mind-bending

In the year 2093, Malcolm Voss is a rogue urban explorer and data smuggler who survives by stealing secrets from the city’s elite. When a high-stakes job goes wrong, he stumbles upon a device that shouldn’t exist—a Quantum Stabilizer, a relic of a long-buried experiment capable of bending time itself. Suddenly, Malcolm is being hunted by The Parallax Syndicate, a powerful group that has controlled time manipulation for decades. Forced into an uneasy alliance with an eccentric scientist and a hacker with a vendetta, Malcolm must unravel the truth behind the Chronos Institute before time itself collapses. But every use of the device warps reality, erasing people from existence and rewriting the future. As Malcolm races against time—both literally and figuratively—he realizes that the greatest threat isn’t the Syndicate, but himself. Can he control the power before he becomes the very thing he’s fighting against?

They thought he was dead. They thought they had won. Left for dead on the battlefield, Supreme General Asher Blackmoor of Drakmont was written off as a blind, broken man. His wife betrayed him, his parents were tormented, and his enemies celebrated his downfall. But Blackmoor doesn’t fall. He rises. Now, the man they believed defeated has returned—stronger, fiercer, and hungrier for revenge. Armed with a vengeance that burns brighter than the fires of war, he will crush anyone who dared to cross him, past or present. Because in Blackmoor’s world, no one escapes justice. They should have killed him when they had the chance. What does the General have in mind as he makes his comeback?

Johnny Lance was once an ordinary man with an extraordinary sense of responsibility. Growing up in the suburbs of New Veritas, he became the protector and provider for his younger sister, Claire, after their parents’ tragic death. Despite the hardships, Johnny built a modest life with his wife, Elena, and their young daughter, Lily. His dreams were simple: to give his family a better future. But the cracks in his life began to show when he risked everything to start a business with his charismatic best friend, Marcus Blackwood. What began as a partnership built on trust and ambition turned into betrayal. Marcus and Elena’s affair destroyed Johnny’s marriage, and Marcus’s ruthless business tactics forced Johnny out of his own company. Left with nothing—no family, no fortune, and no purpose—Johnny spiraled into despair. He moved into a dingy apartment on the outskirts of New Veritas, drowning in bitterness and regret. His longing to be reunited with his daughter, Lily, was the only light in his dark world. One night, in a drunken and reckless state, Johnny attempted to drive to see Lily, but a devastating car accident left him bleeding out on the brink of death. In his final moments, a mysterious message appeared in his mind: *"The Seven Deadly Sins System of Wealth has chosen you. Do you accept?"* Desperate for any semblance of hope or power, Johnny accepted. The system granted him his first ability: **Greed**, the power to see and manipulate opportunities for personal gain. With this newfound ability, Johnny rose from the ashes of his former life, using the system’s powers to amass unimaginable wealth and influence. His first act of “Greed” involved manipulating a failing stock, turning himself into a millionaire overnight.

They thought he was dead. They buried the truth with his name. But legends don’t die—they go dark. Darius Raines, code-named “Ghost,” was the government’s best weapon—an elite hacker and black-ops operative until the day he vanished in a fiery car explosion. Officially pronounced dead, Darius walked away from the lies, burned everything that tethered him to the system, and became a shadow in a city drowning in corruption. Five years later, Atlanta is a battleground. Billion-dollar empires are built on secrets, bodies disappear with no questions asked, and the same corrupt officials who tried to kill Darius now run the city from behind closed doors. But Ghost is back. And he’s not here for mercy. With a custom-built AI surveillance system and a hidden network of rogue insiders, Darius launches an all-out war against the syndicate that turned his life into a lie. His mission? Expose the Ghost Code—a black-file project that links murder, money laundering, and mind control to the highest levels of government. The catch? The only person who can help him unlock it is Amira Cole—the one woman who once believed in him and now believes he’s a traitor. Hunted by law enforcement, betrayed by his own team, and forced into a deadly cat-and-mouse game with the most dangerous man in America, Darius must choose: Save the city or save his soul. The Ghost Code is an urban mystery thriller that will grip your throat and refuse to let go. Full of brutal twists, high-tech warfare, street justice, psychological warfare, and a heart-wrenching romance, this is not just a fight for redemption—it’s a war for the truth. And in Darius’s world, the truth is never free.
