Novels by Masooda Urooj

"The sun is down. Your system is mine now." Archer Thomas was never meant to be a saint. He is a broke genius trapped in the decaying slums of Sector 2, working a dead-end job at a car showroom just to afford the illegal synthetic serum keeping his dying mother alive. But when the corrupt Iron Core Council signs her execution order to cover up a high-stakes military data leak, a cold, mechanical entity wakes up inside Archer’s blood—the Sovereign System. The rules of survival are instantly rewritten; by day, he is a restricted, fragile civilian bleeding from a fifty-percent lung penalty, but the moment the sun dips below the Manhattan horizon, he becomes Dallas. Armed with liquid red eyes, an unchained crimson aura, and a rogue federal captain named Nora Barrett by his side, he launches a brutal, calculated audit against the city's rulers, turning military-grade plasma weapons into harmless scrap metal to harvest survival points. However, as the system demands higher stakes and Councilor Gideon’s dark executive air fleet descends to enforce a terminal sector lockdown, Archer uncovers a terrifying truth hidden within the encrypted database: the Council didn't just build the core—they have been waiting for him to activate it. Trapped between a suspicious alliance with a federal precinct and the desperate need to protect his terrified younger brother, Ford, Archer must breach the high-security walls of Sector 1 before his own heart turns to ash.
