"Inkbound Hearts"
Rik doesn’t remember when life started to feel so heavy — only that it always feels heavier at night.
College. Silence. Loneliness that hums in the background like static.
So, he does what he always does when it gets too much: scrolls through novels on his cracked phone screen, looking for a world better than this one.
That night, he finds a story.
“A cold-hearted hero meets a boy who falls into his world from nowhere.”
It’s just fiction. Right?
But when the screen glitches — when the room around him starts to flicker — Rik makes one last, quiet wish:
“I want to be somewhere I matter.”
Then he wakes up in a world that doesn’t want him.
With a hero who doesn’t trust him.
And a story that isn’t quite what it seemed.
He was only trying to escape.
He didn’t mean to fall in.
