Echoes of a Dark Reflection

Caelum13
John is a struggling writer whose every late-night keystroke brings him closer to realizing his long-simmering fantasy. Amid the pressure of looming rejection and whispered doubts from those around him, he crafts the poignant tale of Elio—a heroic, magic-wielding boy burdened with a tragic destiny. One fateful night, after weary hours spent fueling his ambition with endless coffee and frustration, John nods off in front of his screen. When he awakens, searing pain and shattered memories reveal a horrifying truth: his body is no longer his own. Now trapped in the fragile, wounded shell of Elio—a child’s body scarred by battle and burdened with ancient, haunting memories—John finds himself thrust into the very world he created. The lines between writer and character blur as he confronts flashes of a past he never lived: a village engulfed in flames, accusations that sting like slashed armor, and the inexorable pull of a destiny that binds him to magic and myth. As an elderly woman with mysterious healing powers tends to him, John—or rather, Elio—realizes that he must navigate this perilous realm where every sensation is more vivid, every emotion more raw than he ever imagined. With the weight of forgotten prophecies and imminent danger pressing upon him, he is forced to face the ultimate question: can he rewrite the narrative of a life that was never meant to be his, and in doing so, save not only the child hero he has become but also the part of himself he left behind in the waking world?

Interstellar Beast Master

Chosen by a Beast. Forged by rage. In a world where monsters wear human skin, a fox fell from the stars, and a killer rose from the ruins. "They said it was an accident, I say it is unfinished business!"- Damian Light --- On his wedding day, they killed his soon-to-be wife. He watched a drunken Interstellar Beast Master and his Beast rip apart those he knew as if they were paper. But the next day, everything was covered up. They were told that it was all an accident. No matter what he did, he was told again and again that it was just an accident. An accident with casualties that occurred while a heroic Beast Master was saving people in the line of duty and there were just a few casualties. But he was there, he saw the glee of the drunken Beast Master as he and its creature rampaged! But in Vael’nir, a world where Interstellar Beast Masters were considered Guardians who protected the masses from Entropic Beasts and Vagrant Beast Masters, getting any justice or revenge for his wife and her family was going to be an impossibility. What could he, a weak human do against the terrifying Interstellar Beast Masters- some who were so powerful that they participated in wars in space and could travel to neighboring Colony Planets with their bodies alone? He only had his rage and anger as he memorized the face of the Interstellar Beast Master that destroyed everything he held. He was powerless to do anything until one day…a light fell from the skies and hit him, and he found a small six-tailed fox curled around his body when he woke up. A Beast. A Beast unlike any others he had ever heard of before. And just maybe…a possibility for revenge!
