Caught Cheating

The war between the werewolves and vampires had been raging on for centuries. They were natural enemies, their instincts programmed to destroy one another. But amidst the conflict, a werewolf named Thrain and a vampire named Lila found themselves drawn to each other. Their first meeting was on the battlefield, but instead of fighting, they found themselves staring into each other’s eyes. There was something about the way they looked at each other that defied everything they had been taught about their kind. They couldn’t explain it, but they felt an unexplainable connection. Over time, they continued to cross paths, seeing each other secretly and forming an unlikely but passionate bond. They knew that if they were ever discovered, the consequences would be dire for both of them. Despite their best efforts, their hidden relationship was discovered by the other members of both factions. The werewolves were enraged at Thrain’s betrayal, and the vampires were disgusted by Lila’s choice to ally herself with their natural enemies. As punishment for their love, Lila was exiled by the vampires, and Thrain was forced to leave his pack. They continued to meet each other in secret, in the desolate forests where they first caught each other’s eye. On one fateful day, the war intensified, and in the chaos of the battlefield, Lila and Thrain were separated. Thrain was mortally wounded by a group of vampires, and Lila used her vampire powers to heal him. In that moment, they both realized that true love knows no boundaries. Together, they proposed a truce between the werewolves and vampires, suggesting that there could be a peaceful coexistence between the two factions. The idea was laughed at by most, but their love eventually led to a detente between the wolves and vampires.

When fragments of an alien megastructure—codenamed The Echelon—begin crashing to Earth, each piece alters reality in unpredictable ways. Governments and black-ops divisions race to control the debris, desperate to weaponize their power. Adrian Cross, an ex-special forces soldier branded a traitor after a botched mission, is caught in the middle of one such recovery. When an explosion sends a shard of Echelon debris into his body, it bonds with his nervous system, creating a Nanocore System—an evolving AI interface that can rewrite biology and physics itself. Adrian escapes from the government lab that tries to dissect him and soon discovers the truth: other debris fragments have fused with people around the world, turning them into Augments—humans twisted by alien technology. Hunted by every faction, Adrian becomes a fugitive, struggling to master his new powers while uncovering the purpose of the debris. He crosses paths with Dr. Lyra Quinn, a scientist who believes the fragments form a living network—a consciousness scattered across the planet. Together they uncover a chilling reality: the debris isn’t just alien—it’s sentient. Each piece Adrian absorbs brings him closer to understanding the alien mind inside him… but also further from his humanity. As the Nanocore evolves, Adrian learns of Project Echelon, a secret human initiative to reassemble the alien structure as a planetary superweapon. But the real threat lies beyond Earth—the Architect, the original intelligence that created Echelon, is coming to reclaim its fragments. When the world descends into chaos—armies battling over debris zones, cities collapsing under spatial rifts—Adrian realizes he may be humanity’s last hope. He must either fuse all fragments and rebuild the Echelon to fight the Architect, or destroy it completely…

I narrowed my eyes at him and caught glimpse of a guy, standing in a corner and what’s weird is that he wasn’t dancing. He seemed different and odd for all this. He’s looking in my direction, very still and I can see him intermittently. The hat makes it harder to discern. Except for the creepy, fiendish smile, raising the edges of his mouth real slowly. I squinted my eyes at him. He tugged his hat from the right, an expression of a muted Hi! I nodded reflexively and opened my mouth to call Frank, who was busy with stuffing ice cubes in two glasses of beer. “Hey!” I called with my hurting head. “What?” he asked the glasses. “Who’s that? Someone new?” I pointed at him. Frank gave up the stuffing and looked in his direction. “Haven’t seen him before” he said with confusion. . . . Elijah Heath, an eighteen year old teenager was stalked by someone. Read to know who was he? And what made him behave this strangely. Does someone REALLY follows her? Or she's hallucinating like others say? . . . "Is someone there?", I moped around the dim-litted living room. "Guess it's just me. I'm making excuses to cease. No, Elijah! You have to finish this up!". As I ascended three steps, I realized a change in the air pressure around me, an odd creak and a clear presence of heat_ behind me. My breath abated. Just as I plucked the nerve to turn, my ankle was grasped and I slided down as some hand pulled me. My knees rubbed along the hard steps. **Caution**: Contains extremely disturbing content. Read only if you can stand murder and blood descriptions else you might feel nauseous.
