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
Reboot My Heart Chapter 43: The Chains of Fate
The warship’s command room was a battlefield of flashing red alarms and frantic voices. The holographic screen pulsed with urgent warnings as the unknown fleet hovered in the void, their formation unwavering.Kian stood frozen.His eyes locked onto the second throne displayed on the screen.It was different from the cracked, corrupted one he had seen in the vision. This one was pristine—untouched by time or decay. A throne meant for a ruler. A throne meant for—Him.He clenched his fists, forcing himself to break away from the sight. “Selene, analyze those ships. What are we dealing with?”Selene’s fingers moved swiftly over the controls, her face pale. “I—I don’t know what they are. They don’t match any known Federation, rebel, or alien fleet.”Kian’s voice was sharp. “Then what do they match?”Silence.Selene swallowed, then whispered, “They match you.”The words sent a cold pulse through the room.Kian’s stomach twisted. “Explain.”Selene turned the screen toward him. “The energy s
Reboot My Heart Chapter 44: The Return of the King
Silence filled the command deck.The golden message still burned on the screen, its weight sinking into Kian’s mind."AR’THERON, LAST HEIR OF THE LOST DYNASTY. RETURN TO YOUR KINGDOM."The words stirred something deep within him—something beyond memory, beyond logic. A calling.Elena took a hesitant step forward, her voice cautious. “Kian… what does this mean?”He didn’t answer immediately. His gaze remained locked on the screen, his mind racing. His whole life, he had been a man without a place, fighting for his own survival, clawing his way through betrayal and hardship.But now…Now, the universe was telling him he had always belonged somewhere else.Selene’s fingers flew over the controls. “This is insane,” she muttered. “The data coming from this fleet—it’s old, Kian. Not just decades. Centuries. This isn’t some rogue faction. This is ancient.”Kian clenched his jaw. He already knew that. He felt it.The masked figure’s voice returned, smooth and measured."You feel it, don’t you
Reboot My Heart Chapter 45: The Cost of Victory
The battlefield was eerily silent.The massive golden rift in space had swallowed the Federation’s fleet, pulling their powerful dreadnoughts into the unknown. The golden warships drifted across the void, their once-glowing sigils dimming as their energy subsided.Kian stood on the bridge of his flagship, his gaze locked on the emptiness where Voss’s fleet had once been. The rift was closing, sealing away the destruction it had unleashed.Selene’s fingers flew across the controls. “The gravitational readings are stabilizing… but Kian, this wasn’t just an attack.” She looked up, her expression tense. “That was a dimensional rupture. Whatever that energy was, it didn’t just destroy Voss’s fleet—it pulled them somewhere else.”Elena’s voice was quiet, but sharp. “Somewhere we can’t reach.”Kian exhaled slowly. He had changed the rules of war—but at what cost?The masked figure, still standing at the edge of the bridge, smiled beneath his hood. “It seems you have claimed your first true v
Reboot My Heart Chapter 46: The Council’s Gambit
The moment the transmission cut off, the bridge fell into silence.Kian leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping against the armrest. His demand had been made—Marcus Hale would be exiled, hunted, and forced to face the consequences of his betrayal.But Kian knew better than to assume things would go smoothly.“Elena,” he said, turning toward her, “what’s the likelihood that Regan actually delivers on this deal?”Elena exhaled, crossing her arms. “If it were up to him? I’d say highly likely. Regan’s a politician, not a warrior. He knows that challenging you now is a mistake.” She glanced at Selene. “But the High Council? That’s a different story.”Selene nodded. “There’s no way the entire Federation is going to accept this without resistance. Some will see your demand as a sign of weakness, as if you’re settling for revenge instead of conquest. Others will see it as a sign of strength, proving that you can dictate terms.”Kian’s eyes darkened. “It doesn’t matter what they think. I
Reboot My Heart Chapter 47: Whispers of the Forgotten
The silence after the explosion was almost deafening. The lingering smoke curled through the air, a ghostly remnant of the destruction that had just unfolded. Kian pushed himself up from the rubble, coughing against the dust that coated his lungs. His body ached from the impact, but pain was a familiar companion now.“Elena!” His voice was hoarse, but he forced himself to move, scanning the debris for any sign of her.A groan came from behind a collapsed beam. Kian rushed over, ignoring the sharp protest of his ribs. He found her pinned under a slab of metal, her breathing shallow but steady. Relief coursed through him even as dread crept in.“Hold on,” he muttered, gripping the beam with both hands. His implant flared to life, sending a surge of energy through his limbs. With a deep breath, he heaved the metal aside, freeing her.Elena gasped as the pressure on her chest lifted, her eyes fluttering open. “Kian…”“I’m here.” He helped her sit up, quickly assessing the damage. Bruises,

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
