The Arctic wind howled louder than ever as Jayden, Evelyn, Mia, and Sage stood on the icy ridge, eyes fixed on the impossible monolith rising in the north, obsidian-black, veined with red. It wasn’t part of Omega Base.

It wasn’t even on any map. “What… is that?” Mia asked, her voice barely a whisper.

Sage tapped furiously on her wrist display. “It’s not on satellite… thermal… nothing. It wasn’t here an hour ago.”

Jayden’s gaze hardened. “Then it was buried… and just woke up.”

Evelyn stepped forward. “I thought we stopped the apocalypse.”

Jayden clenched his fists. “Maybe that was just the trailer.”

Their escape was rough, frigid winds, minor injuries, depleted ammo. But thanks to Sage’s emergency beacon, a stealth sub retrieved them off the icy shore within two hours.

The team collapsed into the warmth of the craft’s medical bay, battered and barely functioning. Jayden didn’t rest. He sat at the monitor, watching a grainy, zoomed-in feed of the monolith, now confirmed as Codename: Ne

    "He has passed the test." The transmission echoed in the war room like a voice from the void. Jayden stared at the screen, fists clenched, the silence in the room heavy as steel.Sage’s fingers flew across the keyboard, trying to trace the signal source. “It’s not just from the Moon,” she said. “It’s beneath its surface. A vault embedded in the Sea of Tranquility. Coded with Board-level encryption… but not from this era.”Mia stepped forward, still pale. “What does that even mean?”Evelyn looked at Jayden. “It means there’s a bigger game. And someone’s been watching since the beginning.” Jayden said nothing.Because in that moment… He realized something. This was never just about inheritance. He was never meant to be rich. He was meant to be tested.Later that night, Jayden sat alone in the surveillance suite. He replayed the Moon message. Slower. Reversed. Split into audio layers. On the fourth pass, he heard it. A second voice layered beneath the main one. Distorted. Familiar.His o

  • Chapter 13: Nemesis Prime

    The hypersonic cruiser screamed through the upper atmosphere, slicing a line across the globe toward the Arctic Monolith. Inside the cockpit, no one spoke. Jayden sat with the Warden Key secured to his chest. A ghost of light shimmered across its crystal frame, as though it were waking up too.Sage sat beside him, scanning the encrypted Moon transmission over and over. The words wouldn’t change. “Come home.”“It’s bait,” Evelyn said. “Or worse, an invitation.”Jayden shook his head. “We finish the mission. We kill Nemesis. And then we find out what else is whispering in the dark.”The Arctic came fast, and the monolith faster. As they neared, the cruiser’s systems began failing. Navigation… offline. Power… draining. Gravity… rising?The jet slammed into an invisible field midair and dropped like a stone.CRASH.They tumbled into the ice, alive but battered. The monolith stood before them, taller than any skyscraper, covered in ancient, shifting symbols that seemed to rewire themselves

  • Chapter 12: Project Silence

    Pyongyang, North Korea. A city of shadows, secrets, and silence. Underneath it all, hidden for decades beneath a decommissioned military airfield, sat Silo 9, the final resting place of Wesley Worldsen’s last invention: The Warden Key.A weapon designed not to destroy Nemesis… but to contain it. If it still worked.Jayden’s team moved at midnight. A backdoor channel through diplomatic ties allowed a brief, quiet crossing into DPRK territory. Their transport? An old Soviet cargo plane rigged with stealth plating and an inside agent: Yun Seo-Jun, a former intelligence officer who had defected, then vanished into rumor.He met them at a rusting fuel depot near the Yalu River. “You’re either suicidal,” Yun said, “or the only people left trying to stop the end of the world.”Jayden shook his hand. “Let’s be both.”Yun handed them blueprints. “Silo 9 is twelve levels underground. Sealed with anti-breach tech from the Cold War. Once we’re in, we have seven minutes before their internal syste

    BOOM!The missile struck the left engine with pinpoint precision. The stealth jet spun violently, alarms shrieking through the cockpit. Sparks flew, oxygen masks deployed, and the world turned upside down.Jayden slammed against the wall, blood in his mouth. “We’re hit!” Sage yelled over the cacophony. “Losing altitude fast!”“Deploy gliders!” Evelyn shouted. “Now!” The floor panel hissed open, emergency escape sleds with wings. The only way out. Jayden grabbed Mia, strapping her to one. “We jump on my mark!”“Wait!” Sage yelled. “The Godfist tablet! The tablet” Jayden ripped it from its cradle and shoved it into a shockproof backpack, Then “MARK!” They launched.The Arctic wind howled like a banshee. The four gliders soared through the storm, barely stable. Jayden’s fingers were numb, his goggles frozen with ice. He could barely see Evelyn just ahead, Sage spiraling behind, Mia to his left.Then the ground came too fast. CRASH, Jayden tumbled into snow and black rock, his body scream

  • Chapter 9: Godhand Protocol

    The chopper thudded through the night sky over the Arabian desert, carrying its four surviving passengers, Jayden, Evelyn, Mia, and Sage, away from a vault now buried in flames. But no one felt like they had won.They had retrieved the chip. They had survived the Reaper. But Voss was gone, And worse… the chip had revealed something bigger than anyone had expected:A countdown. 6 days. 14 hours. Until Project GODHAND activates. Jayden sat in the cockpit, watching the desert lights fade. He turned to Sage. “What the hell is Godhand?” Back at a new safehouse in Istanbul, a cold, concrete cube leased under a fake Turkish telecom, Sage worked through the night.she projected the decoded files onto the wall: text, images, blueprints, names. “Godhand isn’t a takeover plan,” she said, pale under the flickering light. “It’s a full reset.”Jayden stared. “Reset what?”“Everything,” Sage whispered. “World economy. Digital infrastructure. Banking, communication, stock markets. All tied into a sin
