"Nerd Empire: The Accidental Deal"

Eli Ross is just your average high school computer nerd-brilliant with code but awkward with people. Living a quiet life in a small apartment with his family, Eli spends his nights exploring the dark corners of the web, driven by curiosity and the thrill of the unknown. But when a cryptic job post on the dark web offers him $300,000 for a "simple task," Eli's curiosity leads him down a path he never imagined.

With his family's mounting financial troubles pushing him forward, Eli takes the job-and quickly discovers the lucrative world of encrypted transactions for drug traffickers. What starts as a one-time gig turns into something far more dangerous, as Eli finds himself becoming the faceless supplier behind a growing drug network. He hides behind screens, manipulating people without them ever seeing his face. Eli recruits a team-Marcus, his unsuspecting childhood friend, and Tasha, a streetwise hustler-who know nothing about the boy at the center of it all.

As Eli's empire grows, so does his paranoia. Rival suppliers take notice, and law enforcement starts sniffing around. Detective Roger Klein, determined and relentless, begins piecing together clues that lead ever closer to the mysterious new player in town. With each new success, Eli's grip on his secret life tightens, but so does the danger surrounding him.

"Nerd Empire: The Accidental Deal" is a thrilling, high-stakes journey from obscurity to power-where a brilliant mind finds itself corrupted by the allure of wealth, secrecy, and control. In a world where anonymity is power, Eli must balance his two lives, but how long can he stay hidden before everything crashes down around him?

City of Masks: Vigilante origins

6 parts Ongoing Mature

Abominations, freaks, monsters; society has forever ostracized those who stand out. And when the discovery of a new mineral leads to people developing supernatural abilities, these "Abnormals" are treated no differently. However in the wake of a catastrophic event that left everyone wondering whether it was the end, everything changed. Now Abnormals are appreciated more than ever as an era of Superheroes was born, inspired by the heroes who saved the World! But this story isn't about those heroes, instead we follow Elliot Campbell, seventeen years later, in the waning years of Superhero popularity. Elliot is your average bystander who struggles everyday to stay above rock bottom, except for one big problem; he is an absolute loser, incapable of making correct decisions. That is until he is offered the power to change the course of his life forever. He could become an Abnormal or even more hopeful he could become a Superhero! Except that the way he would get his powers isn't exactly above board & the people he would be joining are fighting crime outside of the law. Is this the chance he must take to turn his life around or just another BIG mistake in a long long list of them?
