Noctis accepts a simple job as a gardener at the isolated Vexwood Manor, expecting routine work and quiet days. Instead, he finds himself trapped in a place governed by unspoken rules and unsettling silences. The servants are polite yet distant, the corridors unnaturally empty, and certain areas of the mansion are strictly off-limits—most notably, the third floor. While exploring the manor, Noctis discovers a diary belonging to the previous gardener. Its fragmented entries describe repeated explorations, strange warnings, and specific locations within the mansion that seem tied to hidden truths. What initially appears to be guidance slowly reveals itself as something more troubling—clues that suggest the manor is not merely a residence, but a trial. As Noctis investigates the corridors and studies the mansion’s paintings, he begins to notice recurring names tied to the Vexwood family, yet finds no information about them beyond the manor’s walls. His attempts to understand the place only deepen his isolation, as contact with the outside world proves impossible. His curiosity nearly costs him dearly when he attempts to climb to the forbidden third floor. Stopped abruptly by the head maid, whose sudden appearance and inhuman composure leave him shaken, Noctis realizes the rules are enforced not by words—but by fear. When she vanishes without a trace, the warning becomes clear: the mansion is watching. Left with unanswered questions and limited choices, Noctis decides to turn his attention to the one place left unexplored—the basement. Not because he wants to, but because the manor has quietly guided him there. And for the first time, he understands that every step he takes is part of something far greater than he imagined.

But something has started responding.

A story of elemental war, inherited trauma, and the revolutionary power of choosing love over purity. I'm failing to upload a cover photo at the moment but I will as soon as I can.

On a night when the desert silence choked their very breath, Atiya and his four cousins hunted for a mirage of wealth beneath the sands of Marib. They didn't know that the earth never reveals its entrails for free, and that what they unearthed wasn't a relic—it was a 'Temporal Shackle' waiting for its seal to be broken. ​With a single touch, the present dissolved. Atiya awoke in an era where the sun shows no mercy to strangers, trapped in a body inhabited by 'something' else. The echoes of his cousins' laughter vanished, replaced by an ancient whisper crawling from the walls of towering temples—a whisper that calls him by a name not his own, demanding a debt written in his blood millennia ago. ​As his modern memories erode under the weight of the curse, Atiya finds himself alone against the grandeur and the darkness of Saba. Where did the others go? And what power is speaking through his own throat? ​In this land, the truth is buried deeper than gold, and the price of returning home may be the soul itself. Atiya is no longer searching for treasure... he is searching for the self that is slowly fading into the shadows of kings."

“Science is the closest thing to Magic.” If that is true, then what we call Magic is nothing more than Science we have yet to understand. And if Science itself is merely a codification of wonder, then the boundary between the rational and the miraculous is far thinner than humanity dares admit. Between Scientific knowledge and Religious faith, between Culture and Superstition.  Humanity asked the question:  "When the laws of physics themselves bend under the weight of human will, are we practising sorcery or are we merely revealing deeper ontologies of reality?" Science provides method, proof, and structure.  Magic supplies mystery, awe, and possibility.  Together, they create a paradox. A world where equations are incantations, where quarks and sigils are written in the same language, where love and entropy obey the same law. As such. I posed the same question: "Are we merely revealing deeper layers of reality?" And the world answered: "Absque ulla dubitation" That is the Paradox of 'our' Universal Paradigm. . . . Say that again? P.S.A: Horrendously scientific. Referral to the equation list in the Auxiliary Chapters is a must. Hell, go pursue a PhD in Quantum Mechanics / Particle Physics to understand some of the shit I yap.

A psychological thriller about weaponized trauma, the architecture of denial, and whether choosing humanity over godhood is strength or surrender.
