An Eluki citizen is willing to sacrifice anything for the well-being of the country. It was Eluki Code to sacrifice your privacy and, when it is necessary, your body for the nation. Anyone not willing to do so is worthy of investigation. Xander Long, a new Ini Soldier, is no longer willing to do so. The idea of lending personal data didn't bother him, but the promise of human "upgrades" from KaiHue Inc. and Ini Corps sparks his distrust.
As Xander crosses the line between dedicated patriot and country conspirator, the No Sleep Society mantra bangs in his ears.
No Sleep. Eyes Open.

Blood of Mars
Beauty is skin deep...but blood lies just beneath the surface... In 2035, the first colony on Mars was established. Only a year after, it cut off all contact from Earth, and its inhabitants were presumed dead. They were wrong. In 2037, the skies of Earth were smothered by darkness. The Martians returned to the place they once called home...and they were no longer human. The people of Earth were crushed by the bloodthirsty, vampiric Martians and reduced to little more than livestock for their flesh and blood. Two decades later, in what is now known as Neo Tokyo, Mana Tsugumi lives an oblivious existence among the groveling, impoverished masses, turning a blind eye to the cruelty surrounding her, until a fateful encounter nearly ends her up in the clutches of the hungry vampires. With her eyes wide open to the perils of the outside world, she must make a dire choice- submit and remain livestock, or fight back to regain her humanity.Complete
Old Blood
When humanity's survival demanded monsters, they made them. The mistake was believing they could ever be controlled. Nearly 125 years after the Vampire War, cities shine again - glittering towers of comfort and order - but their foundations are built on ash. Outside the walls, wastelands crawl with outliers, scavengers, and whispers of old loyalties that refuse to die. Nicolas Weiss, the first of his kind, carries the weight of a century of blood and betrayal. He thought he had ended it all when he put a blade through Suki, the woman he once loved and the mother of his daughter. But ghosts don't stay buried - and some refuse to remain ghosts at all. Anika, the daughter who grew up under Suki's shadow, finds herself torn between the father she can't forgive and the mother she fears becoming. And Kira, Nicki's lethal protégé, hides truths she can't even admit to herself. Together, they must navigate fragile alliances, old betrayals, and a rising threat that promises "protection" but demands obedience. Because Suki isn't simply back. She has a plan - one that could enslave what's left of humanity. And family is the sharpest weapon of all.
The Last 0-Day
The cybernetics revolution knows no compromise. Luciana Gutierrez, a police officer, works ninety-six-hour shifts with a eugeroic hangover around the corner. Her investigation into those who stole her life is sidelined as a crime syndicate turns her precinct into a war-zone. Sent for backup, she's offered experimental technology that could turn the tide, if she's willing to risk mind, body, and soul. Anton Grissom's birth was a crime, and his sentence is military service. Molded into an elite soldier, his path of atonement falls away when he's caught on the losing side of a massacre. In the aftermath, he's offered a second chance at life-if he's prepared to pay. Weaver heals the broken and disposable, and in the process makes cybernetics a reality. Superhuman strength, intelligence, and connections to one another, it could solve humanity's problems or tear society apart. But those concerns are secondary to Weaver, who just wants to see the next sunrise. All three are augmented for their own personal crusade and are on a collision course that will change the world. The Last 0-Day is an action-packed adventure about the start of the cybernetics revolution. It's Black Mirror meets Malazan Book of the Fallen with a dash of cli-fi.

"Neon Without Wires" Elisabeth Wissenfurth (Lizzy Wizzy) x female AU Story
In an alternate Night City, the infamous V never became a mercenary. Born in the blood-soaked alleys of Heywood's slums, V carries the raw grit of a Streetkid, but a rare genetic condition prevents her from ever receiving cybernetic implants - a cruel irony in a society where progress is flesh-deep. But this limitation becomes her power. V becomes a pop sensation - the only "Natural" singer in Night City - marketed as the last pure human voice. No digital filters. No synth-vocal enhancements. Just unaltered breath, pain, and sound. And in the chrome-drenched world of faux idols, she becomes an icon... and a target. Rogue Amendiares, the Queen of Afterlife, takes V under her wing, not as a fixer, but as a protector. She sees V not as a product, but as a daughter - a rare chance at redemption for the people she couldn't save. Rogue funds her rise, guards her soul, and shapes her career from the shadows. But when Lizzy Wizzy - cyber-sculpted superstar and philosophical narcissist - becomes obsessed with V, the story spirals into a psychological and romantic war between identity, technology, and control. Lizzy wants V. Not just the body. Not just the voice. But the soul untouched by chrome. She wants to understand it. To own it. To love it... if she can. And V? She can't tell if she wants to destroy Lizzy, become her, or be consumed by her.Complete

The question was - why were the strings of fate bringing them together? •○• 18 year old, sharp and vigilant Cara Arnel was one step away from slavery freedom and being sold.

And a bit too many supernatural males were willing to protect her for no reason whatsoever. Turns out, Cara might not be as insignificant as she thought. Yet, she was undoubtedly human. And it seemed, she wasn't as well informed of her past as she thought. If her memories were the ones to be relied upon. At least.......the ones she had of this life. •○• Shortlisted for Wattpad India Awards 2021 (Please don't copy the story line. It's all mine. A figment of my imagination.
