Knox Symons, a cryptic and philosophical enthusiast, tediously revisits memories within his life as he transcends in search for answers of the totalitarian regime of the city. His struggle to reconcile with his past lead to the provision of a big hunt for mystery, and possibly the fate of dystopian leadership and governance.
Always living the life under the Overseer and the Creator's influence, two anonymous figures rumored to rule the city's regime, Knox always experiences the monotony of their tyrannical regulations against nonconformity to their unjust authority. Taken granted for, Knox's philosophy and the aid from rebels allow him to advance his knowledge and power. He also reveals a sole purpose of why he's here in the city and how he's destined for heroism.

Dogfights
It is the future, and mankind has succumbed to his mechanical impulses. The dominance of city life has created a world of brutality and paranoia, groomed by great syndicates who have succeeded in taking over the entirety of the nation. At the forefront is the Kenneth Corporation, led by the prospective Kenneth siblings, who seek complete mastery over their citizens. A slim hope resides in the troubled Kane Lauro. Previously conditioned as one of the elusive hitmen, Kane has led a life of constant death and worry. After escaping into the confines of suburbia with his wife, he is kidnapped and forced back into the city by the man in black, an unknown fanatic with secretive plans. Now Kane must once again work in the shadows, tasked with carrying out the assassination of the Kenneths themselves. It is here that the hitman will encounter the darkest parts of the city, along with all the corruption humanity has built up for the last century. His actions will lead to dire ramifications for the world as a whole-a world soon to fall.Lengkap
The Devoured Sons: Book One: Echoes of The Solemn Veil
Two generations after The Solemn Veil killed billions, AI Humanara rebuilt society, but not everything is as it seems. What secrets lie beyond the veil? The sun became our enemy, hurling lethal radiation through the Earth's suddenly and suspiciously weakened magnetosphere. Those who survived the initial onslaught cowered underground or in concrete towers, hoping to save themselves from man and elements alike. Just when humanity's future appeared most dire, the Benefactor emerged, sending his legions of AI Humanara to save the world and integrate with society. He was our savior-or so we thought. I lived behind the walls of Nashville, one of six districts inside the city-state of Athens. There was very little crime, and we never went without necessities. However, something about my life had always felt inherently wrong. I felt as if I were missing a part of my soul. After one elaborate night with friends, I discovered the simple yet elusive answer: freedom. As I pen this warning on the last day of a long life, I intend to share the truths I've unearthed about freedom, the illusions of peace, and the price of utopia so that you don't make the same mistakes we did. Thus, I invite you to go beyond the veil with me.Lengkap

Fra From Home: Far From Unaware
Fra is shaped by self-awareness, trauma, contradicting thoughts and feelings, and by being a failed nihilist all at once. He sees the world with unforgiving clarity and retells his experiences with a disgustingly honest, almost too-confessional voice; shameful thoughts, taboo urges, the parts that make us "bad" friends, and the desires we can't shake off. Therapy was supposed to fix him, yet all it ever did was make him more painfully aware of everything wrong. He knew the causes, the patterns, the diagnoses-none of it helped. He walked into every session already knowing the answers and walked out with nothing to do with them. A mind that understands itself too well and still can't heal is its own kind of hell. Despite wanting to be numb, he isn't numb enough to stop caring-yet not hopeful enough to start living the way he, or society, insists he should. Knowing exactly what's wrong yet having no idea what to do with that knowledge is only one of the many tortures his emotional intelligence has handed him. [This story is a 1st person view based one, Fra and the author are not the same person characters Like Ivan or other ones may be based on real experiences but aren't real people and made up]

Beneath the Shadowlanders
We knew something wasn't right from the moment we awoke. It was like something was missing - a part of our very souls - and we couldn't sense the deficiency, no matter how hard we tried. A hundred million eyes adjusted to the dark all at once, all surprised to be awakened so soon. We ran through our checklists of limbs and senses, drawing ourselves out of our dreams piece by piece. Some went back to sleep, unaware, unbothered, too tired to notice the difference. Some lay in bed, too anxious to stand until the light of dawn crept through their windows at last, and they were sure the monsters in their closets had gone back to sleep. Some leapt from their slumbers, more keenly aware than others that the missing pieces were important. But we didn't know. We couldn't have. Not until we found ourselves standing in the light and discovered: We no longer had shadows.Lengkap
