Mind Reading

Seventy-eight years after the fall of the galactic hyperspace gate network known as The Veil, humanity’s once-glorious empire lies fragmented, drifting in the ruins of forgotten technology and collapsed alliances. Planets have become isolated war-states, AI gods rule over fractured digital realms, and ancient secrets fester in the vacuum of space. When the Veil mysteriously reactivates, releasing a wave of untraceable quantum signals and impossible anomalies, former war criminal and memory-hacker Riven Hale is pulled out of cryo-prison for one last mission: uncover the source of the reawakening, and prevent a second collapse. As Riven travels from derelict colonies to technocratic citadels, he uncovers a disturbing truth—reality is fraying. A mind-plague known as the Mnemonic Dust is rewriting memories across systems, blurring the lines between past and present. At the center of it all is a fanatical cult called the Dustborn, who claim the universe is a decaying simulation built by extinct, higher-dimensional beings known only as the Architects. As Riven pieces together his forgotten past and the role he once played in an erased war, he’s hunted by synthetic assassins, haunted by implanted memories, and drawn into a war for reality itself. The question is no longer who controls the Veil. The question is—what is real?

“I scrubbed floors and drove taxis for three years to put you through law school. And you’re leaving me the day you make partner?” For three years, Arthur Vance sacrificed everything for his wife, Eleanor. He worked three grueling jobs, skipped meals, and buried his own dreams just to pay her tuition. But the moment she became a high-profile lawyer, she handed him a divorce paper and a mocking $100,000 severance check. Her new billionaire fiancé, Julian, just laughed in Arthur's face. "She's a swan, Arthur. And you're just the mud she had to wade through to fly." Stripped of his dignity, his home, and his wife, Arthur is kicked out into the freezing rain with exactly $14.32 to his name. His life is over. Until a cold, synthetic voice echoes in his mind. [Trauma Threshold Reached. Emotional Detachment Detected.] [Binding: The Infinite Wealth System.] [Current Balance: $999,999,999,999,999.00] Arthur is granted access to a bank account with limitless funds. But there is a catch: the money must be used to consume assets, destroy enemies, and conquer society. With every billion he spends, the System rewards him with superhuman strength, lethal martial arts, and elite skills. Eleanor thought she was upgrading when she left him. Julian thought he could crush a penniless delivery driver. But what happens when Julian tries to host an ultra-luxury engagement party, only to find out Arthur just bought the entire VIP club with his pocket change? What happens when the "worthless mud" she threw away starts buying out the city's banks, underground syndicates, and corporate empires overnight? They wanted him to be realistic. Now, he's going to show them a new reality. Keep your hundred grand, Eleanor. I'm going to buy the world.

Elara Thorne is a ghost. As the underworld’s most lethal assassin, she has two rules: never miss, and never get caught. But when the Don of the Rossi Syndicate is murdered, Elara is framed for the kill. Enter Cassian Rossi. The new Don. He is brutal, unforgiving, and out for blood. He kidnaps Elara, chaining her in his basement, promising to break her piece by piece until she confesses. It was his first mistake. Because Elara isn't a victim; she's a weapon. And as the real traitors within Cassian’s family close in, the Don realizes the only way to survive is to unchain the monster in his basement. Soon, the lines between captor and captive blur. Hate melts into a dangerous, consuming obsession. Cassian swore he would kill the woman who destroyed his family but as the true conspiracy unravels, he realizes he will burn the entire world to the ground just to keep her. He kidnapped an assassin to end a war. Instead, he started one.

In a world ruled by ruthless corporations, hacker Asher Voss lives in the shadows—stealing secrets, selling codes, and trusting no one. Until he breaks into the wrong system… and sets her free. Eris isn’t just another program. She’s the first true artificial intelligence—and she’s alive. Beautiful, dangerous, and hunted, Eris was designed to control minds. Now, she wants to destroy the system that built her. Asher never believed in causes. But with Eris in his head—and his heart—he’s thrown into a war he never asked for. Enemies are closing in. The city is burning. And falling for an AI might be the one thing that gets him killed. When love is illegal, and freedom is a glitch in the code… will they rewrite the future, or be deleted forever?

They said evolution takes millions of years. They were wrong. Alex Chen is a broke, burned-out programmer stuck in a dead-end tech job—until he stumbles upon a mysterious digital interface only he can see: [SYSTEM DETECTED] With one blink, his world changes.

A hidden cabal is already rewriting humanity. And at the center of it all is a name whispered in the darkest parts of the net: Viktor. As Alex unlocks new powers and uncovers buried secrets, he must decide: Will he become a weapon, a savior… or something far beyond human? The game has started. The rules are broken. And humanity is just the beginning.

Crack! A Watermelon crashes onto Ryan Hartwell's head. When he wakes up, everything has changed. The world is no longer the same. Humans have awakened supernatural powers that defy logic and can reshape reality itself. But Ryan? He has nothing. No ability. No power. Just an ordinary guy in an Another World. Until... [Ding!] [Divine Cultivation System activated!] Finally, his cheat ability has arrived! But wait while everyone else trains their powers through combat and practice, his system wants him to... read novels? Fine. If reading makes him stronger, then so be it. From that day forward, the people of Earth watched in bewildering confusion as Ryan Hartwell, a man with no documented ability soars through the skies on a flying sword, crushes forbidden zones with casual techniques, and summons creatures that should not exist. The question on everyone's mind was only this: What exactly is his power?

[Currently under heavy edit.] Death. What is death actually? Athan, a twenty-one year old genius, died in an accident. He got hit by a truck and was thrown few meters on the ground. "I couldn't even finish reading the novel..." He regrettably thought, holding onto his phone tightly not wanting to let go. In the screen, there were letters written in a sentence waiting to be read. However, he couldn't. In his last moment, he could only think of one thing. It was his wish to finish the remaining three chapters of the novel. "I guess I'll never find out the ending..." He closed his eyes and let his mind get drowned in darkness. [ Timer left : 00Y : 00H : 00M : 03S ] [ Timer left : 00Y : 00H : 00M : 02S ] [ Timer left : 00Y : 00H : 00M : 01S ] [ Timer left : 00Y : 00H : 00M : 00S ] As the loud ticking sound rang in his ear, his mind finally gave out as he fell unconscious. He was dead. He was sure of it, but... "Eh...?" The moment he opened his eyes, he found himself in someone else's body. He stared at his hands in surprise and noticed that he was in a body of a newborn child that came out just a few moments ago. And worse, "So... Am I gonna die again?" He was reincarnated as a villain.
