A few years ago, i had a major operation for both my eyes. I got the A class room for myself so that means i wasn't sharing the room and got the room completely for myself. After the operation, i was told not to remove the bandage that was covering my eyes. So for a few days, i had no choice but to remain blindfolded.
The bad side of it was that i can't see what i was doing and i had to get the nurses involved. My family members couldn't be with me during that period so i had no choice but to depend on the nurses and my other senses. I could still hear and touch things.
On one particular night, i had to urgently use the toilet so i pressed the button next to my bed to call for the nurse. I heard my room door being opened and i heard footsteps. I cant see who was the nurse but i felt her presence. I raised my hand and felt my hand was being touched by someone's hand but oh my Lord! Her hand was so cold!!
I had no choice because i needed to go to the toilet so i gripped her hand and i let her accompany me to the toilet's door. When she stopped walking, i stopped too because i knew that the toilet door was very near to me. So i used my hands to reach out for the door knob and the switch to turn on the toilet lights. Only then i slowly crept my way in and shut the door behind me while i could still feel the nurse's presence near me.
While i was doing my business, i whispered to myself,
"Why isn't this nurse talking to me like how other nurses would when they are accompanying me?"

Once i was done, i opened the toilet door and realized that i could no longer feel her presence. I slowly crept my way back to my bed and while i was trying to get on my bed again, i could feel like.. someone was already lying on my bed!! I was sure someone was there!!
I remained cool even though i was very scared and walked to the room door. This time, i called out to the nurses through my own voice. I was literally shouting for them!
"Missy! Please help! Missy! Please help!"
"What's wrong Madam?" a nurse responded to me and i could feel her warm presence.
"I think.. there's someone lying on my bed!"
"Huh?! But...there is no one there, Madam." the nurse told me.
I wasn't feeling comfortable but i had no choice but to remain calm. The nurse then walked me back to my bed slowly and i could feel that the other cold presence was no longer there. I was able to sleep for that night but for the next 2 - 3 nights there, i always felt a weird presence around me. It felt like i was being watched the whole time!
Nothing bad happened to me but i wasn't feeling good during those nights. They were the longest nights in my life where i felt like my life was in some kind of danger because i was being blindfolded the whole time! Till today, i never found out whether was it a human being or some supernatural force that accompanied me the other night. I can still feel her cold hands gripping mine till this very moment!
Thank you.

I'm the bad guy!?
Do you wish you could wake up inside the mind of your favorite anime character? Well, our hero certainly did. From the moment he first laid eyes on (God's Favored Arcanist); An Isekai story centered around the adventures of sixteen-year-old Masato Yamajita as he traveled throughout the world of Echeron. And Masato had it all; He was a once in a millenium genius known as the (SSS-class Arcanist), capable of wielding every element- and using them to their fullest potential- seemingly without effort. He could boil oceans, flip mountains, freeze volcanos, and as his power grew, so did his personal connections. He became a King, an Emperor, a God... And eventually stumbled into a harem of beautiful women who loved him. So, imagine our hero's surprise when he finds himself inside the body of a character from (God's Favored Arcanist). There's just one problem. Our hero isn't Masato Yamajita, he's twelve-year-old Aren (The Devil's Duke) Ulvani: Childhood friend of Masato's first wife, Heir to the Ulvani Dukedom, and the secondary Antagonist of the first season of the anime. Our Hero isn't the Hero. He's the misunderstood Bad Guy with a tragic ending. Armed with only his knowledge of the anime, the body of Aren Ulvani, and six years before the events of the anime begin. Can our hero turn his life around or will the future play out the same way no matter what he does? (Chapters 3-16 of the first book have been removed due to KDP publishing rules.

Countdown to Inferno
"Everybody wants to rule the world... even if it's a destroyed one." Three great powers divide the known world. One of them is on track to offset this power balance as it seemingly undertakes the grand task of unifying the world. After 100 years of brutal economic, military, political, and even religious campaigns, the Republic of Dalreida has achieved a vast empire stretching from the Cargan Ports to the Aramathian Desert. May they be gods and goddesses, or princes and princesses, the rising republic has embarked on depriving nation upon nation of self-governance. In the midst of all these, Dalreida's primary personality, Lord Piso, has been serving as the republic's dictator for six years. Entering his seventh year in office, he shocked allies and enemies alike with a hazy calendar reform. Along with it is a pledge to pass on the reins of power after the so-called "longest term." Then again, to whom will it be passed? Or will it be passed down at all? With so much at stake during the "longest term," what does Piso's gamble entail for Dalreida and the world? Will it bring heaven on earth? Will all hell break loose instead? Or something else in between to purge the world of everything it ever had?
