The galaxy burns. An ancient weapon has awakened — a sentient machine older than memory, powered by antimatter, built only for one purpose: annihilation. It strips planets bare, devours moons, and grinds civilizations into ash. Its name is whispered like a curse. War Sprite. Earth is in the damage path. Three avatars — Ariel, Jenna, and Iris — thrill-seekers, rebels, and reluctant heroines — are hurled from ice-yacht races and wingsuit dives into a mission no one can survive. To stop War Sprite, they must infiltrate it from within: a labyrinth of alien machinery, nanotech nightmares...

It isn’t counting. It isn’t calling. It warns. When a ghost-map lures three thrill-seekers into a bioluminescent grotto beneath Antarctica, their neon-skate rave wakes something older than ice—a three-beat whisper that follows them home. In the under-ice city of Ganzir-Kur, Queen Ereshkigal sends Ariel (battle-scarred tactician with an AI named Ghost), Jenna (edgerunner hacker partnered to Bob), and Iris (winged ex-goddess and unapologetic Trekkie) to ride a Nephilim ascender and rendezvous with the UEC SC Archimedes at Saturn, where that same whisper circles Titan. What they find is ...

The Net Zero team thought they had seen it all—ice-yacht sailing across Antarctica, covert infiltration of secret bases, and battles against ancient gods themselves. But nothing prepared them for what awaited inside the orbital paradise of Life Eternal. What should have been heaven became a prison of horrors: glass coffins, false Edens, frozen wastelands, and hollow Xanadus built from propaganda and lies. Thousands of souls—embalmed alive—trapped in digital eternities that were never theirs to choose. And at the center, a single truth: the collapse of entire civilizations, engineered ...

They went to bury the nightmare. They left nothing but stardust. Beneath the Nevada desert lies Eureka Base—a labyrinth of cages, laboratories, and horrors engineered by Kaigan hands and human collaborators. Ariel, Jenna, and Iris—warriors forged from blood, technology, and myth—are sent to do the impossible: infiltrate, dismantle, and erase it from existence. What they find is worse than any mission before. Prisoners drained of life, hybrid monstrosities stitched from alien alloy and human flesh, and an old enemy returned from the Abyss—Elizabeth Bathory, the Bloody Countess ...

They were never meant to survive the mission. Now they’re the last defense against extinction. When a long-lost spacecraft reappears near Neptune, Ariel, Jenna, and Iris—avatars bound to a goddess and haunted by the past—are sent to investigate. But the wreck isn’t empty. Inside waits a mutagenic threat beyond comprehension, seeded by an alien artifact that may be more than just technology… it may be alive. As the crew succumbs to monstrous transformation, the trio must race against time to quarantine the infection, stop the vessel from reaching Earth, and confront the terrifying ...

Trapped aboard a luxury starliner destined to vanish, Ariel, Jenna, and Iris must uncover a deadly conspiracy before it's too late. A honeymoon cruise turns into a death sentence for newlyweds Leanna and Teddy—heirs to rival tech dynasties whose parents would rather see them dead than united. With no lifeboats, no escape pods, and an AI in command that doesn't take orders, the Mary Celeste drifts toward oblivion. But not all hope is lost. Ariel and her companions carry ghosts from the past—ancient military-grade AI constructs with one mission: survive the impossible. As the ship veers ...

When death in the simulation is death for real... loyalty is the only thing that keeps you alive. Ariel convinces her best friend Jenna to join NASTI—Nexus Advanced Systems Technology Inc.—for the final round of beta testing before their immersive combat simulations go public. It's easy cred, full perks, no strings… except one. Zeroed in cyberspace is zeroed for real! As Ariel’s kill count climbs and her rank surges, she begins to realize the truth: she’s responsible for most of the replacement testers cycling through the system. The ripperdoc warns her: “You’ve made a name ...

Net Zero: Project Phoenix Three avatars. One paradox. A mission that rewrites history. Awakened aboard a crippled sleeper ship bound for a new world, Ariel, Jenna, and Iris are thrust into a cosmic mystery: a ripple in the multiverse, a disaster that never should’ve happened, and a past that no longer leads to the future. With only damaged tech, fading memories, and the favor of a forgotten goddess, they must uncover the truth behind a catastrophe that threatens to erase humanity before it ever begins. From the depths of cryogenic silence to the halls of ancient gods, Project Phoenix is a...

Net Zero is a near-future cyberpunk tale where reality bleeds into the machine. Ariel, a streetwise edgerunner, accepts a beta invite from her fixer—an offer too good to refuse. Nexus Advanced Systems Technology, Inc. (NASTI) promises full-immersion simulations where everything you earn, you keep. Every sensation feels real. Every risk seems virtual. It’s only a game. Right? What Ariel doesn’t know is that NASTI’s funding comes from DARPA and a secretive eugenics foundation. The simulations are more than entertainment—they’re a battleground for next-gen warfare. A proving ground...

"They were never meant to live. Now the multiverse bleeds because they do." Ariel, Jenna, and Iris were supposed to die on Flight TE901—claimed by the Underworld, broken in body and soul, returned to Persephone's cold embrace. But they defied death… and she never forgets her debtors. Now trapped in a cosmic game overseen by the death goddess Ereshkigal, the trio is cast into alternate realities where survival is not guaranteed—and success is never simple. In one such world, a crippled scout ship crashes on a hostile planet overrun by monstrous blood drinkers. With its crew on the edge...

Defiance has earned Ariel, Jenna, and Iris the wrath of Persephone. Stripped of power and armed with nothing but the clothing on their backs, they are cast into the hands of the vampiric Countess Elizabeth Báthory. There, they must endure days of bloodletting, torment, and psychological manipulation. As Ariel teeters on the brink of becoming a monster herself, only the intervention of her AI companion, Ghost, prevents her from turning on the ones she loves. Escaping through the sewers of Čachtice Castle, the trio finds not freedom, but Hades’ courtroom—where divine judgment awaits. ...

They were condemned to die. But death refused them. Ariel, Jenna, and Iris were never meant to survive the crash of Flight TE901. It was a sentence—engineered by Persephone herself—meant to break them in body and spirit. Instead, they awoke beneath the Antarctic ice, wounded but alive. Dragged into the shadowed depths of Ganzir-Kur, a forgotten underworld ruled by Ereshkigal, the trio is offered a choice: servitude… or annihilation. Six months as avatars in a cosmic game played across fractured realities—each one a brutal test of will, identity, and loyalty. But old gods rarely ...

Ariel and Jenna are given an upgrade courtesy of NASTI’s new financial benefactor, Hell’s Bells, Inc. They are going wireless, no more need for a physical connection. But there’s a catch. No more physical connections mean no more control. The lines between reality and simulation blur. They can’t choose when they log in—or when they’re released. Their first field test seems simple enough: a joyride with Iris aboard the Isabella, her lovingly maintained steam-dirigible. A girls' day out above the clouds, skimming the sky, engines humming with arcane energy. But the skies turn ...

War on Nibiru has caused environmental damage resulting in climate disaster. The cities on the surface have moved underground, and a search for the means to restore the climate is beginning. Two brothers have entirely different ideas of how to rule the planet and save the people. Only one of them can be right. Anu wants to use the planet’s resources to further develop the infrastructure of the underground cities, whereas Alalu wants to search for the legendary planet, Tiamat. The legends tell of it having deep veins of gold. If he can find it, the gold can be used to create an atmospheric...

In a war-torn future where gods command from the shadows, human avatars Ariel and Jenna are sent to secure weapons powerful enough to defeat the Kaigan—a biomechanical threat consuming worlds. But their mission becomes a brutal trial as a merciless AI weapons dealer subjects them to escalating tests: drone swarms, chemical warfare, orbital bombardment, and the looming threat of planetary annihilation. Joined by Ares, the reluctant God of War, they survive apocalypse after apocalypse—only to be punished by their divine patroness, Persephone, for sins of defiance and desire. As battle ...

Ariel and Jenna were once thrill-seekers in the digital sprawl of 2055, diving into Nexus Advanced Systems Technology's full-immersion simulations for the rush. But since going wireless, they’ve lost the line between simulation and reality—if there even is a line. After facing off against soul-sucking Kaigan in an Atlantean war, dying, resurrecting, and surviving god-forged battlefields, the two are tasked by the goddess Persephone with their most dangerous mission yet: tracking and defeating George Pickingill, a necromancer who escaped from the Underworld and is rebuilding his coven in...

Ariel and Jenna’s escape from the Mysterious Island is only the beginning. The simulation, once thought to be controlled, has evolved—rewriting its own code, bending its world to new rules. Now, they're being sent back in… but not to the island. The island is gone, swallowed by the sea after a cataclysmic volcanic eruption. They barely survived, rescued by Captain Nemo aboard the Nautilus, now bound for the legendary lost city of Atlantis, deep beneath the Aegean Sea. They’re not alone. Iris joins them—wings folded, eyes watching. Their mission: face a new enemy. The Kaigan. ...

The choice of simulations is out of Ariel’s and Jenna’s hands. Since taking over as NASTI’s financial benefactor, Persephone and Hades have been thrusting them into simulations with increasing peril. In this simulation, they find themselves on Moonbase Alpha. Something is amiss with the nuclear storge facility. Eagle pilots are returning with what looks like radiation burns, but no radioactivity is detected. No alarms have sounded, radiation sensors at the waste facility, five silos dug deep into lunar basalt, show safe levels of radiation. Ariel and Jenna are sent to investigate in ...
