In the year 2036, the world celebrates the brilliant game developer Casimir "Cash" Novacek for creating the world's ultimate virtual MMORPG game. Aurarium allows its players to not only play in pre-designed game worlds, but also create their own scene, place, event or game world. Aurarium absorbs their ideas via a specially designed brain connection to the mainframe so their imaginings become a permanent part of the game. But Cash discovers a problem....
The multi-billion dollar company that funded his creation is using his ground-breaking brain-to-computer connection to siphon out any information it wants from the millions of players. To prevent them from stealing players' minds, and perhaps controlling them next, Cash determines to enter the game, visit his hidden administrative consoles only he knows exist, and shut them down.
Yet, as Cash enters his own virtual world, he discovers they're aware of his plan, have locked him inside Aurarium, and if he fails to find a way out, he'll die in the game...and in reality. And that's not the company's only plan for his removal. They've sent in an assassin to ensure his death.

Lunar Virus ✔️
Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!

MindStorm
In the year 2147, London is a city reborn. Above its cobblestone streets and medieval cathedrals, levitating highways hum with energy, and quantum towers pierce skies heavy with storm clouds. Beneath it all, secrets sleep in stone crypts, waiting for someone brave-or foolish-enough to wake them. Valen Drake, an elite Echo Operative, has a rare ability: he can see the spirits of the dead. Using advanced neuro-interface technology and ancient glyph systems, Valen helps lost souls find peace-and, sometimes, uncovers truths no living person was meant to know. When a simple case in an old mortuary turns deadly, Valen is thrust into a conspiracy that threatens the minds of everyone on Earth. The death of an elderly man should have been routine. But when his ghost whispers of an unfinished ritual and a mysterious newspaper headline appears out of thin air-predicting a catastrophic event called the Mindstorm-Valen realizes something has gone terribly wrong. Joining him is Elara Wynn, a brilliant and fearless cyber-neurologist with her own secrets to hide. Once Valen's fiercest rival, now his closest ally, Elara specializes in neural hacking and mindfield exploration. Together, they navigate Mindfields-virtual landscapes created from human consciousness, where memories can be altered, and nothing is as it seems. As Valen and Elara dive deeper into these unstable realities, they uncover a terrifying truth: the Mindstorm is no accident. Someone is manipulating humanity's collective consciousness, turning the world into a ticking time bomb of shared nightmares and psychic terror. And the key to stopping it lies with Valen's own haunted past-and a love he thought he'd lost forever.

In a world with no sun and bloodthirsty creatures roaming the all consuming dark, the only places still safe are the small compounds that managed to get walls up before all came crashing down.
