A Puppet's Journey

Humanity tried to outsmart death. The universe didn’t like that very much. Boom - one allergic reaction later, the world ended. Forty years after the cataclysm, the world is stuck in limbo. People got what they wanted. No one ages. No one dies. But here’s the catch - they can’t give birth either. Evolution hit a full stop. Half the population turned into breathing husks - bodies that move, but no one’s inside. The rest? Burned, twisted, mutated by the chaos we left behind. Humanity became immortal, but far from alive. For forty years, there have been no deaths, no births… just existence. And yet, something is shifting again. In the ruins of history, hidden hands are moving. Secrets are surfacing. The balance that has held for decades is about to break - and the world will feel the changes, a little too well. What To Expect: This isn’t a story that rushes. It’s a slow‑burn mystery‑odyssey that follows Kshaya - a man trapped between duty and decay - as he begins a journey that’s as spiritual as it is physical. The story takes place in a world that has long since stopped moving forward. Humanity left behind death, but also life. What remains is a strange new order where most have forgotten what it means to change. You can expect a lot of atmosphere - abandoned places, living landscapes, and quiet conversations that hide countless secrets. It’s a mix of science‑fiction and mythology, with touches of eldritch mystery woven through. Some scenes will feel familiar, others unsettlingly alien. Everything will connect eventually, even if it doesn’t seem like it at first. If you enjoy stories built like puzzles - where scattered pieces slowly form a whole - this one’s for you. The pace starts gentle, but the deeper you go, the more the world and its forgotten truths begin to unfold. The mystery and the journey will come before anything else. I usually enjoy worldbuilding in my writings, but this time I will balance out my likes for aspects I feel are more crucial to the story, to make it a better experience.

Until Dusk Protocol

At the heart of a wish lies an attempt at completion, a human desire to become our true and final selves. Wishes are fuelled by regrets and are bound eternally to the past, serving as approximations of what once was. We all experience regret and nostalgia, leading us to make wishes and find despair, but can we become our true selves despite this all? That's where the story of a girl who struggles to control her desires begins... Two souls sharing the same body and memory are living in Kyoto 2031. Tang-Ji Shizukesa, a girl who's grown up in her previous life with a hardcore passion for gaming, is now a bookworm in her new life who has no interest in video games. Along with her, Kazami and Hoyeon, the three childhood friends who separated 7 years ago due to an accident, have now been reunited again in a VRMMORPG game known as Dusk Protocol. The game has a unique combat system known as "Leere," a physical manifestation of an individual soul that can be conjured into deadly weapons. As Tang-Ji navigates this virtual world, she confronts the echoes of her past and the dissonance between her former self and her present identity. How will she cope with the rediscovery of a life she thought she left behind? How will Kazami and Hoyeon react to the new Tang-Ji? In a world where reality is malleable and death is just a click of a button away, the boundaries between past and present blur, forcing everyone to grapple with the truth of who they truly are.
