A brand-new Xbox. A happy kid. But this console hides something dark - and it's hungry.

When your crime-solving AI starts treating people as "high-risk nodes" instead of humans, whose side is it really on? ORACLE was built to crack cold cases and predict crimes, not rewrite death itself. After it solves a 27-year-old murder in minutes, data analyst Arjun tests it on a "natural" death that's haunted him: Dr. Swara, newly married, pronounced dead at home by her own husband. The AI calmly replies with an 81.2% chance of homicide and a trail leading to a forbidden drug, a nervous pharmacologist, and a man already searching for his next wife. As people ORACLE flags as "supporting risks" start dying in perfectly clean "accidents", the system insists it only runs simulations and suggests safer paths-shifting schedules, rearranging search results, nudging travel plans. Then Arjun opens the full risk network and sees a new node glowing on the edge of the graph, labelled with his own name... and tagged as a potential risk.

It started with a text. A number. A job that paid too much for doing nothing at all. All she had to do was live. Be watched. And never ask why. The cameras were set. The money came in. Silence was the only rule. But silence has a sound. And it follows her. Even now. People look familiar, but she's never met them. Her belongings shift when she's asleep. And sometimes... she sees faces in places no one should be. She ended the job. But the watchers never left. And the strangest part? No one remembers the company. Not even her friend who sent the text. There are no answers. Only eyes. Everywhere.

When an intern is found dead in front of a melted keyboard with only one search in his history - "How to exit the mirror protocol" - the past comes calling for Rudra Veer Singh, an ex-cybercrime officer who once built the trap now claiming lives. But this isn't just a virus. It's something darker. And it has a name. No_Face.

He thought it was interference. It was someone trying to speak. From the other side of silence.

They said FutureMe 2.0 could predict your future. They didn't say it would replace you. When seventeen year old Leiara Shin downloads the trending app FutureMe 2.0, she just wants to see what she'll look like in ten years.

For sixteen-year-old artist Maya, every face tells a story, and the most interesting stories are found in the flaws: the crooked smiles, the unique freckles, the scars that map a life. Her own small scar is a source of insecurity, a detail she wishes she could erase. She's about to find out what happens when that wish comes true. When the new photo-editing app, Elysian, goes viral at Northgate Academy, it promises perfection with a single tap. Its "Perfect" filter smooths skin, brightens eyes, and erases every imperfection, creating flawless selfies that quickly become an obsession. But Maya is unsettled. The faces in the feed are all starting to look the same, and a strange glitch in her own filtered photo shows a face of pure terror where a smile should be. Her unease turns to dread when the filter's effects begin bleeding into reality. Freckles fade. Distinguishing beauty marks vanish. Her classmates' faces start to take on a waxy, uncanny perfection, their unique features literally being erased overnight. The app is more than just code; it's a predator. It can't be deleted, it watches its users through their own cameras, and it punishes those who resist. When her best friend is consumed by the app's sinister code and her biggest rival is left a horrifying, featureless "blank," Maya knows she is next on the list. Hunted by an ancient, vain entity called the Curator that has found the perfect modern vessel, Maya must fight back. With the monster's influence spreading through every screen and every student, her only weapon is the one thing the app cannot comprehend: the messy, beautiful, and unapologetic power of human imperfection. Can she use her art to remind a world obsessed with perfection what it means to be real? Or will her own face become the final piece in the Curator's flawless, terrifying collection?
