    In the far future, humans have left Earth behind in search of a new home after climate change, war, and destruction have left it uninhabitable. Believing that Earth can one day be restored to its original beauty, the ones that abandoned their natural bodies to help the planet's restoration were called remainers. For hundreds of years, the remainers spent their time slowly helping the Earth return to their former glory. In this land where humans have not walked for centuries, two remainers discover a young boy in cryosleep deep beneath the Earth. How will this child, alone in a world with no other humans, come to live on this strange planet?

    Kih is a scholar from the Glauchi civilization, one of the many peoples who inhabit the Rock: a vast expanse of caves and tunnels where the only source of light is the Elovalgys, the stone of life. This resource is capable of producing light and heat, but it can only be found in veins deep underground and rapidly depletes, leading to a continuous cycle of wars and conflicts to seize the most productive mines. The constant darkness is not a problem for a species that has been accustomed to it for millennia, but a new kind of darkness takes root in Kih's mind the moment he receives news of his late brother's death. The loneliness is total, the melancholy oppressive, and only the spark of one last academic assignment in the remote Nugared caves on the edge of the Great Chimney allows his last embers of hope to burn a little longer. A long and perilous journey ensues, an ascent contrary to the flow of Mother Gravity in pursuit of a glimmer of wonder as feeble as a firefly in the void and yet laden with a promise beyond all imagination and deepest darkness.

    yahnya mati. Hidupnya runtuh. Dan dunia yang dulu terasa sederhana kini berubah menjadi labirin pertanyaan yang tidak punya pintu keluar. Di antara bau tanah makam yang masih menempel di ingatan dan rutinitas toko buku tua yang makin hari makin terasa seperti penjara, ia mulai mempertanyakan segalanya: Tuhan, pendidikan, masa depan, arti menjadi manusia bahkan dirinya sendiri. Hingga suatu malam hujan, seorang perempuan asing muncul di depan pintu toko buku. Basah, dingin, penuh rahasia - dan hidup seperti sedang menantang kematian. Namanya Yulia. Cantik, rusak, dan berbahaya karena ia menawarkan satu hal yang tak pernah dimiliki siapa pun dalam hidupnya: Sebuah alasan untuk merasa hidup meski caranya salah. Namun keduanya perlahan sadar: Jika mereka saling mendekat, salah satu pasti hancur. Pertanyaannya: siapa duluan?

    If heaven lay in blissful ignorance would you live in Hell? It's the end of the world, or at least that's what the strange protesters in the Sumar University quad are claiming. Xavier Micheals has heard one too many apocalypse prediction to let talk of the rapture scare him, but he cannot deny that something strange has settled onto the campus, if not the entire world. Strange occurrences start small, like a trashed lecture hall. Soon though, mysterious suited agents have descended upon the campus. Not to mention the strange boy who lives in the library, and the weird behaviour of his two closest friends. Something is going on, and Xavier feels as if he is the only one asking questions. Little does he know, he is in the eye of the coming storm. A tale of free will, Paradise Made is a twisted look at biblical mythology.

    this book explores the thought-provoking question of whether god created humans or humans created god. taking the stance that god is a human creation, it delves into psychological, philosophical, and cultural perspectives-highlighting how fear, imagination, and the need for meaning shaped the idea of a divine being. the piece blends insights from neuroscience, mythology, and existentialism to argue that god may be the most powerful concept ever invented by the human mind.

    For ages, the undying gods ruled over existence. And so they became lost in their own desires, forgetting the humans below. Their pride allowed them to cherish only what was eternal, while mortal humans seemed worthless in their eyes. But what happens when, amid the clamor of human life and the gods' perfect bliss, a god and a mortal finally stand face to face?

    17-year-old Mae has decided that life is meaningless after her mother passed away. When she moves to California with her single father, her friends give her a summer bucket list. Afraid to start her senior year completely alone, Mae decides to complete the list, hoping for it to bring her out of her shell. When Mae meets someone willing to help her complete the bucket list, it leads to a pretentious friendship. They become closer, as they find that both of them share the same belief that life is ultimately meaningless. Until she realizes that he seems to have a different perspective on it. While Mae is somewhat reluctant about what he tries to show her about life, she can't help but have it start to rub off on her. Mae realizes that while his absurdist views on life were slowly impacting her, her nihilistic, hopeless view on life was also influencing him. Will their relationship turn out to be as doomed as their beliefs?

    She never asked to lead. She never wanted to be followed. Now, across countless worlds, they call her goddess. In the wake of cataclysm, a reluctant figure rises from the ashes of war. Linuka-soldier, survivor, symbol-becomes the unexpected catalyst for something unprecedented: a belief system that spans not just worlds, but entire realities. As her image ascends, so does a movement-one that grows into the first true multiversal religion. You don't need to have read the Galacticide trilogy to begin here. But you're stepping into a universe decades in the making-rich with history, conflict, and consequence. This is a new beginning, and a bold saga in its own right: the rise, rule, and eventual unraveling of an idea powerful enough to unite, or destroy, all that remains. Goddess of the Galacticide blends space opera with psychological drama, mythology, and political warfare on a cosmic scale. Whether you're just arriving or have walked these ruined galaxies before-welcome. The next age begins now.

    Thus it begins! Godless Artists is currently a book I am writing on how the works we create and the progress we make as artists are inherently much more worthwhile than if these works were predetermined or if our talents were gifted by an omniscient overseer. Hopefully this will turn out the way I wish and I can articulate my thesis efficiently.

    A nightmare I've long dreaded has finally come to pass. The day I was left alone in this empty world began when my father died a week ago in a work accident. Meanwhile, my mom had been gone for a long time due to illness. I was a spoiled child, but this didn't change the fact that I now had nobody to rely on.

    Get ready. To dismantle the firmest threads of your existence... As you descend into the roots you once wove and still defend-just to survive functionally. To finally look, acknowledge, and confront the existential fatigue you carry with you day after day... Because this book is not a guide, nor an answer. It is a parenthesis that doesn't come to comfort you. It is a fracture. A lucid journey through the invisible machinery in which you move. A kind of writing that doesn't seek to redeem you-but to stop you, abruptly. Aion watches in silence, knowing that the noise within you is louder than the world outside. Void walks beside you, whispering the questions you never dared to ask. And Vita pulses underneath it all-waiting for the moment you choose to feel, not just function. It may even lead you to the despair of what you already knew but refused to face; to that place where the meaning of life dissolves, when everything becomes mere function. Because functioning became your way of being in the world. And in that mode, the body endures-but does not dwell. Language fills-but does not communicate. Time runs-but leaves no trace. But this book might bring you to a threshold. Not to make you fall, but to make you pause. Because it's not a book that pushes you into the void-it is a vitalist book. Because sometimes, thinking is the only way to feel alive. To contemplate. To question. To look again into the face of life. And perhaps, from there, you'll discover other possibilities. I write this because I know I can share something real-something that once awakened me. Because I believe there is something in you that hasn't fully gone out. Something that suspects... this way of living isn't really life. And if that spark lights up-even for just one second- it might change you completely. Let's find out.
