Reboot My Heart 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

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
Reboot My Heart Chapter One: The Compatibility Ceremony
The grand hall of the Neo-City Federation shimmered under the glow of holographic lights, the air thick with anticipation. The Compatibility Ceremony was the most awaited event of the year, where the Universal System would reveal the fated partners of its citizens. For Kian Arlen, it was a night he had both longed for and dreaded. Kian stood at the edge of the crowd, his hands shoved deep into the pockets of his worn-out jacket. His low-level System implant buzzed faintly on his wrist, a constant reminder of his place in the hierarchy. Around him, the elite of the Federation mingled effortlessly, their high Power Levels evident in the way they carried themselves. Kian’s eyes, however, were fixed on one person: Elena Voss. Elena stood at the center of the room, radiant in a gown that seemed to glow with the same brilliance as her Power Level. Her dark hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her sharp green eyes scanned the crowd with a mix of confidence and detachment. She was the H
Reboot My Heart Chapter Two: The Power Within
Kian stared at his System implant, the glowing interface casting an eerie light on his face. The message blinked insistently: System Override Activated. Power Level Upgrade Imminent. His heart pounded as a surge of energy coursed through him, unlike anything he had ever felt. It was as if the System itself had awakened something deep within him, something powerful and untamed. His implant, once dull and lifeless, now pulsed with a vibrant golden light, its hum resonating in his bones. “What… is this?” Kian whispered, his voice trembling. Before he could process what was happening, a sharp pain shot through his skull, and he stumbled backward, clutching his head. Visions flashed before his eyes—scenes of fire, betrayal, and a future he couldn’t yet comprehend. He saw Elena, her face pale and terrified, reaching out to him. He saw Marcus, his smug smile twisted into a snarl. And he saw himself, standing tall and commanding, his Power Level radiating like a star. The pain subsid
Reboot My Heart Chapter Three: Shadows of the Past
The observatory was eerily silent, save for the faint hum of the city below. Kian stood protectively in front of Elena, his golden System implant glowing faintly in the dim light. Darius stood a few feet away, his crimson implant casting an ominous red glow on his face. His smirk was cold, his eyes sharp with malice. “Darius,” Kian said, his voice steady despite the tension crackling in the air. “What are you doing here?” Darius tilted his head, his smirk widening. “Isn’t it obvious? I’m here to finish what I started.” Elena gripped Kian’s arm, her voice trembling. “Kian, he’s working with Marcus. They’ve been planning something—something big. I didn’t know who else to turn to.” Kian’s heart ached at the fear in her voice, but he kept his focus on Darius. “Whatever you’re planning, it’s over. The Federation knows about the rebels.” Darius laughed, a harsh, mocking sound. “Oh, Kian. You always were so naive. The Federation? The System? They’re all part of the problem. And you
Reboot My Heart Chapter Four: Fractured Trust
The room was quiet, save for the soft hum of the city outside. Kian and Elena stood close, their hands intertwined, the weight of their shared pain and newfound resolve hanging heavy in the air. For a moment, it felt like the world had narrowed to just the two of them, the chaos outside fading into the background. But the moment was fleeting. A sharp knock on the door shattered the silence, and Kian instinctively stepped in front of Elena, his golden implant flickering to life. The door opened to reveal Captain Selene Drake, her expression tense. “We need to move,” she said, her voice low and urgent. “Marcus knows Elena’s here. He’s coming.” Elena’s breath hitched, and Kian felt her grip tighten on his hand. “How?” she whispered. Selene’s jaw tightened. “He’s got eyes everywhere. The System’s compromised, and he’s using it to track us. We don’t have much time.” Kian nodded, his mind racing. “Where do we go?” “There’s a safe house outside the city,” Selene replied. “It’s
Reboot My Heart Chapter Five: The Trap
The old subway station was eerily silent, save for the faint drip of water echoing through the tunnels. Darius stood before them, his crimson implant casting an ominous glow that illuminated his cold, calculating smile. Behind him, a group of armed rebels emerged from the shadows, their weapons trained on Kian, Elena, and Selene. Kian stepped forward, his golden implant flickering to life as he positioned himself protectively in front of Elena. “Darius,” he said, his voice steady despite the adrenaline coursing through him. “Let us go. This doesn’t have to end in violence.” Darius chuckled, a low, mocking sound that sent a chill down Kian’s spine. “Oh, Kian. Always the hero. But this time, you’re out of your depth.” Selene stepped up beside Kian, her weapon raised and her crimson implant glowing fiercely. “You’re not walking out of here, Darius. Not this time.” Darius’s smirk widened. “Brave words, Captain. But you’re outnumbered. And outmatched.” Before anyone could react,
Reboot My Heart Chapter Six: The Control Center
The night was thick with tension as Kian, Elena, and the Elite Division team approached the old System Control Center. The building loomed in the distance, its once-gleaming facade now cracked and overgrown with vines. It was a relic of a bygone era, a symbol of the System’s power—and its corruption. Kian adjusted the strap of his weapon, his golden implant glowing faintly under his sleeve. Beside him, Elena walked with quiet determination, her eyes fixed on the building ahead. She had insisted on joining the mission, despite Kian’s protests. “I need to do this,” she had said, her voice firm. “For my father. For the Federation. For us.” Kian had relented, though his heart ached with worry. He couldn’t lose her—not again. Commander Ryker led the team, his voice low as he issued orders. “We’ll split into two groups. Kian, Elena, and I will take the main entrance. The rest of you, secure the perimeter. No one gets in or out.” The team nodded, their expressions grim. This was it

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 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
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
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
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
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 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. "
