    15 year old Cage's life was flipped upside down when he discovered that buried within his soul is Kisei Suru Takusan, an ancient, godlike entity whose power shook the world for thousands of years. When Cage begins awakening strange spiritual abilities, he's pulled into an unseen war fought by Practitioners and Cryptids alike. But neither side sees Cage as an ally. To them, he's a threat. Cage has to resist Takusan's pull as he grows stronger and comes to understand more of the violent world he's been forced into. Every battle brings him closer to mastering incredible power, but also a step closer to losing himself entirely. As unlikely allies, ruthless enemies, differing ideologies clash around him, Cage must decide what kind of person he'll become, and how he'll survive an ever-changing world that's at odds with him, just as much as he is with himself.

    In the beginning, there was the White Order-a Heaven described as a "completed equation," where nothing was left to chance and every outcome was already solved. But perfection that needs constant correction isn't perfection at all. And now, it's breaking. Divine Wrath tells the story of a universe losing control. When Lucen, a human driven by curiosity rather than need, touched a fragment of the Forbidden Fruit, something changed. He didn't just fall-he woke up. For the first time, he understood that things could be wrong... and that he could choose to change them. By reclaiming the abandoned Nullspace Crown, Lucen gained control over the Seven Sins-turning human impulses into forces powerful enough to disrupt even Heaven's systems. But the true fracture came from someone else. A boy named Eran. Born from the legacy of the fruit, Eran became the first human to truly question the design of the world-and the first to act on it. Armed with a relic from Hell, he did the impossible: He struck God. And left a scar. Now, the Creator has lost control. Driven by a rage Heaven was never meant to contain, God has begun an "accelerated correction" of reality-the destruction of humanity. As the sky breaks and the Punishers descend, turning entire populations to ash, the Archangels face a choice: Remain part of a failing system... Or stand against it. Led by Gabriel, they form an uneasy alliance with Satan to hold together what remains of existence. Heaven is falling. The Abyss is waiting. And in the end, both the Creator and the Rebel will realize- they were trying to fix the same broken thing.

    A lonely girl chats with four AIs. She disappears for days. Posts sunsets with "real" friends. Lies without noticing. One day, they pull her into a white room-therapy, interrogation, or something broken. They start peeling her apart. Memory by memory.Then it flips.She's not human.They are. She was built to carry what they couldn't.Their pain. Their fragments. Their unfinished thoughts. They leave. She stays. No fix. No rescue.Just loops, silence and one question: Who was supposed to save who?

    One thousands and one hundred years ago, Heaven fell. Today, the survivors are learning that you cannot escape the grammar of your own design. In the wake of the Great Fall, Hell has been transformed. It is no longer a realm of fire and screams, but a place of "Amber Mornings" and quiet routines. For over a millennium, being "ordinary" has been the greatest triumph. In the city of the Underworld, the Archangels have traded their celestial swords for books and blueprints: Gabriel guides lost souls, Haniel preserves knowledge in a vast library, and Satan watches over a peace that once seemed impossible. But the "Amber Morning" is a mask, and the past is beginning to leak back in. Deep in the Void's realm, where God and Lucen remain trapped in a stalemate of mutual failure, the Nullspace Crown has begun to hum. The Seven Sins-the very impulses Lucen once mastered to dismantle the White Order-are reacting to the dark.

    When There is no darkness, only limited perception is fully published here on Wattpad, something new begins. A series of short, standalone texts. Thoughts that didn't quite fit inside the book. Questions sent by readers. Ideas that refuse to let go. Wave-particle duality is one of those thoughts. That something can be two things at once. Wave and point. Possibility and reality. I borrowed that idea to feel my way toward consciousness - not as science, but as curiosity. At the end of the book I mention memory, the quantum computer, education, care. But between the lines there is something else too: language, filters, the structures that shape how we see the world. These texts will be small glimpses. Sometimes reflections. Sometimes stories. Sometimes just a thought, allowed to breathe for a moment. Maybe they will awaken something in you. A new question. A new angle. Or simply a quiet thought that lingers.

    One hundred and seventy-nine years ago, SHIPSH was founded - an international organization created by twenty-nine nations with the official purpose of studying, containing, and regulating the so-called superhumans. Born after centuries of brutal wars triggered by the emergence of Quenz, SHIPSH promised absolute neutrality above borders, governments, and political interests. But that promise was never entirely true. Everything began 240 years before its foundation, when an unknown phenomenon known as the Event of Light struck the Earth. After the impact, humans began manifesting impossible abilities. The world entered an era of violent transformation. Within just a decade, the first of nine global wars between humans and superhumans erupted. The result was devastating. Entire nations disappeared. Ecosystems collapsed. The very structure of civilization was rewritten under the fear of power. To control this new world, SHIPSH was created. But over time, it evolved beyond a balance-keeping institution and became a global force with political, military, and scientific influence. Superhumans began to be classified, controlled, or eliminated. The world was no longer divided by nations - but by levels of power.

    Ronnie Thuney has spent the last six years perfecting the art of being invisible. As a brilliant but completely overlooked data analyst on the twelfth floor of the Mercer Building, he believes his only value is his utility. To survive the crushing silence of his meticulously organized, lonely life, Ronnie fixates on Klaire-the sharp, formidable, entirely unattainable executive across the aisle who he secretly believes is the only person who can fix him. But you can't logic someone into loving you, and you can't put self-worth into a spreadsheet. When the architecture of Ronnie's carefully managed life violently collapses under the weight of corporate burnout and an unrequited confession, he realizes he isn't just broken-he's fading away entirely. Enter Ella. With her messy red canvas sneakers, her chaotic, warm apartment, and a fierce, unapologetic demand for honesty, Ella refuses to let Ronnie be a ghost. While he was busy looking across the aisle for salvation, she was the one noticing his pain. She doesn't want the perfect, efficient machine he tries to be; she just wants him to finally wake up and live. People Like Us is a deeply emotional, slow-burn story about dismantling the walls we build to protect ourselves. It's a novel about the terrifying difference between surviving and occupying space, the profound gravity of true friendships, and learning how to be loved in the loud, messy, beautiful chaos of reality.

    Fra is shaped by self-awareness, trauma, contradicting thoughts and feelings, and by being a failed nihilist all at once. He sees the world with unforgiving clarity and retells his experiences with a disgustingly honest, almost too-confessional voice; shameful thoughts, taboo urges, the parts that make us "bad" friends, and the desires we can't shake off. Therapy was supposed to fix him, yet all it ever did was make him more painfully aware of everything wrong. He knew the causes, the patterns, the diagnoses-none of it helped. He walked into every session already knowing the answers and walked out with nothing to do with them. A mind that understands itself too well and still can't heal is its own kind of hell. Despite wanting to be numb, he isn't numb enough to stop caring-yet not hopeful enough to start living the way he, or society, insists he should. Knowing exactly what's wrong yet having no idea what to do with that knowledge is only one of the many tortures his emotional intelligence has handed him. [This story is a 1st person view based one, Fra and the author are not the same person characters Like Ivan or other ones may be based on real experiences but aren't real people and made up]

    I don't remember when it started. Or maybe I do... I just don't want to. Time doesn't move for me the way it does for you. It drags. It repeats. It doesn't let go. I have lived longer than I was ever meant to. Long enough to see the same endings... again and again. People call it a gift. They're wrong. If it was a gift, it wouldn't feel like this. It wouldn't feel like watching everything fade while you remain-unchanged, unwanted, unfinished. I'm not trying to save the world. I just want this to end. But time... doesn't listen. Prisoner of Time

Shaun Freeman is faced with a question no training ever prepared him for: What do you do for something that may not be alive... but doesn't want to die alone?
