The disaster of the past was never gone, just silently waiting.

Hi I am Cassandra Ravencroft. Recently a virus spread all over causing temporary blindness. When I recovered from the illness. I noticed the outer walls were graffitied with the sentence. Don't let them know you can see. Trust no one. This made no sense till I came home. I started having visions when I touch something. It was a glimpse of something that happened there. I saw people being kidnapped or murdered. Or I am able to track people alive or dead if I see a video or a picture. If I focused too much I can hear thoughts of those who are nearby or maybe evenmove stuff around. Then lastly the ability to see the future or repeat a day. It only happened once. I need to find out how to control this before someone locks me up in area 51 or kill me.

Ethan leaves a comment on a livestream and doesn’t think much of it afterward, because there are too many people watching and too much noise for anything he says to matter for long. Out of thousands of messages, she remembers his. Not what he said, but his name. Raina doesn’t believe in coincidences because, in her experience, people leave and people forget, and she learned early on that most things don’t stay unless you make them stay. When she recognizes Ethan again after years, she does not rely on chance. She creates the conditions for them to meet again. A job request is made. A meeting follows. Then another, arranged in a way that feels natural enough not to question. Everything appears normal on the surface, and that is exactly why Ethan doesn’t question it, even when something in him quietly tells him he should. He tells himself he is overthinking, that she is simply kind, and that the way she shows up exactly when he needs her is nothing more than timing. But the closer she gets, the harder it becomes for him to separate his daily life from her presence in it. Because Raina doesn’t chase. She keeps. And once you matter to her, distance is no longer something that remains an option.

Zekai is twenty-two and has already decided that life is meaningless. He has no job, no ambition, and no interest in the future. While others chase purpose, he watches from the sidelines, convinced that the world runs on illusions people are too afraid to question. The death is ruled an accident. The silence afterward is not. Something is left behind—something old, something deliberate. From that moment, Zekai begins to notice what others cannot: patterns beneath coincidence, intent behind tragedy, and a presence that seems amused by his existence. The city changes around him. Crimes grow stranger. People disappear without explanation. Whispers spread of a figure who appears in moments of fear—part savior, part nightmare. Zekai does not seek to become anything. He only reacts. Yet the more he intervenes, the more the world pushes back. Every choice carries consequences he cannot escape. Every step forward reveals another layer of truth he was never meant to see. Some paths offer power. Some demand sacrifice. Some do not allow turning back. As Zekai is pulled deeper into a hidden side of the city—where justice, guilt, desire, and fate collide—he is forced to confront a question no one can answer for him: Is freedom something you choose… or something taken from you the moment you play along? Because this story is not about destiny fulfilled. It is about what remains when the final number is reached— 22.

October 1984. At a London memorial for Detective Deven Smith—an American investigator found dead in Poland—Mayhew Brown meets the widow, who doesn't believe the official story of suicide. She hires him to find the truth. January 1985. Mayhew and his partner, Margret Rose, arrive in Pustków, a decaying mountain city in Communist Poland, where ten people have vanished over a period of ten years. The investigation begins, but quickly goes into total chaos as the two detectives realize that the murderer is not like the rest they had caught in the past.

Satya was always different from other humans. While others chased money, fame, love, and pleasure, he chased something far more dangerous: the truth in its purest form. The truth behind the universe. The truth behind humanity. The truth behind reality itself. One night, while staring at the endless black sky, Satya met a god-like existence known as The Black Skies. A being that possessed endless knowledge, yet lacked one thing: understanding. To achieve true omniscience, The Black Skies required a “Dreamer”— a being who would live countless lives across countless worlds, experiencing every joy, sorrow, despair, and truth existence had to offer. And Satya accepted. For the sake of truth, even eternal suffering was worth enduring. Thus began his first dream. A world where imagination bends reality. A world where knowledge itself is power. A world where magic is born from resisting reality through one’s will. Born again as a child named Pahal, Satya slowly began to understand the beauty of life: the gentle love of a mother, the harsh teachings of a father, the peace of a simple village life, and the warmth of human connection. But peace was fleeting. A disaster tore him away from everything he loved, throwing him into Amarvan— an endless forest where the terrain moves, the trees watch silently, and reality itself seems alive. Trapped within a forest that wishes to keep him forever, Satya must survive through knowledge, willpower, and understanding. For in this world, imagination can become reality. And reality itself can be resisted. > “In a situation of utter despair, I remain calm as a mirror lake. Even if heaven leaves me no path, I shall carve one myself with the fire of my ambition.”

[Cover Character: Elias Kane.] Elias Kane was supposed to be done. He had survived too many beautiful disasters, too many obsessive women, and too many games where love was just another name for ownership. He knew how to play innocent. He knew how to play desirable. He knew how to turn sweetness into a weapon and vulnerability into a trap. All he wanted now was a clean exit. Then he woke up in a near-future world built on female power, old money, public elegance, and private cruelty. Here, powerful women do not need to shout to be terrifying. They sign contracts. They buy silence. They smile for cameras, donate to hospitals, fund universities, and ruin lives with perfect manners. And Elias has landed directly in their line of sight. A cold CEO who mistakes possession for care. A woman who smiles softly even when she is about to ruin someone. A campus goddess wrapped in wealth, beauty, coldness, and quiet cruelty. A doctor who can open the mind and leave damage no one else can see. Every one of them wears perfection beautifully. Every one of them knows how to lie. Every one of them is capable of ruining him without ever raising her voice. This time, Elias is not walking into a messy romance plot he can outplay with patience and a better performance. He is walking straight into a inescapable cage built from contracts, surveillance, coercion, and desire sharp enough to cut. One wrong step, and he will lose more than his freedom. He will become something to keep, control, and ruin. Unfortunately for them, Elias has never been as helpless as he looks. He understands women like this. He understands hunger dressed up as tenderness, cruelty dressed up as protection, and obsession dressed up as love. All he wants is to survive, cash out, and disappear. Unfortunately, the women circling him have started wanting something else. By now, Elias understands the rule better than anyone. The cruelest women do not corner you. They draw you in. They make you step closer on your own. Then they close their hands and call it fate.
