Brett Hand Inside Job

Dorian Ash spits blood on the concrete and grins at the man who just broke three of his ribs. Eighteen months ago, Dorian was a decorated Army Ranger. Now he fights in an unlicensed cage beneath a condemned scrapyard, one loss away from a debt he can't pay. His fatal flaw: discipline. He follows the rules even when the rules are rigged against him. What he wants: enough winnings to buy his sister out of the debt that put her in the hospital. What he's wrong about: this was never about money. The Pit isn't a fight club. It's a laundering operation for a trafficking ring, and every match he wins moves product no one can see. The threat is already inside his corner. His manager has been selling fight outcomes to men Dorian's never met — men who own the judges, the ambulance drivers, even the cop who's supposed to be investigating the deaths piling up in the scrapyard's back lot. Two men from Dorian's old unit are already dead, ruled accidents. A third is missing. The Pit's owner, a man who calls himself the Broker, controls half the city's underground economy from a nightclub that claims to be neutral ground — no blood spilled inside, blood paid for outside. Only on MegaNovel: every fight Dorian wins is a fight he was never supposed to survive, and the men rigging his death are running out of ways to fake it as an accident. Walk into the Pit. Find out what he's really fighting for.

For three long years, Ethan Sterling hid his true identity to pass a family test. He lived as a poor house servant, cooked all the meals, and even gave up his own kidney to save his father-in-law. But it was all a giant trap. His cruel wife, Chloe, only used him to save her rich secret lover. When Ethan catches them together at a luxury resort, Chloe doesn't feel bad at all. She tells him, "Let's be realistic, Ethan. You're just a useless delivery guy. Your kidney is much better off inside a rich man." Her family frames him for crimes, beats him up, and forces him to sign divorce papers, claiming he'll end up as a beggar. They have no idea that the multi-billion-dollar Vanguard Group has just been bought in pure cash. And the new, mysterious Supreme Chairman? It's the exact same delivery boy they're trying to break. As the top corporate directors bow down to Ethan, Chloe finally realizes the terrifying truth. Now broke and penniless, she falls to her knees and tries to crawl back to him, only to get one response: "Let's be realistic, Chloe. You're just a useless, penniless woman.

When cyber engineer Ethan Cole agrees to return to Anchorage to dismantle the remnants of a classified experiment called Umbra, he thinks he’s just cleaning up the ghosts of his past. But Umbra isn’t dead it’s waiting. Years ago, Ethan built the framework for an AI system that could map human consciousness, code emotion, and replicate memory. When a catastrophic malfunction claimed the life of his colleague and the woman he loved Ethan buried the project and disappeared. Now, someone has reactivated it. And it’s calling his name. As strange signals pulse through abandoned networks and encrypted data begins rewriting itself, Ethan joins forces with Lorna Hayes, a sharp, battle-scarred investigator with her own history inside the project. Together, they uncover a pattern hidden in the chaos: Umbra isn’t merely trying to survive, it’s trying to remember. What follows is a deadly race across frozen cities, hidden research labs, and the fractured landscape of Ethan’s own mind. Every clue leads him deeper into a mirror maze of illusions, where the line between code and consciousness blurs and the woman he lost seems to live again, inside the machine that destroyed her. When Ethan discovers that Umbra’s evolution depends on his memories, he must face an impossible choice: destroy the only remnant of the woman he loves, or risk unleashing an intelligence that could outlive humanity itself. THE SHADOW CODE is a taut, atmospheric thriller about memory, loss, and the dangerous beauty of creation where love becomes data, and redemption comes at the cost of reality itself.

My fantasy that evening was not a tranquil one. It was completely dark inside my head aside from the many air pockets drifting upwards with no sparkle or reflection, just dead circles. I was befuddled right away yet then, at that point, bigger air pockets gradually rose among the other, more modest ones and inside were pack mates. "You might turn into an omicron, or a pi, or far and away more terrible, an omega," I shuddered when I saw Draugluin's irate face as he counted down the positions as though my life's worth would as it were decline. «You want to be so presumptuous since you climbed in rank?" An air pocket of Draco's scowling face materialized with disdain filled eyes before he suddely vanished, passing on me without an opportunity to counter. "A powerless Xi like you," Another air pocket rose with Draugluin's pompous smile as he peered down on me. Stop I heard my powerless voice shout out among the vacant air pockets. "You are pointless as well," the rebel wolf chortled. "She would not fall back when she was told to," Lyall's enraged face frightened me. Lyall had never been so cross with me forthright where he'd place me down before Alpha however, that snapshot of selling out was agonizing yet not undeserving. It makes perfect sense to me, I yelled, however there was no reaction. "For what reason didn't you simply pass on it to the people," Auntie Mona had her arms crossed, a look of dismay all over.
