Perfect Ten
Long hidden in the uncharted Deshar Galaxy, the planet Enivia is kept under a strict, government-mandated media blackout. Only Vibane Corp has access to the world, and no one knows why. Giddeon, a hardened survivor from the ruins of Earth One, believes his brother's disappearance is linked to this forbidden star. Desperate for answers, he signs up for a covert corporate mission, armed only with Vibane's top-of-the-line neural chip: AIGES. But Enivia is not just a corporate resource. It is a lethal, surreal world operating under a bizarre set of laws. Giddeon soon realizes why his team consists entirely of top-tier gamers, and why the government is desperate to keep the planet a secret. Making matters worse, his neural chip is broken. AIGES firmly believes it is not a program, but an immortal Enivian entity stuck inside his brain. Trapped between a ruthless corporation, deadly galactic secrets, and a sarcastic, potentially delusional AI, Giddeon must navigate a world determined to kill him. Peril, intrigue, and forbidden romance await on Enivia—a place that should never have been found. What You Can Expect: - Free cookies (and brutal PvP). *Disclaimer: Cookies are not legally binding.* - A gritty Earth One MC dealing with pampered softies from Earth Two. - A snarky AI gaslighting the MC into galactic delusions. - A sci-fi drop into a fantasy world where technology is actively suppressed. - Deep, logical worldbuilding with working parts that actually matter. No Harem: *Sexual comedic scenes occur What You Should Not Expect: - An invincible MC with flawless plot armor. Giddeon bleeds. - Constant, page-stretching stat blocks. They exist, but integrate smoothly into the story. - Sanity from the author. It is 3 AM, the coffee is gone, and the plot bunnies have taken over.
