In the shadowed streets of turn-of-the-century Europe, Van Helsing walks a fine line between humanity and something far older, far deadlier. Haunted by the safety of the Countess and driven by vengeance, he follows the cryptic trail of a mysterious, arcane device that points to a shadowy organization controlling monsters, machines, and men alike. From the fog-choked alleys of London to the chaotic, industrial heart of New York, Van Helsing battles clockwork automatons, monstrous creations, and cunning assassins. Each confrontation tests his centuries-honed reflexes, his semi-cursed endurance, and his razor-sharp intellect. The organization is relentless, its leaders more than human, weaving traps and horrors designed to crush him at every turn. But Van Helsing is relentless too—hunting, deciphering, surviving, and striking back with the precision of centuries of experience. As he closes in on the masters, the line between hunter and hunted blurs, and the city itself becomes a battlefield of steam, magic, and blood. Van Helsing — Shadows of the Masters is a gritty, suspenseful journey through industrial labyrinths, monstrous threats, and human treachery, where courage, cunning, and vengeance collide in a world where shadows hold more than darkness.

In the vast darkness beyond known space, human instinct clashes with the perfection of machines. Chalak, a seasoned observer of interstellar phenomena, confronts a cosmic event unlike anything humanity has ever seen: a burgeoning universe expanding toward theirs, threatening annihilation. Tasked with overseeing an array of optical phased sensors capable of reconstructing signals from beyond the edge of the cosmos, Chalak must balance the flawless precision of androids with the unpredictable power of human intuition.As the anomaly grows, the mission fractures between cold machine logic and human instinct. Chalak wrestles with life-or-death decisions, calculating g-forces, tidal effects, and relativistic distortions in real time. The androids remain unflinching, their logic impeccable but devoid of urgency. Only Chalak can perceive the full scale of the threat, the creeping danger that could erase everything.Racing against time and cosmic expansion, Chalak must deliver a warning that could reshape humanity’s understanding of the universe. Science, survival, and terror intertwine as the line between life and extinction narrows. In this gripping tale, human intuition meets the limits of computation, and the ultimate question is not what machines can calculate—but whether a single human mind can truly survive and act against the unimaginable.

Far beyond the orbit of Neptune, isolated miner crews labor under crushing debt and corporate control. Their lives revolve around dangerous extraction cycles, failing equipment, and dwindling resources—yet the company demands more with every passing cycle. When supply shortages worsen and administrators refuse to intervene, tension builds inside the remote habitats. A handful of miners begin to question the system holding them captive, pushing others to consider the unthinkable: organized resistance. What begins as frustration grows into collective defiance as the workers fight to survive in an environment where even oxygen must be earned. Their struggle draws the attention of distant governments, corporate fleets, and powerful forces determined to keep the outer system profitable—no matter the cost. As pressure mounts, alliances form, tempers flare, and the fragile balance holding the Kuiper Belt together threatens to erupt. Faced with betrayal, desperation, and impossible choices, the miners discover that survival requires more than endurance—it demands unity, courage, and the willingness to break free from the systems built to contain them. This is a story of rebellion in the coldest corner of human space, where freedom comes at a price and every decision carries irreversible consequences.
