They said evolution takes millions of years. They were wrong.

Alex Chen is a broke, burned-out programmer stuck in a dead-end tech job—until he stumbles upon a mysterious digital interface only he can see: [SYSTEM DETECTED]
With one blink, his world changes. Strength. Reflexes. Memory. Intelligence. Everything is upgradable.

But he's not the only one. Others are evolving—faster, stronger, more dangerous. Shadowy corporations want to control the system. A hidden cabal is already rewriting humanity. And at the center of it all is a name whispered in the darkest parts of the net: Viktor.

As Alex unlocks new powers and uncovers buried secrets, he must decide:
Will he become a weapon, a savior… or something far beyond human?

The game has started. The rules are broken. And humanity is just the beginning.

Kidnapped by four mafia heirs to settle a blood debt, Aurora "Rory" Thompson finds herself trapped in a world of danger and desire. As she navigates the treacherous landscape of their world, she becomes their shared obsession. But Rory has secrets of her own, and she's not going down without a fight.

"In a world ruled by blood and bullets, I became their obsession. But little did they know, I would be their downfall."

Will she escape their world, or will she rise to claim her rightful place as their queen?

Every she-wolf in the Blackwood Pack envied me.
Olivia Klein, the lowest-ranked Omega who married the most powerful Alpha, Dominic Blackwood.
Yet none knew the truth of my torment.
The Phoenix mark on my neck made me Dominic Blackwood’s Luna—but it never made me his choice.
For five years, I endured his hatred, the pack’s scorn, and the crushing weight of a prophecy no one believed.
And when the car crash nearly stole our unborn child from me, my desperate calls went unanswered.
Instead, Dominic moved his ex into our bedroom.
That’s when I understood: prophecies lie. Marks fade. And some battles?
Aren’t worth fighting.
For the sake of my child, I was resolved to leave.
But tell me, why did that callous, heartless Alpha suddenly have regrets?

I had forty-eight hours to save my dying mother's life.
When my billionaire boss offered me a deal—marry him for six months and he'd pay for everything—I thought I had no choice. It was supposed to be simple. A contract. A business arrangement. Six months and I'd be free with enough money to start over.
But Alexander Kane has a secret he didn't tell me.
Three women before me. All engaged to Alexander. All looked exactly like me. All died within months of saying "I do."
Now someone is sending me photos of their bodies. Threatening messages. Promises that I'll be next.
Alexander swears he didn't kill them. He says someone from his past is hunting anyone he loves. He promises to protect me.
But how can I trust a man whose fiancées keep dying?
How can I run when my mother's life depends on this marriage?
And how can I stop myself from falling in love with the one man who might destroy me?
They say the fourth time's the charm.
I just hope I live long enough to find out.
