Five years in chains. Five years in silence. Ava Hayes was stolen by someone she thought she could trust, and for half a decade she was nothing more than his captive shadow. When she finally claws her way back to freedom, the world greets her with questions she can't answer and stares that dig too deep. But freedom isn't the end. It's only the beginning. Ava is haunted by fractured memories, the kind that blur the line between reality and madness. Every knock on the door, every flicker in the corner of her vision, feels like him. Her captor. Her tormentor. The man who promised she would never escape. The truth festers beneath the surface, and the people around her are desperate to uncover it. But some secrets should never see the light. Because monsters don't just vanish when you run. Sometimes, they follow. Will Ava's fragile grip on her new life hold-or is her nightmare only just beginning?

America, near future. The alien 'Harvesters' occupy Earth, controlling major cities while suburbs descend into lawlessness. The occupation happened within days of the ships' arrival, leading to the collapse of government and military command. Mike Reeves, 34, a former electrical engineer at a mid-sized tech company, has an average build and looks. Living in suburban Phoenix when the invasion happened, he has no military background and is an ordinary guy who enjoys tinkering with electronics, homebrewing, and camping. His garage contains a workshop, tools, components, and many unfinished projects. The aliens didn't come to destroy humanity. They came for something much more unsettling: they came for us. But some humans started changing in ways no one expected-not turning into aliens, not staying completely human, but transforming into something entirely new. This is the story of a man forced to adapt beyond recognition while fighting to retain his humanity. Ordinary people face impossible choices, discovering that survival sometimes requires becoming what they never thought possible. Marauder: Circuit Breaker isn't about technology or invasion-it's about consciousness-what defines us, how much we can change while remaining ourselves, and what happens when evolution defies plans. The circuit has been broken. Something new is about to emerge.

Two thousand years in the future, the world is fractured. The privileged live in the skies, while the forsaken are left on the ground. Fragile alliances hold everything together, but rebellion brews in the shadows. A Warden's son begins to question his father's power. A rebel risks everything for freedom. And a prisoner with secrets holds the key to shattering civilizations. This is more than survival. This is the beginning of destiny. If Game of Thrones met Avatar, the result would be Ashes of Origin. ------ New chapters every Friday - follow to stay updated.
