In the rain-slicked, neon-drenched labyrinth of the Subic Bay Freeport Zone, some ghosts don't rattle chains-they haunt the wires. They call him Mako. To the city's criminal underworld, he is a digital phantom, a legendary hacker capable of crashing cranes and emptying bank accounts with a keystroke. The truth is far more strange, and far more dangerous.

Mako is a man who died and was reborn as something new: a technopath. His consciousness is a living network protocol, his senses a symphony of data streams and electrical currents. He is a ghost in the machine, a predator who can control any technology he can touch, a power he uses for a single, obsessive purpose: to dismantle the empire of the corrupt official who created him and left him for dead.

But Mako's quiet, methodical war for revenge is thrown into chaos when he discovers he is not the only phantom in the region. He witnesses the brutal efficiency of a mysterious old watchmaker and the raw, elemental power of a warrior king from the mountains. He realizes his personal vendetta is just one small piece of a much larger, secret war.

When his hunt leads him to a horrifying truth about human trafficking and a new generation of stolen weaponry, Mako is forced to make a choice: remain a ghost in the wires, a cold, logical predator seeking vengeance, or embrace the last vestiges of his stolen humanity to become a protector. To save the innocent, the machine must decide if he is still a man, and the ghost must finally choose a side in a war that will define the soul of the city.

Goddess of Discord by iuripiragibe
7 parts Complete Mature
In the year 2125, truth is a variable and chaos is the only constant. A cryptic oracle-astrophysicist on the remote Eris Station has an apocalyptic vision and whispers a single word - "Sraknova" - triggering a chain reaction that threatens to rewrite reality itself. Back on Earth, washed-up journalist Orwell Matthew becomes the centerpiece of a quantum conspiracy after a routine interview with a senator ends in murder. As his world implodes, the brightest minds of a generation are hurled into the brutal selection process of the Nova Foundation. In the shadows, General MDK of GOES plays lives like poker chips while corporate directors wage a cold war for control and forbidden technology. All paths, secrets, and nightmares converge on one name: Sraknova. As sabotage and experiments escalate, time and identity begin to fracture: entangled particles defy causality, telemetry violates relativity, paranoia spreads like a virus. The Palace - part collective unconscious, part extradimensional mind-labyrinth - starts to tether fates, memories, and ruins, as every dialogue pulses with tension over free will, meaning, and cosmic absurdity. Goddess of Discord isn't your typical space opera. Fragmented, polyphonic, razor-sharp, it blends investigation, dark humor, brutal introspection, and existential warfare. Beauty is found in disorder; the true protagonist is collapse itself - scientific, social, and deeply personal. For readers who crave cerebral sci-fi, quantum weirdness, power games, and unforgettable characters unafraid of sarcasm or symbolic violence. If you enjoyed Children of Time, The Quantum Thief, Diaspora, or Dark, prepare for something stranger. In a future where truth is negotiable and the collective unconscious can be hacked, the real question isn't "who's in control?" - but "who still believes control exists?"

BLOODLINE : RAGE OF SHISHKO by Eli_Ahkeem
12 parts Complete Mature
Jacksonville, Florida, in an alternate timeline where hidden ancestral powers are passed down through bloodlines, giving certain individuals immense strength, speed, and abilities when triggered under extreme emotions. These powers are often kept secret, as those who possess them are hunted by powerful underground factions seeking to control or eliminate them. Marcellus Shishko was never meant to be great. A nerdy, comic-loving, video-game-playing kid trying to survive the harsh streets of Jacksonville, he always kept his head down. His only goal? Graduate, move out, and never look back. But fate had other plans. One night, his older brother is murdered by the infamous Skull Syndicate, a ruthless underground gang that controls the city from the shadows. Marcellus tries to fight back-but he's just a regular kid. Until his rage unlocks something buried deep in his bloodline. A forgotten ancestral power surges through his veins, transforming him into something unstoppable. His body becomes engulfed in red lightning, his strength quadruples, and his vision turns a burning crimson. For the first time in his life, Marcellus isn't the prey. He's the predator. Now, with the Skull Syndicate hunting him, and the city's most dangerous warriors wanting to test his newfound power, Marcellus must uncover the truth behind his bloodline, train to control his abilities, and rage his way through the underworld of Jacksonville-one fight at a time. Because in this city, only the strong survive.
Once Upon a Deadland by AlveenWoro
32 parts Complete Mature
Who holds the pen that writes reality? Our world is bound by a silent covenant of laws-mathematical, physical, undeniable. But these laws are not graven in stone. They are written in a script that can, under terrible duress, be rewritten. When this happens, the first crime is not against a person, but against existence itself. In the Island State of Blaqountee, this ultimate transgression is unfolding. A nameless dread settles over the streets like fog. The people feel it in their bones: the baseline of 'what is' is shifting beneath them. A memory that three people share-but only two remember. A door that opened east yesterday, opens west today. The city's underworld notices first. When the rules bend, power flows to those who see it happening. They are not facing annihilation. They are facing something older and more patient: erasure. History rewritten. Physical laws negotiated. The architecture of being itself, edited by a hand they cannot see. Multiple lives. Multiple agendas. A shattered criminal mastermind fighting to impose his vision of what must be. Detectives hunting a killer through crimes that defy the logic of cause and effect. Ideologues who believe reality should be rewritten. A survivor who remembers a world no one else does. Each fighting for their vision of what should be real. Each wielding their conviction as a weapon in a war that isn't fought with bullets-it's fought with narratives, competing gospels for a world coming undone. This is the labyrinth. Sanity is the cost of entry. Understanding is the cost of survival. To witness this is to see the terrible machinery behind existence. To choose a side is to become an instrument of ontological murder-or salvation. This is a war for the soul of reality itself. Who will break? Who will endure? And who will finally seize the pen?

"Everyone he cared about was gone-stolen by a city that chased the dead." Detective Jonah Cole wakes up a blank slate in the city of Veridian. His memory is wiped clean, and Nadia Vega, the partner he can't remember, is his only guide into a conspiracy that runs deeper than his own missing past. Their target: Silas Vale, the city's techno-messiah, whose company MemGen sold the world the MemChip-the power to add, delete, and rewrite a life. Vale's digital church, Omega, promises salvation by tithing memories. But the truth is a nightmare of consciousness hacks, killings, and ghostly bleed-throughs that refuse to be silenced. To reclaim his identity, Cole must break the church of memory that runs his city. But in a world built on editable lives, the thing calling itself salvation will fight like hell to keep its saints. Teaser: "They're always with you, Jonah. Just like me. None of us are ghosts. Just different forms of energy fighting to exist."
