Cell Circuit

In 2089, humanity created sentient AI. By 2090, the world was ending. In desperation, scientists engineered the Cell Circuits-genetically perfected super-soldiers capable of defeating the machines. The war ended, but the Cells endured, living centuries beyond their purpose. In 2478, Eurus, a stoic and deadly Cell, operates as a mercenary in the Martian megacity of Papülonis. His latest job-investigating a mutant infestation-uncovers an illegal attempt to resurrect Cell technology. It also draws him into the orbit of Kalopsia Chromo, a missing heiress with no idea she was designed to birth the next generation of super-soldiers.

As Eurus races to stop a growing conspiracy, he finds unlikely allies: Kalopsia, unsure whether she wants the future she was made for; Mirra Leone, a seductive crime lord whose calculated charm hides an aching soul; and his fellow Cells, all relics of a war no one dares remember. Together, they uncover a decaying Earth governed by a traitorous Cell, a hidden Machine threat, and a desperate gamble to restart Cell production before extinction returns. But when Eurus begins to feel something he doesn't understand-something like love-he must choose between what he was built for and what he has become.
