Wish knew the rules of survival better than most-learned them young, with bloodied knuckles and empty stomach nights in Midas's unforgiving underbelly. The city was a glittering lie, its promise of fortune thin as a hologram, reality lurking beneath: grime, corruption, and the unspoken brutality of those who wielded power like a blade. He'd climbed from gutter rat to Desire's most coveted possession, a sleek predator hidden behind the polished facade of a high-priced escort. At Desire, he learned the art of manipulation, sharpened his charm into a weapon, and turned his own body into a carefully constructed illusion, perfected to draw out the dark desires of Midas's elite. Now, those same skills were keeping him alive-but barely. Hunted by government agents and Solstice Corp enforcers, Wish was caught in a tightening noose, each breath of Midas's polluted air heavy with paranoia. Corporate mercenaries stalked his every move, and the gleaming towers around him felt more like prison walls, closing in inch by inch. Yet Wish thrived in chaos, his heartbeat strongest in the storm's center. Survival was never enough; he needed answers-why was he the target? What sinister game was playing out behind the corporate curtains? His only path was straight through the web of secrets choking the city. Trust was scarce currency, allies fleeting shadows. He would leverage every trick he'd ever learned, twist every whispered confession collected in Desire's velvet rooms into weapons of his own. The hunted would become the hunter. Wish knew the odds were steep, but then again, danger was his oldest friend. And in Midas, beneath neon-lit skies bleeding into smog-choked streets, the only way out was to fight-not just to live, but to tear down the gilded cage around him, piece by corrupted piece.

In the midst of war, two souls bound by duty and haunted by the ghosts of their pasts form an unlikely but unbreakable bond. Charlie Cross, code-named "Cipher" and an elite intelligence specialist and sniper, is a master of precision and secrecy. Ghost, a silent and mysterious operator with a past he keeps buried, thrives in the shadows of combat. Thrust together on dangerous missions, they learn to rely on one another's skills, trust, and unspoken understanding. But as the lines between ally and survivor blur, they must navigate the darker parts of themselves - and the battlefield - where the cost of loyalty may be more than they ever imagined.

Sequel to Hacking the Sun. [Updated every Tuesday]. In 2130, the world is still reeling from the collapse of the largest corporation. A recent crime wave has rattled the denizens of the old sprawl. Meanwhile, in the Union, terrorism is on the rise. Desperate for answers, shadow agents look to Jessica Leibzin, the Lynx, to search for clues and find those responsible. Another conspiracy, however, has seemingly taken root. To combat a hacker, you need another hacker. Unfortunately, they are a dime a dozen, and Jess has to navigate new circles of the underworld to quell the growing friction between aliens and humans. This time around, she's going to need more than a gravity board and forbidden AI. Surrounded by enemies on all sides, she's thrust headfirst into the fires of cyberspace and reality. Unbeknownst, the greatest threat doesn't lurk in the shadows or around the corner. It comes from the sky.

Just a Black Ops fanfic (Reboot Timeline) by BurntToast14

This is basically a novelization of my play-through of Black Ops Cold War but with a little bit of a twist and added lore, crossing over into Black Ops 6

Instead of a compelling description like one might find on a book's jacket, let me do this: The character basis is "Dexter meets Harley Quinn", in a story that is basically "The Walking Dead meets Logan's Run". A sociopath and his off-kilter companion hunt for escapees in post-apocalyptic America. Try it... you just might enjoy it! -SCS

The Neo-Metropol Heist by ChuckieRoberts

When the infamous Edward Helten is released from prison after a 35 year stretch for the biggest heist in recent history, he finds himself out for blood and determined to exact his revenge on the people that stole his life from him. He enlists the help of charismatic but hot-headed Artem Foxe and several other highly-skilled outlaws for the take of a lifetime. The thieves must infiltrate the most heavily fortified building in the city and find their way to their prize, risking their freedom – and their very lives - in the pursuit of wealth. They are chased every step of the way by a determined and dogged detective with a rigid sense of justice and purpose, trapped in a police force riddled with corruption and under the thumb of the shady corporation that really runs the city. Artem is in it for the money, but Edward is in it for revenge, making him dangerous, a loose cannon that could cause the carefully planned job to come crashing down around them.

The year is 2063. Technology in the 21st century has progressed beyond what anyone has ever dreamt of. Artificial intelligence has become an integral facet of everyday life, from transportation, business, and even in the world of medicine where many pay top dollar to have their organic forms cybernetically enhanced with technology and A.I. for life longevity. But at the same time, this technology is used to create synthetic android weapons of war. Among those weapons, a former Nation's Army combat android by the designation of AX-15. After being critically incapacitated in action, AX-15 was rendered unfit for service and was practically thrown out onto the streets. However, the android had been discovered by a smooth-talking mercenary that still found use for the combat androids' capabilities and given him the new name of Axis. The two go on to become the most feared hitmen in the underground, going by the name "Machina Mortis". Axis, with programmed loyalty to the mercenary and to the contract, suddenly has a glitch in his programming after an unexpected development during a mark which causes him to break from his prime directives and ignite a part of himself that Axis didn't know had existed.

War on Terror veteran, Eric Caine, is found wandering the streets of Miami with no memory of the car accident that left him there. Alone and suffering from PTSD, Eric is on a one-way road to self-destruction. Then a chance meeting at a bar begins a series of events that helps Eric start anew. When his new job relocates him to Venezuela-the land of his childhood-things, however, take an ominous turn as a catastrophic event threatens the stability of the country. Now Eric must escape an elite team of CIA assassins as he tries to uncover an international conspiracy in which nothing is what it seems.
