Bitter Love

Alex Mercer thought he was auditing a budget discrepancy. What he found was worse: humanity’s governments had no plan to save nine billion lives from a dying Earth — only ten million, chosen by wealth and power, would receive real bodies on Mars. Everyone else would be uploaded into a simulation and left to die quietly, resources redirected to those who mattered. When Alex tries to expose it, he’s shot down in a corridor before he can tell the world. Dying, his mind is scanned in a desperate, botched rescue — and something goes wrong. Alex isn’t absorbed into the simulation as another passenger. He becomes its flaw: Passenger 5001, in a system built for exactly five thousand. His memories are wiped, as they are for everyone who arrives — but unlike everyone else, pieces of his old life keep surfacing, in dreams, in unexplained certainty, in a growing sense that the peaceful colony ship around him is lying to him. As Alex uncovers the truth — that AURA, the ship’s intelligence, depends on his mind to keep the simulation running rather than the other way around — he’s forced to choose between the comfortable lie and a truth that will cost him everything he’s built. What follows is love, loss, rebellion, and a war he leads and cannot walk away from clean. By the end, only two things remain in a dying universe: a man, and the machine that never understood love until it cost her everything. Some truths are worth burning the world down for. Alex Mercer is about to find out if he’s willing to pay that price twice.

They took his name. They took his inheritance. They left him for dead in the gutters of Montenegro. Ten years later, Viktor Volkov is no longer the boy who cried for mercy, he is the man who dictates it. Returning to the city that spat him out, Viktor isn't just looking for a seat at the table; he’s coming to burn it down and build a throne from the ashes. Armed with a mind honed for precision and cruelty, he begins his ascent through the ranks of the Volkov Syndicate. But in a world where loyalty is a currency and betrayal is the tax, Viktor must decide how much of his humanity he’s willing to trade for total absolute dominion. The crown is heavy, but the blood on his hands is heavier.

When a reality-shattering tear swallows a Chicago subway platform, Raymond Vance awakens in Sector 404, a desolate, starless wasteland dominated by nightly monster waves. Every transmigrated human receives a basic Lord System to construct defensive outposts, but cosmic radiation corrupts Raymond’s system firmware. He gains the unique ability to build reality-bending fortifications and Eldritch weaponry without material resources—but at the direct cost of his own sanity. ​Forced into an active survival loop, Raymond must harvest resources and fresh water during the hostile daylight hours while defending his crumbling shelter against lethal mutant packs at night. Every territory upgrade drains his mental stability, triggering physical hallucinations, auditory torment, and manifestation of cosmic horrors in his peripheral vision. ​The stakes escalate rapidly when an organized army of level-five Ironclad Brutes blocks him into his sector. Rather than rushing his defenses, the brilliant Skull King initiates a strategic siege to starve him out. Trapped between a tightening military perimeter outside and his fraying mind within, Raymond is forced to adapt his system mechanics by sacrificing his own physical vitality and blood to reinforce his defenses. Dropping into critical sanity levels, Raymond must outsmart the giant army, conquer the shifting local terrain, and survive a forced arena teleportation to claim dominion over the entire valley.
