STRANDED:A Galaxy far away

SYNOPSIS: Arin Sharma was just a cyber expert, until the world ended. On May 14 Earth didn’t burn. It vanished. A rift tore open the sky, and in a heartbeat, the planet was ripped from its orbit and hurled into a distant, hostile galaxy. Cities collapsed, continents shifted, and billions vanished in a single breath. They called it The Shift, an extinction event without fire or warning. A year later, Earth survives… but it doesn’t heal. Technology decays. Governments fracture. Familiar stars are gone, replaced by unfamiliar constellations and a creeping sense that something out there is watching—ancient, silent, and cold. The world has become a haunted carcass, crawling with horrors born of desperation, alien science, and human arrogance. In this fractured world, Arin drifts without purpose, plagued by guilt and silence. Until he discovers a buried secret beneath the ruins of what once was—a message encoded in alien signals. The Shift wasn’t random. It was a warning. And someone, or something, has responded. Now, Arin must navigate a planet that has become unrecognizable twisted by alien biology and infected with human ambition gone mad. Monstrous creatures roam the wastelands, mutations of man and beast, warped by invasive DNA, parasitic growths, or fusions of flesh and rogue technology. Bioengineered horrors, once created for protection, have turned predator. Humanity has splintered into warring factions, some worshipping the new gods in the stars, others performing experiments on survivors in a race to evolve… or survive. In the shadows, the true invaders stir, eldritch beings beyond comprehension, whose mere presence bends reality and time, driving minds to madness. They are not here to conquer. They are here to reclaim. Amid gore-soaked survival, betrayal, and the collapse of morality, Arin races to uncover the truth of what Earth has become—and what it is becoming. Along the way, he will face tragedy, treason, body horror, and cosmic terror, forced to decide not just how to survive… but whether humanity deserves to. Because The Shift wasn’t the end. It was the prologue. And what comes next is worse.

Have we met before?: Book 1

LGBT BL Story MxM Summary: Three years ago, college sweethearts Archie and William were inseparable-until a devastating car accident shattered their world. Both survived, but with severe memory loss. Archie fell into a coma that lasted three long years, while William, disoriented and broken, tried to rebuild his life without the memories of the man he once loved. Awoke from a three-year coma with memory loss, Archie struggled to recover as a familiar face haunted his thoughts-a guy who clearly meant something to him, though his name hovered just out of reach. Then, one evening, in a noisy restaurant, Amber saw him. The same guy. Only this time, he wasn't alone. A woman sat beside him, laughing softly, her hand brushing his. Archie's breath caught. His heart kicked. Something in him stirred-panic, recognition, longing. He couldn't explain it. Couldn't name it. But his body knew what his mind had forgotten. The air shifted. Time slowed. The moment swelled with a strange, unbearable tension. His body reacted instinctively, as if sensing a truth his mind hadn't yet grasped. He rose, legs unsteady, and approached, driven by a question that burned at the edge of everything. "Have we met before?" This story is a poignant tale of lost love, rediscovery, and the enduring pull of the heart-even when the mind forgets. ALL NAMES,PLACES etc., USED IN THIS NOVEL ARE PURELY FICTIONAL. ++ This story is a combination of comedy and highly emotional chapters. If you love stories that would touch your soul, I hope you like this :> ++ This story is complete, but I might consider writing a prequel/sequel of the story

Oops, I rebooted the apocalypse (again)!

Did you ever wake up to the end of the world? No, seriously. Not the “oh no I left the stove on and now the apartment smells like death” kind of day. I’m talking real the end-of-the-world stuff. Screaming skies, gravity hiccupping like it’s drunk, your neighbor’s cat sprouting wings and declaring itself the harbinger of the Meat Singularity. No? Lucky you. Now imagine waking up to that again. And again. And again. To the point where you start ranking each apocalypse like a reality show. “Episode 88: Lava Sharks vs. Nano-Mormons.” “Episode 103: The Time Gravity Turned Inside-Out and Everyone Was Suddenly Left-Handed.” That one was weird. You know, it's like your dose of ordinary fever dreams. But daily. Something like that. That absurd, I mean. My name’s Rafael Vagathris. I’m a regressor. Which is a fancy way of saying I’ve died a lot, watched the world end a lot, and respawned more times than your average gamer rage-quitting Minecraft. Every time the world croaks, I get booted back to square one with a hangover, a sarcastic AI in my head, and the deeply comforting realization that I’m the only one who remembers any of it. So that’s cool. My helpful companion in this eternal Groundhog Day Armageddon is M.O.T.H.E.R.—the Modular Operational Time-Hop Emergency Regulator. Or as I like to call her, “Mo,” or “The Glitch Witch.” She’s technically here to help me stop the apocalypse. Probably. Realistically? She’s more interested in giving me daily randomized perks like “Your bones are now inflatable!” or “Congratulations, you are now mildly magnetic to forks.” She also assigns quests. Once, I was told to seduce a sentient vending machine. Another time? Defeat a goose armed with a rocket launcher. I'm still not sure who won that one. The goose definitely walked away. On fire. But confident. You’d think after all this time I’d have a plan. I don’t. Mostly, I just wing it with a mix of street smarts, recycled knowledge, and an unholy talent for bullshitting my way out of death. What’s different this time? Well… everything. The apocalypse looks wrong. The sky cracked sideways. The same people I usually save are in different places—or worse, alive when they should be dead. I mean, good for them, but creepy for me. Mo’s glitching harder than ever. The rules are changing. Maybe I did something wrong last run. Maybe I did something right. Maybe this time the apocalypse isn’t just something to survive—it’s something I caused. So yeah. New day. New reboot. Same cosmic disaster. And me? Still here. Still sarcastic. Still determined to fix this mess, or at least get a decent cup of coffee before we all implode again. And surely, finding some one I missed in every single loop. Welcome to the end of the world. Again. ***
