Protective

To save his family, he had to stop being human. Twenty-four-year-old Jid has spent his life in the dirt, breathing the rust of the Bulwark slums. As the sole guardian of his younger sister, Sommy, his world is measured in scraps of bread and the hours of backbreaking labor he sells to the powerful guilds. He doesn’t dream of glory; he dreams of a roof that doesn't leak and a meal that doesn't taste like ash. But the world outside the walls is changing. The "Infected" are evolving, and the shadows are growing teeth. When a high-stakes raid into the forbidden zones turns into a bloody execution, Jid is the one left behind. Betrayed and gutted by the monsters in the dark, he should have died in the mud. Instead, something ancient and hungry found him first. Jid wakes up to a world he no longer recognizes. The pain is gone, replaced by a cold, mechanical pulse in his mind and a shimmering gold light in his eyes. A strange, haunting interface now dictates his every move, granting him powers that defy the laws of time and biology—powers that the ruling corporations would kill to own. But the "System" isn't a gift. It’s a tether to an outer-world threat that views humanity as nothing more than ink on a page, ready to be erased. Now, Jid must return to the city that abandoned him, hiding the monster he is becoming while using his new abilities to protect the only person he has left. He survived the death of his old life, but as the hunger grows and the "System" begins to rewrite his soul, Jid realizes the hardest part isn't surviving the dead—it’s surviving the thing he’s turning into. And whatever is coming for him.

Synopsis – The Unexpected Heir In the small county of Cadbury, within the bustling Tulzar metropolis of Vernada, Cruz Piper is mocked as a worthless man living off his wife Lesley’s family wealth. Scorned by his mother-in-law, Margaret Piper, and pushed aside so Lesley can be matched with Gerald, heir to an influential Tulzar family, Cruz endures humiliation in silence. But Cruz is not who he seems. Presumed dead years ago, he is secretly the heir to the Archer dynasty, the wealthiest family in the world, and an undercover spy working for his country. His disguise as a powerless husband has been his greatest weapon—until betrayal and heartbreak threaten to blow his cover apart. When Lesley divorces him under her mother’s pressure, Cruz loses his marriage but finds an unlikely new love. Fueled by years of ridicule, his patience breaks, and he sets a dangerous plan in motion. In secret, Cruz bankrolls the Piper family, raising them into sudden wealth through an anonymous investment—only to later reveal himself as both their benefactor and the heir they scorned. The revelation shakes Vernada and the world: Cruz Archer lives. Global markets react, enemies move against him, and old alliances fracture. The Pipers, desperate and humiliated, scheme to win him back, but Cruz is no longer the meek man they once controlled. As enemies close in and vengeance burns hotter, Cruz must choose between reclaiming his power as the Archer heir, burning his enemies to ash, or embracing the fragile possibility of love and redemption. The world thought him dead. The Pipers thought him worthless. They were all wrong.
