Darkness. Then light. A sharp inhale. [Welcome, User. Synchronizing Essence Data…] Alicia blinked, her vision blurring as neon-blue text flickered across her sight. It wasn’t a normal HUD. It was something more—something deeper. 【Essence of the Alchemist: Integrated】 【Essence of the Artificer: Integrated】 【Essence of the Binder: Integrated】 【Essence of the Broker: Integrated】 【Essence of the Crafter: Integrated】 【Essence of the Mad Doctor: Integrated】 【Essence of the Merchant: Integrated】 【Essence of the Pocket Dimensional Farm: Integrated】 【Essence of the Pocket Dimensional Mine: Integrated】 【Essence of the Spark: Integrated】 A rush of knowledge flooded her brain—science, chemistry, engineering, all meshing seamlessly with her own understanding. But that wasn't the only thing filling her mind. Memories—her memories. A past life she hadn't lived yet. No contradiction, no disconnect. Her personality remained untouched, as if she had always been this Alicia. Then, reality hit her like a freight train. "Alicia! Sweetheart, you need to get ready," Aunt May’s voice filtered through the door, soft but carrying the weight of sorrow. "The funeral is starting soon." Funeral? The moment she thought it, the knowledge locked in her new mind unlocked itself. Uncle Ben was gone. Shot. Dead. Her breath hitched as she sat up, heart pounding against her ribs. A creak at the door caught her attention. Peter. He stood there, rigid, a fragile mask of restraint barely holding back his guilt. His red-rimmed eyes, the way he clenched his fists—it was all too much. Alicia swallowed. This was 2011. She was early. She was here before Peter fully became Spider-Man. Before everything spiraled out of control. And that meant she could help him. She could help all of them.

Echoes of the Unknown - Cthulhu Collection

"Echoes of the Unknown" is a collection of horror short stories inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos and the works of H.P. Lovecraft. These tales unravel cosmic horrors that awaken mankind's deepest fears of the incomprehensible forces beyond our understanding of the world. Each story follows individuals caught in encounters with unseen entities and ancient symbols that open doors to terror and destruction. From researchers exploring dangerous ruins to ordinary people unknowingly uncovering hidden truths, the protagonists are trapped in unsolvable mysteries and face horrors far beyond their control. Strange occurrences and recurring nightmares signal the approach of an unstoppable cosmic threat. With a tense atmosphere, "Echoes of the Unknown" delves into humanity's helplessness in the vast emptiness of the universe, forcing us to confront the reality that we are but a small part of something far larger and darker. This collection is a tribute to the themes of H.P. Lovecraft, particularly his exploration of the fear of the unknowable and humanity's powerless position in a vast, mysterious cosmos. Many names, concepts, and elements in these stories are directly inspired by Lovecraft’s work, and I wish to acknowledge his profound influence. This collection is not intended to infringe upon his legacy but to pay homage to the creator of the Cthulhu Mythos, with all due respect. Any similarities to his original works are intentional and are made in the spirit of tribute and admiration...
