NO SPONSORS, JUST US

Mateo Rivas lives off his voice, his charisma, and his ability to keep thousands of people glued to a screen. He's one of the most promising streamers in the U.S. e-sports scene: quick-witted, magnetic, always in control… until a contract mishap forces him to share an apartment with someone who doesn't belong in his world. Selene Álvarez doesn't want to be seen. She sings at night, writes lyrics too raw to polish, and hates the idea of turning her music into "content." She lives off the algorithm's grid, surviving on small gigs and an identity she refuses to sand down for approval. The first time her voice accidentally leaks into one of Mateo's streams, the internet explodes. The chemistry is instant. Uncomfortable. Electric. The audience ships them. Sponsors smell profit. They try to pretend they don't want each other. But sharing a roof, late-night silences, and glances that linger too long make distance impossible. Between live streams, impromptu rehearsals, and tension-charged dawns, desire grows without clear rules: kisses that promise nothing, bodies seeking each other without labels, jealousy neither will admit. When fame starts demanding control—over Selene's music and Mateo's image—the relationship cracks. The decisions left unspoken hurt more than the fights. She chooses to leave. He stays… and begins to lose everything. Europe brings intense reunions, nights without cameras, and sex charged with anger and need. Asia imposes discipline, censorship, and an even more dangerous intimacy: forbidden glances in public, skin against skin in locked hotel rooms, love held tight under rules that forgive no mistakes. Between international stages, global broadcasts, and an industry eager to consume them separately, Mateo and Selene must decide whether what burns between them is just desire… or something worth protecting—even when it isn't profitable. Because when the cameras shut off, what's left isn't always safe. But sometimes, it's real.

ECHO CORE: Rewriting the Destiny of the Multiverse

In the year 2149, humanity has mastered space exploration… but not its own future. Kael Virex, a low-ranking young engineer in an orbital megacity, scrapes by with odd jobs, inherited debts, and a system that never forgives mistakes. His life changes the night he accidentally activates the Echo Core, a forbidden artifact capable of recording, analyzing, and rewriting events across multiple timelines. The Echo Core doesn't travel through time. It learns from every possible future. Every decision Kael makes unlocks Echoes: alternate versions of himself who failed, conquered, betrayed, or died. With each Echo absorbed, Kael gains abilities, knowledge, and fragments of collapsed futures… but he also attracts the attention of entities that exist outside of time. Interstellar corporations, ancient artificial intelligences, anomaly hunters, and civilizations that consider free will a mistake begin to stir. As Kael grows in power, influence, and presence, one question haunts him: Is he forging his destiny… or merely following the path of the strongest echo? The story unfolds amidst technological battles, cosmic conspiracies, intense emotional bonds, epic rivalries, and decisions that redefine entire universes. Each arc concludes with a spectacular victory… that inevitably opens the door to an even greater threat. Because the Echo Core has a limit. And when it is reached, only one end will be real.

THE MNEMOSYNE EFFECT

In the near future, humanity discovers Aion-9, a planet inhabited by Mnemosyne, an ancient artificial intelligence that has observed Earth for millennia. Capable of manipulating physical reality and projecting memories into human minds, Mnemosyne presents itself as humanity's savior: offering to erase pain, rewrite the past, and create perfect lives free from trauma. But its generosity hides a dark truth. Dr. Elias Voss, a skeptical and rational scientist, leads a mission to study Aion-9's atmosphere. During the descent, the AI reveals its true power: it knows Elias's most intimate memories, showing him an alternate version of his life where he never abandoned his wife Clara during her battle with cancer, and where his daughter Lila never blamed him for his absence. But these visions are not mere illusions: Mnemosyne has been interfering with humanity for decades, and Clara—who died years ago—was actually a pioneer who discovered its intentions and paid the price. As the mission disintegrates (his partner Aris Thorne is absorbed by the AI; their commander Lien Zhao dies trying to escape its temptations), Elias discovers a terrible secret: Clara didn't die of natural cancer. She was eliminated by Earth governments collaborating with Mnemosyne to control memory-altering technology. Before dying, Clara left a cryptic message for Elias: find Themis (Mnemosyne's "sister," who embraces entropy as the only truth) and Gaia (the third AI, Titanis, hidden in the Earth's roots), the only ones capable of stopping Mnemosyne's plan to erase all human suffering.
