Navel Play

The world is a machine built on a lie. Ethan is the bug that will break it. In the vertical city of The Hollows, your rank determines your right to breathe. While the elite live in eternal sunlight, Ethan Cole survives on the "scraps" of the lightless slums, a low-level clerk who just wants to stay invisible. Then the sky cracks. As the "System" initializes, the world turns into a lethal game. While everyone around him is granted the power of heroes and gods, Ethan is branded with a glitch: [Class: ERROR - CIVILIAN]. He’s supposed to be the first to die. But Ethan sees what the "Heroes" can't. He doesn't see monsters; he sees flickering code. He doesn't see magic; he sees unoptimized hitboxes. To the world, he is a nobody. To the System, he is a virus with Administrator access. Now, Ethan must climb the layers of the city he once feared, "deleting" the digital gods that treat humanity like fuel. He isn't here to play the game. He’s here to rewrite the rules. He’s not a hero. He’s the patch the world didn't see coming

The world has changed, because of money, resources are now slowly decreasing, to decrease the population and because of this, leaders all over the world decided to make a survival game. They called it "In Game." Experimenting people is now legal to make people become stronger and powerful to fight in what they called the national and international game. To reach the top and become as the most powerful person and to make their country the strongest. Animals that they made into monsters are now waiting outside the walls, forest, desserts, and even inside of the city to capture and eat their prey. Time where you know when you will die or how will you die. No freedom, undeveloped life, children can't go play outside anymore and forced murder. Do you still want to live in this situation? After so many years, one person with her group will come to change the course of time, will they be able to bring it back to normal? In the past where they could do whaterver they want, to do not include killing or torturing people by force. Where everyone will be happy and no longer have to suffer, where everyone have freedom to do what they want.

“Do you know who he is?” Aria whispered, her voice trembling. Her father scoffed. “Some nouveau riche fool trying to play king.” The man across the table smiled calm, sharp, untouchable. The room fell silent when he spoke. “It’s been a while, Mr. Elston.” The older man froze. Aria’s glass slipped from her hand. The name echoed in her head like thunder. Mikael. He leaned back, eyes unreadable. “Last time we met, you called me a waste bin.” “M-Mikael…” she stammered, her face pale. “Mr. Dray,” corrected the host beside him—her father’s new business rival. “My son-in-law and the current CEO of ValenCore Holdings.” The silence cracked like glass. Mikael’s smile deepened, just enough to sting. “Don’t worry. I’m not here to rebuild anything for you.” He paused, letting the words sink in. “I’m just here to watch what’s left… fall apart.”

He woke in a stranger’s bed with a system in his skull, a son-in-law title on his tongue, and a missing shard that can rewrite who you are. Arin Voss opens his eyes inside Voss Manor with no memory of how he died, and a cold voice in his head called the Protocol that gives him missions and penalties. To survive he must play the role he’s been handed, marry into power, and chase Tessera, a stolen memory shard that can erase or sell a person’s past. As he hunts, he slips between two dangerous alliances. Evelyn, the ice-smart heiress, offers politics and protection. Maris, a smoky broker from the docks, offers heat and truth. Both pull him toward very different futures. When brokers start dying and the Protocol’s orders threaten to cut away pieces of his life, Arin faces a choice. Obey the machine and trade his identity for safety, or tear the system down and risk being erased for good. Legacy, lust, and lies converge in a high-stakes game where memory is currency, and love might be the only leverage left.

"Oh shut up, please!" Olivia said dismissively without any hesitation, standing up and folding her arms to her chest. Jason looked shocked, his eyes moved to her, then to the others, who still hadn’t said a word in his defense. "Why have you chosen to be this useless?" she continued in a low growl. "You haven’t worked a single day since we got married. Maybe you just like sitting in that chair, being pitiful, and using it as your excuse for why you're a broke man." Jason’s teeth clenched. He wanted to defend himself, to explain again, but the moment he opened his mouth, Olivia raised a hand. "Don’t say a word, I’m not done. You think you can play the victim forever? My family paid for your therapy, flew you around the world, gave you access to the best doctors, and yet here you are, back with the same damaged spine and still sitting in that chair." She rubbed her forehead. Jason lowered his gaze, disappointed at her reaction but he didn’t talk.

"I was meant to take your father's blame, be jailed, and killed afterward so you could be with him?" Damian asked in a low, hurt voice, staring at Ravenna.

"You should be grateful you're out. Scram, Damian!" She said, spat on his face, turned, tucked her arm into her new man's arm, and stepped into his car without a backward glance.
