Halle is his greatest obsession, his one weakness, and his fiercest desire. And Zade has made his choice: no matter how far she runs, he will hunt her, take her, and remind her that she belongs to him—body, heart, and name.

This story from Pokémon universe is slow burner without any system, has multiple characters built around a family and takes place in made-up region in Pokémon world, which is based on Czechia. Do not expect the main character(s) to win every fight, it's not gonna happen. There will be fights, there will be characters from the series, and the heroes will visit places from the anime. Do not expect 18+ scenes, but there will be some references. For now, I plan weekly release of new chapters. Note: There are many fanmade Pokémon novels, where the protagonist is ridiculously overpowered, goes through all problems with hands in his/her pockets and wins every fight. They have no real relationships with their friends, families or even Pokémon, but they are just hollow puppets existing to win. Also they tend to catch the legendaries and mythical creatures disgustingly easily. Moreover, the various systems are lame and take much of the tension away from story. How can character who is a trainer for two days win over someone who is training for several years/decades? Nothing like this will be featured in this story. Disclaimer: This is a fanfiction. The author did not create and does not own the Pokémon world or anything connected to it. Also all similarities to real places or persons are pure coincidence. The author is not english native speaker and apologies for any grammar mistakes in advance.

(NEW CHAPTER EVERY SATURDAY) The Dimensions Universe is simply chaotic. Love, Betrayal, Planetary genocide are just a few of the things happening. The storyline is rich, original, deep and is ongoing.

What if the thoughts in your head aren't actually yours? Picture this: someone's losing their mind trying to save the person they love most. There's a voice on the phone—cold, synthetic, playing games. Riddles with impossible answers. A countdown ticking toward something unthinkable. They're racing through traffic, heart pounding, memories surfacing like shrapnel. Every decision feels urgent. Every emotion feels real. But here's the thing that'll keep you up at night: None of it was supposed to work. The riddles? Designed to have no right answer. The call? Never meant to save anyone. The choices? An illusion wrapped in desperation. And that voice on the other end—the one pulling strings with such cruel precision? They have no idea someone's pulling theirs too. See, while our victim is breaking down, convinced their panic is their own, and while the tormentor is getting off on their power, drunk on control... There's someone else. Sitting in a dark office. Watching both of them on different screens. Smiling at how perfectly the pieces are moving. The victim can't see their strings. The tormentor can't feel the hand moving them. And that's the whole point. This is a story about control so deep it controls the controllers. About how every emotion you think is genuine—love, fear, guilt, even the sick thrill of having power over someone—might just be responses someone programmed into you before you even knew you existed. About the possibility that free will is just a story we tell ourselves while we follow invisible scripts. One person thinks they're fighting for survival. Another thinks they're the puppet master. But both are dancing. And neither of them chose the music. Because real control doesn't look like chains. It looks like freedom. It feels like choice. It sounds like your own voice in your head. Until you realize it was never yours at all.

A soft, slow, quietly intense story about two people who stumble into something that feels strangely right… long before they understand why. It starts in a quiet hospital room—where a tired son meets the nurse who brightens his mother’s fading days, and something unspoken begins to shift between them. A single dinner leads to a flurry of feelings neither of them are ready for. A misunderstanding turns into distance. A late-night conversation reveals more than either meant to say. As family pressures, lingering fears, and unexpected declarations pull them closer—and sometimes push them apart—they both begin to realize that some connections feel as though they were always meant to happen. But neither of them knows what to call it yet.

Thousands of years after the fall of civilization, fragments of ancient light awaken once more. In the ruins of forgotten science and myth, a young girl inherits the name Valtherion—and the burden of mankind’s first rebellion against the unknown.

In the depths of a Tokyo laboratory, seventeen-year-old genius Sekitanki Hankō suru hito has everything—awards, recognition, respect—yet feels utterly hollow. His groundbreaking discovery of stable temporal distortions promises to revolutionize physics, but for him, it's just another achievement that fails to fill the void consuming him from within. When the world's first time machine activates, Sekitanki volunteers as its pilot, seeking not glory but meaning—something, anything to make him feel alive. His destination: the Carboniferous Period, 359 million years before humanity's existence. Within minutes of arrival, disaster strikes. A centipede the size of a train car destroys his only way home, leaving him stranded in an alien world where dragonflies have six-meter wingspans, millipedes move like living tanks, and scorpions hunt in coordinated swarms. Armed with nothing but his intellect and desperation, Sekitanki must transform from isolated prodigy into savage survivor. As weeks blur into nightmares of blood and chitin, he crafts weapons from the bones of his kills, cauterizes his own infected flesh, and battles prehistoric apex predators with improvised technology that shouldn't exist. Each fight strips away another layer of civilization, revealing something harder beneath—the stubborn human will to survive at any cost. But survival alone isn't enough. Haunted by memories of the family he abandoned and the emptiness that drove him to this desperate escape, Sekitanki begins rebuilding his time machine from impossible materials. His goal: return home and finally understand what matters. Yet when his improvised device finally activates, corrupted temporal coordinates throw him not to modern Tokyo, but to feudal Japan's Kamakura Period—an era of samurai, honor, and human violence more terrifying than any prehistoric monster. CARBONIFEROUS SCIENCE is a dark shōnen epic blending emotional devastation with brutal survival action, exploring genius, depression, and what it truly means to fight for something beyond yourself.

When the strange disease called The Syndrome spread around the world, only a small number of people lived through it, and none of them were human. People who lived woke up with impossible powers, and people split into two groups: those who saw the event as divine and those who used it as a weapon. A man named Morgan Paxton rose to what the world called "The Perfect Human" in the ashes of a world torn apart by holy wars. But as the Syndrome grew stronger, it created a cosmic being known as the Almighty, a false god that feeds on blind faith. And Morgan's father was the shepherd who led people to their destruction. Murphy Paxton, a kind pastor on the outside, had the mind of a snake behind his smile. He was manipulative, brilliant, and terrifyingly charming. He used the Syndrome to create a religion of fear and hope that gave power to the very thing that would destroy the world. In the end, Morgan found out the truth: The Syndrome was not divine. It was a design for an old machine made to collect faith itself. As the entity that claimed to be God took over the world, Morgan was transported back in time to a point before the first outbreak. Morgan comes back in the body of a younger man, armed with knowledge of the future, inhuman instincts, and one goal: "I'll do whatever it takes to stain my hands with every sin. But I'll never let this world bow down to a false god again." But the man he used to call father is his biggest problem. Murphy, still dressed like a humble pastor, has already started to build the faith that will soon rule the world. Morgan sees the snake waiting to strike behind every kind word. It is a manipulator who turns hope into chains and worship into weapons. In this second timeline, one man wants to save people by making his soul dirty, and the other wants to rule them with a god of lies. The father represents Faith, while the son embodies Truth. The battle pits one monster against another. And only one will change the course of history.

Celine Holmes was nine the day her world ended. One moment, she was laughing in the back seat of her father’s car, excited for her birthday trip. The next time, she woke up in a hospital bed, broken, with a bandage on her head and legs, and alone. Her parents vanished from the face of the earth. She knew instantly that life would never remain the same again. After her recovery, she was sent to a foster home, where a wealthy couple, Mr and Mrs Klein, took her in. They called her a blessing as they welcomed her with open arms and promised her a new beginning. For a while, she believed them. She thought maybe this time, she could belong again. But good things never lasted long in Celine’s life. Mr Klein lost his job, and his kindness turned into cruelty. He drank too much, gambled too often, and blamed her for every misfortune that had befallen him and his family. The family that once smiled at her began to turn. His sons, now nineteen, looked at her differently, not with brotherly affection, but with a lustful gaze. When she resisted them, their cruelty deepened. And whenever Mr Klein lost to a gamble, he took it out on Celine. Then one day, everything changed again. Mr Klein’s gambling caught up to him. The man he owed was no ordinary creditor; he was Cassian Damien, a feared mafia boss with a reputation for collecting debts in blood. When Cassian came for his payment, Mr Klein offered the only thing he had left: Celine. She overheard the deal and tried running. But you can’t outrun the kind of man who sees three steps ahead. Cassian came for her unexpectedly and took her away. He locked her away, not as a wife, but as a slave meant to satisfy his dark desires. But Cassian didn’t expect her to be the fire to his cold heart. Her defiance. Her refusal to break. And against his will, something in him began to change, trying to win her affection. Luciana, his ex, was the first to notice the way he looked at her. The way he hesitated in dishing out her punishment was unlike anything he had done before. Jealousy turned to fury, and she began to scheme. In the middle of it all, Cassian’s younger brother, Alexandro, returns. He was softer, kinder, and drawn to the same girl Cassian couldn’t let go of. In a world ruled by violence and vengeance, Celine was caught between two brothers, haunted by her past, and desired by the mafia rivals who also wanted to claim her for her beauty and spirit. But the soft girl was gone; she wanted revenge and freedom. Would she use Cassian's obsession to get what she desired, or would she be ruined by it?

Earth fell long before Auron Drex was born. By the time he turned nineteen, the skies were brown, the air filtered through broken machines, and humanity had retreated underground, outnumbered, outgunned, and slowly fading. Auron was one of the last unmodified humans, no implants, no neural lace, no connection to the system. Just blood, flesh, memory, and a little bit of fight left in him. Then he died. Killed in an invasion with the machines, Auron thought that was the end. But something else was waiting for him. The Goddess of Death. She offered him a contract. A second chance at life, a new world far from Earth, and one simple promise: when the time came, he would help her. No explanation. Just a bond, sealed in death and carried into life. Now, Auron wakes in a world nothing like his own. A cultivation realm, where beasts roam free, ancient sects dominate the mountains, and humans wield godlike power through spiritual force and brutal discipline. It’s a world where strength decides everything, and weakness is an invitation to die again. But he’s not alone. The Goddess of Death, bound to his soul, follows him, watching, guiding. He doesn’t know her true reason for bringing him here. He doesn’t understand what help she’ll need or when. But he remembers Earth. He remembers the silence. And if there’s a chance this journey will give him the strength to return, to fight back against what destroyed his home, he’ll take it. He was forged in a dying world. Reborn in one that lives by the sword. And somewhere between them, Auron Drex will carve out who he’s meant to become. —— It’s very important you join the discord server.

The other, stripped of faith in redemption, chooses to become the Villain, seeking to cleanse the rot by burning it all down. As their paths intertwine, ideals collide and truths blur.
