Blurb: “What the hell are you doing in my house?” Karvel growled, voice shaking with fury. “Why are you answering her phone?” “Oh, I’m much more than a houseguest now, flea-boy,” Vincent said with a purr. “She finally got tired of playing with a neutered mutt like you. I mean, let’s be honest—you've been her decorative doormat for years. Not even housebroken, are you?” Karvel Donovan thought rock bottom was marrying into a wealthy family who treated him like trash. He thought betrayal couldn’t sting worse until he heard his wife in the arms of another man on their anniversary. Until the hospital threatened to throw his dying mother into the streets. Now the mutt they mocked is about to show them what happens when a dog stops begging… and starts biting.

In a world where every promise is binding and every lie is punished by magic, one boy is born without the power to be controlled. Evin has no voice in society—disabled, dismissed, and oathless. But when his adopted family is nearly destroyed by a bandit attack, the quiet boy with the haunted past is forced to flee his home, armed only with a sharp mind and an unwanted companion: a shapeshifting trickster called Bunny.

But when a high-profile corporation like Tianhu suddenly requests him by name, things get weird fast. First, the icy receptionist turns uncharacteristically warm.

Jay Elric is a broke misfit with a brilliant mind and a secret he can’t explain—he can hear people’s thoughts. As a cybersecurity student at Silverton Tech, Jay stays under the radar, spending his nights as a mysterious hacker known only as Mindfire. He exposes corrupt companies, reroutes dark money to shelters, and leaks secrets the world isn’t ready to see. No one knows who he really is—until someone does. After hacking into a fake charity linked to a growing drug ring, Jay receives a chilling message from a mysterious underground group: The Neural Rebellion. They know who he is. They’ve been watching him. And they want him on their side. When Jay lands a suspicious job at Virexon Corp—a powerful tech-security firm with clean labs and dirty secrets—he discovers the company is deeply involved in experimental drugs, human testing, and neural manipulation. The same corporation is behind a silent war on the minds of the poor, the imprisoned, and the forgotten.

As the lines blur between technology and control, justice and vengeance, Jay must choose: stay hidden, or burn the system from the inside out. Because the real war isn’t just for power—it’s for the human mind.

'I didn't kill him' I whispered my camera shaking in my hands while I looked at the blood on the marble floor. 'I know' the man in shadows whispered, his voice like velvet on rough ground. 'But the world believes that I did and you are the only one to attest to my innocence'.

In a world of predators can the man keeping her prisoner actually be her executioner...or her salvation.

"Yeah, listen up. I want to order a pizza, but don’t screw this up, alright? I don’t have time for incompetence from some broke ass pizza delivery guy.” That's the first thing Niko heard when he answered the phone, “who the hell orders pizza like that?” He sensed the arrogance from whoever was behind that thick voice over the phone. But he ignored the rudeness and asked him “Sure, sir. What can I get for you today?” “Dumbass I already said I want a large pizza. What else do you sell if not pizza?” Things like this always made Niko hate his job, he'd been working in that pizza shop for almost a year and he never got used to all the insults and harsh treatment. But he was willing to keep enduring all of it as long as it fetched him some money to take care of himself and his girlfriend Vikkie.

Warren made to speak but just then the MC got the stage, officially welcoming everyone to the gala. Just then Lady Williams joins them. Surprised couldn't describe what she felt seeing Warren at the gala. “What's he doing here?” She asked. “We’re just as shocked as you are grandma,” Troy said. “Don't stand close to us. I don’t want anyone thinking we are actually associated with a commoner like you,” Laurel said. Soon they were interrupted by the loud voice from the speaker. “...Please welcome on stage, the host of tonight's gala and newly appointed CEO of Sterling Heights, Warren Easton.” Loud cheers and applauses erupted immediately. Warren made his way to the front and stood until the noise died down. His eyes squarely on the Williams family. He watched as their faces switched from the looks of confusion to realisation to that of surprise. He had them where he wanted them. Bingo.

The enhancement serum was meant to create superhumans—faster, smarter, stronger. Instead, it wiped out most of civilization and turned the rest into Hollowed: vicious, mutated monsters. Elias Mercer should’ve been dead. Instead, he became something new—immune, stronger than a Hollowed, and guided by a mysterious (possibly digital) voice in his head. He’s the first successful mutation—and now, everyone wants him. Hunted by Viratech, the shady corporation that created the virus, Black Sun, a ruthless cult with dark motives, and other mutated survivors who’ve lost their humanity, Elias is stuck in a crumbling world ruled by chaos. His body keeps changing, the System in his head grants strange abilities with dangerous side effects, and his forgotten past might hold the key to everything. To survive, Elias must uncover the truth behind the virus, his own identity, and whether saving the world means losing what’s left of himself. Monsters. Mutations. Mystery. And a war on the horizon.
