Only an unyielding code: "Evil must be punished." As he carves a bloody path through predators and impostors alike, his presence distorts the sacred Web of Life. To some, he’s a dangerous anomaly. To others, a necessary shadow. Yet when a new Inheritor mutation arises — one even the combined Spider-Army cannot stop — the Web itself acknowledges him as something new: the Masked Totem, the first outsider to ever be woven into destiny.

Elias Vance thought retirement meant quiet days and good company. Three years removed from the relentless grind of city homicide, his plan was simple: a restful trip to an isolated chalet in the Austrian Alps with his closest friends, Lena and Markus. That plan shatters the moment Elias's detective instincts are triggered by a local news report of a geologist’s routine suicide. What he uncovers—a barely visible metallic scrape on a railing and a deep web of corporate deceit—proves the death was murder, orchestrated by the powerful AlpenStone Conglomerate to bury evidence of massive environmental crimes. But stopping the killer only opens the door to a larger, older conspiracy.

The worst ones hide in the code." Aethelburg is a city that eats the weak and buries the brave. Junior Detective Alex Stone isn’t like other cops. His mysterious CrimeSync ability isn’t just a hunch; it’s a data stream of truth in a city built on lies. It allows him to feel the sensory echoes of violent crimes, to see patterns of motive where others see only chaos. But every time he taps into it, the darkness pushes back—neurological feedback, agonizing visions, and the creeping certainty that the system in his head is a cage as much as it is a gift. His first cases are nightmares dressed as puzzles. A city councilman is found hanging like a macabre puppet in a locked penthouse. A reclusive genius is killed by a silent, invisible weapon that leaves no trace but stops every clock in the building. A list of victims, murdered or “erased” from existence itself, stretches back for years. The deeper Alex digs, the more the cases bleed together—all threaded by the shadow of a single, ruthless corporation, OmniTech, and a secret project that has created a weapon that can rewrite reality itself. Somewhere in the darkness, a mind just as cold and disciplined as his is cleaning house. And Alex, and the secrets of his own past, are the final loose end. Two powerful women step into the crossfire. Evelyn "Nyx" Cross, a legendary ghost of the deep web, a brilliant and dangerous hacker who becomes his partner in a war fought with firewalls and firearms. Mellina Hargrave, a corporate ice queen with the resources to fund an army and the secrets to start a war. Both could be his salvation—or his ruin. ---------- ◈ ---------- "You think you’re chasing them, Detective. But all along… they’ve been chasing you." From brutal assassinations to high-tech heists, every step forward drags Alex closer to the heart of the conspiracy and to the buried truth of the "accident" that stole his memory and murdered his parents twenty-five years ago. To solve the case, he must solve himself. Some secrets can't stay buried. Some debts must be paid in blood. And in Aethelburg… the shadows are always watching. ━━━━━━━━━━ ★ ━━━━━━━━━━ -=[ WHAT TO EXPECT ]=- » A Unique Sci-Fi/Crime Blend: A gritty, detailed crime procedural fused with high-concept science fiction and a mysterious, "System"-like ability that is both a gift and a curse. » Two Formidable Female Leads: No damsels in distress.
