    Izanagi begins the archive, writing in the style of a living chronicle - not detached scripture, but story-as-history. When Zeneathil is born, Izanagi eventually passes the role to him, since recording is Zeneathil's entire being. Later, when Uriel comes into being, she joins Zeneathil in maintaining and curating it. Covers the span from the Sea Without Shape through the wars of the gods, the plagues, the birth of mortals, and ends when the angels and Lucifer's core demons are born. The introduction of the angels & core demons marks a natural "closing chapter" - a transition from proto-history into the more structured age of man and faith. The gods themselves are aware the archive is being written. Sometimes what happens is told as if seen by them - other times, as if spoken for mortals who will one day read it. 📜 Trigger / Content Warnings (for IRL sharing) Violence & Death: frequent mythic violence, divine wars, plagues, and descriptions of mortality. Body Horror / Grotesque Imagery: gods and creatures with unsettling forms (secondary mouths, missing flesh, skeletal figures, plague-born beings). Religious Themes: heavy use of deity figures, pantheons, creation myths, death & afterlife imagery (may echo or invert real-world religious tones). Plague & Disease: descriptions of divine and mortal plagues, loss of life, and mass suffering. War & Catastrophe: large-scale devastation, destruction of tribes, and cosmic conflict. Child Imagery: gods born in childlike forms (e.g. Zeneathil), but not exploited; occasionally caught in divine conflicts like children in a divorce. Fire, Ash, and Darkness: symbolic destruction, hellfire imagery, abyssal sea creatures. Mythic Sexuality / Birth Themes: divine reproduction (both natural and sculpted/forged), references to mating patterns in non-human species (sirens, hominids), but not explicit. Existential Horror: themes of fate, inevitability, and being weaponized by higher powers.

    By rule of the Olympian Gods, all Demigods of divine ability are required to attend Mount Academy where they are to be supervised and tamed in their gifts. For centuries, never was there a Demigod to slip unnoticed. Until Ryker Storm, who did so by will of his father: Hades, God of the Underworld. Spawned solely for Hades' purpose of overthrowing Zeus' rule, Ryker is sent to Mount Academy as a stepping stone to infiltrating Olympus. Unfortunately for Hades, his plan isn't the only one in action. Hatred. Betrayal. Power. For Ryker Storm, and 2 children of Ares, it isn't about who their parent is. It's about what they did. ------------------------------ Highest rank: #1 in Mythopoeia

    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?

    What if the past started talking to you? At the edge of the known universe, the crew of the Kepler-Procyon ship picks up a signal that shouldn't exist. It contains wars no one remembers, heroes erased from history, the tragedies and triumphs of entire nations. It contains vanilla and honey, beneath which lies fear. And blues sung not by a guitar, but by pain itself. "Voices of the Forgotten" is a story about who remains when everyone forgets. It's about what it means to remember-even if it kills. And about why forgetting means betrayal. If you believe that the truth never dies - it just waits to be heard - this book is for you.

When there is no hint left of who she, herself is, she can do nothing other than hike on to her past to find herself. But when it all ends up in fiasco; her hope was diminishing, even when fate asked her to find herself. All she had to do was hesitate for herself until she met the legend of the wizards, a scientist, who took her life by storm. He promised her to help her find who she was but for that she would have to go through the realm of fantasy she is in, to earn him something, that's the only way she could get to know 'who she was', hence she gets ready for the adventures. Believe it or not! What happens if she falls for the legend before she gets to know him well, before she gets to know who she is... When a whole lot more questions arise in her mind, all she wants to know is who is she?; As her journey has made her get lost in her own world, finding herself.

    Once upon a time, in a land where human has never set foot and creatures straight from a fairytale roam free, a raging, savage war is underway. This is the land of Aaluna. It is a war between dark and light, good and evil, a seemingly constant struggle for the upper hand that can never be consistently achieved for either side, yet the tides are turning. The Exiles are the masters of war and the ignition of all nightmares themselves, with one common goal: to kill off all good and righteousness that stands against them. The Insiders are the pure flame in the surrounding darkness that must not be extinguished, as all hope rests in their hands. Yet how can a single candle stay aflame in a crowd of creatures so determined to extinguish it? • • • A young Insider named Aurora is left to wander Aaluna aimlessly ever since a fateful event in her past left her without a family, and most of all, alone. That is, until she meets the Paladins. Who are these mysterious group of Insiders, and can they help her solve her cryptic past? And furthermore, what does she mean to the Paladins? Can she help play the cards in the Insiders' favor, or will she let such a delicate spark perish altogether, engulfed in an ink blackness? _•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_• (This book is still in its very early stages, so please don't mind any errors or plot holes that may arise. That being said, you have the chance to read a fantasy book in its most raw state, and have the potential to see it grow and shape into something amazing and unique. Comments and critiques are greatly appreciated and help my writing process by tenfold! So don't be afraid, take a chance and step into a new world...)

Meanwhile, Hades, furious and grieving, turns his ire toward Persephone, blaming her for the unraveling of order and the emergence of chaos. Between their conflict lies Melinoë, their child, born amidst the turmoil of the Veil's destruction. Gifted-or cursed-with the power to contain the monsters spilling through the breach, Melinoë pays a steep price. For beyond the shattered barrier lies an ancient force that could mean salvation-or the end of everything.
