Glitch Protocols

Welcome to Neo-Luma. The City Owns Your Mind.
Neo-Luma never sleeps, and neither does NovaCorp—an empire that sells cybernetic upgrades by day and rewrites human thought by night. Through the Omnilink implant network, CEO Victor Kane is one update away from turning the entire population into programmable assets. Most people don’t know. Most people don’t want to know. Alex Vega doesn’t have that luxury.

A Ghost in the Machine with a Past He Can’t Escape
Alex Vega is a former NovaCorp prodigy turned underground hacker, hiding in the shadows of the Lower Sector. When he stumbles onto classified Omnilink files that prove NovaCorp can edit memories, rewrite emotions, and overwrite free will, he becomes the one thing the corporation fears most: a loose end with the keys to their god-mode. And NovaCorp has its own monster to send after him.

A Rebellion Held Together by Secrets and Static
Pulled into an insurgent cell led by the fearless Kira Ryker, Vega joins a small band of rebels determined to drag the truth into the light. Together with sniper Rhea, tech wizard Dex, and a network of underground resistance cells, they launch a desperate plan to hijack the city’s feeds and expose Omnilink before the next mass update locks every citizen into permanent obedience.

A Villain Who Designs the War as He Fights It
Victor Kane doesn’t just rule Neo-Luma; he architects the battlefield. As the rebels strike at NovaCorp’s data centers and broadcast spires, Kane turns each attack into research, studying their tactics, their weaknesses, and Vega himself. Silas Vex—the glitching enforcer rebuilt from the edge of death—is unleashed as his hunting dog, and every confrontation leaves more bodies, more fractures, and more questions about who is really pulling the strings.

When Your Own Mind Might Be Compromised
Vega’s greatest asset is also his greatest threat. Buried code and backup protocols from his NovaCorp days are still hidden in his neural implant, waiting to activate. As he taps into forbidden tech and unlocks the Echo Protocol, he risks becoming the very weapon Kane designed—a living backdoor into the rebellion. If he loses control, Kane doesn’t need to crush the resistance. He can turn their symbol into their executioner.

For Fans of Gritty, High-Stakes Cyberpunk
Glitch Protocols is packed with neon-drenched streets, brutal enforcers, elite towers, underground safehouses, and mind-bending neural warfare. It blends cinematic action with psychological tension, moral gray zones, and characters who bleed, break, and keep fighting anyway. This is for readers who love resistance stories where the line between human and machine—and hero and weapon—gets dangerously thin.

Book One of the Neo-Luma Rebellion
This is just the opening volley. As Project Deity looms and Neo-Luma teeters between awakening and annihilation, Vega and the rebels must decide how much of themselves they are willing to sacrifice to break a god. The glitches in the system are growing—and they might be the only way to bring the whole thing down.
