Night

"These are pretty minuscule spies, my lord," The leader said into his comms. They chattered among themselves. We had our hands up when they surrounded us. My throat clogged and I was running out of oxygen. I could barely think or breath. Mister Wigglesworth was talking briskly with bulging eyes to the colossal men and a rifle was lodged in his throat, he seemed frail and agitated. "Mort!" He threw the parcel into his hands. Mort winced when he failed to catch it. The box malfunctioned and I screamed at the blast and fell back into the shelter of more craters. I gasped. "What do I do with this?" His hand fidgeted on the and he dived behind a crate beside me while lasers flew. He panted and glanced at me holding on to the parcel. There was a skirmish going on. "I think I got hit." .... Remember when homicidal aliens were attacking us? This was now, yeah, it was kind of my fault. We were crouching like a couple of cowardly war veterans on a battlefield and Mister Wigglesworth! Of all people was out there holding them off. Mort held on to the prism parcel. My eyes were pale. I got hit by the parcel. I held on to my stomach. "Are you okay? Can you sit up straight?" He said. "No, it hurts," I did not feel like myself at all. I was not even in the mood to make snappy comebacks, I kept seeing double and all these color spectrums like I stared at the sun for too long. I was phasing in and out of consciousness. I thought I saw planets dying. I ducked over the end and focused on breath. [ System Activated ]

In the isolated village of Bellgrave, nineteen-year-old Elias Vale has always lived an ordinary life. Until the night everyone dies. At exactly midnight, the village bell rings thirteen times, shadows swallow the streets, and every person in Bellgrave is killed by an unseen horror. Elias watches his mother and everyone he loves perish before waking the next morning to find them alive again. No one remembers the massacre. But Elias does. As midnight comes again and again, Elias desperately searches for a way to save the villagers. His attempts reveal that Bellgrave is trapped in an ancient supernatural loop, and every death is connected to the mysterious church bell and the forbidden forest surrounding the village. Then he meets Lyra Veyne—a strange girl who remembers the deaths too. Together, they uncover a terrifying truth: Bellgrave is not merely cursed. For centuries, the village has served as a prison for an ancient entity known as the Sleeper. The nightly deaths are the price keeping it imprisoned. Elias's strange ability, Echo, allows him to carry memories and skills from one cycle into the next, making him stronger with every death. But every change he makes to the future costs him a precious memory of his former life. As Elias and Lyra grow closer, he discovers that she has endured the loop for 117 years—and was destined to become its final sacrifice. When the night finally refuses to reset, the Sleeper begins to awaken. To save Bellgrave, Elias must choose between the woman he loves and the world.

In an alternative universe wars are taking place between humans and ghouls. A thousand years ago, humans built a siege to keep the ghouls trapped inside and stop them from attacking human villages. Fifty years ago, the siege cracked, and ghouls flooded the human world, destroying many cities. They disguise themselves as humans or animals when they infiltrate cities. Then, they reveal their true forms, attack, and burn everything to the ground. Scientists built a barrier system to keep ghouls out, and governments trained warriors to use high-tech devices to fight them. The strongest group of warriors, who fought bravely for the last decade, are called the Knights of Askalan. They fought the battle that took place ten years ago, protecting their city from ghouls, and are now the heroes and protectors of the city. Ali is a 21-year-old fresh graduate. On the day of his graduation, he was having fun with his friends and taking pictures during the ceremony when ghouls attacked from the sea. Somehow they broke the barrier. His friends were killed while trying to escape. He went to check on his family, but two of his brothers had been killed while defending his mother and younger sister, and his father was injured. He tried to get them to safety amid the chaos, but they were trapped. So, he decided to sacrifice himself, leading the ghouls away from his family. The ghouls surrounded him and attacked one by one. Just as he thought he was finished, a system screen appeared, giving him a choice: start over the day with new armor or carry on and die.

Nathaniel "Nate" Cole once designed skylines. Now he guards one at night, a security badge instead of a license, after his partner Preston Vale framed him for a bribe he never took and stole both his practice and his name. Working nights in the Meridian, the Atlanta tower Vale built from Nate's own blueprints, Nate discovers a floor that officially doesn't exist: a concrete corridor carved with binding runes, sealed behind a steel door that knows his name. Vale finally confesses the truth. The tower isn't just a building. It's a cage, built over a century-old tomb, designed with ancient containment architecture to hold something that has been quietly waking for eighteen months, feeding on the fear of every tenant who has died, vanished, or fled since the day it opened. The entity behind the door, the Hollow Word, has been shaping Nate's life far longer than eighteen months. It orchestrated the bribery charge that ruined him, steered him back to the one building only he can unlock, and now holds his younger brother Eli as leverage, offering Nate power, vindication, and revenge against everyone who ever wronged him, in exchange for one thing: help it walk free. With his brother's life on the line, a retired professor's fragments of the closure ritual, and a partner who refuses to let him go in alone, Nate must descend through the tower's hidden maze toward the tomb beneath its foundation. What waits there rewrites everything he believed about his own bloodline and why the Meridian chose him from the very beginning. Closing the door will cost him something he can never get back. Refusing costs everyone else absolutely everything he has left.
