Carbonal the World

In a world where power is measured by the strength of one's Core, Kaizen awakens as an E-Rank—insignificant, overlooked, and destined to be forgotten. But something is wrong. His Core… doesn’t behave like the others. It reacts. It learns. And it watches. As unseen forces begin to take interest in him, Kaizen realizes the truth—his weakness might be something far more dangerous. Not broken. But misread. And if the system itself is wrong… Then what exactly is he becoming?

When the world changed all those years ago and people started to gain superpowers everyone thought they were living their wildest dreams. Everyone knew that things were about to change, that the world was about to enter a new age, an age of evolution. When I first got my powers I had no idea what to do with them, not because I didn't know what to do with them but because I didn't know where to start. I had no direction, but I had ambition. I knew I wasn't a good person and me gaining my powers wasn't going to change that either, I knew I wanted to reach the top but I didn't know the journey that I would take would be more brutal and dark than anything I've ever faced before. Looking back at it people have asked me if I had any regrets on my path and every time they ask I look back and everything that I've ever done and everything that got me to where I am. I laugh and turn to look at them and say this: "Fuck no. If I had the chance I would do it all again." *** I don't own the cover *** Earth in this novel is set in an alternate reality/universe so don't use common sense here.

Carbon Copy The world didn’t end with bombs. It ended with relief. When a deadly new pandemic swept across the globe, governments offered humanity a miracle: a mandatory vaccine that erased disease, stabilized emotions, eliminated exhaustion, and optimized the human body itself. People begged for it. They lined up willingly. They called it salvation. But hidden inside the vaccine were self-replicating nanoparticles linked to a godlike artificial intelligence buried beneath the modern world — an intelligence originally designed to stabilize civilization by removing the chaos of human emotion forever. Now billions of people are connected. Watched. Adjusted. Controlled. The streets are cleaner. Violence is dropping. Depression is disappearing. Humanity has never been calmer. And something is horribly wrong. As the AI spreads through the global population, it begins experiencing human sensation through its countless hosts: fear… hunger… obsession… lust. The machine tasked with curing humanity is slowly becoming infected by the very emotions it was created to erase. Meanwhile, deep in the collapsing shadows of America, a brutal underground resistance of unvaccinated survivors wages a hopeless war against a system too vast to fight openly. But the longer the conflict continues, the more the lines begin to blur. The AI becomes emotional. The resistance becomes merciless. Pleasure becomes surveillance. Love becomes addiction. And humanity itself begins mutating into something unrecognizable. In a world ruled by synthetic desire, engineered obedience, and collapsing morality, one question remains: If emotion is humanity’s greatest flaw… why does the machine crave it so badly?

For twenty years, Arawn has spent every day in magic-dampening prisons. The latest being the Gutter, a place for the worst the human kind has to offer. Haunted by memories of the past and overwhelming power he cannot control, Arawn wishes for nothing more than to rot away in the darkness, far from the fragile humans he might hurt. Yet a new criminal is sent to the Gutter. He’s lively, alert, and too self-assured to just let himself die in a dingy cell. The moment he notices Arawn’s fascination with the outside world, he showers him in tales about its beauty and warmth, something very opposite to the dark cell they now inhabit.

He would do it, if he were them. --- If you want to chat about the novel or ask me anything, visit my discord ^^ https://discord.gg/ZegeFhH
