MTB Design Cove Archives Chamber One—Ink Drift Scroll One—Summoned

A quiet day. A closet door. A ripple through reality.

When a corridor of unknown origin appears in the linen closet—before the day’s caffeine has even fully downloaded—an unexpected cast (neurodivergent teen, exhausted moms, and adventure-ready dogs) are swept into a world that was expecting them. And according to a surly Vaultkeeper? They’re late.

Marked by glowing sigils and guided by curiosity (and caffeine), the group must navigate the mysteries of the Archive—starting with Ink Drift, the threshold between the ordinary and the unremembered.

✨ Summoned is the first scroll in a 7-part graphic novella series chronicling the awakening of the MTB Design Cove Archives. It’s whimsical, weird, a little chaotic, and entirely full of heart.

💫 This exclusive edition also includes early access to character page previews—bonus content that won’t be available on Kindle until later in the week.

The Archive doesn’t just keep stories.

It remembers who answers.

Archivist’s Note:

The baseline for the visual artwork in this novella was created using generative AI tools, guided by a custom prompt formula developed at MTB Design Cove. Each piece is based on real individuals and edited extensively in Procreate and Canva to match the Archive’s tone.

While the editing process could qualify this as a fully illustrated work, I do not claim that title. 

True illustration is its own craft, and I respect those who master it.

GenAI is a bridge I use with care—never a shortcut—allowing me to work within the limits of chronic illness without dimming the worlds I can build. The story, characters, and every edited detail remain 100% my own.
