A New Beginning. A Better You. An Altered Perception. They say healing is possible. That the mind can forget pain, reshape itself, start over. The world calls it Reverex—a revolutionary prescription that promises clarity, peace, and a way forward. A breakthrough in trauma treatment—one pill, a world of relief. No more nightmares. No more fear. No more past. Arthur Gallagher believed in the cure. Until the visions started. What begins as relief soon turns to something else—visions that won’t fade, voices that whisper from the corners of the room, a creeping sensation that reality itself is unraveling. And the spider…it watches. It waits. It knows. Arthur is trapped between two worlds—the one they want him to believe in and the one his mind refuses to forget. As the pills tighten their grip, his son begins to uncover the horrifying reality behind them. What if the cure isn’t meant to heal? What if it’s meant to erase? This is not a side effect. This is the design. This isn’t medicine. This is control. A system designed not to heal, but to erase. To replace. To consume. Once you take it, there is no going back.

Born into poverty, Syra's beauty was both a blessing and a curse. With delicate features that could bring kings to their knees and a mind sharper than any blade, she should have had the world at her feet. But from the moment she stepped into womanhood, men coveted her, women despised her, and society sought to control her. Haunted by the hungry stares of lecherous men, crushed beneath the weight of jealousy, and drowning in the loneliness of being misunderstood, Syra had only one escape—her mind. Books became her sanctuary, knowledge her weapon. She swore that she would rise, no matter the cost. Yet, when success finally graces her life, her beauty becomes a different kind of curse—one that binds her to the obsession of a man unlike any other. Leon Alaric is not just rich—he is powerful, ruthless, and dangerously possessive. A man who built an empire with his own hands and takes what he wants, no questions asked. The moment he lays eyes on Syra, he knows one thing: She belongs to him. But Syra is not a woman to be owned. If he wants her, he must prove that he sees beyond the superficial. That his love is not just for her face, but for the fire burning within her soul. Can she trust a man whose love is too intense, too all-consuming? Or will she lose herself in the very obsession that promises to protect her? A story of pain, survival, and a love so deep it borders on madness.

In a world where technology is both a blessing and a curse, Ethan Stone is the enigmatic founder of SHIELD—a covert organization focused on global security—and the genius behind Sprint, a revolutionary auto-tech company that outshines even the most ambitious ventures of today. To the outside world, Ethan is just another tech billionaire with a mysterious past, but beneath the surface, he’s a master hacker, a fearless strategist, and a relentless force who refuses to bow to any government or authority. Ethan’s journey into the shadows began years ago when he infiltrated a secret government project experimenting on human augmentation. Although he came out of it with cybernetic enhancements that push the limits of human ability, he chose to remain fully human on the outside. His body may be altered, but his mind, spirit, and determination are unyieldingly his own. However, the digital fortress Ethan has built around his life begins to crumble when Mariam—a fiercely independent fashion designer—unexpectedly steps into his world. Initially, she’s just another civilian he’s trying to protect from his dangerous enemies. But as their bond deepens, Ethan realizes that protecting Mariam means more to him than any mission or project he’s undertaken before. She becomes the light in his otherwise dark and calculated life, reminding him of his remaining humanity. But Ethan’s enemies are ruthless, and they’ll stop at nothing to bring him down. When a shadowy figure from his past launches a series of brutal attacks, targeting Ethan and everyone he cares about, he’s forced to go on the offensive. Despite all his enhancements and strategic brilliance, he’s never faced a threat this personal. And it’s not just his life on the line—it’s Mariam’s as well. Determined to keep her safe without compromising who she is, Ethan uses his most cutting-edge technology: self-healing nanobots designed to protect her from harm without altering her humanity. As Mariam is thrust deeper into Ethan’s world of cyber warfare, mercenary armies, and covert battles, she proves time and again that she’s not just someone who needs protection—she’s his partner, his equal, and, perhaps, his greatest strength. Together, they navigate a labyrinth of secrets, betrayals, and shifting allegiances, as Ethan faces enemies old and new. As the shadowy figure continues to haunt them, Ethan must confront the question he’s been avoiding: can he truly protect Mariam without losing himself in the process? And what happens when the lines between human and machine blur beyond recognition? Beyond the Firewall is a high-stakes, action-packed saga blending elements of sci-fi, romance, and adventure. With a storyline spanning thousands of chapters, this epic series explores the price of power, the limits of technology, and the strength that comes from embracing one's humanity amidst a world where everything else can be hacked, upgraded, or controlled.

He was standing tall and straight like a towering spruce, his profile dark against the moonlight as his long and slender fingers were wrapped firmly around the hilt of his unsheathed sword. His deep voice growled furiously while pulling out the sharp and shining blade from the bandit’s heart, “Aren’t you daring enough to lay your dirty fingers on my woman?” Drops of blood tainted the velvety carpet of the grass and the body of the bandit fell on the ground, numb and lifeless. I was awestruck by the smooth strikes of his sword and it was impossible to steady my erratic pulse. Suddenly, his cold and burning gaze fell on me. Though I never met him before, he still felt the closest person; an inexplicable sense of deja vu washed over me, creating an absurd familiarity that messed up all logic. Approaching me, he cupped my chin tenderly in his warm hand as his thumb gently wiped a drop of blood from my cold cheek, making my body shiver alarmingly. My heart was hammering in my ears and his compelling eyes riveted me to the spot. However, noticing his deep wound, I mumbled in a breathy and concerned tone, “Your injury looks deadly. You need immediate treatment.” A deep chuckle greeted me as he pulled me closer to him, wrapping his strong arms around my waist, "Don't bother about that, My love. Did I make you wait for long?" 'My love!! Is he supposed to be my damn lover?' __________ ‘Death is not a worry of mine Even if I must swallow poison I must have you, …’ ~ Lucian Mavis.
