Vance was supposed to die in Chapter One. Not metaphorically. Not “almost died but awakened hidden powers” died. Actually executed. Publicly. By axe. Unfortunately for the plot, Caelen remembers the game he reincarnated into. And unfortunately for the world, he just unlocked the single most broken ability imaginable: Endless Concept Extraction Touch anything. Steal one of its concepts. Permanently. Sharpness from swords. Durability from shields. Intent to Kill from monsters. Later? Luck. Identity. Memories. Even Divine Authority itself. There’s only one catch: He can only extract once every 24 hours. Now trapped inside the brutal dark-fantasy RPG Apocalypse: Reforged as a talentless noble bastard with a dead mana core and a 30-day countdown to execution, Caelen has exactly one goal: Survive quietly. Get rich illegally. Avoid every main character. Retire before the apocalypse. Naturally, everything goes horribly wrong. The future Ice Tyrant overseeing his execution becomes suspicious of him. The regressed heroine meant to save the world thinks he’s a timeline-breaking demon. A terrifying demon assassin starts living inside his shadow after he accidentally frees her from slavery. And a merchant genius keeps trying to convert emotional intimacy into legally binding business contracts. Now Caelen must survive political conspiracies, eldritch horrors, noble assassins, and the increasingly violent cold war between four dangerously competent women all while pretending he is absolutely, definitely, completely normal. Which becomes difficult after he accidentally removes a monster’s “Intent to Kill” and gives it an existential crisis. After all… It’s hard to stay a background character when you’re secretly stealing the concepts holding the world together.

Meanwhile, in the kingdom of Eclastare, a young noblewoman named Sophia finds herself drawn to something she cannot quite explain.

As secrets linger beneath the surface and the boundaries between fear, freedom, and ambition begin to blur, their paths will lead toward a conflict neither can simply sing or command her way out of. Because when the world refuses to listen, what is left for those who were born with voices that should never have existed?
