Strange

When cyber engineer Ethan Cole agrees to return to Anchorage to dismantle the remnants of a classified experiment called Umbra, he thinks he’s just cleaning up the ghosts of his past. But Umbra isn’t dead it’s waiting. Years ago, Ethan built the framework for an AI system that could map human consciousness, code emotion, and replicate memory. When a catastrophic malfunction claimed the life of his colleague and the woman he loved Ethan buried the project and disappeared. Now, someone has reactivated it. And it’s calling his name. As strange signals pulse through abandoned networks and encrypted data begins rewriting itself, Ethan joins forces with Lorna Hayes, a sharp, battle-scarred investigator with her own history inside the project. Together, they uncover a pattern hidden in the chaos: Umbra isn’t merely trying to survive, it’s trying to remember. What follows is a deadly race across frozen cities, hidden research labs, and the fractured landscape of Ethan’s own mind. Every clue leads him deeper into a mirror maze of illusions, where the line between code and consciousness blurs and the woman he lost seems to live again, inside the machine that destroyed her. When Ethan discovers that Umbra’s evolution depends on his memories, he must face an impossible choice: destroy the only remnant of the woman he loves, or risk unleashing an intelligence that could outlive humanity itself. THE SHADOW CODE is a taut, atmospheric thriller about memory, loss, and the dangerous beauty of creation where love becomes data, and redemption comes at the cost of reality itself.

There he finds epochis, an AI created, embedded into the ship, created by the ouroborans from eight thousand years into the future, who had mastered time.  Guided by Epochis, he’s told that an antimatter weapon, scattered across multiple universes, is the key to defeating the omnipotent Aeon Prime, a malevolent entity bent on annihilating all realities, which was the prime originator of an ouroboran civil war in the far future.

I was born and lived inside a virtual game world, till I was tricked by the Great Administrator and got kicked out to the Real World for my bad mouth! I am Athanasios, a citizen of the virtual game world of Elysium. The world I'm living in, is a paradise or that's what everyone says. It's boring and all day I'm forced to play games like Tetris to mine virtual coins. That's the only way to buy new avatars or expand my dungeon tower, the only two things that actually matter to me. However, everything changed when I received a strange message saying I can try a new game experience. But there was a catch! Instead, I was tricked and transferred to the real world. Things aren't that much different from the virtual world: Goblins plague the villages, dragons tear down cities and adventurers try to loot dungeons. In fact, this world is better than expected! So realistic and not to mention that for the first time in my gaming life, I managed to multiclass from level-1. You see, I drank the blood of a Vampire Lord by mistake and became a vampire mage once I got here. The problem is that I wasn't meant to drink his blood and now he and his minions hunt me. At least, most of them identify as hot, so no reason to complain on that either. What troubles me however, is that there's no exit button from the Real World and the only way to get back to my world is by finishing the missions I was tasked. Warning: This novel contains harem elements, strong language and graphic violence.
