Reboot My Heart Chapter 35: The Echoes of War
The hallway stretched before them, endless and pulsing with warning lights as the blaring alarms echoed off the metallic walls. Kian’s heartbeat pounded in sync with the rapid flashing, his muscles tensed as he ran beside the mysterious woman who had thrown his world into chaos.Behind them, the Sentinels were gaining ground.Their movements were unnatural—silent and fluid despite their massive, armored forms. Their crimson eyes locked onto Kian with an eerie, unwavering focus. They weren’t hunting. They were erasing.The woman tugged sharply on his wrist, forcing him down a side passage as a pulse of energy erupted from behind them. Kian barely dodged in time as the metallic walls buckled and sparked, the heat scorching his back."What the hell are these things?" he hissed, gripping his wrist where the implant beneath his skin burned with an unfamiliar energy."They’re what’s left of the Federation’s first mistake," the woman answered, her voice tight with urgency. "And if they reach
Reboot My Heart Chapter 36: The Awakening War Machine
The ground trembled beneath them. Kian barely had time to process the woman’s words before the deep, mechanical groan of shifting metal echoed through the chamber. The air vibrated with a force that wasn’t just movement—it was power awakening from centuries of slumber.His gaze snapped to the holographic map. The ship wasn’t just underground. It was buried beneath layers of security and ancient technology, hidden away as if it was never meant to be found.Yet, here they were.Kian swallowed hard. "You said this was the last stronghold of the Old War." His voice was steady, but there was a weight to it, a feeling that he wasn’t sure he was ready to confront. "What does that mean? And why do I feel like I’ve been here before?"The woman didn’t answer immediately. Her fingers worked rapidly over the console, pulling up long-dormant systems, activating controls that had been untouched for decades—maybe even centuries. The blue lights of the interface flickered erratically, struggling to s
Reboot My Heart Chapter 37: The Federation’s Reckoning
The ship shuddered violently as another explosion rocked the underground chamber. Dust and debris rained from above, and warning sirens blared across the control room. The Federation was wasting no time—they had found Kian, and they were coming for him with everything they had.Kian’s fists clenched as he turned toward the main screen. Federation warships hovered just above the surface, their massive cannons charging up another round of devastating fire. He could already hear the echo of heavy machinery being deployed, the distant clang of armored units preparing for battle."We don’t have much time," the woman beside him said, her fingers flying across the control panel. "The ship is still waking up, but the external shields aren’t fully operational. If they keep hitting us like this, we won’t last long."Kian exhaled sharply. "Then we don’t wait."He turned toward the kneeling Sentinel. The massive war machine remained still, its glowing blue eyes locked on him, as if awaiting order
Reboot My Heart Chapter 38: The Unseen War
The silence inside the warship was deafening.Kian stood at the center of the command deck, staring at the massive holo-display before him. The tactical interface pulsed with golden light, mapping out the Federation's response in real-time. Their forces were converging—fast.Behind him, Elena, Selene, and Marcus stood in tense silence. Even Marcus, always smug and full of sarcastic remarks, seemed uncharacteristically serious."The Federation isn't hesitating," Selene murmured, scrolling through the data. "They're sending multiple strike teams—Elite Hunters, war drones, and something labeled 'Protocol Zero.'"Kian frowned. "Protocol Zero?"Elena stiffened. "I’ve heard of it before. It’s a last-resort measure. If the Federation can’t capture their target… they erase it. No survivors."Selene exhaled sharply. "So they’re not just coming for you, Kian. They’re coming to destroy everything."A cold determination settled in Kian's chest."Then we make sure they fail."He turned to the holo
Reboot My Heart Chapter 39: The Unyielding Storm
The battlefield trembled as Kian raised his hand, and the Sentinels surged forward like an unstoppable tide.The Federation forces had barely begun their retreat, their warships struggling to regain control, but Kian wasn’t about to let them escape. Not this time.Golden energy pulsed through the air, a signal between Kian and the Sentinels. A command. A decree.Within moments, the battlefield shifted.The Sentinels moved as one, their golden forms weaving through the sky with terrifying precision. Every Federation war drone, every strike team, every fleeing officer—none were safe.The enemy’s ships tried to escape orbit, but the Sentinels cut them off, forming an unbreakable perimeter.It was no longer a battle.It was an execution.The Federation's Last Stand"Command, we're losing too many ships!" A frantic voice crackled through the Federation’s comms.Admiral Rylen, the Federation fleet commander, clenched his fists as he watched his forces crumble. He had underestimated the Sent
Reboot My Heart Chapter 40: The Unseen Enemy
A heavy silence filled the warship’s command center.Kian’s golden eyes burned as he stared at the massive fleet that had emerged from the rift. Unknown. Unfamiliar. But undeniably powerful.His hands remained steady on the console, but inside, his mind was racing.Who were they?How did they know his name?And more importantly—why did they say he carried something that didn’t belong to him?The Federation had been nothing more than a corrupt power grasping at control, but this… this was different.Elena exhaled sharply beside him. "Kian… This isn’t just some rogue faction. Their technology—it’s beyond anything I’ve ever seen."Selene cursed under her breath as she studied the readings. "They're disrupting our systems. I can’t get an exact count, but there are dozens—no, hundreds of ships."The warship’s AI flickered again, struggling to process the overwhelming data."Warning: External force attempting to override primary controls. Defensive measures activated."Kian’s jaw tightened.
Reboot My Heart Chapter 41: The Chains of Fate
The silence after the warship’s cannon fire was brief—too brief.Kian’s golden gaze burned as he watched the energy beams surge forward, tearing through the darkness of space like divine judgment. The enemy fleet, vast and seemingly unshakable, faced its first true test.The initial impact was devastating.Boom.One of the enemy warships exploded under the sheer force of the blast, its structure folding in on itself before vanishing into nothingness. The golden Sentinels, still caught between two conflicting commands, hesitated.For a moment, Kian thought he had gained the upper hand.Then came the counterattack.The enemy fleet didn’t scatter.They didn’t retreat.They didn’t even flinch.Instead, they moved as one, their ships shifting into an eerily perfect formation. Not a single wasted movement. Not a single moment of hesitation.A warning siren blared inside the warship."Multiple energy signatures detected. Incoming attack imminent."Selene’s fingers flew across the controls. "
Reboot My Heart Chapter 42: The Throne That Calls
The golden glow of the Sentinels faded as the battlefield grew eerily silent. The enemy fleet was gone—erased—yet the voice’s final words echoed in Kian’s mind like an unshakable curse."Then take your throne, False King."Kian’s breath was steady, but his body felt heavier. His fingertips burned from the power he had unleashed, and the weight of something unseen pressed against his chest.This wasn’t over.This was only the beginning.Selene’s voice shattered the quiet. “Kian, are you okay?”Elena was beside him, her eyes locked on his. Concern flickered in their depths, but there was something else—something she wasn’t saying.He ignored it. “Status report.”Selene’s hands flew over the controls. “Damage across multiple decks. Shields down to thirty-two percent. We lost three warships and sustained major structural damage, but we’re still operational.”Kian turned to Elena. “Casualties?”Elena hesitated. “Fifty-three confirmed. Several injured. We got lucky.”Lucky.He clenched his

Chapter 56: The Last Gamble
The chamber trembled violently, stone and debris raining from above as the Core’s severed energy spiraled out of control. Kian barely managed to keep his footing as the force of the explosion sent waves of unstable power rippling through the ruins.Across from him, Marcus had collapsed onto his knees, clutching his chest where the wound still bled. His once-smug expression was gone, replaced by something Kian had never seen before—fear.Kian had done it.He had severed Marcus’s connection to the Core.But now, the entire place was coming down.Cracks spread across the ground, jagged and deep, as if the earth itself was splitting apart. The Core’s shattered remains flickered erratically, pulsing between bursts of golden and black energy, unstable and wild.If he didn’t get out now, there would be no escaping.But his gaze flickered toward Marcus.I have a choice.Marcus had betrayed him, stolen his recognition, turned the entire Federation against him. He had aligned himself with the F
Chapter 55: The Core’s Descent
The chamber pulsed with unstable energy. The once-radiant glow of the Core was flickering, dark tendrils snaking around its brilliance, leeching away its purity. The air thickened, suffocating, pressing down like an unseen force as Marcus’s twisted smirk deepened.Kian could feel the Core’s distress, its power slipping from his grasp. Every second that passed, the darkness grew stronger. He had to act—now.But Marcus had planned for this.With a slow, deliberate step forward, Marcus raised his hand, and the shadows obeyed. They slithered across the stone floor, forming jagged, clawed extensions of himself—limbs of pure void. The Forgotten Ones moved in unison, their grotesque forms shifting unnaturally, as if reality itself rejected them.Marcus tilted his head. “Can you feel it, Kian? The Core is choosing me now. It knows you’re weak. That you can’t protect it.”Kian clenched his fists, feeling the Core’s fading warmth between his fingers. No. He couldn’t let Marcus win.“Wrong,” Kia
Chapter 54: The Core’s Trial
The moment Kian stepped forward, the world around him collapsed.Or rather, it expanded—infinitely.One second, he was walking through the threshold of the Core. The next, he was standing in an endless void, suspended between existence and something beyond comprehension.Elena, Selene, and Marcus were by his side, yet he couldn’t feel their presence in the way he normally would. It was as if they were ghosts, drifting in and out of his perception.The voice that had greeted him still lingered in the air, surrounding them like a physical force.“Welcome, Kian Arlen. We’ve been waiting for you.”Kian’s breath hitched. The voice wasn’t human. It wasn’t singular. It was countless voices layered atop one another, speaking in perfect harmony.And it knew his name.Elena reached for him, but her hand barely brushed against his before dissolving into shimmering particles. She gasped, her body flickering like a broken projection.“Kian!” she called, her voice distant. “Something’s wrong—”Befo
Chapter 53: The Guardian of the Core
Silence.A thick, suffocating silence wrapped around them as Kian’s group stood at the threshold of the Core.The figure waiting for them was motionless, shrouded in the dim glow of the entrance’s pulsating energy. Their presence was undeniable, radiating a force that sent a shiver down Kian’s spine.Elena stiffened beside him, her fingers inching toward her weapon. Selene and Marcus exchanged wary glances, readying themselves for a confrontation.Kian’s heart pounded as he stepped forward, his eyes narrowing as the figure’s face came into view.And then his blood ran cold.Because he knew this man.“Darius.”The name left his lips like a curse.Darius Voss, once Kian’s closest ally, now stood between them and the Core.His former friend.His greatest rival.The man who had claimed Elena as his partner.A smirk played across Darius’s lips as he stepped forward, his stance relaxed, yet undeniably menacing. His piercing eyes swept over the group before settling on Kian.“You’re late,” D
Chapter 52: Shadows of the Forgotten
The silence that followed was suffocating. Kian’s pulse pounded in his ears as he took in the aftermath of what had just transpired. The air still crackled with residual energy, and the weight of unseen forces pressed against his consciousness.Elena stood beside him, her breathing shallow, her gaze flickering between him and the shifting shadows that danced along the ruined walls. The others remained on edge, their bodies tense as they processed the gravity of what had just occurred.But Kian knew this wasn’t over.Not yet.He clenched his fists, grounding himself as the conflicting voices in his mind warred for dominance. The echoes of the Forgotten Ones, the remnants of the Federation’s control, the unrelenting pull of the System—all of it converged, demanding a choice.A choice he wasn’t ready to make.Selene broke the silence first. “We can’t stay here. The Federation will have already detected the surge in energy. We need to move.”Kian turned to her, his mind clearing just enou
Chapter 51: The War Begins
The explosion sent a tremor through the underground base. Dust rained from the ceiling, and the distant sounds of battle echoed through the tunnels.Kian’s instincts kicked in immediately. His mind raced, evaluating every possible escape route, every potential weapon.Astra’s voice rang through the stronghold:“All units, battle positions! The Federation is breaching the outer perimeter!”Kian turned to Ryker, his heart pounding. “Tell me you’ve got a plan.”The old general’s eyes flickered with grim determination. “Plans only work until the first shot is fired.”That wasn’t reassuring.Another explosion. Closer this time. The dull roar of collapsing metal filled the air.The base was under siege.And they were still locked inside a holding cell.Astra stormed into the cellblock, a rifle slung over her shoulder. She looked at Ryker first. “We don’t have time for debates. We need to move.”Ryker nodded and turned to Kian. “I assume you’re done thinking about it?”Kian exhaled. He didn’
Chapter 50: No Way Out
The metallic stench of burning circuitry filled the air, mingling with the sharp tang of gunpowder and blood. The bunker trembled around them, deep rumblings echoing through the walls like the growl of some slumbering beast about to awaken. But it wasn’t the collapsing bunker that sent a chill down Kian’s spine. It was him. The man stood tall, flanked by an elite squad of Federation enforcers, their weapons gleaming under the emergency lighting. His expression was unreadable, but the faint smirk curling at his lips was unmistakable—triumph. Elena stood frozen beside Kian, her face pale. “Father,” she whispered, disbelief laced in her voice. Voss barely spared her a glance before shifting his attention to Kian. “I expected you to be smarter than this,” he mused. “Hiding in a collapsing bunker? Desperation doesn’t suit you, Kian.” Kian forced his breathing to steady, eyes darting to the only exit—now blocked by Voss and his men. Two minutes left before the bunker detonate
Chapter 49: The Offer
The air in the bunker felt thick—charged with something unnatural. The Forgotten Ones stood still, their glowing silver eyes locked on Kian, waiting.Waiting for his answer.Elena’s grip tightened on his arm. “Kian, what the hell is going on?”He didn’t answer. Couldn’t answer.The vision still burned in his mind. The shadows. The voice. The truth he wasn’t ready to face."You know what must be done."His heart pounded. What did that even mean?The others were waiting too. Marcus had his gun raised, his face set in a deep scowl. Selene looked ready to bolt. Darius was unreadable—watching Kian with narrowed eyes, as if trying to see inside his head.Then, the Forgotten One at the front moved.It took a single step forward, its body flickering like a glitch in reality.Kian didn’t flinch.But the others did.“Back up,” Marcus warned, shifting his weapon.Darius lifted a hand. “No. Let’s see what it wants.”Marcus shot him an incredulous look. “What it wants? Are you insane? That thing j
Chapter 48
The dust hadn’t even settled from the explosion when Kian felt it—a pulse through his implant, an unbearable pressure that sent sharp waves of pain through his skull. He gritted his teeth, forcing himself to stand despite the tremors in his limbs.The figure standing at the entrance of the shattered bunker was unmistakable. Darius Voss.Even through the thick haze, Kian could make out the gleaming silver armor, the sharp, calculated stance, and the cold familiarity that sent a shiver down his spine."Darius," Elena breathed beside him, her voice laced with shock and unease.Kian’s jaw tightened. The man he once called a friend. The one who betrayed him.Darius tilted his head slightly, his masked face unreadable. Then, his voice rang out, amplified through the high-tech modulator in his helmet."You look well, Kian," he said, stepping forward. "Stronger than the last time we met."Kian didn’t move. His heart pounded in his chest, but his voice was steady. "Did you come to finish what
