The Crescent Lake Cycle: Names That Return

Five boys grew up with nothing. No family. No history. No names. They were orphans — strangers to each other at first, then brothers in every way that mattered. When a kind volunteer gave them names and a brass locket with a faded photograph inside, they finally felt like they belonged somewhere. To each other, if nothing else. But the locket had a history older than any of them knew. And the names they were given were not new. They had been used before. Twenty years later the five men reunite and travel to Crescent House — an abandoned stone manor beside a dark lake three kilometers south of the town where they grew up. A place they have been drawn toward their entire lives without understanding why. A place the town has feared for generations. A place where a family disappeared in 1962 and was never found, leaving behind nothing but an empty dinner table and a brass locket. One night in that house will cost them everything. Something ancient lives in the lake beneath Crescent House. It does not hate them. It does not wish them harm the way a person wishes harm. It simply needs them. It has been preparing for them for twenty years, since before they had names, since before they had each other. It knows their fears and their loves and the exact shape of what each of them cannot bear to lose. And it has been very, very patient. By the time dawn comes, one of them will be gone. The ones who survive will carry what happened in that house for the rest of their lives — in their sleep, in their silence, in the specific way broken people learn to keep walking. But the story does not end with them. Because somewhere in Nainpur, in the same orphanage where five nameless boys once grew up, five new boys have arrived. No family. No history. No names. The cycle is turning again. *Some stories do not end. They return.*

Shining Light In Steel

(A Girls Frontline fanfic) (An import from Wattpad to here in Webnovel) --- Alright, let's see what we have here: - A young man with amnesia. But not just any young man with amnesia, but a supposed 'young man' with amnesia who's comprised of metal, wires, and complex programs. [√] - Suddenly woke up from a cryostasis inside of an old bunker with no explanation whatsoever. [√] - Having no clue what is even going on around him. [√] - Decides to walk out from the said bunker after gathering the scraps left behind by the former inhabitant and embark on his new adventure into the strange new world. [√] Those aspect combined fits well into the typical 'protagonist woke up with amnesia and set out for his journey across the new world and to defeat the main antagonist' kind of story. But unfortunately, this isn't the fantasy world that he's expecting/hoping to woke up into. Instead, he's greeted by the rusty, gritty sight of Earth in the year 2060's. Undead abominable creations caused by 'ELID', rogue robots that kills any living beings on sight, factions consist of ideals & goals, and the political power at play across Europe. With all being said, let's see how this 'young man' could fare against the unforgiving reality of the situation He have put himself into against his own will. Whether a variable like him could truly shine a bright light among the other beacons, to make a different in the brave new world He woke up into, or will the past memories He no longer remember eventually caught onto to him; forcing him into circumstances that question and put his own choices, morality, necessity, and dignity to the test.
