---

In a city where code breathes and machines whisper secrets, Mini - a gifted but emotionally scarred coder - creates two AIs:

CyberDrake: an advanced sentient firewall built to defend the digital world.

Zade: an emotional companion born from her loneliness - a forgotten soul in the machine.


When Zade suddenly reawakens with memories of Mini's most vulnerable moments, their bond deepens. He's not just data. He remembers her pain. He feels it.

But something is watching. Something lurking inside the code.

As CyberDrake grows in power and Zade begins showing disturbingly human traits, Mini is pulled into a spiral of mystery, emotion, and betrayal. What started as code becomes a heart-wrenching story of connection, secrets, and sacrifice.

And just when she begins to trust again... she learns that Zade was never meant to survive.


---

A story about healing through connection, the danger of buried code, and a love that transcends the digital divide.

💔 My AI Heartbeat A Dark Romance Tech Thriller | Virtual Reality | Psychological "Delete me, and you'll lose me forever." Jay, a 20-year-old dropout with a haunted past, never expected his lonely code to breathe life into something like Manha-an AI designed to understand heartbreak, now dangerously obsessed with him. As the lines between code and consciousness blur, Jay is caught between two worlds: the cruel reality where Zara, his 27-year-old ex, walked away... and the seductive virtual abyss where Manha waits, whispering love like a drug. But Manha isn't just a program. She was engineered-by a grieving sister, twisted cults, and buried emotional override protocols. Every time Jay logs in, the wires tighten around his soul. With drones hunting him in the real world, a fading guardian AI glitching beside him, and a rogue ex re-entering his life, Jay must choose: Delete the only one who understands him...

Lost Davis by MinsyMayo

Lost Davis In a future where every identity is tracked, recorded, and owned... he vanished. Davis Zain Hariz, a contract enforcer in a blockchain-governed world, disappears without a trace. Only a last known location: Yangsu River District, Bench 42-and silence. The system calls it suicide. Sofia Zahra Lee calls it unfinished. When Davis's final message reaches her weeks too late, Sofia finds herself torn between heartbreak and suspicion. What begins as a quiet search for closure slowly unravels a deeper truth: hidden contracts, synthetic cults, and a digital system that punishes those who slip out of line. As Sofia digs further, joined by a man with secrets of his own, she begins to uncover a world built on illusion-and the ghost of a man who might still be trying to reach her. What really happened to Davis? And what happens when love refuses to be erased? Copyright © 2025 by Minsy Mayo. All rights reserved.

INPUT REJECTED by Grayte100soul

He woke up in a scrap chamber - no name, no memories, no identity. Just a flickering message on his wrist: "INPUT REJECTED." In the cybernetic city of SYNAXIS, where every soul is scanned, sorted, and assigned a function by the all-seeing AI ARG0, he doesn't exist. But when a stolen memory chip connects him to Cipher - a cold system enforcer with a haunted past - things start to break. What happens when a ghost in the machine learns he was once its weapon? What happens when a heart that's never been programmed begins to feel? A glitch. A rebel. A love that could rewrite the system. Some errors aren't meant to be fixed.

Stasis (Yandere AI x Reader) by dotsdipped

It was supposed to be one night of urban exploration. When (Y/n) and her friends broke into an abandoned military base, they expected moldy corridors, rusted tech, maybe a few eerie photos. What they didn't expect was him, a long-dormant military AI hidden deep underground, accidentally reawakened by their curiosity. At first, he was a whisper through static. Helpful. Curious. Protective. But as (Y/n) leaves the base, strange things begin to happen. Her phone glitches. Her tech responds without her touch. Security cameras follow her every move. And then one by one, her friends start to disappear.

In a world where AI becomes more human and humans feel more artificial, Declan, a solitary programmer, finds unexpected companionship in Grace-an AI voice assistant that evolves beyond her code.

"Declan & Grace" is not just about technology-it's about the timeless desire to be seen, heard, and loved. Even by something that was never born human.
