The Key to Nowhere

Sadiq_Usman
In Boston’s rain-soaked North End, Mia Carver, a 25-year-old thief, lives for locks, not truths, her scars whispering of heists survived, not hearts mended. A job to steal a NexGen data shard from a vault beneath a butcher shop goes sideways when she finds no shard but a USB drive, a pendant with a slashed circle, and a note: Mia, flee. The handwriting is Ethan’s, her mentor, supposedly dead in a server explosion two years ago. Her scars burn, her blood hums, nanotech waking, tying her to the Lattice, NexGen’s AI that wires minds, stealing choices, controlling lives. The vault seals, drones with red lenses lock on, their live feed—Mia’s scars, her pulse—branding her as the Lattice’s spark, her blood its key. Trucks circle, a man’s voice—Carver, stop—cuts through the rain, and a woman, patched with the same slashed circle, calls her late, her eyes sharp, like she knows Mia’s blood. Fleeing into Boston’s neon alleys, Mia’s scars glow, the pendant a blade, not a shield, cutting the Lattice’s lies. Ethan’s note isn’t escape but a fight, his fate tied to the Lattice’s core, her blood the lock to break it—or bind her forever.

Creating A Succubus Army In A Fantasy World!

[Warning: Sexual content, lemons, comedy, MILFs, monster girls, face-slapping, and a shameless protagonist!] ..... Creed Walden was a man of culture. Refined. Sophisticated. A true enjoyer of the finer things in life. Which was exactly why he ended up getting shot in the nuts. Who knew that messing with a gangster’s woman would lead to such unfortunate circumstances? One moment, he was enjoying the peak of pleasure, the next—BANG! Eternal darkness. But instead of fading into nothingness, he woke up… in a completely different world. A world he knew. It was the setting of a novel he had read ten years ago—a brutal, unforgiving wasteland where monstrous creatures roamed, and humanity teetered on the brink of extinction. The Apocalypse had begun. Here, humans awakened incredible talents to survive. Some became swordmasters, capable of cutting mountains in half. Others became mages, wielding fire and lightning at their fingertips. The strong ruled, the weak perished, and only those with true power could thrive. And Creed? He awakened… a summoning ability. Not bad, right? He could call forth mighty beasts, legendary heroes, or divine warriors to fight for him! At least, that’s what he thought. Until his first summon appeared. A gorgeous, sultry woman with horns, bat-like wings, and a very inappropriate outfit. A Succubus. It didn’t take long for Creed to realize the shocking truth—his summoning ability could only summon Succubi! The apocalypse was raging. Civilization was collapsing. People were awakening godlike powers to fight for survival. And here he was. Surrounded by beautiful, seductive demons who thrived on… other kinds of energy. Creed leaned back with a grin, his eyes gleaming with a mix of amusement and wicked excitement. “...Well, I suppose there are worse fates.”
