They said evolution takes millions of years. They were wrong. Alex Chen is a broke, burned-out programmer stuck in a dead-end tech job—until he stumbles upon a mysterious digital interface only he can see: [SYSTEM DETECTED] With one blink, his world changes. Strength. Reflexes. Memory. Intelligence. Everything is upgradable. But he's not the only one. Others are evolving—faster, stronger, more dangerous. Shadowy corporations want to control the system. A hidden cabal is already rewriting humanity. And at the center of it all is a name whispered in the darkest parts of the net: Viktor. As Alex unlocks new powers and uncovers buried secrets, he must decide: Will he become a weapon, a savior… or something far beyond human? The game has started. The rules are broken. And humanity is just the beginning.

    Chapter 1: System Detected

    The alarm howled like a banshee.Alex Chen grumbled and slapped his hand onto the nightstand, wildly waving until at last the ear-piercing noise stopped.

    Chapter 2: Ghost Code
    Alex Chen hadn't slept.Not exactly.His body had collapsed into bed, sure—but his mind had been running like a GPU on overclock. Images, stats, upgrades, and that throbbing message haunted every second of restless sleeping."You were chosen, Alex Chen. Welcome to the next evolution."He sat up as sunrise cut through his broken blinds. The System HUD shone calmly in the corner of his eye, almost as though it had been waiting.Quest Progress: 0%[Explore Origin] – Learn the origin of the system integration.Reward: Skill – DeepScanTime Limit: 24 hours"Of course there's a timer," he muttered, hauling himself to the kitchen.The coffee machine made a mechanical death gurgle. He resigned himself and chewed on another protein bar instead, eyes already scanning the System panel. His new Upgrade Point glowed temptingly.He hovered over Mental Capacity, but something gave him pause.He reloaded his Status screen:[Alex Chen – Status Screen]Level: 1Mental Capacity: 12Reaction Time: 9Memo

    Chapter 3: Sector 23
    The city's skyline rose in wavering Holographics above Alex's head—neon dragons twisting through artificial clouds, scales blinking with advertisements. The Neo-San Francisco never slept. It hummed, like a computer operating under strain, never actually at rest.Alex stood at the edge of District 17, hood pulled over his head, watching out for the fastest route to Sector 23.The System had focused on Dr. Rachel Kim's most recent known location: Arcadia BioCorp, a biotech facility repurposed as a blacksite lab after its sudden takeover by SynTech's shell corporation three years prior. Officially, it was "under reconstruction."Unofficially, it was a ghost zone."Find Rachel Kim – Active QuestDestination: Arcadia BioCorpTime Recommended: NightRisk Level: ModerateReward:???"Alex breathed deeply and entered the transit pod station.Twenty minutes afterward, he was in the still ruins of Sector 23.This area of the city looked as if time had forgotten it—overgrown metal structures, bli

    Chapter 4: The Scorch Loop
    The transport pod jolted hard down the broken tracks towards Sector 11—a district of the city whispered about in dark tones as The Scorch Loop.Alex sat in the corner seat, one hand holding on to the edge of the bench, the other tapping into his HUD menu. Lyra stood at the window, staring out at the burned landscape flying past—cratered skyscrapers, twisted spires of melted steel, and burning neon grave markers."Been here before?" Alex broke the tension.Lyra didn't look. "Once. Just barely made it out alive.""Sounds interesting."She finally looked over at him. "This place is not like the rest of the city. The Scorch Loop was where a failed prototype—the System's original incarnation—was constructed. The feedback energy itself ruined everything digital for miles. Technology, minds, memories. even time acts strange here.""Time?""Looped echoes. Reality glitches. Ghost data. You'll see."[Warning: Entering Restricted Hazard Zone – Environmental Instability Detected][System Function

    Chapter 5: Deep Grid Descent
    The shuttle rattled its way across the midnight-blue firmament, its thread-thin shell groaning as it cut through the polluted Windstream for Sector 31—a rust belt wasteland concealed beneath piles of corrupted information and dead infrastructure.Alex Chen leaned his elbows on the cracked glass, his eyes scanning the digital map sliding across the surface. The Deep Grid Archives were miles beneath the surface, concealed beneath piles of dead tech, locked doors, and electronic ghosts."We're going into a digital graveyard," Lyra complained, strapping herself into a rusty chair beside him.He looked at her. "Is this where the second fragment is kept?"Lyra nodded. "Rachel stashed it in a sealed subgrid. An old data vault. Thing is, the Deep Grid was abandoned for a reason. No system dares to go down there anymore.""Why not?"She hesitated. "Because things down there. don't stay dead."The shuttle groaned as it landed on top of a destroyed tower overgrown with vines of glinting cable. T

    Chapter 6: Shadows in the Code
    The subway tunnel itself was strangely still, the type of quietness that wasn't caused by nothing—but anticipation. Alex could see his own pulse reverberating within his ear canals, beating in synch with the beat of the flickering strip lights that managed to hold on to life running along above broken tiles.Lyra led the way, stepping over the wreckage of an overturned train. The rusty metal had a soft hiss of residual energy. She paused every few feet, checked her scanner, and then pressed on.Alex trailed behind, glancing nervously into the shadows. The System inside him still hummed, reacting to unseen stimuli—nearly as if it was sensing something he was not.[Cognitive Pathways: Active][Fragment Sync: Stable – 68%][Neural Expansion: Background Process Running…]Because since he'd eaten the second shard, everything was different. Sounds were more precise. Lights sparkled differently. But it wasn't just about touch.He could feel things.Patterns.Possibilities.Dangers."Plan?" h

    Chapter 7: The System’s Eye
    The church was silent, each tick of the clock echoing in the stillness. Alex leaned against a cold stone pillar, trying to put together everything that had happened in the last 48 hours.Rachel. The System. Viktor.All the pieces were finally coming together, but the picture they formed was far from clear.He felt Lyra beside him before she asked, "You okay?"Alex exhaled slowly, gazing at her. "Not exactly."She nodded, stepping closer to turn on the terminal. The soft whir of the machine cut into the heavy air, as though the church itself was breathing in held breath.Elias was busy at the other end of the room, monitoring a number of screens covered in streams of information Alex couldn't even begin to understand. His weathered face was illuminated by the light, his cybernetic eye scanning the information as if it held no secrets."Your head clear?" Lyra's voice was soft but insistent."I don't know if it ever will," Alex growled, his gaze straying to the swirling rivers of code ru

    Chapter 8: The Heart of the Beast
    The neon lights flashed, sending long shadows across the dimmed room. The air vibrated with the electric thrum of multiple devices, and the scent of old circuitry lingered. It was a command center—a room of strategy and choices in the heat of battle.Alex stood before the massive wall of screens, each one showing a different piece of the puzzle they were about to try to solve. His mind reeled with the implications of what they were about to do. They were going to break into Viktor's last stronghold, one Alex knew was full of dangers he wasn't yet familiar with.Elias stood alongside him, his graying face lit up by the glow of the screens. His eyes never wavered from the map, reading it with a ferocity that Alex could almost find uncanny. Lyra, meanwhile, was furiously typing away at another console, her fingers moving in practiced fluidity."We only get one shot at this," Elias broke the silence to say. "Once we're in, there's no going back."Alex swallowed hard. The weight of what he

    Chapter 9: The Face of the Enemy
    Viktor's citadel of chill, antiseptic air pressed in around Alex from every side. His footsteps resounded in the dark, empty hallways, the sound amplified in the huge, empty space. The only disturbance in the air was the hiss of the servers against the walls, their steady, pulsating beat the only sign that they were at the hub of something infinitely greater than themselves.Alex's heart pounded in his chest, but he clenched his teeth and restrained himself. Lyra, Elias, and the rebellion soldiers kept close behind him, their presence an unspoken support that steadied his nerves. The further they progressed in the complex, the closer they came to Viktor's inner sanctum—and the stronger Alex felt the System's pull, reaching out to him, tempting him to connect.He resisted the urge, his thoughts on the work instead. They had fifteen minutes before Viktor's AIs detected that they'd been compromised. The clock was already running.Elias, who was keeping stride alongside him, halted and gl

    Chapter 10: Shattered Control
    Alex's body was trembling. The surge of energy from the core had felt like lightning coursing through his veins, and now his muscles ached as if they'd been stretched too far. His head spun with the overload of information, but he forced himself to stay focused.The core's data flooded through him, a torrent of memories and images that weren't his own. His fingers remained pressed against the terminal, but the world around him was starting to fade. The hum of the machinery in the room grew louder, vibrating through the walls. It was as if the System itself was fighting back, trying to reclaim control."Alex!" Lyra's voice broke through the chaos. She was kneeling beside him, her hand on his shoulder, trying to steady him.He turned to look at her, his vision still hazy. "I'm fine. I can't stop now," he rasped, forcing himself to push through the disorienting wave of data. "I have to keep going.""You need to disconnect. Now," Lyra said, her voice urgent. She looked back at the AIs, wh
