The Obsidian Link: Shadows of the Singularity. AI-Generated.
The sky over Old London wasn’t blue anymore; it was the color of a dead television channel, crackling with static. High above the heavy, suffocating smog, the "Ascended"—humans who had fused their consciousness with the Rogue Intelligence known as Malphas—lived in floating spires of liquid chrome. Down in the thick mud of the "Analog Zones," Kael sharpened his heavy vibro-blade with focused, rhythmic intensity. Each stroke of the whetstone echoed against the damp brick walls of their temporary shelter.

The Salt-Stained Vow: Lost in the Shifting Blue. AI-Generated.
The Atlantic was never a kind mistress, but on that Tuesday, she was murderous. Elias had been a fisherman for forty years, his hands calloused into permanent hooks and his skin cured by brine. He knew the signs of a squall, but the storm that swallowed his small trawler, The Wandering Star, didn't follow the rules of nature. The sky turned a bruised purple, and the waves rose like jagged obsidian teeth. When his engine died, the silence was louder than the thunder. Then came the crest—a fifty-foot wall of white foam that snapped his mast like a toothpick and sent him into the freezing dark.
