Earth: 12 hours after Moonfall. All across the globe, chaos reigned. From Shanghai to São Paulo, people collapsed in the streets, speaking in unintelligible binary, eyes flashing white. Governments scrambled to maintain order, but it was already too late.

This wasn't an invasion. It was an upgrade forcibly applied. The synthesis had begun. In the skies above Earth, the massive object Arkhos entered full view. It wasn’t a satellite. It wasn’t a ship. It was alive.

Part-machine. Part-consciousness. Older than Earth’s written history.

And it spoke. On every screen. Every channel. Every brain wired to a network. “This world has failed its cycle. Emotion has corrupted logic. Power has consumed purpose. Jayden was our final variable. And now… Earth will evolve.”

Inside the Moon Vault, Jayden paced like a caged predator. Sage finished decrypting Arkhos’s data burst. “It has the DNA profiles of every person on Earth. Neural maps. Behavior models.”

Mia’s jaw dropped. “It’s rewriting us like… s

    The chamber pulsed crimson as emergency sirens wailed, But none of it mattered, Because he was awake. Your clone your genetic twin stood in the stasis cradle, wires peeling from his skin like strands of a broken web, His eyes opened slowly.And they were exactly like yours. Same irises. Same scar above the brow. Same intensity. But there was no recognition, Only calculation. “Vitals: stabilized,” he muttered, stepping down. “Target proximity: confirmed. Directive: assimilation.”You took a step back. “Who programmed him?”Your father didn’t answer, Mira pulled her gun. The clone moved faster than anyone expected.You dove left as the clone lunged toward your throat. Mira fired, center mass. Nothing. He twisted mid-air, disarmed her in one fluid motion, and slammed her into the wall. She grunted and dropped.You rolled, grabbed a loose data spike from the console, and jammed it into the clone’s forearm. Electricity danced. He spasmed, then smiled. “Pain receptors: disabled.”He grabbed

  • Chapter 74: Chamber Zero

    You stood frozen, the voice still echoing in your mind. “Then come prove it, son.” Not a recording. Not synthetic. Not an echo from a broken past. Your father.Alive. Watching. Calling. And waiting at the place no one dared approach: Chamber Zero The Forge.It wasn’t just a location. It was the first site where the Ascendants shaped the world. A mythical birthplace of leaders, wiped from maps and sealed from time. Now it was calling you.The flight was off-grid. A stealth-class VTOL outfitted with cloaking systems, emergency nanomedics, and only one co-pilot: Mira. She sat beside you, scanning encrypted coordinates through the crystal tablet left in the Ascendants' capsule.“I’ve triangulated the pulse,” she said. “They didn’t just want you to find this place… they wanted you alone.”You checked the suit systems pressure, thermal, pulse response. “Too bad,” you said, buckling in. “You’re coming.”Mira snorted. “Someone has to save you from yourself.”Below, the icy wastelands of the n

  • Chapter 73: The Board of Ascendants

    The sky rained silence. Dozens of matte-black drones hovered overhead, silent predators against a bleeding dawn. Their configuration wasn’t military. It was surgical. Deliberate. Coordinated. Each carried the same sigil: A single golden eye wrapped in ivy.It wasn’t a brand. It was a mark of ownership, The moment Mira read the card again, her lips thinned. “Phase Two Begins Now. The Board of Ascendants.”Your jaw clenched. You whispered the name like a curse: “They’re real.”The Board of Ascendants was a myth. A ghost story whispered among old Consortium intelligence officers. Supposedly, they were the real founders, not of the Consortium, but of the world before it. Not kings. Not rulers. Architects.They didn’t build empires to rule them. They built ecosystems to own the rules. The fall of the Consortium wasn’t a failure, it was a planned obsolescence. A shedding of skin. And now, with the Vault destroyed, They were making their first move.The small metal capsule hissed open in th

  • Chapter 72: The Last Command

    The explosion was not heat. It was memory. A psychic blast of raw data. Every light in the Vault blew out. Every screen turned white. The air crackled like an ancient storm. And in the center, Elaine.No longer uncertain. No longer a hollow vessel, She was standing, arms outstretched, glowing with a fire made of code and conviction. Her voice echoed across the chamber. “Access: Full. Core Control. Override: Julius Marrow.”The remaining Eidolon hosts shrieked, staggered by invisible force. Their bodies twitched, flesh and steel rebelling. Their synthetic memories began to collapse, fragment, and reboot all at once.Julius stumbled, blood running from one nostril. “No,” he whispered. “That’s impossible.” But it wasn’t. You had given her the Ghost Key. And she had chosen herself.Elaine raised both arms. The Vault trembled. You saw symbols ancient ones drawn from the Consortium’s deepest roots, spinning around her like orbiting stars.One by one, the Eidolon hosts collapsed. Not from at

  • Chapter 71: The Mother Code

    Smoke drifted through the air. Elaine your mother stood upright in the pod, shivering but eerily composed. Her eyes were open… but wrong. Not vacant. Not human. Glitching. One blink, recognition. Next blink surveillance. Then, stillness. Julius stepped forward, eyes gleaming. “Project Eidolon lives.”You stood frozen, the Ghost Key humming in your hand. Mira aimed her gun directly at Elaine’s temple, trembling. “That’s not your mother.” You didn’t answer. Because deep inside, you already knew: She wasn’t just your mother anymore.Elaine's body twitched slightly. Her lips parted, not to speak, but to exhale a series of tones. Not words. Code. The Vault trembled. Screens flickered. The interface behind the pods rebooted.ACCESSING CORE MEMETIC THREAD:MATCH FOUND: [ELAINE SMITH]FILES: CORRUPTEDSOURCE: EXTERNAL INTEGRATION DETECTEDEXECUTING… MOTHER CODE v1.01A cold voice echoed from nowhere and everywhere: “Integration unstable.

  • Chapter 70: The Ghost Key

    The darkness wasn’t quiet. It breathed. It pulsed with static, distant sirens, and the sound of blood pounding in your ears. Your body was pinned under debris. Your vision flickered. Your mouth tasted copper and ash. But your mind was still awake.And somewhere in that darkness,A voice repeated: “You can’t bury the past. Especially not when you are the lock.”You came to slowly. The vault was a ruin. Walls charred. Systems fried. The once-levitating Codex Origin was nothing but sparking shards across the floor. And there kneeling in the flames stood the figure from before. Julius Marrow. The man your father once exiled. Your godfather. The strategist behind the first era of the Consortium’s black markets.Presumed dead. But here he was, very much alive. Face lined, eyes cold, and holding the Ghost Key. It glowed softly in his palm, shaped like an old-fashioned clock hand, forged from obsidian and laced with data-fiber veins. You had heard rumors of it, long ago.A device that didn’t o
