In the quaint yet somber town of Willow's End, shrouded in an aura of lingering mist and unsettling quietude, stands the Hawthorne Estate. Its towering... more>> presence casts long shadows over the history of the town, a chronicle rife with whispers of the otherworldly. Here, the Hawthorne family, led by David and Helen, finds their new abode, accompanied by their twin daughters, Aria and Ariel, and their intrepid younger brother, Max.
The estate, with its labyrinthine passageways and dust-laden chambers, holds a peculiar fascination for the twins—a fascination that turns to trepidation as they stumble upon a collection of dolls. These are no ordinary playthings but receptacles of souls, each a tragic participant in an occult legacy left by the enigmatic Morgana, whose very name evokes a hushed fear among the elder townsfolk.
What eldritch truths do the whispering walls of the estate conceal? What becomes of the cursed souls and their porcelain guardians when the rite is disrupted? These questions are the very essence of the tale spun within the pages of "The Collector," a mystery not fully disclosed, for the depth of the manor's secrets is a well far deeper than any might fathom.
Tread lightly, dear reader, through the arcane narrative that unfolds—For within the story of the Hawthorne' and their entanglement with Morgana's legacy, lies a darkness to be explored with caution, and an ad <<less

Aiden finally gave in to the messages barraging his phone after letting out a grunt of annoyance. With a dazed look, he let his hand fumble around the nightstand, eventually holding his phone after a few tries and opened it to numerous messages on the group from his friends.... more>>

Eyes still half closed, he went through the messages, “Look at the night, the moon looks so red!” “The moon is beautiful today!” “The night sky is breathtaking, look outside your window!” “There’s no way you want to miss the moon today!” Due to his habit of sleeping in complete darkness, with curtains closed, he didn’t, on instinct, immediately turn around to look outside the window near his bed, which caused his gaze to linger around longer to find a letter on the nightstand.

Huh? I don’t remember placing anything else here?

When he held the letter though, a symbol embossed on it immediately caught his attention. It was of a secret society he made along with his friends when they were kids. Friends who had one by one disappeared from his life. He opened it to find only a single piece of paper, and some liquid dripping on his palm.

Quickly transitioning to a sitting posture while he grasped the paper in one hand, he turned on the lamp with the other. His eyes widened, pupils dilating, as he looked at the hand holding the paper, which soon began shaking as dark red liquid kept sliding off the paper to stain his hand.

Is it blood?

Containing his fear, he concentrated his gaze onto the paper which had some messy words written over it with the same liquid.

“Don’t look at the moon!”

The Great Smog brought countless incomprehensible disasters. Turns out it wasn’t unity that worked, but fragmentation. The government relocated people from cities to towns across the lands, thinning out the population. It worked, the number of disasters witnessed a drastic decline, making it manageable for the government to deal with.

Years after The Great Smog, Aiden Spencer has come across such incomprehensible disasters, one even in his home.

Ardyn Lowell normally forgets his dreams. He’s a normal young adult who has good friends and a happy family. He should be contented with his life, but there’s always this nagging feeling of yearning in his heart, a longing for someone that never seems to disappear.

In his dreams, however, he remembers everything. He remembers the man who always visits him, the man who always sits next to him on the edge of the fountain in a beautiful garden. He can never clearly see the face of this man, but the yearning in his heart ceases when he is with him.

But when he wakes up, he forgets the man once again, and the longing in his chest never goes away.

The day of his graduation ceremony comes, and Ardyn is late. Catching traffic on the way, he unexpectedly meets with a major car accident and dies quickly, suddenly.
