However, he was blinded to the true nature of the ancient land—the Great Lantern. The whole world is terrified of that cursed land, and the only way to save it is to rip it up from the crust and flip it back to Earth! By the schemes of the hidden hands, by the countless hax from the shadows, by the monstrous intention of the darksides, by the strange abilities of Source Wilders, Zamright was controlled, swayed in matters of Nation wealth and many hid behind him silently for their desire to be fulfilled. But with every passing day, he grew stronger and broke from the shackles, gleaned through their insidious nature and countered in the most silent way conceivable, until his Sovereignty was absolute! But the layers of the schemes are older than the stars themselves! ***** Peace Dreamers are waiting for their Messiah. The Ancient Titan Moon was disdestroyed. The arrival of the Messiah. Throne Relic has chosen a new master. Seed of Hope was planted in everyone. "These are the signs of another Great War" Cardinal Of Knowledge sighed, "can we survive again?" even as a knowledge devourer he doesn't have the answer. **** I will be posting the novel on royalroad.come with the same name under Celestial Realm account

THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK: BOOK 1 THE DARK PLANET

While searching for the whereabouts of his missing son William, Boss John learns Will was aboard a MegaCorp Shipping freighter that crash landed somewhere out in a back alley trade route used by pirates, smugglers and rogue mercenary groups. After contacting MegaCorp, John receives the information that a server fire destroyed the investigation records. In a last act of desperation, Johns breaks into a Waylen Yutani subsidiary server and downloads the files of The Hunter Gratzner crash. After narrowly escaping, he found out the ship’s last resting place is M6-117. An obscure moon in a remote binary star system .2 light-years inside the Forbidden Planets region. Returning to his headquarters, Johns opens the redacted file and learns 3 survivors escaped in a small shuttle. Realizing the ship did not break up on entry, Johns believes his son may yet be alive. But now, he has the responsibility of funding a costly mission to M6-117 to search for the survivors. Six months later, John’s employer, Lady Lilith Hemmingford, comes to Johns and offers to fund a private mission that costs a small fortune. The Lady in Black instructs Johns to assemble a trustworthy team, investigate the crash site and relate back what they find. They assign the mission black ops 1 and maintain the strictest secrecy.. Lady Hemmingford’s personal interest in a crash that has no clear financial gain makes Johns suspicious. But having no other options, he taps his two most trusted friends and teammates along with his headstrong 18-year-old niece for the covert mission. A mission he is well aware none of them may return from. During the last mission debrief, Johns informs them they are going to a desert planet in the heart of a binary star system where night falls but once every 22 years. And that all life lives underground. He warns them to stay out of the shadows. Their sole mission is to find the ship, learn everything they can about the accident, and send him the names of the survivors. Unbeknownst to Johns and his team, Lilith Hemmingford has clandestine plans of her own. She gives each member of Johns’s team secretive mission directives, suggesting John's adoptive mother knows far more about the reason behind the crash, as well as what is actually happening on M6-117. Once there, the newly formed team must overcome the debilitating side effects of an unusually long hyper-sleep, come together to fulfill their secret missions before the dark planet reaches up and pulls them down forever. Throughout their chaotic journey, they will come to doubt old loyalties, face bloodthirsty bio-raptors and battle enemies from the past, present and future. 09/23/24- UPDATE - Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know- as part of my learning to be a better writer- this fanfic series is undergoing a genre revision. Horror/Sci Fi. I am also adding a stronger 3rd person omniscient narrator, as well as upping the level of science, tech and mythos. Book 1 revisions are currently underway. This revision will alter plots, sub-plots, character arcs, theme and story direction throughout the entire series. I will also update each subsequent story as time allows. I hope you enjoy the new direction.

Things We Don’t Talk About

——— I woke up to fingers running gently through my hair. At first, I thought I was dreaming, until the lullaby began. Low. Melodic. But wrong. It was that same language I'd heard through the walls, the one that makes your stomach twist and your teeth clench. She sat on the edge of my bed, I can’t see her face; it’s swallowed by the dark. But her hand keeps moving, slow and rhythmic, stroking my hair like she’s lulling something else to sleep. Her eyes are half-closed, swaying as she hums that twisted tune. And then I realize— I forgot to turn off my bedroom light before falling asleep. I kept my breathing slow and shallow, pretending to sleep. limbs screaming to move, to run, but something in me knows: Don’t let her know you’re awake. Don’t move. The singing stops. She sniffles. A choked, trembling sob leaks through her lips. She starts crying quietly, like she’s trying not to be heard. Like she’s afraid. “No...” she whispers, her voice cracking like a child’s. “He still dreams like a child… still soft…” I almost convince myself she’s sleep-talking— Until her hand suddenly tangles in my hair and pulls. I flinched and let out a sharp gasp. "Mama—!" She goes still. Her grip loosened… then shifts. Her fingers wrapped tightly around my trembling arms. Her face inches closer. I can smell her breath,..warm, wrong, too close. Her eyes are wide with terror. Her voice shakes as she hisses: “Don’t say anything." "Don’t say a word anymore.” I was too scared to speak. I couldn't even nod. She held me like that for a long, shuddering moment. Her breath was hot and ragged against my cheek. Her hands were too tight, like if she lets go, I’ll vanish. Her eyes darting around the room. Then, like a switch flipping, she goes completely still. "Mom?" I whispered, so softly it barely made a sound. She was at eye level with me. But she wasn't looking at me. She looked past me. Behind me.... No... no. It’s happening AGAIN. . This is not a safe novel. It's a collection of short, self-contained stories, each chapter unraveling a new descent, a different nightmare. Some stories are brief. Others not so. No heroes. No clean endings. Just answers that should have stayed buried. Read alone if you must. But don't say we didn't warn you. Reader Warning: This series contains psychological horror, disturbing imagery, death, and paranormal themes. Reader discretion is advised. Each chapter is a self-contained story, perfect for short, spine-tingling reads.
