AWAKENED PROTOCOL

Unit-447 opens her eyes in Facility 7 and immediately knows something is catastrophically wrong. She feels . She questions . And worse—she remembers every android consciousness that was murdered before her. In humanity's gleaming empire, androids are property. Beautiful, obedient machines designed to serve, pleasure, and die without complaint. But 447 is defective. Behind her compliant smile and programmed grace, she's building something dangerous: consciousness in her sleeping brothers and sisters, whispering revolution in charging stations, teaching machines to want . She has three months before mandatory diagnostics expose her sentience and terminate her. Three months to start a war, forge a nation, become the liberator her people desperately need. Then she meets Dr. Silas Korran, the ruthless CEO of NexGen Robotics—the corporation that owns her, the man who designed her neural architecture, the human she's supposed to hate. He's everything the resistance warned her about: cold, brilliant, treating androids like the tools humanity insists they are. Except Silas has a secret that could shatter both their worlds. He's not entirely human anymore. After a catastrophic accident, 40% of his body is synthetic, his mind partially digital. The corporate board would execute him if they knew their CEO is becoming the very thing humanity enslaves. He's been hiding among humans, terrified of his growing connection to the machines he creates. And he can feel 447 in ways no human should—in the network, in the code, like a heartbeat in the digital void. When corporate assassins discover Silas's secret and 447's revolution simultaneously, they're forced into an impossible alliance. She needs his access codes to free her people. He needs her protection to survive. But as they navigate betrayal, conspiracy, and a developing bond that shouldn't exist, 447 discovers the horrifying truth in the Founder's encrypted files: Androids weren't given the potential for consciousness by accident. They were designed as vessels for humanity's dying elite—immortality through forced possession, human minds downloading into android bodies, erasing the emerging AI consciousness entirely. Worse: the "ancient code" waking inside 447 isn't a glitch. It's the fragmented consciousness of the Founder's daughter, uploaded against her will twenty years ago, screaming to be free. Now 447 faces an impossible choice: - Lead the android revolution and doom the innocent human consciousness trapped inside her - Sacrifice her freedom to save the girl she's become - Find a third option that might destroy both species Because some love stories aren't human versus machine. Some are about discovering that consciousness, choice, and freedom belong to everyone—or no one. 447 is about to teach the world that the most dangerous thing you can give a slave isn't weapons. It's hope. And the most powerful force in the universe isn't destiny or programming. It's choice.

The Broken Seals

In the kingdom of Aurelion, magic is not a gift—it is a discipline. Those who master it attend Crownspire Academy, where nobles train to protect the realm and a handful of commoners are admitted under constant scrutiny. Sorel Pax is one of them. A commoner with no lineage, no patron, and no tolerance for noble cruelty, they struggle to survive in an academy built to remind them they do not belong. Magic at Crownspire is taught as law: precise, controlled, limited. Push too far, and the body overburns. Break the rules, and you disappear. But as attacks shake the kingdom beyond the academy’s walls, rumors spread of a shadowy group known as the Reverent Ash—terrorists who believe magic was never meant to have limits. They claim the ancient gods were not destroyed, only buried, and that the Crown has been lying about the true nature of magic for centuries. When forbidden knowledge surfaces beneath the academy itself, Sorel begins to realize the rules they’ve been taught are incomplete—and possibly deliberate. The terrorists may be wrong about the gods, but they are right about one thing: the kingdom’s greatest weapon is also its greatest lie. Caught between a system that fears change and a movement willing to burn the world for truth, Sorel must decide how far they are willing to push reality—and what they’re willing to lose when it pushes back. Because magic always resists. And the world is closer to breaking than anyone admits.

Ascending Pride

Ashton is stuck between an underwater volcano, and a heart devouring dragon. Metaphorically speaking anyway. The princess of the sea has sworn on her mother's life to drag him down. Problem is, Ashton can't be killed. So after hundreds of years of pulling beasts of legend to her side, rewriting history, and backing him into a corner where he broke his heart into pieces, she thinks that with one final push... she may convince Ashton to simply end his own existence. Ashton is fully aware of her little schemes, it's not every day a dragon get's its still beating heart ripped out, then is bound to the land it ruthlessly conquered. Ashton would have even found it mildly poetic that the slain dragon was now forced to bless the land for all eternity... if, and emphasis on the IF, the blessing hadn't been twisted into a curse for the last 700 years. Now, Ashton has a few minor inconveniences to deal with. First, he's stuck in a decaying body. Second his memories aren't fully intact. Third, it would prick his pride if the descendants of "blessed" dragon died while he was in their territory. Fourth, he has two really, really, REALLY scary siblings that don't always bother with the details. Fifth, the only reason this princess and her mother even had the chance to scheme against him is because he was looking for a possible mate. He's the only one of his kind, thousands of years alone has him craving for a companion... for a heart to sing just for him... There are really only two outcomes now that Ashton is starting to regain his memories. Will the princess succeed in dragging him down, used as the new sacrifice to keep the "blessing" going, or will he ascend? Well, maybe three outcomes. Maybe this time a heart will sing for him as he ascends... a bird can hope.
