Mind Stories

𝙍𝙞𝙨𝙚...𝙤𝙧 𝙗𝙚 𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧. - Oasis Awards 3rd place - Upon nearing adulthood, citizens of Aegia face the choice to risk it all. For some, it's all about the glory, and living up to their family name. For others, it's an offer of security, of knowing where their next meal is coming from. And so they make the choice to enroll in one of several Academies, where they are taught the ancient texts, the history of the realm, and the sacred runes handed down by the gods themselves. At the end of their time there, they face a series of tests to be sorted into two castes: 𝗔𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀, the elite rulers, advance to the top positions in their field, deciding what is built, what is destroyed, where taxes go...and who lives and dies. And 𝘀𝘆𝗹𝗿𝗮, the servants bound by magic to their Aelaris. Seen as little more than an appendage and status symbol, they spend their days following their Aelaris and living for their demands, completely devoted and content in their role. The bond is considered sacred. It prevents the Aelaris from ever harming their sylra while ensuring the sylra is happy to serve. It is the Rite of Ascension that determines who belongs where, a process that measures worth and potential, through the power of the gods. Rian Argon-son has always believed he was destined to join the ranks of the Aelaris, working tirelessly to prove himself worthy. Meanwhile his nemesis Ileana, born into wealth and privilege, has always seen herself as a true heir to power. Their rivalry has simmered in all their time at the Academy, and now the final testing is upon them. They may be both top of their class, but ultimately the Rite of Ascension will decide everything. Both have prepared. Neither are ready. Cover by @Merlyn_Fereira

A book meant to be an eternal memory in our hearts forever.

"In this decaying world, they pale in comparison to you." When top-tier predator Jiang Fengyue transmigrates into the Wizarding World, salvation is the last thing on his mind. He has only one goal: total domination. Clad in the guise of a Malfoy, he spins an intricate web of fortune and authority from the shadows. Yet, unbeknownst to him, he has already entangled himself in another's snare. From a throne built upon countless bones, the Dark Lord watches him with unyielding intensity. What begins as cold scrutiny shifts to cruel amusement, before finally warping into a maddened obsession to crush him utterly and possess him completely. Jiang is a master tamer, used to subjugating beasts; He is the world's most feral and paranoid monster. There is no salvation, only a joint descent into the abyss. In this violent game of psychological chess dubbed "Love," the price of survival is surrendering one's heart.

What if coincidence is not random? Kai Mercer is just a quiet student who sits at the last bench. Invisible. Ordinary. Forgettable. But something about reality begins to behave differently around him. A broken piece of chalk at the exact moment he thinks about it. A ceiling fan that subtly slows when he predicts it. A clock that skips seconds without reason. A coin that refuses to follow probability. At first, it feels like coincidence. Then it becomes consistent. Because something is watching. Something is measuring. And something just labeled him: Subject K. As the events grow stronger, Kai realizes a terrifying truth-his thoughts might not just predict reality... they might be influencing it. But he is not alone in this system. There are rules he cannot see. Observers he cannot identify. And limits he cannot cross. Every prediction changes something. Every thought has a cost. And the deeper he goes into the pattern of probability, the more reality starts to respond like a system... with him inside it. A psychological mystery blending science, suspense, and the illusion of free will. Because sometimes... coincidence is just the first signal of control.

_ما يكون في الداخل غير ألعاب الحاضر، اللعبة بدأت ولم يشعر بها أحد، ومتى تنتهي؟ حين تجد النفس أنفاسها، وتحنّ الروح إلى كيانها. وسط الأبيض تناثر القرمزي معلناً على العودة، لإيجاد نفسها غير الكثير، اختفاؤه كان الكثير.. هم أرادوا رأسها، لكنها رجعت تريد انتقاماً، تريد فقط الجواب عن سؤال.. من هي؟! قد يكون الجواب شخصاً لا نعرفه ولا يعرفه الجميع، لكنه يعرفنا، ورجل يقبع بين الظلام مصدر الأمان، تعلن على وجوده غير رائحة رجولية تجوب الأنحاء وتخنق الأرواح. من يرى وجهه يُقتل، ومن يريده حلفاً يموت، هو ذلك الرجل إذا دخل تركع له أجساد كي لا يُقتلوا! سؤالها جعل أحداثاً تطرق أيام الجميع بحثاً عن جواب، بل بحثاً عن نفسها. لحظة! قد يكون بجانبك! تحت مبدأ: _"NEVER TRUST, NEVER GIVE FUC TRUST."

A short series of sonnets telling the tale of a life's burdens, aches, and ups and downs.

This is my coping mechanism. I love poetry and feel like it's the only anchor for me some days. I thank those who have me strength to share. I write about Trauma and dark moments of my life so if those aren't for you neither is this.

These poems and entries are my way of releasing those emotions out of me. Emotions I go through, and I know that people could relate to me so I'm deciding to publish them for anyone who wants a personal reading that could even help you. So this is me, Grace Crilly.

The so- called "crooked street", actually called Oak Street, is the heart of the slum. It teems with beggars, the homeless and above all, children. Many children never reach the adulthood, dying of starvation, exposure, or murder. Only a few manage to survive through illegal activities, theft, cruelty, independent thinking and resourcefulness. One of these children is Mio. He has lived on the streets since his father's death seven years ago and is an important member of the... well, the organisation doesn't have a name yet, but... let's just call it "Gray alliance". Gray, so to speak, represents both sides of the coin. A person cannot be completely evil, as in stories, just as no one can be perfect. Therefore, life largely consists of shades of gray. It's the same in this organisation. It's almost entirely secretive, since it doesn't necessarily adhere to the law. Aldea, the founder, prefers to call them all secret spies. As a cover, the members formed a brass band so they could hold important "meetings" without arousing suspicion. Mio has even learned to convey messages through melody while playing the violin. Unfortunately, no one understands him...

One year ago, a murder went unsolved. No witnesses. No suspects. No answers. Until now. When a girl who sold her memories begins to experience strange, impossible flashes, she finds herself pulled into a mystery no one else seems to remember. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more one question refuses to leave her- If she wasn't there... then why does it feel like she knows exactly what happened?
