In the endless wastelands beneath twin moons, the Sunlit Squad reigns as a band of raiders, striking against the oppressive Galactic Order. But on one fateful raid, they uncover something impossible—a baby, cradled in the wreckage of an Order transport. Not just any child. A bio-engineered human, a relic of a species long thought extinct. Raised among outlaws, Adam-101 grows at an unnatural pace—stronger, faster, and more intelligent than any normal being. By five, he is already outpacing grown warriors. By six, he discovers a power within him: the ability to move objects with his mind,and has the ability to sense danger. But in a world where humans were wiped out for being inferior, what does that make Adam? A survivor? A weapon? A mistake? Can he control the madness that spawns from his Bio-Engineered nature?

The Campus Detective: The Case of the Professor's Experiment

Narey was a seasoned female detective with years of experience in the National Intelligence Agency. She had been entrusted with some of the most complex cases involving national and international crimes. Everyone in the agency knew she was their pride—a brilliant operative who had cracked several high-profile cases through collaborations with foreign intelligence agencies. Her reputation had grown to legendary status in global intelligence circles. But after more than a decade of service, Narey stepped away from the agency. She became a private investigator. It wasn’t by choice—her personal life was falling apart. At 28, just two years ago, her elderly mother passed away, and her father’s health began to decline rapidly. They came from humble beginnings. Narey hadn’t earned her position through connections or privilege—it was her intelligence that set her apart. After her mother’s death, she became the sole caregiver for her ailing father. Her only sibling, a younger sister, had married and had a daughter. Tragically, her sister died—allegedly by suicide—after nine years of marriage. Her daughter, just seven years old at the time, was left behind. But Narey suspected it wasn’t suicide. Her brother-in-law remarried exactly one week after the funeral and handed the child over to Narey—who was still an active intelligence officer at the time. The timing, the behavior, everything felt wrong. Narey was furious and wanted to investigate, but she was overwhelmed—juggling her father’s care, raising her niece, and earning a living as a private detective. Then, a national crisis erupted. Students started disappearing—many of them activists, leaders of mass protests against the new regime and the sweeping legislative changes that came with it. Prestigious universities across the country were affected, but Grovement University stood out. It had the highest number of missing students and had been one of the loudest voices against the government. That’s where the investigation had to begin. The National Intelligence Agency couldn’t sit still. This was their jurisdiction. But no one in the agency had the experience—or the instincts—needed to crack a case like this. Everyone agreed: Narey was the one person who could do it. No other agent could even come close. The Director of the Agency called her in personally. The mission: go undercover as a student. At first, Narey refused. A long-term undercover mission wasn’t something she could commit to. Not with a child depending on her. But the agency pressed on. To the Director, she was their only hope—and she would be allowed to choose her own team. Her cover? A university freshman. It was a new kind of challenge—blending in with students nearly a decade younger. But for Narey, challenges had always been her element.
