Cyberside: Second Simulation

WELCOME TO THE CYBERSIDE.

The body is obsolete. Memory is currency. And reality can be rewritten.

James Reynolds was one of the engineers who built the Cyberside—a vast digital refuge created after the collapse of the physical world. Now he lives off-grid as a Taciturn, a hired gun with no identity, no allegiance, and no past he’s willing to revisit.

Sent to a dying frontier town to eliminate a dangerous digital predator, James expects a routine kill. What he finds is Matilda—a Scry who doesn’t behave like any he’s hunted before, and who knows far too much about the world he helped create.

As systems fail and disappearances mount, James and Matilda are drawn into a deeper conspiracy—one that traces back to Fall Water Lake, the origin point of the Cyberside itself.

Cyberside: Second Simulation is a sharp, character-driven cyberpunk thriller from two veteran narrative designers.

For readers who remember their dreams in code.

Cyberside: Level Zero

Cyberside: Level Zero unravels the extraordinary rise of Fall Water Lake, a once-small game studio that quietly evolves into a global tech empire—one that reshapes reality in ways no one could have predicted.

Told across four defining eras, the story follows James Reynolds, an ambitious engineer whose steady climb through the company exposes a chilling truth: the game he’s helping to build isn’t just a game. It’s a blueprint for something far bigger—and far more dangerous.

Blending speculative fiction with unsettling real-world parallels, Level Zero is a pulse-pounding exploration of corporate power, artificial intelligence, and the thin, treacherous line between illusion and control.

As technology tightens its grip, one question looms: Are we shaping the future, or is it shaping us?

The Answer: The Tale of Life

When a young boy meets Life beneath the shade of a tree, he cannot imagine they will ever part — or that finding her again will demand the destruction of the man he has become.

From the outside, his decision to pursue a high-pressured career seemed right. Noticed by the world, he’s been rewarded with wealth and power. But inside, he can feel the light fading. He was born to be a storyteller; instead, he has become a fiction. 

Only in his darkest hour does he see the truth: die slowly beside a bottle or dare to rediscover his path.

The hero’s journey will not be easy. The quest will bring him to the foot of impenetrable mountains, beneath the shadow of foreboding towers, and into the gilded halls of temptation. He will battle his deepest fears and encounter gods, monsters, and death.

Yet supported by an unseen ally who never left his side, and the strength of his past and future selves, this mere mortal may just succeed where others fail and claim the destiny he almost denied.

The Answer is a mythic allegorical saga of self-confrontation, choice and transformation. The question is whether you too will answer the call.
