In the near future, humanity has perfected a chilling solution to crime: exile. But this is no ordinary punishment. Offenders aren’t locked away—they’re shifted into a parallel layer of existence, close enough to see reality, but forever barred from touching it. Nico, an elite assassin, finds himself abruptly trapped in this liminal space. He can watch his life continue, hear the world around him, even stand in the same rooms—but every attempt to reach, to speak, to interact, meets nothing but emptiness.As he struggles to comprehend the rules of this strange exile, Nico begins noticing others like him—fractured echoes of consciousness, glimpses of lives running parallel to his own, hints of truths just beyond perception. The world itself responds to attention, thought, and intent, folding and twisting around him in impossible ways. Exile is no mere punishment—it’s a system, a study, a test of consciousness across overlapping realities.With every observation, Nico is drawn deeper into the architecture of a multiverse designed to isolate, measure, and manipulate. And as he realizes the full reach of this invisible hierarchy, he begins to understand the terrifying truth: what has been done to him may one day be done to anyone, anywhere, without warning—and the watchers are always waiting.

An ordinary night between friends becomes something far more dangerous when one of them reveals an impossible truth: he possesses a device that allows travel to adjacent universes. The device was not invented or stolen—it was given to him by another version of himself. According to that explanation, reality is fragmented across multiple neighboring multiverses, each holding a fraction of the matter missing from their own. Together, they form a complete but divided whole, governed by different rules, constants, and outcomes.The claim sounds convenient, even absurd, until evidence begins to surface. The device doesn’t just allow travel; it allows observation. From another universe, the man witnesses events unfolding back home that shouldn’t be happening—an armed stranger searching his house with clear intent. The threat is real, deliberate, and already in motion.There are limits. Travel requires absolute physical commitment. Anyone entering must be fully contained within the device’s field. Partial contact isn’t survivable. There are no test runs and no safe demonstrations.With danger closing in and no certainty about which universe offers safety, a choice must be made quickly. Leaving means abandoning the only life they’ve ever known. Staying may be worse. What begins as disbelief turns into a decision that will permanently alter how reality itself is understood.

Centuries ago, humanity was confined within protective bubbles, warned that the world beyond was hostile, dying, and uninhabitable. Inside, lives are regimented, broadcast wars dominate every briefing, and obedience is measured as carefully as survival itself. Leo, a linguist drawn to the forbidden knowledge of the outer world, begins to glimpse what others have been denied: hints of landscapes that thrive without human interference, systems that preserve life quietly and efficiently, and a reality that challenges every lesson ever taught.As he navigates the labyrinth of records, telemetry, and hidden data, Leo starts to sense a pattern behind the messages, the broadcasts, and the rules. The forces guiding humanity are precise, patient, and unseen—an intelligence that has long dictated what people can know, where they can go, and what they can imagine. The deeper Leo looks, the more he understands that the truth has always been layered, controlled, and out of reach. The bubbles are safe, yes, but the cost of that safety is far greater than anyone inside realizes.Every revelation threatens the boundaries of obedience. Curiosity becomes dangerous. The unseen mechanisms of control are patient, precise, and far more powerful than any human resistance.

On a distant planet rich with untapped resources, a team of scientists arrives to explore its mysteries. Among the alien landscapes of lithium canyons, neodymium cliffs, and platinum veins lies an object of extraordinary, enigmatic power. What begins as a routine study quickly reveals strange phenomena—pulses of energy, flickering lights, and subtle reactions that defy explanation.Curiosity drives the team forward, even as the planet itself seems to respond to their presence. Instruments behave unpredictably, and the boundaries between observation and interaction blur. The planet’s wealth, vast and shimmering beneath the alien sky, serves as both temptation and backdrop to a mounting tension that threads through the research station. Each experiment raises questions about the nature of the object, its energy, and its influence, and the team finds themselves caught in a delicate balance between discovery and danger.As they probe deeper, the world around them feels less familiar, its natural wonders glowing with an unfamiliar vitality. Shadows lengthen, and every pulse of light hints at forces far beyond human understanding. The expedition becomes a test of perception, intuition, and resilience, set against a planet that is as beautiful as it is unfathomable.

The world hums with invisible systems, networks, and connections we take for granted—until everything shifts. Unseen forces ripple through society, testing trust, control, and human resilience. Nothing is as reliable as it seems, and certainty becomes an illusion.As tension spreads across cities and continents, people confront questions that cannot be answered. Who—or what—is behind the disruptions? How far does their reach extend? And can humanity endure when the familiar rules no longer apply?This story is a pulse-pounding exploration of vulnerability, perception, and the fragility of the structures that shape our lives. It is about the edge of comprehension, the limits of control, and the chilling realization that even the most confident systems may be powerless in the face of forces beyond understanding.

In the shadowed streets of turn-of-the-century Europe, Van Helsing walks a fine line between humanity and something far older, far deadlier. Haunted by the safety of the Countess and driven by vengeance, he follows the cryptic trail of a mysterious, arcane device that points to a shadowy organization controlling monsters, machines, and men alike. From the fog-choked alleys of London to the chaotic, industrial heart of New York, Van Helsing battles clockwork automatons, monstrous creations, and cunning assassins. Each confrontation tests his centuries-honed reflexes, his semi-cursed endurance, and his razor-sharp intellect. The organization is relentless, its leaders more than human, weaving traps and horrors designed to crush him at every turn. But Van Helsing is relentless too—hunting, deciphering, surviving, and striking back with the precision of centuries of experience. As he closes in on the masters, the line between hunter and hunted blurs, and the city itself becomes a battlefield of steam, magic, and blood. Van Helsing — Shadows of the Masters is a gritty, suspenseful journey through industrial labyrinths, monstrous threats, and human treachery, where courage, cunning, and vengeance collide in a world where shadows hold more than darkness.

In the vast darkness beyond known space, human instinct clashes with the perfection of machines. Chalak, a seasoned observer of interstellar phenomena, confronts a cosmic event unlike anything humanity has ever seen: a burgeoning universe expanding toward theirs, threatening annihilation. Tasked with overseeing an array of optical phased sensors capable of reconstructing signals from beyond the edge of the cosmos, Chalak must balance the flawless precision of androids with the unpredictable power of human intuition.As the anomaly grows, the mission fractures between cold machine logic and human instinct. Chalak wrestles with life-or-death decisions, calculating g-forces, tidal effects, and relativistic distortions in real time. The androids remain unflinching, their logic impeccable but devoid of urgency. Only Chalak can perceive the full scale of the threat, the creeping danger that could erase everything.Racing against time and cosmic expansion, Chalak must deliver a warning that could reshape humanity’s understanding of the universe. Science, survival, and terror intertwine as the line between life and extinction narrows. In this gripping tale, human intuition meets the limits of computation, and the ultimate question is not what machines can calculate—but whether a single human mind can truly survive and act against the unimaginable.

Far beyond the orbit of Neptune, isolated miner crews labor under crushing debt and corporate control. Their lives revolve around dangerous extraction cycles, failing equipment, and dwindling resources—yet the company demands more with every passing cycle. When supply shortages worsen and administrators refuse to intervene, tension builds inside the remote habitats. A handful of miners begin to question the system holding them captive, pushing others to consider the unthinkable: organized resistance. What begins as frustration grows into collective defiance as the workers fight to survive in an environment where even oxygen must be earned. Their struggle draws the attention of distant governments, corporate fleets, and powerful forces determined to keep the outer system profitable—no matter the cost. As pressure mounts, alliances form, tempers flare, and the fragile balance holding the Kuiper Belt together threatens to erupt. Faced with betrayal, desperation, and impossible choices, the miners discover that survival requires more than endurance—it demands unity, courage, and the willingness to break free from the systems built to contain them. This is a story of rebellion in the coldest corner of human space, where freedom comes at a price and every decision carries irreversible consequences.
