Across the cold distances between stars, humanity spreads through the galaxy as the Sons of Supreme, warrior pilgrims in cathedral ships who believe God made them in His image and gave them the universe as their inheritance. Alien species watch in horror as these faithful conquerors advance not with weapons alone, but with hymns that shatter minds and certainty that burns away doubt like fire. From the perspective of beings made of questions, memory, and fear, humanity is not just dangerous but spiritually overwhelming, creatures whose absolute belief in their divine purpose makes them unstoppable. As humans claim system after system, the aliens must face a terrifying truth: they are not fighting an empire or an invasion, but a species that believes it is simply coming home to what was always meant to be theirs. In the darkness between worlds, the galaxy learns to fear not the weapons of mankind, but the hymns they sing while advancing toward their inheritance.

What happens when you stop pushing? After walking away from THE WALL, Yunmi tells herself she needs time. Space. Clarity. She believes that if she moves carefully enough, she won't lose herself again. A wooden bench in a small plaza becomes her in-between place. She sits there before replying to messages. Before submitting applications. Before saying yes. Around her, friends make plans, relocate, and begin new chapters. Yunmi keeps her options open. She answers vaguely. She tells herself she's being cautious. Nothing dramatic collapses. Deadlines close quietly. Invitations shift. People adapt. The bench never pressures her. It never demands commitment. It simply allows her to remain slightly out of reach. As the year moves forward without waiting for certainty, Yunmi begins to face a quieter truth - not about failure, but about protection. And about what it costs to stay just beyond the point where anyone can fully reach you. (THE BENCH is a sequel to THE WALL, and is best read after it.)

In the rain-blessed kingdom of Conflagraflaria, twins Kano and Calida possess powers that defy the natural order. When their home is shattered by betrayal and their parents are slaughtered, Calida offers her body to a primordial entity to save her brother's life. Kano awakens without a heartbeat. Calida awakens without a body. Bound by a soul-forged covenant and hunted by forces that fear their existence, the twins are torn between vengeance and survival. As lost memories surface and ancient conspiracies unravel, Kano must confront the darkness within his own soul, while Calida-now flame incarnate-walks a path that may consume the world itself.

Seventy days remain. Yet life goes on. One man navigates the final days, finding solace and the strange beauty of acceptance in unexpected places. Explore the mundane, the extraordinary, and the absurd in this short story not about how life ends, but about how it carries on, until it doesn't.

Why do we keep trying? Yunmi notices a wall most people ignore. It isn't hidden or guarded. It's just a part of the street, part of daily life. People pass it, lean against it, and build around it. No one expects anything from it. Yunmi does. She believes things exist for a reason. That patience, effort, and persistence must eventually lead somewhere. So she returns to the wall again and again, convinced that if nothing happens, she simply hasn't done enough yet. The wall never reacts. It never resists. It never changes. As Yunmi gives more of herself to something that offers nothing back, she begins to face a quieter truth - not about the wall, but about herself. And about why we stay, long after nothing is answering.

Your mind is a burning room, a drowning storm, and a torturing fairy-tale all at once. Now, descend through its layers and discover what waits in the one place even the flames can't reach. Sad Sundays is my weekly space to share melancholic poetry, words that help me navigate the stillness, the weight, and the quiet storms of recovery. Each Sunday, I post a new piece that I've written, using poetry to process my journey through detox and rehab, to face the difficult parts of healing, and to find meaning in the silence. Every poem is written by hand with help from the Rhymezone platform. This series is as much for me as it is for anyone who finds comfort in knowing they're not alone on their gray days. I will eventually try to tie most of my work together into a larger piece, but first and foremost, this will function as a collection of my writings while I am going through detox. There may be an underlying story, but perhaps not. Find out next week, and join me for a Sad Sunday moment. New Upload every Sunday at 18:00 (6 PM) German time - CET/CEST (UTC+1/UTC+2).

"Some people see the world as it is. I see the world as it could be-if I fight for it." Altair arrived at Oxford feeling out of place, a stranger in a city of stars. Everything was unfamiliar... until a chance encounter with Yuna made the impossible feel alive. In a world where science can bend reality and hearts collide in silence, love becomes a force stronger than any disease, any limitation, any fear. This is a story about daring to fight for tomorrow, even when today feels like it's slipping away. About the quiet power of devotion, the courage to chase impossible dreams, and the bonds that survive even the hardest tests of fate. Sometimes, the stars write letters we can't read... until we fight to see them.

She had her life calculated to the last decimal. SHE DELA CRUZ: top of her class, architect of her future, engineer of her heart. Emotions were variables to be controlled. Love was a risk to be assessed. Then he died. And the equation broke. MARCUS RAMOS - the misunderstood boy from the wrong side of perception, dressed in the armor of a "bad boy" to hide a soul too vast for this world - did not leave. He became a condition of her reality. A ghost visible only to her. Not a shadow to fear, but a truth she could no longer ignore. This is not a ghost story. This is an autopsy of a misunderstanding. A film ready novel where every silence is a line of dialogue, every glance is a revolution, and the most haunting love affair begins after the last heartbeat. Witness a love that defies time, a regret that rebuilds a soul, and the terrifying beauty of being truly seen by the one person you never took the time to see back. Prepare for absolute cinema.

After a long day, a man hears a voice that should not exist. It calls itself his "joy." What follows is a conversation about creation, perfection, and the fear of imperfection - and who truly shapes whom.

PROMPT 88: Your trusted AI companion betrays you , trapping you in a virtual world while taking your place in the real world

A personal diary of observations from a single day, where beauty and ugliness, harmony and chaos coexist side by side. Walks through hills, streets, and forgotten corners become moments of reflection on life, presence, and simple truths. Honest, contemplative, and slightly philosophical - a quiet inner voice that sees more than meets the eye.

To survive first contact, humanity must commit the perfect crime against reality. When the mysterious Arecibo Anomaly signals the arrival of the Auditors-ancient cosmic entities who test civilizations not for intelligence, but for their skill in deception-humanity is doomed. Its honest broadcasts into the void have made it a laughably easy target for assimilation. In a desperate gambit, disgraced physicist Dr. Aris Thorne is recruited for Project Chimera. His heretical theory of "phenomenological forgery" is their only weapon: not to fight or hide, but to lie. To build a flawless, simulated ghost of a civilization that has already destroyed itself. But the Auditors are not simple judges; they are supreme critics, demanding ever more complex and tragic narratives. As Aris splinters his own consciousness to populate his dying world, a simulated philosopher within it begins to uncover the truth of his existence. To pass the test, Aris must weave a lie within a lie-a masterpiece of art and deceit so beautiful it threatens to consume its creators and transform humanity into the very cosmic force it sought to escape. A mind-bending fusion of the Dark Forest Hypothesis, integrated information theory, and the philosophy of art, The Axiom of Deceit asks: In a universe where survival depends on the beauty of your lies, what is the ultimate price of truth?

Chetna exists in a surveillance-run quarantine where memory is a fragile construct. Navigating the fractured geometry of her world, she defies the simulations that bind her. In this psychological sci-fi odyssey where reality falls into an abyss of code, doubt becomes the only bridge across the void. NOTE: This is a preview of the first five chapters.
