Code Collector

They hacked the human mind. They bent the world to their will. But they didn’t account for the boy inside the machine. Deep beneath the surface of the world, far from law and light, the Parallax Syndicate built The Oyster—a laboratory where thought could be weaponized, where obedience could be programmed, and where free will became a design flaw. From this hidden fortress, four scientists reshaped society, one mind at a time. Nations obeyed. Wars vanished. Peace reigned—by force. Their system was flawless. Their influence—undetected, undeniable. And their legacy? A boy born within their machine. Heir to their empire, molded by their intellect, trained to uphold their command. But beneath the precision they instilled, a question took root—What if humanity was meant to choose? Raised in the heart of this system, Kael Draven was meant to inherit it all. Trained by his father, Dr. Aurex Draven, Kael knew every code, every algorithm, every flaw. But unlike them, Kael believed in something dangerous: freedom. Now, with the world asleep under the Syndicate’s spell, Kael is the only one who can wake it. Armed with the Syndicate’s deepest secrets and haunted by the memories they tried to erase, he’ll spark a rebellion from within. The mind was their weapon. Kael will make it their undoing.

The year **** civilization has been reformed in a way to maximize economic production. It was called the Golden Civilization. However that was just the front, the world was divided into two areas, the Destitutes and Humans, and the humans had class, splitting into various factions bearing code numbers that were assigned to them once they were born, a world where everyone knew their limits and can never cross a boundary beyond their ability, promotions, and housing is only possible if you have a breakthrough. On the other hand, the Destitutes were an unwelcome species that inhabited the earth, looked like humans, and yet fed on humans.

Can the Elite Five succeed in escaping from the dark brink of ALAB University or will no one among the five of them survive?

Once a ghost, always a ghost. Ethan Vale, a quiet locksmith in East London, hides from a past that officially doesn’t exist. Years ago, he was an MI5 infiltration specialist — until a mission in Prague went wrong, his entire team was killed, and his name was erased. He’s lived in silence since. Until one rain-soaked night, a woman named Clara Daines bursts into his shop with a bleeding shoulder and a biometric case she claims holds evidence of a government conspiracy. Hours later, armed men arrive. Ethan’s calm life is shattered in seconds. When he opens the case, he finds something impossible — an active MI5 kill order with his name on it, dated that same day. Hunted by his own agency, Ethan partners with Detective Isla Hart, a sharp but idealistic investigator chasing a string of assassinations linked to a defunct MI5 unit known as Division 9 — the same unit Ethan once led. As Ethan unravels the mystery, he discovers Division 9 never truly ended — it evolved into The Consortium, a covert alliance manipulating London’s surveillance systems to engineer obedience. Every crime, every target, every “accident” is part of a digital control plan called Project Echelon II. The closer Ethan gets to the truth, the more he realizes: Division 9 didn’t just erase him. It rebuilt him — piece by piece. And now, the ghosts he buried are coming back… wearing his face. The final revelation will force Ethan to confront the deepest question of all: Is he still human — or just another trace in someone else’s code?
