Genre: Supernatural Horror | Psychological Thriller
📖 Brief Description:
When James, a down-on-his-luck graduate, finds an unbelievably cheap apartment in Lagos, he thinks he's stumbled on a miracle. But from the moment he moves into Apartment 3B, everything begins to unravel.
The windows don't reflect.
Footsteps echo above - on the top floor.
And each night at 3:17 a.m., someone knocks... but no one is ever there.
As James digs into the building's past, he uncovers a terrifying truth:
The apartment complex was built on a colonial-era mass grave, and the dead never left.
Now, the walls whisper, the shadows move on their own, and something ancient beneath the foundation is waking up - one tenant at a time.
Trapped in a decaying building that distorts time, memory, and reality, James must uncover the rules of survival... before he becomes part of the building himself. The Echo In The Attic
Horror
"The Echo in the Attic" plunges readers into a gripping psychological thriller where the tranquility of an isolated colonial manor twists into a chilling nightmare. Meet Adira, a driven architect, desperate for solitude to complete her career-defining project. She rents the grand, ostensibly peaceful Briarwood Manor, nestled in a remote Nigerian village, dismissing local whispers of its "peculiar history" as quaint folklore.
But the silence Adira craves is soon broken by faint, disembodied sounds emanating from the house's attic. Initially dismissed as the creaks of an old building, these "echoes" grow clearer, more distinct-a child's giggle, a woman's sigh, fragmented whispers that repeat like a broken record: "Is he home?" "Where did you go?"
As the echoes intensify, blurring the line between sound and shared memory, Adira's meticulous world unravels. Her sanity begins to fray under the weight of unseen presences and an overwhelming sense of being watched. Driven by a desperate need for answers, she delves into the manor's shadowed past, unearthing dark secrets and a tragedy that history tried to bury.
"The Echo in the Attic" is a slow-burn descent into terror, exploring the fragile nature of perception and the terrifying possibility that some houses don't just hold secrets-they replay them, endlessly, for those who dare to listen. Will Adira escape the Briarwood with her mind intact, or will she become another echo in its ancient, haunted walls?

SomeGuy Darkness in Disguise
In the year 2451, humanity's last stand clings to life within the Ember Kingdom, a fragile beacon against a world devoured by Cosmic Trees. These monstrous botanical growths erupted 2452 years ago, offering a perilous choice: unimaginable power or a horrific transformation into mindless, superpowered zombies. These ravenous creatures now roam the shattered earth, their hunger insatiable.
Meet Malcolm, an 18-year-old with striking white hair and piercing, cat-like red eyes. Driven by a desire to see the world beyond Ember's walls and to protect his family, he volunteers for the army-a desperate gamble where soldiers must consume a Cosmic Fruit. With only a 40% chance of retaining one's sanity, the alternative is a swift execution by comrades.
Malcolm chooses the Dark Eater, a fruit rumored to grant the power to consume cosmic entities and their zombie offspring, absorbing their strength and essence. As he bites into it, a surge of overwhelming energy courses through him, battling for control. Just as he fears the darkness will claim him, it coalesces, becoming a part of his very being.
From the swirling energy emerges Sara, a green-skinned fairy with flowing blue hair and intelligent red eyes. "My name is Sara, Master," she chirps, her voice like wind chimes. "I will help you with anything." The army leader, a man hardened by years of battle, hands Malcolm a key. "You've made it, son. Sara will help you understand your gifts."
With Sara by his side, Malcolm discovers the true extent of the Dark Eater's power. A shimmering, RPG-like menu appears, revealing his ability to consume anything, absorb its power, and even shapeshift into it, partially or fully. As he fights and learns, he'll gain XP to unlock new abilities, each step bringing him closer to understanding the vast, terrifying power now intertwined with his destiny. The world is a graveyard, but for Malcolm, it's also a training ground, a place where the line between monster and savior blurs, and darkness might just be his greatest disguise.
