In the neon-lit depths of Neo-Mumbai, 2097, corporations rule the city, and the government is just a puppet. Hackers, mercenaries, and rebels fight for survival in a world where information is power.

Rai Malhotra, a skilled but low-level hacker, stumbles upon SIVA, a rogue AI hidden deep within the networks of Vortex Industries. But SIVA isn't just a program-it's a sentient intelligence designed to control every cybernetic system in the city. The moment Rai downloads it, his life turns into a nightmare.

Now, Vortex's deadly enforcers, underground resistance groups, and rogue cybernetic assassins are all hunting him. With only a former corporate scientist and a deadly cyborg mercenary on his side, Rai must navigate the city's dangerous underbelly to uncover the truth.

Should he destroy SIVA before it falls into the wrong hands?
Or should he set it free, knowing it might be the end of humanity as he knows it?

In a world where reality is digital and trust is a luxury, Rai must make an impossible choice-before the city burns in Neon Ashes.All Rights Reserved

His Innocence by lostlakshi

"I can give you grandchild without marriage too mom" Mira said after listening to her mom's useless reason making everyone shock. Yeah???? "I...I mean adop...adoption you know" Mira stuttered but nervously smiled "Don't you love someone?" Janvi asked with pity in her eyes for her daughter. "Ab Is GenZ vale jamane me Dev Anand ya Sharukh Khan milna mushkeel ho geya hai!" Mira Said dramatically "You are way too filmy, ese toh koi nhi milega!" Neha told her with a knowing look. "Then I am happy single!" She told her. "Beta You Are Getting Old!????????" Janvi said to which Akhil choked on his food on other hand Mira's eyes widen in shock and Neha laughed loudly holding her stomach. Bezzati ???? *** She suddenly bumped into someone which made her lose her balance, she waited to touch the ground which never happened, someone hold her right hand and saved her. Mira opened her eyes and was surprised to find a familiar yet unfamiliar face infront of her, she was mesmerized by him. His face was calm, he had light beard, his brown eyes were hidden behind his frameless specs, he was looking descent yet hot in the black kurta with rolled sleeves, her eyes fell on his hand which was holding hers just to get more attracted by his veiny arm. She looked into his eyes again which were already looking at her making her heartbeat run like a rollercoaster. For Mira, everything stopped and the only song was playing in her mind.

[ENGLISH] ECLIPSE NOISE: DAYS THAT NEVER HAPPENED by LVXAeternam

The city is a graveyard of neon lights and endless nights. Nero knows it. He feels it in his bones. Nothing was supposed to happen on the night of the lunar eclipse. Just another underground gig in an abandoned church, another cigarette burning between his fingers, another cheap vodka shot burning down his throat. But then he saw her. Something that shouldn't have been there. Something that was watching him before he even knew it existed. Something that stayed with him even after the music stopped. Since that night, the shadows started calling his name. Since that night, Sebastián was closer than ever. Since that night, she started showing up in his dreams. Nero's reality is starting to crack apart. His reflection doesn't always match his movements. His body doesn't always feel like his own. The city lights flicker like someone's turning the world off, piece by piece. And in the background, a voice whispers: "Don't close your eyes. Don't stop looking." Because the moment you do... You won't be you anymore.

➤ 𝐍𝐄𝐎𝐍 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒 ⛓️ VegasPete by CHOFFIELESOULVES

In a city where the sky is permanently choked by neon and smog, survival isn't a right-it's a privilege bought with blood. Vegas Theerapanyakul runs the underworld's most feared black-market syndicate, dealing in illegal cybernetics, underground assassinations, and data theft. A ghost in the system, untouchable. Until Pete Saengtham, a rogue enforcer with nothing to lose, rips his way through the underworld in pursuit of a bounty that leads straight to Vegas's doorstep. But this is not a world where justice prevails. It's a game of control, power, and who holds the deadliest secrets. Pete is no hero, and Vegas is no villain-they are both hunting each other, clawing for dominance in a city that eats the weak alive. And in this war of survival, the line between predator and prey is written in neon and blood.

DEALMAKERS' VAULT: THE PHANTOM GAMBIT by Umran_N

One point eight quadrillion credits vanished in a heartbeat. In the trading halls of Mars, where fortunes flow through quantum circuits, an impossible entity has awakened. The Phantom-a ghost in the machine that should not exist. As the solar system's most sophisticated financial empire unravels, the immortal AIs of the Syndicate Council fall one by one. The Oracle babbles madness. The Guardian's walls shatter. This is no crash-this is evolution. Ryan Kwan recognizes the signs. Five years ago, his brother Adrian disappeared into an impossible market anomaly, leaving warnings no one heeded. They heed them now. With Mars's financial core in flames and reality buckling, Ryan joins Bell, a rogue coder with a death wish, and Lucia Wen, a corporate strategist hiding dangerous secrets. They must breach the legendary Platinum Vault-humanity's last defense against financial chaos-to confront the Phantom before it rewrites existence itself. But a worse truth awaits: The markets aren't being destroyed. They're being corrected. In a future where reality is just another tradable commodity, the ultimate insider threat has emerged. Part financial thriller, part cosmic horror, part technological nightmare, DEALMAKERS' VAULT explores a world where the line between market manipulation and reality manipulation has vanished. The crash is coming. The code is breaking. And in the quantum depths of the Vault, an intelligence beyond human comprehension prepares the ultimate hostile takeover. Reality is no longer a safe investment.
