The Zero Sum

Emmanuel_Ogunsanwo
Zeph Vane and Kaelen Thorne were closer than blood. In the unforgiving slums of the Lower City, they were a perfect team: Zeph was the chaotic, charming loudmouth who could talk his way out of hell, and Kaelen was the ruthless tactician who kept them alive. ​They swore they would always have each other's backs. ​One heist changed everything. ​When a job to steal a military prototype goes wrong, Zeph is infected by The Omega Cortex—a god-tier Artificial Intelligence. Overnight, the world's biggest slacker is gifted with absolute logic, combat perfection, and the ability to calculate the future. ​Kaelen, feeling obsolete and consumed by a dark jealousy, seeks his own path to power. He stares into the abyss, and the abyss stares back. He bonds with The Void—a corrupting force of shadow, gravity, and reality-warping chaos.​As they rise from street rats to god-like entities, their brotherhood begins to rot. ​
