Reboot My Heart Chapter 59: Echoes of Blood and Memory
Kian stood motionless.The message Elena had sent still hovered in front of him, its implications sharper than any blade he’d ever wielded. Four children. His children. Alive. Breathing. And right beside the woman who had once shattered him.The cold grip of betrayal no longer stung—it was something deeper now. A confusion he couldn't shake, and a storm of emotion he hadn't prepared to face. Rage, yes. Regret, certainly. But beneath it all—hope. A hope he wanted to kill before it killed him.“I need eyes on Elena. Now,” he barked into his comms. “Find her. Trace the signal from that message. I want the exact location. And bring me the original—don’t let the AI decrypt it without me.”He ended the call and turned, only to find someone waiting in the shadows of the command hall.“You always did let emotions get the better of you,” the figure said, stepping into the light.It was Darius.Kian’s expression darkened. “You’re the last person I want to see right now.”“I’m not here to gloat,
Reboot My Heart Chapter 60: The Edge of Truth
Kian stood frozen, the sound of his breath loud in the sudden silence. The man’s words echoed in his head: “I’m your brother, Kian.”The storm outside battered the edges of the facility, but inside, everything had fallen still. Kian’s eyes narrowed as he studied the stranger—tall, lean, bearing subtle similarities to his own face, but older. Hardened.“My brother is dead,” Kian said coldly, gripping the edge of the table until his knuckles turned white.The man didn’t flinch. “That’s what they told you. But lies have built your entire life, haven’t they?”Kian’s jaw tightened. “Who are you?”The man took a step closer, placing something small and metallic on the table. It was an old dog tag—rusted, with one side scratched. Kian turned it over and read the name engraved on the back: Lior Arlen.The breath caught in his throat.Impossible.Lior Arlen. His older brother. The one who was reported missing in action during a classified operation over a decade ago. The one his mother wept ov
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 58: Shattered Truths
Kian stared at the message Elena had sent him. The screen flickered faintly in his trembling hand. The image showed her—tired, weather-worn, eyes hollow from what seemed like years of carrying too much. But she wasn’t alone.Four children. Not just one. Four.They stood behind her like shadows—tall, small, one clutching the hem of her robe, another barely visible behind her shoulder. Their eyes carried echoes of something he couldn’t ignore: his own defiance, Elena’s fire, and something else—something deeper, more complex.The mysterious figure who’d whispered “You’re too late” had vanished into the shadows, as if the words alone were enough to fracture Kian's resolve. But he didn’t move. Not immediately. Not until the message finished playing again.The children didn’t speak, but the youngest girl raised her hand—hesitantly—toward the lens, as though she wanted to reach out.And Kian’s heart shattered.“I need coordinates,” he snapped suddenly. “Pull the data signature from that tran
Chapter 57: Secrets Unveiled
The message blinked on Kian's screen. At first, he couldn't comprehend what he was seeing, his mind struggling to process the words that Elena had sent him. It wasn't a simple text. It was a photo, one that shook him to his core.The image was of Elena, yes, but what truly caught Kian's attention were the four children standing by her side. They weren’t just any children. They were hers—his children.A cold wave of disbelief crashed over him, his breath catching in his throat. He blinked at the screen, as if doing so would somehow make sense of the surreal image in front of him.They were all so young, not more than a few years old. The oldest, a boy with deep, inquisitive eyes, had a striking resemblance to Kian—his angular jaw, the shape of his nose, the way his lips curled in a faint, knowing smile. The youngest, a girl, was still in Elena's arms, clutching her mother’s sleeve, her wide eyes full of innocence and vulnerability.Elena stood in the middle, her gaze direct and unwaver
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
