Upgrade

In 2045, an alien signal unleashed The Collapse, a nanotech plague that turned 90% of humanity into monstrous Shattered. Jace Kade, a disgraced exobiologist haunted by his failure to predict the catastrophe, survives in a crumbling bunker—until a cryptic AI, The Codex, awakens in his mind. It offers power: hack reality, evolve his body, and fight the Shattered. The catch? It’s a galactic test. Only one Codex-bearer can claim the Ascension Key to end the apocalypse—and others, including Jace’s estranged sister, Lena, will kill to win.As Jace battles mutants, rival survivors, and his own doubts, the Codex’s missions push him to the edge of humanity. Each upgrade makes him stronger but erodes his soul. With betrayals mounting and the aliens’ true purpose unraveling, Jace faces a brutal truth: the Codex isn’t saving Earth—it’s a trap to forge a new species. Can he outsmart the system, save his sister, and stop the aliens before he becomes the monster he fears? In a world where trust is a luxury and power is a curse, The Last Code is humanity’s final gamble.

What if your perfect life was a simulation designed to forge you into humanity's ultimate weapon? Ezren Hayes awakens to discover his elite boarding school is an elaborate virtual prison. His body, fused with alien biotechnology in an underground facility, grants him devastating abilities that evolve with each confrontation—from neural disruption to reality-warping chaos fields. But every power upgrade threatens to erase his humanity. He's one of thousands enhanced to fight the Devourers, an alien collective that has consumed 847 civilizations. Ezren's unique ability to disrupt their hive-mind makes him humanity's greatest weapon and most dangerous liability. Joined by medical prodigy Kira and tech genius Devon, he escapes into a global resistance network where his god-like abilities continue evolving. But when Ezren makes direct contact with the Devourer collective, everything changes. As Ezren's power reaches its peak, he faces an impossible choice: liberate billions of preserved minds who don't want freedom, or protect their chosen existence in collective consciousness? His decision will determine whether humanity joins the collective, faces extinction alone, or finds a third path no one imagined. A mind-bending journey where leveling up means confronting what it truly means to be human.
