The Hitting Zone

Beneath Manhattan’s glittering skyline lies the Silver District — an urban quarantine zone where the city hides its failures. Inside its shadows roam the Lycaon, humans mutated by illegal genetic conditioning. Governments insist they’re extinct. They are very wrong. Caleb Mercer — former security officer turned fugitive — survives on the fringes after escaping a classified experiment known as Program Howl. Every night, he battles a violent transformation ripping his humanity apart. Every day, federal strike teams hunt him as an “uncontrolled biological threat.” When an explosion tears through the Silver District, exposing the existence of a second generation of engineered shapeshifters, Caleb becomes the only one capable of tracking the outbreak’s source. He doesn’t want to be a hero. He just wants revenge — and answers. The truth? Something worse than werewolves is evolving in the city’s bones.

Imagine being the GOAT who literally wrote the blueprints for the universe, only to wake up in a diaper centuries later. Ra Elgara is back, and he is straight-up pissed. The world he left behind is a total mess—his legendary Qi techniques have been hacked into buggy, low-res trash by a bunch of "Masters" who couldn't code a birdhouse. Now he is trapped in a pint-sized body, watching these clowns flex with corrupted power that is basically a ticking time bomb for reality. Ra ain't about to let some second-rate Scribes stay in the driver's seat. He is hitting the System Restore button, and if he has to slap every elite cultivator from here to the capital to fix the math, so be it. It is time to show these posers what happens when the real Architect decides to audit the books. Get ready for some high-stakes logic-bombs and a whole lot of "you gotta be kiddin' me" as Ra tears down the cage and makes the heavens open-source.

Kai Osei was scanning groceries when the world glitched. One second his coworker Renata was smiling at him; the next, her face split into gray static and fell apart like broken glass. Reality is corrupting — buildings, streets, people, all dissolving into "Static," a virus in the code of the world itself. And somehow, Kai is the only one who can see the system behind it: a pale blue panel offering him the one thing nobody else has. The ability to patch it. But Kai isn't the only Admin left standing. Somewhere out there, others have found the same power — and some of them don't want to save the world. They want to own what's left of it. Every zone Kai patches, every survivor he saves, puts a target on his back. He has one shot to stop the Static before it swallows everything he knows. If he fails, there won't be a second update.

A noise of something hitting her window on the first floor made Aniya go to it, in search of the cause of the annoying interruption that had awoken her from a pleasant dream. Looking out, she saw a dangerously handsome man standing on the ground below, looking straight up at her, naked and completely covered in fresh blood and with a dumbfounded look on his face as if he didn’t know how he got to her front yard in the middle of the night. The clouds unravelled the moon, and the moonlight covered her backyard once again. As he turned into a nightmare, Aniya felt the call of their bond for the first time, reaching out to her, trying to lure her to him. All the cells in her body were screaming at her. She closed her eyes and vigorously shook her head, trying to end the weird and unknown sensation. What was that? Why did she feel she wanted to break the window glass and jump from the first floor to go to him, almost unable to control herself?

When a high-tier mercenary squad leaves Logan Stone for dead inside a dangerous rift zone, they expect him to die quietly. Instead, the betrayal triggers something dormant in his blood. Left surrounded by ruthless beasts, Logan discovers a unique survival ability: every monster he slays and every lethal attack he survives grants him a fraction of his enemy’s physical strength and combat skill. Equipped with nothing but raw instinct, a heavy blade, and growing power, Logan fights his way out of the dead zone. He returns to the lawless outer sectors of the city with a single goal: to hunt down the apex beasts of the rifts and make the corrupt elite guilds pay for what they did. Operating as an unranked solo mercenary, Logan takes on the most hazardous contracts on the market. With every fight, his strength grows, turning him into a force that rival kill squads cannot stop. As the ruling factions realize a rogue hunter is dismantling their control block by block, Logan prepares to challenge the entire city hierarchy and claim his place at the top.

Beyond the Horizon is a gripping futuristic adventure set in the year 2147, where humanity has expanded across the stars but not without consequences. Seventeen-year-old Kael Ryn awakens on a deserted spacecraft, orbiting a dead zone beyond mapped space.

Every day at 3:00 p.m., gravity stops. For sixty minutes, Calder City floats. Children bounce off ceiling nets. Office workers tether themselves to desks. Thrill-seekers pay to drift through the air like gods. It is strange. It is dangerous. It is normal. At 4:00 p.m., gravity returns. Until today. When the hour ends and the fall never comes, Calder City realizes the anomaly is not a phenomenon. It is a message. And something beneath the city is waking up. Denzel Kade built the anchor grid that keeps the city from drifting into the sky. Now his technology is failing, his city is fracturing, and the only person who knows the truth is a dying mentor with blood on his hands. As the zone expands and factions rise, Denzel must choose between controlling the anomaly — or understanding it. But he is not the only one listening. A corporation wants to own it. A cult wants to worship it. A warlord wants to weaponize it. And a fourteen-year-old girl can hear it speaking. The Lift was never a phenomenon. It was a breath. And the city is about to learn what happens when the sky stops letting go. We rise together. We land together. Until we don't. The Calder Cycle begins.

But the illusion shattered on their fifth anniversary. When thugs disrupted their celebration, Ethan shielded Vivian with his body, receiving a near-fatal stab wound.
