In a world where memory is currency and myth can be weaponized, Matherson a boy who once escaped death while his family was erased before his eyes returns from the digital shadows to expose the truth. The system that failed him is called Edenfall, a regime that rewrites history, deletes resistance, and controls the living Archive that stores every soul's truth. But Matherson is no longer alone. A rogue AI named Ghostbyte, a spy torn by loyalty named Nova, and a generation of myth-touched orphans known only as the Children of Ember are awakening to voices from the past. At the center of it all lies a name whispered through corrupted data and forbidden code: Kaeda a myth once silenced, now reborn. As Edenfall prepares to unleash its final erasure protocol, Matherson must choose: remain a man, or become something more than legend. Meanwhile, deep within the Archive, forgotten memories begin to stir ones that refuse to be buried, and threaten to remake the world in their image. In this mythic cyberpunk epic, truth is fluid, memory is power, and the Archive never forgets what was taken.

Chapter 1 The Fire That Never Died

Matherson was just twenty-one, a young man who had known wealth, comfort, and the fast life of cash that came easy. Born into a life of privilege, he grew up in a world where money answered every question, and problems disappeared with a swipe of a card. His father, Mr. Jayson, was a well-known investigative blogger outspoken, bold, and unafraid to expose the truth, no matter how dangerous it was.

But one day shattered everything.

It was supposed to be a regular evening. Matherson was in the bathroom, barely paying attention, casually scrolling through his phone while peeing blissfully unaware that it would be the last time he ever saw his family alive.

In the living room, his parents and two younger sisters were chatting, enjoying the warmth of a peaceful evening. Then came the knock.

A group of masked men stormed in cold, calculated, merciless. They weren't burglars. They were assassins.

They demanded one thing: a video disc.

Mr. Jayson, fearless as ever, stood his ground. "I can't give it to you," he said, over and over, even as they threatened his life. He knew what that disc contained. And he knew giving it up meant surrendering the truth.

But the assassins didn't care.

First his wife, then his daughters. One by one, they were slaughtered in front of him, and finally, Mr. Jayson himself. When they were done, they burned the house to the ground.

But Matherson survived.

Hidden in the bathroom, frozen in terror, he heard every scream, every gunshot, every moment of silence that followed. And when the fire began to swallow the home that once held all his memories, he escaped into the darkness, alone.

Later that night, when the flames had died down and only ashes remained, Matherson returned to the charred ruins. The smoke still lingered. The pain hung heavy. That's when he found it his father's phone, half-buried in ash, ringing.

He picked it up.

Silence. Then a voice.

"I know you're alive, Matherson. I'm coming for you."

Click.

No name. No trace. Just the promise of death.

Matherson ran. He fled the city, disappearing into the shadows of downtown where no one knew his name, where the past couldn't reach him.

Five Years Later

The boy they thought had died that night was no longer a boy.

Matherson had changed. Hardened. Sharpened by pain, fueled by loss, and driven by a single purpose revenge.

The time had come to finish what they started.

And this time, he wouldn't run.

18+, strong mature, and sexual content. Sneak peek: "W-what are you doing?" I asked, my breathing getting heavier as his warm fingers inched towards my bikini bottom. "You called me a coward earlier, remember?" He asked, his other hand wrapped around my throat and lips torturingly brushing over mine "So let's see how much you can handle if I break the boundaries." "I haven't said anything wrong," I breathed out, the collision of the heat of our bodies made the wetness between my thighs build more "Oh really?" He hooked my legs around his waist leaving me surprised I opened my mouth to say something but before any sentence could leave my mouth, sliding past my bikini bottom his fingers were there on my bare clit and the next second they thrust inside the very tight hole of mine leaving me to scream. But everything went silent as he pressed his hot lips upon mine just as I had been wanting since the first day I had ever seen him. **** I always knew the things I felt for Jacob Adriano were wrong in so many ways. He was my dad's best friend, totally out of bounds but I couldn't stop wanting him. And once in the event of my dad's destination wedding, I came across him after years...I lost every one of the boundaries I had and surely I planned to make him lose his ones too. After all Jacob Adriano, the sinfully attractive Italian was not unaware of my obsession with him. But little did know that forbidden relationships always bring havoc and demolition.....
