In the glittering, high-tech city of Eos, memories aren't just personal-they're a commodity. Kael Reyes is a "blank," a courier with no past and no memories, surviving day by day in the shadowy world of the underground memory trade.

When a routine delivery goes wrong, Kael finds himself in possession of a stolen neural chip that holds the truth about NeuroVale, the corporation controlling the city through memory manipulation. As the chip begins to unlock fragments of his own erased past, Kael discovers he isn't just a courier-he's the key to dismantling NeuroVale's plan to rewrite the minds of an entire population.

Hunted by bounty hunters, betrayed by supposed allies, and haunted by the memories he can't fully piece together, Kael must team up with a rogue hacker and a determined scientist to expose NeuroVale's darkest secret. But as his memories resurface, he's forced to confront a horrifying truth: he once worked for the enemy.

Now, Kael must decide if he's willing to sacrifice everything, including the last fragments of his identity, to stop NeuroVale and reclaim the city's freedom.

In The Memory Thieves, the fight for free will isn't just about the future-it's about uncovering the truth hidden in the past.All Rights Reserved

PROTOCOL 7A by thedevilrage9

The world didn't end with fire. It ended with forgetting. In 2132, pain was outlawed. Memories of grief, trauma, and fear were erased at birth, stored inside the Vault, and replaced with manufactured calm. Humanity became safe. Stable. Empty. But Dr. Elara Myles has stopped taking her doses. She remembers her brother Cade-erased, declared unstable, lost to a forbidden "skip." And when she hacks into the Vault, she discovers a secret directory: Protocol 7A, a program that doesn't just delete the past-it loops the future. Now, hunted by the Accord, Elara carries the most dangerous thing in a world built on silence: the truth. A dystopian sci-fi thriller about memory, identity, and the cost of never feeling pain.

Ghosts Of The Grid by Spydey_RDM_83

In the fractured skyline of NeoTerra, rebellion isn't a movement - it's a mission. Kael Strayborn, a tactician forged in silence, leads a crew of six outlaws and a rogue AI through the city's neon-soaked underworld. Their targets: corrupt magnates, tech barons, and government syndicates who built their empire on stolen innovation and systemic decay. Their methods: encrypted raids, high-tech sabotage, and surgical strikes that leave the elite scrambling and the forgotten hopeful. NeoTerra is a world of chrome towers and digital ghosts, where memory is currency and power is hoarded behind firewalls and drones. The rich live above the smog in floating districts, while the poor survive in the shadows of reactors and surveillance grids. In this city wired for control, Kael's crew is the glitch - unpredictable, untraceable, and unstoppable. Each member of the team brings a unique edge: a sniper with a haunted past, a hacker fluent in chaos, a stealth operative who trusts no one, a demolitionist who thrives on destruction, a strategist who sees patterns in madness, and a robot learning what it means to care. Together, they form a family bound not by blood, but by purpose. To the public, Kael is a symbol - a ghost in the grid, a weapon for the voiceless. To his crew, he's a leader with a plan. To the elite, he's a threat that won't disappear. But in a city built on secrets, even legends have layers no one sees.

Lines of Code | Connor x reader DBH by boopedyournos3

You didn't really want the assignment, you only accepted because your dad asked with a promise of meeting a brilliant lieutenant and Cyberlife's most promising project, the RK800. The truths came out last minute but you couldn't back out. The pair found it impossible to get along, coming back with lack luster results. Deviants kept getting away and evidence led nowhere. They made no progress in figuring out the root to deviancy. It was your job to find out the reason for it. Aka, babysitting a drunk detective and a boring android. Or- that's what you thought at least. Secrets start to unravel- Cyberlife had much bigger plans for your team. Along the way you find yourself stuck between something you couldn't predict. Androids kept deviating, more on the rise with every day that passed. A revolution was forming and Cyberlife didn't want them to become sentient. As it all unraveled you found yourself stuck in the middle. The boring android wasn't as boring as you'd thought. You found yourself entranced by him, and he rewrote his own programming for you. A machine wasn't supposed to feel what he felt, and you were supposed to find what caused deviancy- not create it yourself.

Alive || Connor X Reader || by Fandom_Creator105

"Miss (L/n)? Are you going to start complaining as well?" Captian Fowler rolled his eyes awaiting your answer. "N-No, sir." You stuttered. "Then get the hell out of my office." He dismissed you while returning to the file he was reviewing. You showed yourself out of the office and to your desk. There you saw Hank gritting his teeth as the Android was talking. As you got closer you heard the very voice from who you were suspecting it to belong to. "(Y/n), this is-" The Android cut Hank off before he could finish. "My name is Connor. I'm the Android sent by Cyberlife here to assist you in any way I can." The Android that went by the name Connor greeted. "I believe we already met." Ps: This is another female reader... Sorry T_T
