Decay Stories

The end of time came, and humanity endured. When the universe faced its cold death, mankind rose in one voice and pushed back the final dark. The Cold was stopped. Creation was saved. And then, across the eons that followed, humanity forgot how to live. Now mankind survives within Seraphim, a decaying Birch world built around the black heart of the galaxy. Vast levels lie dormant. Ancient laws are recited but no longer written. Whole regions have gone dark. Tradition rules over truth, and beneath the silence of humanity's greatest refuge, forgotten mysteries wait. The story follows Egeiro, a young scribe of Exousia, raised to preserve the history of man but haunted by the truths left unwritten. When he encounters a strange group of outcasts known as the Whispers, he is drawn into a forbidden journey with one impossible goal: leave Seraphim. The Silence is a work in progress that grew out of a dream I had, and it has slowly become something very close to my heart. I am still new to writing and learning as I go, so any feedback, thoughts, or criticism are deeply appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to walk through this imagination of mine with me. It means more than I can say.

Rok 1380 Virelle nie upada przez wojnę. Nie zostaje zdobyte przez wroga. Zmienia się od środka. W mieście, w którym od dawna obowiązują ustalone prawa i hierarchie, pojawia się królowa, której obecność zaczyna wpływać na wszystko, co znajduje się wokół niej. Pałac skrywa coraz więcej niewyjaśnionych zdarzeń, a mieszkańcy tracą pewność, czy mogą ufać własnym wspomnieniom, obserwacjom i decyzjom. „Martwa Władczyni" to mroczna opowieść o władzy, strachu i rzeczywistości, która przestaje być stabilna. O królestwie, w którym największym zagrożeniem nie jest to, co czai się poza murami, lecz to, czego nie da się już jednoznacznie zrozumieć. Okładkę wykonała: @idylliczna

In the shadowy corridors of Ravens Hollow High, 17-year-old Ethan Voss crafts a dangerous obsession with Lily Mercer, the new girl whose light threatens his simmering darkness. What begins as calculated manipulation-gaslighting, sabotage, and cryptic threats-spirals into a sinister game as Ethan evolves from troubled teen to "The Crimson Phantom," a criminal prodigy leaving blood-soaked puzzles for Interpol across continents. But Lily, surviving his psychological warfare, refuses to be a victim: armed with fragmented evidence and an uneasy alliance with Ethan's guilt-ridden best friend Noah and jaded Detective Maria Reyes, she turns hunter, tracing his trail from Tokyo's neon underworld to Europe's elite crime syndicates. As Ethan's empire grows, so does his fixation on Lily, blurring love and vengeance-until their final showdown forces him to choose: destroy her to secure his legacy, or let her expose the broken boy beneath the monster. How far will obsession go when the line between savior and villain vanishes?

"Life, is just a game. That we play without tutorial. And me, Shigaraki Tenko, I am... The final boss." When she came back to Japan after the war, Réka didn't find what she expected. No one expected her connection with Tomura, nor the two children by her side. A decade later, Tenko joins Yuei, to prevent that, what happened to his father, would happen again. But the past isn't left behind. It surges back. About a story they ignored. About a cult slowly rising. About a cursed legacy, he both tries to break and is entangled in. ---------- Mature contents: -Strong language -Physical/psychological violence -Bullying/harrassment -Moral ambiguity -Substance use/addiction -Depression/suicide attempt/self-harm -Necrophagy -Lots of mentions around death/grief/mourning since the core theme exploited here is Tomura's death and legacy. TL.DR = I can't gauge each person's sensitivity and mine is basically low so you're warned. ---------- This story is also published on AO3, Inkitt, Quotev, Space Battles and FFN.

Torn between fear and an inexplicable connection, Clara must confront the darkness that's taken root in her world.

Workers uncover a bare skull, only to reveal the full body beneath-sitting upright in mummified clothes, carved bones hinting at torment long before death.

To make matters worse darkness is spreading from the north, each day its shadow fingers reaching further and further into populated areas.
