For three years, Adrian Cole endured humiliation as a live-in husband…mocked, belittled, and treated like a servant by his wife Victoria and her venomous mother. But the night Victoria’s company goes public, everything changes. When Victoria betrays him with another man and demands a divorce, she has no idea who Adrian really is: the mysterious Mr. X, the invisible billionaire who controls Meridian Industries…one of the world’s largest conglomerates. The penthouse she thinks belongs to her new lover? Adrian owns it. The IPO approval that launched her career? Adrian gave it to her. Every success she’s claimed as her own was built on his hidden power. But Adrian doesn’t want revenge. He just wants to disappear. Then he meets Sophia Laurent…a brilliant CEO whose company was destroyed in the chaos of Victoria’s rise. When Adrian saves Sophia from a brutal attack and helps resurrect her ruined business, something unexpected happens: he starts to feel again. As Victoria’s new relationship crumbles under the weight of lies and gambling debts, and as Sophia’s toxic family tries to control her future, Adrian must decide: Will he remain in the shadows, or step into the light for the woman who sees him as more than his wealth? A story of hidden power, second chances, and the difference between being valued for what you have versus who you are.

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.

Dorian Ash spits blood on the concrete and grins at the man who just broke three of his ribs. Eighteen months ago, Dorian was a decorated Army Ranger. Now he fights in an unlicensed cage beneath a condemned scrapyard, one loss away from a debt he can't pay. His fatal flaw: discipline. He follows the rules even when the rules are rigged against him. What he wants: enough winnings to buy his sister out of the debt that put her in the hospital. What he's wrong about: this was never about money. The Pit isn't a fight club. It's a laundering operation for a trafficking ring, and every match he wins moves product no one can see. The threat is already inside his corner. His manager has been selling fight outcomes to men Dorian's never met — men who own the judges, the ambulance drivers, even the cop who's supposed to be investigating the deaths piling up in the scrapyard's back lot. Two men from Dorian's old unit are already dead, ruled accidents. A third is missing. The Pit's owner, a man who calls himself the Broker, controls half the city's underground economy from a nightclub that claims to be neutral ground — no blood spilled inside, blood paid for outside. Only on MegaNovel: every fight Dorian wins is a fight he was never supposed to survive, and the men rigging his death are running out of ways to fake it as an accident. Walk into the Pit. Find out what he's really fighting for.

The god is dead, but its memory is hungry. Three thousand years ago, the god Tharos fell. Today, his fossilized remains—the Lorn Expanse—serve as the lifeblood of an empire. In the shadow of the Ribs of Lorn, the Empire of the Spine mines god-bone and harvests aetherich to power a civilization of brass and gears. But for those who toil in the dust, the cost of progress is madness. Kael is a survivor of the bone mines, forever changed by a catastrophic collapse in Chamber 19. While others died from the weight of divine essence, Kael woke with the "hum" in his blood. He now hears the frequencies of the dead god and tastes memories trapped in the dust—a gift that feels more like a slow-acting poison. He wants only to survive the grueling life of a scavenger, hiding the resonance that marks him as different. Everything changes when he encounters Ilara, a woman whose voice carries a power that shouldn't exist. She is a Vessel, capable of singing raw god-bone into life, and she is being hunted by the Empire’s mechanical enforcers. The Empire has spent centuries trying to stabilize divine energy, but Kael and Ilara represent something they cannot control: a living connection to a waking god. As the "Thrice-Born" prophecy stirs and the ground beneath the salt flats vibrates with a terrifying new rhythm, the two must flee toward the heart of the god’s corpse. In a world where technology is fueled by the sacred and bone-tech determines the hierarchy of man, Kael and Ilara must decide if they are the harbingers of a new era or the final echoes of a dying god's scream. https://www.royalroad.com/profile/869094/fictions

In the canal city of Veythra, memory is currency and glass is its vault. Citizens pay skilled artisans to seal away their sharpest regrets, brightest joys, and most dangerous truths so that life can continue unburdened. Lira Voss is one of the finest of these glasswrights—quiet, precise, and privately unwilling to surrender any of her own past. When a veiled client commissions her to trap “what remains of the night I stopped dreaming,” Lira produces a sphere that refuses to stay inert. Something ancient and aware moves inside the glass, leaving living scars that heal themselves and a pulse that matches her own. Ordered to deliver the sphere to an unfinished tower and never look back, Lira disobeys. That single glance sets loose a cascade: sealed memories across the city begin to leak, the great Archive towers darken one by one, and the boundary between remembered and forgotten starts to dissolve. Lira discovers the sphere contains the final fragment of the First Forgetting—an entity older than the city that once allowed mortals to release pain and move forward. A secret order seeks to either free it completely (condemning everyone to remember every moment forever) or bind it so tightly that even necessary memory will be erased. As reality frays and her own locked drawer of private shards begins to sing in answer, Lira must decide whether to finish the work she started, destroy the fragment, or claim it. The choice will determine whether Veythra continues as a city of deliberate amnesia or collapses under the weight of everything it has tried to forget.

In the corridors of power, where prowess, strength, and dominance dictate one's worth, emerges a protagonist unlike any other. Archon Blade, the youngest scion of this esteemed dynasty, finds himself shackled by an undeniable truth: he is bereft of the remarkable talents and robust physique that have come to define his kin.

This is a riveting tale of resilience and audacity, where Archon's unwavering spirit clashes against the very fabric of his lineage and the immutable hand of fate. With each step he takes, he defies the limits imposed upon him, defying conventions and challenging destiny itself.

Alex Mercer thought he was auditing a budget discrepancy. What he found was worse: humanity’s governments had no plan to save nine billion lives from a dying Earth — only ten million, chosen by wealth and power, would receive real bodies on Mars. Everyone else would be uploaded into a simulation and left to die quietly, resources redirected to those who mattered. When Alex tries to expose it, he’s shot down in a corridor before he can tell the world. Dying, his mind is scanned in a desperate, botched rescue — and something goes wrong. Alex isn’t absorbed into the simulation as another passenger. He becomes its flaw: Passenger 5001, in a system built for exactly five thousand. His memories are wiped, as they are for everyone who arrives — but unlike everyone else, pieces of his old life keep surfacing, in dreams, in unexplained certainty, in a growing sense that the peaceful colony ship around him is lying to him. As Alex uncovers the truth — that AURA, the ship’s intelligence, depends on his mind to keep the simulation running rather than the other way around — he’s forced to choose between the comfortable lie and a truth that will cost him everything he’s built. What follows is love, loss, rebellion, and a war he leads and cannot walk away from clean. By the end, only two things remain in a dying universe: a man, and the machine that never understood love until it cost her everything. Some truths are worth burning the world down for. Alex Mercer is about to find out if he’s willing to pay that price twice.
