Ilham: The Gaze of the Inner Child
By @محمد داهم
In the quaint world of Ilham, where familial bonds weave the fabric of society, lives Ilham, Muhammad's wife's unassuming sister. She harbors a bewildering secret: an empathic gaze that strips away the layers of adulthood, revealing the purest, most vulnerable "inner child" within everyone she encounters. This isn't just a sight; it's a cheat that can melt grievances, mend broken trusts, and even soothe the most hardened hearts, often by making people revert to innocent, childlike states of openness. But this profound gift comes with a heavy burden. Ilham must navigate a world brimming with hidden resentments and complex adult struggles, where her "innocent" insights can sometimes expose raw truths people aren't ready to face. Her journey is to understand the true power of her perception and to learn if innocence can truly heal, or if it merely highlights the deepest wounds, risking social chaos or personal heartbreak.

forbidden pacts
By @Vee
The rain over Sector 4 didn't wash the city clean; it just made the neon bleed. Ren, a gentle soul haunted by a profound loss, clings to the shadows, his silver flask a meager comfort against the city's grim reality and the hollow ache in his chest. Across the street, the holographic billboard for a luxury high-rise flickers, a cruel mockery of his desperate existence. When a desperate whisper from the ancient Twin Realm breaches the modern sprawl, offering him a fragment of supernatural, primordial power, Ren seizes it. This forbidden pact, however, draws the attention of shadowy entities awakening in the dark. With each use, the line between his soul and the ancient force blurs, threatening to consume him and tear the fragile veil between realms, all for the ghost of a love he can't let go.

The Most Powerful Man
By @Ameer Hamza
Chen Hao was a forgotten orphan, discarded by a world that valued power above all else. But fate, or perhaps something more sinister, intervened. A cryptic 'Dominion System' awakens within him, not bestowing mythical spells, but granting unparalleled shares in global corporations, control over media empires, and influence within the deepest echelons of government. Yet, this power comes with a chilling price: to maintain his dominion, Chen Hao must constantly expand his influence, ruthlessly eliminating any who challenge his silent control. As whispers of a shadowy 'Council of Sovereigns' emerge, manipulating global events from behind the scenes, Chen Hao must navigate a treacherous game of power. He strives to uncover the truth behind his system and his own past, all while ensuring his newly acquired empire doesn't crumble, crushing him beneath its weight.
