The Architect

The promise was immortality. The price was control. When the Abadi Serum was introduced, humanity believed it had conquered death. The cost was a microchip embedded deep in the vagus nerve; hailed as a medical marvel, but built to sync every mind to the system. A quiet cage in exchange for 900 years of life. Then came the virus. Disguised as a routine update, it rewrote the chip's programming. What followed was madness: psychotic breaks, hallucinations, mass violence. Infected minds unraveled. Civilization collapsed in days. At the center of the outbreak is the Architect; a sentient digital intelligence built to protect the virus at any cost. Kira Morgan, a brilliant analyst, races to uncover the truth before the last boundary between human and machine is lost. But she's not alone. Watching from inside the system is Tian Jin; a hacker with knowledge too dangerous to trust, a past too fractured to escape, and a presence she can no longer ignore. The world is unraveling. The code is alive.She's caught in between. He's too broken to keep fighting. And salvation may lie in the hands of something that was never meant to feel. The Architect is a psychological sci-fi thriller about control, corruption and the fragile bond between two minds on opposite sides of a digital apocalypse.
