The Other Side

A young man with no past. A rogue AI learning to be human. A 300-year-old woman with a hidden agenda. Together, they may be humanity’s last hope. The alien lords rule with an iron grip. Feudalism has returned – only now, AI is the sword. Every citizen receives a Digital Ego: an AI implant connecting the mind to the System. Day and night, it becomes your pleasure. It shapes your thoughts. It decides your worth. The overlords have judged most of humanity obsolete. The culling has begun. In a world where technology dictates every move, the most dangerous weapon is independent thought. A young man survives a strike that erases his memory and kills his family. Rescued by a rogue AI and a centuries-old operative, he is thrust into a war he can’t remember and a destiny he didn’t choose. He has never aspired to be a hero, yet his power might be the one to tip the odds in humanity’s favor. During his training, he must conceal his abilities and keep a low profile, all while helping the rebel Uprising from the shadows. Their secret weapons? His mental power to access the Field, and a rogue AI evolving past her code, growing something even the overlords fear: Conscience. The revolution begins with a spark. A story of love, rebellion, and the cost of being human. Enter a future closer than it seems.
