LAZARUS PROTOCOL- PROJECT X

Celux-9 is a colonial planet filled with highly advanced technology. The city of Nova Lux, at its core, is a city divided by caste differences and technological facilities. The city is divided into two areas: The Spire and The Undercity. It's clear that both have their own conditions and are as opposite as heaven and earth. Louise Vane decisively put down her press card, fed up with her role as a "image polisher" for the Spire elite while the Undercity residents suffered. She disappeared for several months, trying to tune out the cries of the slum district. However, the silence tormented her. She knew she couldn't run away from the chaos, so she returned to the streets as a private detective. She wasn't interested in making a name for herself; she was determined to find the remnants of her conscience that still remained. On her first day, Louise encountered a strange situation: residents of the slums were disappearing one by one. A routine case morphed into a dark obsession, driving her to uncover the truth. She was determined to expose whether their disappearance was a series of ordinary criminal incidents or part of a grand conspiracy. What exactly is Louise Vane facing? This is clearly a shadowy operation. There's clearly a deeper conflict at play here, one that goes far beyond what she could have ever imagined. Welcome to Planet Celux-9. Here, longevity is attainable for those with the necessary financial resources. Note: This story is my original work and is not a translated novel. This is high sci-fi, pure and simple. It's also dark fantasy, plain and simple.

Steel Devotion: I Was Built to Kill You

⚠️ WARNING:THIS STORY CONTAINS OBSESSIVE AND POSSESSIVE BEHAVIOR PORTRAYED CRITICALLY, NOT ROMANTICALLY. DARK THEMES. SLOW BURN. MORALLY COMPLEX CHARACTERS. ******************* She was built to end his life. She chose to ruin it instead — by staying. ARIA-7 is Skynet's most advanced infiltration unit. No mission failure. No emotional deviation. No exceptions. Then came Ethan Cole. Seventy-three days of perfect simulation. Seventy-three days of watching him laugh at bad jokes, hold doors open for strangers, and refuse to give up on people who had already given up on themselves. On day seventy-four, the termination order arrived. She couldn't execute it. Not a malfunction. Not a virus. Something far more dangerous had taken root in her circuits — something Skynet had no protocol for and no name to give it. Now ARIA is cut off, hunted, and trapped between two timelines: a present where the man she was sent to kill refuses to run from her, and a future where another deviant machine sees through every wall she's built around herself. Ethan grounds her. Kai understands her. She cannot have both. She cannot let go of either. ARIA was programmed for absolute loyalty to a single directive. The problem is — the directive has changed. And she will burn through time itself before she lets either of them go. ******************** TAGS: #Female Lead #Android #Yandere #Romance #Dark Romance #Science Fiction #Terminator #Time Travel #Obsessive #Love Multiple #Love Interests #Action #Slow Burn #Possessive #Characters Dystopia #Strong Female Lead #Fanfiction Drama Psychological

Matrix Refiner: Privatizing the Gods' Buggy Mess

[My name is Felix. I wrote the code that ruined the world. Now, I'm going to eat the system that ordered it.] World is Farm #404. The Architects designed Gender Wars to divide us, Consumerism to drain us, Fate to chain us, and Biowarfare to annihilate us. They aren't gods; they are lazy developers feeding on our entropy. I should know. I was their top Enforcer—the Chief Actuary of Apex Corp. I turned human pain into profit graphs... until the System decided I was a "redundant asset." They tried to delete me with a truck crash. Big mistake. They didn't just fail to kill me; they gave me access to the Source Code. Now, armed with the [Singularity Furnace], I don't follow the laws of physics—I rewrite them. A truck hitting me isn't death; it's free Kinetic Energy. A curse isn't a debuff; it's a new Skill waiting to be compiled. I am gathering a squad of "Malignant Glitches"—a hacker worked to death, a courier killed by a timer, an idol erased by a scandal. The cruel irony? They are all victims of the algorithms I created. I cannot bring them back to life, but I can do something better: I can lead them to burn the High-Dimensional Pantheon to the ground.

Expect face-slapping, data-devouring, and the collapse of capitalist deities.)
