Bastard’s Dominion

In the glittering shadows of a corporate empire, Evan Cole was the invisible son—the bastard heir hidden behind lies, scars, and silence. The Cole family built their fortune on secrets and blood, and Evan was just another loose end to tie up. At the annual gala, his father Victor raises a toast to "family." The champagne tastes like death. Poisoned. Betrayed. Heart stopped in a marble bathroom stall. Evan dies alone, twenty-three years of being the ghost finally over. But death has other plans. [Foreign neural interface detected.] [Nano-Intelligence Protocol initiating.] [Host condition: Terminal.] [Emergency authorization: EVAN_COLE_001.] NEXUS awakens in his veins—a self-evolving nano-system buried deep in his blood, forged in shadows the Coles never knew existed. It repairs his shattered heart, sharpens his senses to razor edges, floods his body with unnatural strength, and whispers one cold directive: Survival. Then Dominance. The family that tried to erase him now faces a predator they created. Julian’s smirk turns to terror. Victor’s empire starts to crack. Nora Thorne, the rival with eyes like slate and secrets darker than his own, watches from the sidelines—ally or hunter? Evan is no longer the discarded heir. He’s the glitch in their perfect system. Every upgrade costs something. Every kill feeds the machine inside him. And as the hunger grows, so does the question: Is he still human… or has the family finally birthed the monster they feared? In a world of chrome, betrayal, and corporate gods, one man will burn it all down. From the fighting pits to the penthouse thrones—revenge isn’t personal. It’s evolution.
