In a world that is defined by power, Lance stands out as the only enigma-nap, with no visible aim and a razor-sharp tongue. This lazy, sharp-tongued orphan, however, hides under the indifferent face a very sharp mind and single terrifying thought: 'Can I become a god?' He transforms that rather weird obsession into an obstinate path for becoming the controller of the very texture of society. Thus, in walking such cunning schemes, he really very well plans the things in a manner that all those who will be caught in the web don't know how they got entrapped. Ranging from the shadowy syndicates to ancient bloodlines vying for supremacy, everyone is just another piece on his board. Evelyn, heiress to a legacy now crumbling, has her own fights. Mysteriously, both parents vanished in relation to a top-secret research project. The thing preventing total destruction of the family's an ancient curse: utter ruin to any that lay a hand upon this bloodline-the protection has already started to fade. In a fateful meet with Lance, Evelyn would acquire an artifact capable of giving unimaginable superhuman powers. But one condition binds their uneasy alliance: equivalent exchange. Such were destined to forge alliances as well as betray and cut secret deals, and in such noise, Lance discovers the buried legacy of his own blod, a legacy that perhaps holds the key to his grand ambition towards godhood. Bloodlines are unveiled, as underground superhuman races come to light, and as secret organizations revealed their own conspiracy towards ascendencion. Lance sacrifices pawns in a larger game that only he can see in every moves. Even gods bleed. Will Lance maneuvers his enemies to rise to the throne of immortality or will his cold calculations be trumped by love, betrayal, and the unraveling secrets of his past?.

    Chapter 1: The Whispers of a God's Dream

    Chapter 1: The Whispers of a God's DreamThe sun was sinking low and taking its time over the sprawling cityscape of Meridian Heights, patting the skies in fiery orange and soft pink. Amid the chorus of honking horns, the screams of frantic street vendors, and hurried footsteps, there was an apartment that stood apart-it probably had to do with its unusually lethargic aura. Inside did lie Lance Drayton, docked in a threadbare couch, surrounded by books and gadgets strewn across the floor. He turned the pages of his phone in a lazy manner, and a faint, almost imperceptible smirk pulled at his lips."Another up-top day," he murmured, his satisfaction tinged with the contentment lacing his voice.The door to his apartment slammed open, and there walked a young man with disheveled hair, breathless face running on the flushed side. Nate, this was the name of the boy and Lance's childhood friend, self-appointed conscience."Lance! This can't go on," Nate huffed, leaning against the doorfram

  • The Godhood Algorithm   Chapter 43: Shadows of Resolve

    Chapter 43: Shadows of Resolve The forest now had an ominous silence, after the din they had just been saved from. Lance and Kiera trudged on, their strained jealousy so evident between them while only the muffled squelch of leaves under boots remained as the energy being's roars had long faded into the distance. Kiera broke their silence. She ran a hand through her hair and said, "Okay. No more running. What's the plan? Because whatever that thing was back there, it is not going to stop itself." Lance didn't respond immediately. He fixed his eyes on the indistinct jags of clear moonlight cutting across the dense canopy overhead. His thoughts hustled and pushed through more and more possibilities. As they drifted off, he lifted his voice-blended fire with calmness. "We need answers. That creature was tied to that artifact, and it

  • The Godhood Algorithm   Chapter 42: A Web of Shadows

    Chapter 42: A Web of ShadowsThe darkness of the night hung heavy, as if the stars themselves had withdrawn, as Lance and Kiera sank deeper into the oppressive forest that surrounded the Iron Spire. Splintered moonbeams filtered through the leaves above and uncoiled a long, confusing pattern on the earth below. The slightest leaf crackle or far-off animal call seemed to sharpen their alertness. Lance's hand tightened on the hilt of his dagger, and Kiera's eyes flitted from shadow to shadow, searching for threats."Are you sure this is the right way?" Kiera asked, her voice almost lost against the sounds of the forest.Lance nodded. "The energy of the artifact is unmistakable. It's here. But we're not alone."They moved slowly, deliberately, to avoid snapping twigs or rustling leaves as they approached a clearing when suddenly,

    Chapter 2: The First Move
    Chapter 2: The First MoveThe night air in Meridian Heights was thick with foreboding as Lance stepped off the bus and into a neighborhood he didn’t know. The address Celeste had given him led to an upscale area of gated mansions and backroom deals. The kind of place where secrets were currency and power was brokered behind closed doors.Lance’s sharp eyes took in the house before him. A modern glass and steel monstrosity against the moonlit sky. The gates swung open as he approached and the security system scanned him without asking. He grinned to himself.“Fancy,” he said, straightening his rumpled jacket. “Let’s see what’s behind door number one.”Inside the air was thick with tension and intent. The main hall was a paradox of luxury and menace—plush rugs underfoot, chandeliers overhead and shadowy figures speaking in hushed tones. Lance felt the weight of their eyes on him as he walked in, every step oozing his signature slacker attitude, a mask for his sharp mind.Celeste appeare

    Chapter 3: The Echoes of Power
    Chapter 3: The Echoes of PowerThe drizzle gradually grew into a steady rain while Lance wandered through the cobblestone streets of Eldermire City. He walked slowly with his hands in pockets and mind moving back and forth between alerted thoughts and the unedifying stagnancy of his life. There was no destination, just a natural urge pulling him along-curiosity and the haunting question: Could I really be a god? Lance, though known as an idler, indeed possessed a rare intelligence that would set him apart: detached-but razor-sharp mind could notice the pattern and behaviors that others fail to do. The thought of godhood had ignited something within him that was sizzling, threatening to blaze into a fire that could not be quenched. Not that he'd let anyone see it: outside, he remained as lazy and uninterested as ever.He was broken from his reverie by Evelyn, appearing at his side with auburn hair glued to her face in the rain, an expression of unease skewing her typical self-composur

    Chapter 4: Webs of Intrigue
    Chapter 4: Webs of IntrigueThe holographic display in his dark flat threw eerie blue and green reflections across Lance's face. He was so perfectly lazy that it could have palpably hung in the air-a cloud of sloth. But behind that inactivity, his mind was a tornado of equations and probable venues. He had kept himself busy on a hear-say trail, rumored in the underground circles concerning a relic of the past-the Codex of Eternity, which said to have a very lost map that the gods have made."Why should I bother putting all that into writing when I can have them make it bother me?" was the phrase on the lips of Lance, sneeringly. But even as his mind gave up on the notion, his fingers were already pulling encrypted file collections. The Codex wasn't simply a relic-It's the symbol of power which in the hands of anyone desiring to be the next god. If it existed, it could serve either as a weapon or a bargaining chip in his attempts toward divinity.The display beeped and a familiar name

    Chapter 5: The Pieces in Motion
    Chapter 5: The Pieces in MotionThe warehouse on the edge of town was dimly lit and humming with quiet. Lance leaned against a pillar, arms crossed, his laziness a mask for the sharp mind behind his eyes. Evelyn paced in front of him, the glow of the data tablet on her face as she scrolled through the stolen Zenith files.“This is bigger than I thought,” she said, her voice full of wonder and fear. “The Aetherium Initiative isn’t just about tech. It’s about something… more.”Lance raised an eyebrow. “More is vague. Try again.”“They’re building gods,” Evelyn said, stopping to look at him. “And they’ll destroy the world to do it.”Lance whistled low. “So, where do we fit in? Pawns, knights or something more original?”Evelyn rolled her eyes. “If this is a game, Lance, it’s one where everyone loses. The Initiative’s experiments are destabilizing entire regions. They’re behind the rise of superhuman factions, underground wars and—”“And your parents,” Lance said. His words hung in the ai

    Chapter 6: Web of Shadows
    Chapter 6: Web of ShadowsThe sky over Athenfall City was a quilt of deep purples and black, the stars a jarring contrast to the mess below. Lance was sprawled on the roof of a crumbling warehouse, a nearly empty bottle of cheap bourbon dangling from his hand. He looked like he was lounging, but his eyes weren’t. They were sharp as razors, following the shadows and headlights on the streets below.“Another night, another rat,” he said. A notification flashed on the holographic watch on his wrist and he tapped it slow and deliberate. A message from Arlo, one of his many unwilling informants, appeared.“Vanguard Pharmaceuticals—movement at the docks tonight. High value cargo. Be careful.”Lance’s lips curved upward. Vanguard—a behemoth in the underworld of human enhancements. They had the kind of resources and secrets that could tip entire wars. He’d been circling them for months, waiting for the right moment to strike or perhaps feed. He took one last swig from the bottle and tossed it

    Chapter 7: Hidden Fangs
    Chapter 7: Hidden FangsThe sun was up, casting long shadows across the city. Noirhaven was quiet. Lance stood on top of a abandoned building, a great view of the city below. The hum of the city was a cacophony of chaos. Perfect background music for the storm brewing in his head.Evelyn stood beside him, scanning the horizon. Her usual calm was cracking under the weight of what they had discovered. The documents were a mess of corporate power plays, secret experiments and a shadowy organization pulling the strings from behind the scenes. The name “Helios Syndicate” loomed large in the files, a monster of unchecked power.“What’s our next move?” Evelyn asked.Lance didn’t look at her. “We bait them out.”“And how do we do that without getting killed?”He turned to her. “Simple. We give them something they can’t ignore.”Hours later they found themselves in the heart of Noirhaven’s underground—a maze of tunnels and forgotten spaces that was the city’s black market. The air was heavy wit

    Chapter 8: Fractures in the Web
    Chapter 8: Fractures in the WebThe Helios Syndicate had Noirhaven’s underbelly in a chokehold, their operatives threading through the city like spiders. Lance and Evelyn moved with precision, their partnership a tool and a shield against the coming storm.Evelyn was clearly uncomfortable as they wove through the underground market of Noirhaven, a maze of stalls selling everything from rare metals to illegal guns. The air was thick with tension, traders speaking in whispers, their eyes flicking to every shadow. Lance, however, looked completely relaxed. His hands were in his pockets, his posture lounging, but his gaze was sharp as a knife.“You like this, don’t you?” Evelyn asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Lance grinned. “Not every day you get to walk through a market that’ll kill you for asking the wrong question. Relax, Evelyn. Act like you’re one of us.”“Easy for you to say,” she muttered, her hand tightening around the artifact hidden under her jacket. “You don’t have peo

    Chapter 9: Threads of Treachery
    Chapter 9: Threads of TreacheryThe night wrapped Noirhaven in silence, broken only by the hum of power lines and the occasional distant bark of a stray dog. Lance was on the roof of an abandoned building, the metal cool under him and the air cold. His laziness was almost ritualistic, a deliberate defiance of the chaos below. But beneath that surface of sloth, Lance’s mind was whirring like a well oiled machine, planning moves and counter moves in the ever growing game of chess he was playing.Next to him sat Evelyn, her face lit by the soft glow of the artifact in her lap. Its colors shifted across her features and she looked less human and more like an ancient being come to life. She turned to Lance, exasperation in her voice. “You’ve been sitting there all day. Don’t you think it’s time we did something?”Lance nodded, his eyes half closed. “We are doing something. Waiting is an art, Evelyn. You should try it.”Her glare could have melted steel. “The Helios Syndicate is closing in.

    Chapter 10: The First Sacrifice
    Chapter 10: The First SacrificeThe air in Noirhaven was silent as Lance sat on top of a crumbling skyscraper. The city spread out beneath him, its lights twinkling like dying stars. A breeze rustled his loose shirt but he didn’t move his gaze from the horizon where the shadows moved with intent. Tonight was it and Lance’s whole body was humming with anticipation."You’re not talking," Evelyn said, standing a few feet behind him. She was used to Lance’s sass, his quick wit always one step ahead. The silence was heavy, almost weird."Silence doesn’t mean still," he said without turning. He stood up, moving slow. "It means the world is about to change."Evelyn crossed her arms, her grip on the artifact over her shoulder tightening. "Do you think the Syndicate will show?"Lance’s smile was lazy but his eyes were sharp. "They always show when the stakes are high enough. We just need to make the game interesting."That morning Lance had set in motion a series of seemingly unrelated events
