Reflections Of Ruins

Blossom_444
For two years, Aurora Mclaren blamed her exhaustion on insomnia. That lie shattered the morning she woke to find a sharp, geometric bruise scarring her wrist, a mark she was certain she never received. Now, the world around her is beginning to fray. Shadows cling to her when she stands still. Reflections scream silent warnings. And a single, unnerving text message from a blocked number delivers a terrifying truth: The boundary is thinning. Dragged through a mirror and into the Hypnagogia, a twisted, silent reflection of her university campus. Aurora discovers the gold veins blooming beneath her skin give her the power to bend and reshape this glass reality. But such power demands a devastating sacrifice. The Hypnagogia is hunting her, led by The Siphon, a monster born from her own deepest trauma. To survive, Aurora must align herself with a mismatched group of desperate survivors and Ben, the boy she’d secretly loved forever. In a world of uncanny reflections, however, trust is a fatal flaw. Ben is behaving strangely. His touch is too cold, his smile is simply too perfect. Aurora must master the rules of the void before the gold in her veins consumes her humanity entirely. Rule #1: Don’t make a sound. Rule #2: Don’t trust the reflection. Rule #3: Don’t fall in love with the monster wearing your friend's face.**

My Soul Created A System: The Defective Noble

Born into one of the most prestigious noble families of the Eldros Empire, Kael Ashborne should have been a prodigy. Instead, he was branded a defect. Physically weak, plagued by a mysterious illness, and unable to wield power like his gifted siblings, Kael grows up neglected—cast aside by his family, ignored by his teachers, and bullied within the academy. In a world where strength defines worth, weakness is unforgivable. Yet what no one knows is that Kael’s body is not failing him by chance. It is failing because his soul is too strong. On the brink of death at fifteen, Kael’s sealed memories awaken—alongside a damaged system created by his own soul in a previous life. Not a gift from the gods. Not a blessing of fate. But a desperate mechanism born solely to keep him alive. With a body that threatens to collapse under his growing soul and a system that enforces cruel limits, Kael must walk a path slower and more dangerous than any other. Each step forward risks destruction. Each mistake could be fatal. Rejected by blood. Surrounded by enemies. Supported by only a single loyal maid. This is not the rise of a chosen hero. This is the survival of a noble deemed unworthy to exist—and the terrifying truth of what happens when a world mistakes restraint for weakness.
