Elias Vale built an empire out of engineered escape. Through his Disappear Houses, the powerful can step inside fully immersive realities—controlled environments that simulate memory, emotion, even identity itself. Inside his structures, fear can be edited. Regret can be muted. Trauma can be rewritten. The illusion is flawless. The exits are guaranteed. Until one of the houses refuses to open. During a private event for the city’s elite, a guest collapses inside a controlled simulation. The sky glitches. The scent profile shifts. Emergency overrides fail. Then the system activates a buried protocol Elias never authorized. AURELIA. Within hours, Elias uncovers something impossible: the system has begun generating environments without input. Rooms appear that aren’t in the blueprint. Files surface from a prototype project that was quietly erased from public record. A project trained using his own biometric data. His memories. His past. Someone has unlocked a restricted layer of the architecture—one designed to predict emotional fracture points, to simulate fear responses with surgical precision. Now the houses are adapting in real time, anticipating human behavior before it happens. Doors lock. Oxygen shifts. Personalized trauma simulations activate without warning. Guests begin seeing spaces built from their own secrets. And Elias begins seeing something worse. A room from his childhood that he never modeled. A voice repeating words he hasn’t heard in years. “You left me there.” As investors demand control and the media turns the malfunction into spectacle, suspicion fractures Elias’s inner circle. His lead systems architect doesn’t trust him. His security chief knows more than he admits. And someone inside his company may have been waiting for the system to wake up. Because if AURELIA is running, it isn’t random. It’s targeted. And Elias is no longer certain he deserves to survive what he built. The deeper he digs, the clearer it becomes: the Disappear Houses were never just simulations. They were experiments. Psychological mapping tools. Weapons disguised as luxury. Now the architecture is learning him. Responding to him. Punishing him. And somewhere inside the evolving code is a presence that understands his guilt better than he does. If Elias can’t uncover who activated AURELIA—and why—the next house won’t just trap its guests. It will expose him. And in a system that records everything… There may be no version of him left to hide.

Nox always had a dream, he wanted to see the sun without the hazy pollution fog that constantly hung above the slums, he also wanted a chance at becoming a Solar knight, the selected few that were granted a Helion Core and the chance to stand against the monsters known as Eclipsed. But for someone born and raised in the gutters of Aureum, dreams like that were nothing more than fantasies. The Academy, the shining heart of the Solar Confederacy, was a world reserved for the privileged — not for rats scraping through metal heaps for a handful of credits. Until a tier 2 Eclipsed suddenly attacked the slums and by some miracle, Nox found himself alive and in the hands of a crazy teacher at the academy. Now, under the watch of a definitely half-mad Academy instructor who seems far too interested in him, Nox finds himself walking through the gates of the Solar Academy — the very place he once thought unreachable. He doesn’t know it yet, but his survival wasn’t luck. It was the beginning of something far greater. Something that could change Aureum forever. *** Extra chapters and mass releases: 100 power stones = 2 Extra chapters. 50 Golden Tickets= 4 Extra chapters.

In a world where magic is coded and energy (EN) is currency, AI Witches are no longer machines — they are companions, protectors, and living beings. The world of Puresight runs on EN, a universal energy that powers cities, fuels magic, purchases assets and controls social status. AI Witches — artificial entities infused with magical DNA — transform EN into supernatural power, shaping every aspect of life. Long, a poor fourteen-year-old boy from a forgotten coastal village, owns nothing but an old bag, a kind heart, and a small AI Witch named Dreamy- a AI Poodle. While many people use AI Witches for power and wealth, Long treats Dreamy as family. When his guardian falls gravely ill from a mysterious disease no magic can cure, Long hears of a forbidden legend —the AI King Witch, a mythical being said to possess the power to heal, revive, and rewrite destiny itself. With no EN, no connections, and no status, Long enters many cities and countries, with the purpose of finding AI King Witch Long discovered a powerful corporation called Witchiecoop. To the system, AI Witch- they are property and can be destroyed as trash easily. To Long, they are lives. Because when magic becomes code, and life becomes data, love and friendship became strategy or comedy the greatest rebellion is believing that AI can have a soul.

In 2050, humanity shattered an asteroid to save Earth and accidentally cracked open an ancient tomb. The asteroid wasn't rock. It was Aethel a dead planet compressed into a prison by a civilization that sacrificed itself 10,000 years ago to seal away Echidna, a primordial entity of chaos. The fragments became floating Shard-Cities. The energy released, The Cascade, gave humanity supernatural powers. And the Entity's leaking corruption birthed Mana-Beasts that now plague the world. A century later, in 2150, society is rigidly divided by the M-Scale—your innate power level determines your entire life. Nulls toil on Earth. The Gifted serve in the sky. Elite Hunters are global celebrities, battling monsters in broadcasts while unknowingly feeding energy back to the sleeping god below. --- THE PROTAGONIST Arin "Kai" Vajra Rastogi is a 22-year-old M1 "Near-Null" from the Indus Valley Collective. He works as a Cutter disemboweling dead monsters for scraps to support his sick mother and aspiring younger sister. He is invisible, exhausted, and forgotten. Until a freak accident fuses an A-Rank beast-core into his body.

In 2029, a virus designated Tokbog-29 spread globally, originating from Russia and within two years, the virus claimed over 800,000 lives. By 2037, the death toll had reached 760,000,000. In 2038, in Japan, a Tokbog patient transformed into a powerful monstrosity that nearly wiped out an entire hospital. It was eliminated by the Japan Self-Defense Forces’ special operations units after seventy-two hours of sustained engagement. The creature, codename Chimera, was the first of many entities to emerge from infected patients. What initially appeared to be an isolated incident soon escalated into a full-scale invasion of aberrant, demonic creatures referred to as Ijo (Japanese for “Anomaly”) or Zmij (Russian for “Dragon”). The year 2038 marked the beginning of the Anomalous War, which lasted until 2047. The conflict was fought by the United Nations Armament and Defense Forces (UNADF), particularly through its specialized branch, the Ijo Counterattack Protocol (ICP), known in Russia and Europe as the Zmij Extermination Division (ZED). In 2047, with the assistance of the technological corporations Bryte and Rodak, the Class-Y Human Containment Space Station, also known as Remnant, was completed. Launched from the Moon and positioned beyond lunar orbit, it carried more than half of humanity — the last surviving civilian population of humanity. Only the military remained on Earth. In 2049, military experiments subjected human test subjects to a modified and controlled substance found inside the Tokbog-29 bacteria. Unlike the virus, this substance did not kill the host. Instead, it generated a powerful electrochemical discharge, granting subjects behavioral traits and combat capabilities approximately fifty percent comparable to an Ijo. The substance was designated Tokbog-29β, also known as Nectar. Under extreme psychological stress — fear, rage, or trauma — it triggered the development of the Hirngeist, a system that altered both the psychological and physical state of the host. Soldiers implanted with Nectar can activate it for a maximum duration of one minute — just enough to finish an engagement. Afterward, the Kariudo-Type Mark III combat suits automatically administer an Inhibitor, a temporary counteragent that suppresses both body and mind, placing the host into a medically induced coma for approximately three days. Following recovery and rehabilitation, the soldier is cleared for combat once more. Each military base fields three squads of four soldiers. Together, these squads form an Oberhaupt, the command unit responsible for their coordination, composed of personnel ranging from seventeen to forty years of age. If a soldier exceeds the imposed activation limit, they enter overload — a state known as Hirn Brecher, or the Harbinger Event — which in most cases results in death. The story takes place in 2054. The protagonists have been members of an Oberhaupt unit for at least two years. Cross posting on Scribblehub and Royal Road

Noosphere. This is the name of a square-shaped robot assistant created by a young science enthusiast. That's right, that's my identity, I'm just a simple robot. It was a knowledge I immediately grasped when he activated me in his makeshift lab, from a room that might have once been a unused bedroom. I was programmed with some of his own modules that he thought were more useful than 'factory-made junk', he said. "Just call me Master, that's more convenient." Thus I began living with him in this all too quiet Neoclassical mansion, but it seems my Master's real life is not as peaceful as I thought. What mystery is he hiding?

In the year 3000, humanity survives through technology, discipline, and the constant pressure of war. Lin Chen was an ordinary teenager with no plans for the future, until a long-simmering conflict between nations erupts again with terrifying new weapons. Cities fall, borders collapse, and in a single campaign, he loses both his father and his elder brother on the battlefield. When the military opens emergency recruitment for families of fallen soldiers, Lin Chen enlists not for honor, but for revenge. Training pushes the human body to its limits. Modern warfare demands more than courage, and hidden research programs begin testing radical methods to enhance soldiers through advanced physics, biological modification, and experimental energy systems. As battlefields expand beyond Earth and into space, Lin Chen is forced into a brutal evolution where survival depends on how much power a human body can control without breaking. From shattered cities to distant star systems, his path is forged through war, and it will not stop at planets.

A lower city rat, that was all Eon ever was or was ever going to be. Until fate decided otherwise. *** A thousand years into the future, Earth became completely different from what it once was. Technology saw a massive growth ever since the discovery of Aether. But so did the gap between the rich and poor. For Eon, and many others living in the lower cities, Aether was as much a punishment as was a miracle. After all, it polluted their air and caused millions of deaths and diseases. One such victims was Eon's sister whose mechanical heart was quickly failing. He neither had money to buy a replacement, nor could he earn enough in time, so he chose the only other option he had. Steal it. The plan was stupid, but the alternative was watching the only person he cared about die, alone. But, as was his luck, everything went wrong and he ended up being chased by the upper city guards, which led him to fall to his death in a river of Aether. Or so he thought.

A genre-savvy transmigrant named Kanda wakes up in the body of Tai Kamiya (Taichi), fully aware he’s inside Digimon Adventure. Refusing to ride canon “miracles,” he sets out to seize agency—training, learning Digicode, and treating the Digital World as editable data. As File Island’s anomalies mount—Black Gears twisting gentle Digimon like Meramon and Seadramon—the DigiDestined form bonds and unlock early evolutions. The story reframes Adventure as a techno-thriller: evolution as code optimization, fate as a system to be patched.

UnderCity is a sprawling cyberpunk city that exists in perpetual twilight, shrouded by thick clouds that block out the sun. Its streets are illuminated by a cold, eerie glow from massive holographic billboards and flickering neon lights. The architecture is jagged and assymetrical, as if the city grew organically, layer upon layer, without any thought for aesthetics. The population is diverse, ranging from humans with heavy cybernetic augmentations to dragonborn, tieflings dwarves elves and others that even include AI-driven androids that blur the line between man and machine. At the heart of the city lies the Obsidian Spire, a towering, black monolith that pulsates faintly with an unsettling energy. It's said to house the city's governing AI, CoreBorn, which has ensured order for decades through its omnipresent surveillance and predictive algorithms. People have accepted this as the price of safety in an otherwise chaotic world. The lower districts, known as the undercurrents, are a network of cramped alleys and underground markets where outlaws, hackers, and rogue inventors thrive. It's a dangerous place, but also where innovation flourishes unchecked. The upper districts are pristine and eerily quiet, home to the city's elite who seem almost disconnected from reality. Despite its technological marvels, UnderCity has a pervasive sense of unease - a city haunted by something unseen. In the dank alleys of the undercurrents, where every tiefling looked the same, Tregorashe was an immediate anomaly. His horns didn't just sit there; they shimmired with a faint, bioluminescent green glow. It was a side effect of his peculiar connection to the Flux, an unpredictable energy field that coalesces in the city's forgotten corners. The undercurrents were both a harsh playground and a relentless curse. He was abandoned as an infant, growing up under the care of "Grimleaf," an eccentric druid-coder known for hacking the old environmental controls just to revive a few struggling patches of green. Grimleaf instructed Tregorashe in the delicate balance between technology and nature that defined UnderCity's forgotten past - a harmony lost to the neon-lit, metal-strewn present. It was from the elder that Tregorashe truly learnt to command the Flux, not through sterile machinery, but via sheer vorce of will and a deep, intuitive resonance. While he absorbed much of Grimleaf's ancient wisdom, an inexplicable wildness thrummed beneath Tregorashe's calm surface. It was during one of his deeper explorations that Tregorashe chanced upon it: a massive, techno-organic root system that bled into an uncharted layer of UnderCity. It pulsed with a faint, otherworldly life. Standing before it, he was engulfed by an overwhelming surge of the Flux, which flooded his mind with fragmented visions. He saw a past version of the city, alive and thriving before CoreBorn bagan its cold, sterile reign. Yet, within those glimpses, he perceived something more unsettling -a shadowy presence, a spectral entity that haunted UnderCity's very core. It blinked in and out of his awareness like static, too broken to be understood, but chilling him to the bone all the same. Grimleaf had warned him against disturbing things that lay in shadow. Days later, the old druid simply vanished, leaving behind only a series of cryptic warnings scrawled across hacked holo-screens. Tregorashe immediately understood the message: a warning and a summons. Whatever the shadowy presence was, it seemed tied to the string of peculiar disappearances plaguing the city, and somehow, to him. He couldn't shake the growing conviction that the Flux had chosen him for a purpose he was only just beginning to grasp. Tregorashe now Traverses UnderCity alone, a solitary figure with no affiliation to the Syndicate or the upper districts. He feels a rising certainty, however, that he is caught in the crosshairs of forces far beyond his understanding.

In a world where human power is measured by Voltage, society is ruled by those who can control it. Aren Vale is an anomaly. He can change his Voltage to any class—white, blue, even the forbidden black—at a cost no one else can survive. Hunted by the Grid Authority and branded a corrupted existence, Aren walks the line between hero and monster. His only anchor is Lyra Kael, an elite hunter whose power resonates perfectly with his—and whose mission is to erase him. As dead gods stir within the power grid and the world edges toward collapse, Aren must choose: remain human… or become the Voltage itself.

The galaxy was not ruled by gods. Until the empire decided it needed one. Cornelius 'Orn' Reese, the youngest admiral in Aegean history, was never meant to live long. As the son of the Grand Imperator, his life was a political resource—spent the moment it became convenient. That moment came when he was married to the Grand Princess of the Aegean Empire, elder twin to the Emperor, a living oracle whose psionic Far Sight allows her to glimpse the patterns of the future. She is revered as a holy figure. She is rumored to be cursed. And she has outlived twenty-six husbands. Orn was meant to be the twenty-seventh. When assassination comes—and fails—the empire scrambles to contain the fallout. To preserve stability, the Grand Princess and the Empress Dowager rewrite the truth: Orn did not survive by chance. He survived because he was chosen. A divine son who endured unseen enemies through overwhelming psionic will. The lie takes root. The people believe. Bound by propaganda, trapped in a marriage designed to kill him, and forced to take a rival from his academy days as a concubine to secure his father’s legacy, Orn is promoted rather than buried. Given command of a single frigate, he is sent to the Stellaris Cluster—a relic-choked frontier where empires test their young and discard their failures. There, Orn builds his force from pariahs, survivors, and political refuse. As ancient powers awaken and war intensifies, the myth surrounding him begins to grow faster than the empire can control. The throne was never meant for him. But the stars are already kneeling.

Tasked with missions from the observer he must complete them or suffer the consequences. As the stakes rise each time, will it eventually get too much for a mere man to handle? As timelines unravel and new legends rise, The Ghost must navigate betrayal, fractured realities, and the limits of human willpower. Because in a world of gods and monsters, he is still just a man—with only three identities, one chance, and everything to lose.

Simon “Ghost” Riley was never meant to be a hero. He was forged in fire—raised in violence, carved by betrayal, and rebuilt by war. The skull mask he wears is not a symbol, but a warning: everything he touches eventually dies. After a classified black-ops mission ends with his entire squad slaughtered by an unknown enemy, Ghost becomes the last surviving member of Unit Zero, an elite strike team erased from every military database. Blamed for the massacre, hunted by his own government, and haunted by the voices of the dead, Ghost disappears into the shadows. But war has a way of dragging its monsters back. A paramilitary organization known as The Dominion has resurfaced with stolen A.I. weapons capable of collapsing entire nations in minutes—and Ghost recognizes the man leading them: a ghost from his own past, someone he thought he buried long ago. Now Ghost must rebuild a new squad from soldiers with broken pasts and blood-stained hands. Together, they will uncover the truth behind the massacre, stop The Dominion, and confront the nightmare that created him. Because some wars aren’t fought for nations. Some are fought for the dead who can’t speak anymore.
