Each challenge, from treacherous mazes to combat arenas, forces them to confront not only their physical limits but their deepest fears.
As the Grid's tasks become increasingly brutal, Kai's inner turmoil intensifies. He begins to question the true nature of his friends and his role in this nightmarish game. Betrayal, deception, and manipulation weave a dark web that threatens to unravel their fragile bond. In a world where nothing is as it seems, can Kai overcome the shadows that cloud his judgment and find a path to redemption?

Project HALO by CGjorgensen
59 parts Complete
PROJECT HALO is a YA sci-fi thriller taking place in near-future Norway. It has speculative elements and will appeal to fans of dystopian works such as DIVERGENT, THE MAZE RUNNER, LEGEND, and BLACK MIRROR. All seventeen-year-old Charlie Walker wants is to be free of his father's stupid expectations. Stay in school? No thanks. Get a job? Nope. Stop cursing? Hell no. But if he knew his petty rebellion would result in his own kidnapping, he might've reconsidered. When Charlie wakes up at Norway's largest intelligence agency, the NIC, with a biochip in his brain, he faces problems bigger than his father's disapproval. Charlie is their first successful experiment, and when activated, the chip will give the agency unbarred access to his vital signs and location. So much for freedom. But before his biochip can be activated, a rogue doctor offers Charlie a chance to escape. In return, he has to find and keep a flash drive hidden from the NIC. At first, agreeing to the deal seems obvious. But when NIC sends agents to hunt Charlie down, he realizes the flash drive might be more important than he thought. He's faced with an ultimatum: hand over the flash drive, or a lethal virus will be released onto the population. If he obliges, his chip will be activated and he'll lose his freedom forever. If he doesn't, people will die-including his ex-friend-who-he-totally-still-hates. Including the charming hacker he has a crush on. Including his demanding father. Including himself. In a race against time and his own selfish thoughts, Charlie must decide who to trust with his deadly secret-and exactly how far he's willing to go in the name of freedom. - - - Trigger warnings: Death and dying, blood, swearing, syringes/needles, hospitals, alcoholism, anger issues, nightmares, kidnapping, being drugged against one's will, suicide mention, terrorism/terror attacks, guns/weapons.

In the heart of a meticulously controlled city, where every aspect of life is monitored and regulated by the all-powerful Dominion, Kai lives the life of a perfect citizen. As a data analyst, Kai spends each day ensuring the seamless operation of the city's surveillance and propaganda machinery. The outside world, known only as the wastelands, is believed to be a barren, chaotic realm inhabited by savages. But when Kai stumbles upon a series of encrypted messages revealing thriving communities beyond the city walls, everything changes. The messages, sent by a mysterious group called the Echoes, show a starkly different reality-one of resilience, innovation, and freedom. Driven by a newfound sense of justice, Kai contacts the Echoes and plans a daring escape from the city. Venturing into the wastelands, Kai discovers a world teeming with life and learns the truth about the Dominion's lies. Joining forces with the Outliers-those who have survived and thrived outside the city-Kai becomes part of a growing resistance movement. Together, they must rally the disparate groups, leveraging both Kai's insider knowledge and the Echoes' hacking skills, to challenge the Dominion's control. In a thrilling battle at the city's borders, the resistance fights to dismantle the Dominion's surveillance network and reveal the truth to the Citizens. As the first cracks appear in the Dominion's iron grip, the stage is set for a broader revolution and the hope of a unified, free society.
