Beyond the Firewall

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.

Start - The World Behind the Door

NOT: Unless you are a sadistic maniac who enjoys constant suffering of a human being, I strongly advise you not to read this novel. *** Yu Valarfin is a young university student who has lost his family and is alone. While thinking there is nothing tying him to life, he receives a phone call and has to leave his house. But when he opens the door, he is confronted by a world he has never seen! Finding himself trapped outside the door in a fit of absent-mindedness, Yu is forced to undertake an impossible mission filled with witches, demons, and death, with no power to help him. *** -Isekai -Dark fantasy -Male lead -No power fantasy / no op main character (regular human strength) -No loli romance -No rpg/system *** Arc I - The World Behind the Door (7 chapters / 34.000 words) Arc II - Golden Letters of Rolderhelm (43 chapters / - 186.000 words) Arc III - Sound of Bells Arc IV - Touching a Star Arc V - Dream of the Doves Arc VI - (In writting progress) *** Must read that notes before starting (please): 1) I am writing the original version in Turkish, this is a translation. 2) It's a slow-paced story. 3) And when I say slow, it's really, rea~lly, rea~~lly slow. Even slower than you can ever think. 4) If you're the kind of reader who says after 30 chapters "I've read too much, now I want the character to be strong", this is definitely not for you. 5) The story will be longer than 15 arcs and events will start around arc 3. So the first two arcs are like a prologue to the story (yes, 220,000 words long prologue). 6) The reason why the story is so long is that I want to give a realistic view of character and story development. You may not see much in one arc, you will see things as the next arcs come. 7) Since the original version is in Turkish (and my English is not very good, I use DeepL) you may see some grammatical problems. Probably the most common one is the he/she problem because my language doesn't have a he/she distinction. I'm trying to improve my English, but if you say it's too bad, I can stop the translation and continue after I've improved more, or if you point out my mistakes, I'll try to fix them. *** PLEASE DO NOT READ IF: 1) you have no tolerance for narcissistic characters. 2) you are not a masochist. 3) you are not patient. *** I don't want to make you to read something that you don't like and I know the story is for a very small audience, so I don't want you to get bored, it's important that you read the notes.
