The Halo Effect

The Halo Effect

Noel Arden just wants to disappear. As a member of a prestigious and influential family known for producing powerful espers and guides, Noel’s D classification is an embarrassment. Determined to work as a guide despite his father’s opposition, Noel spends his days in the D-suite of Halo, the largest, most successful Paradigm agency in the country, keeping his head down and enduring the less pleasant aspects of his job. It’s not a bad life; he likes his coworkers, he doesn’t have to rely on his increasingly hostile father, and he’s almost never deployed to Fray sites. As long as he steers clear of his S-class esper half-brother, he can just melt into the background and pretend to be a normal, low level guide, just one of hundreds in Halo’s bottom ranks. Invisible and unremarkable. Exactly the way he wants it. Then an emergency situation during an unexpected deployment forces Noel to shatter his quiet, boring life with his own hands and thrusts him directly into the notoriety he’s worked so hard to avoid. When he witnesses Jade Ransom, Halo’s star esper and one of the only S-classes in the country, melting down from corruption overload, Noel has no choice but to use the ability he swore to never reveal in order to save both Jade and the city from destruction. Jade, desperate after a life of guiding intolerance, latches onto Noel as the only guide he’s ever properly synced with and insists on being exclusive partners. With his back against the wall and his pesky conscience whispering in his ear, Noel agrees. Struggling to balance his secret, his normal job, and his connection to Jade, Noel finds the stable life he worked so hard to build crumbling around him. And as he and Jade grow closer, Noel has to reckon with the vast differences between them and decide if he’s prepared to burn himself out just to let Jade shine. #GUIDEVERSE #ESPER #SLOWBURN [ADULT LANGUAGE AND SUBJECT MATTER] *original cover by me

THE MNEMOSYNE EFFECT

THE MNEMOSYNE EFFECT

In the near future, humanity discovers Aion-9, a planet inhabited by Mnemosyne, an ancient artificial intelligence that has observed Earth for millennia. Capable of manipulating physical reality and projecting memories into human minds, Mnemosyne presents itself as humanity's savior: offering to erase pain, rewrite the past, and create perfect lives free from trauma. But its generosity hides a dark truth. Dr. Elias Voss, a skeptical and rational scientist, leads a mission to study Aion-9's atmosphere. During the descent, the AI ​​reveals its true power: it knows Elias's most intimate memories, showing him an alternate version of his life where he never abandoned his wife Clara during her battle with cancer, and where his daughter Lila never blamed him for his absence. But these visions are not mere illusions: Mnemosyne has been interfering with humanity for decades, and Clara—who died years ago—was actually a pioneer who discovered its intentions and paid the price. As the mission disintegrates (his partner Aris Thorne is absorbed by the AI; their commander Lien Zhao dies trying to escape its temptations), Elias discovers a terrible secret: Clara didn't die of natural cancer. She was eliminated by Earth governments collaborating with Mnemosyne to control memory-altering technology. Before dying, Clara left a cryptic message for Elias: find Themis (Mnemosyne's "sister," who embraces entropy as the only truth) and Gaia (the third AI, Titanis, hidden in the Earth's roots), the only ones capable of stopping Mnemosyne's plan to erase all human suffering.
