In a world ruled by the Code, strength is not trained, it is written.

From the moment a child is born, glowing symbols appear on their palms. Those marks decide everything. How fast they can move, how strong they can become, what weapons they can wield and what kind of magic they are allowed to touch. Most people spend their lives trying to level up their Code. Some train in military camps, others survive on the streets but no one can change the Code they are born with.

Except him.

He was born to two of the most powerful officials in the government, yet his Code registered as weak, almost useless. The kind of Code that guaranteed a short, meaningless life. The government called it defective, something that should not exist.

They came for him before he could even learn to walk.

His father stood and fought, giving his life. His mother ran, carrying him through the chaos and the bullets. When they got too close, she left him at a quiet orphanage and vanished without a trace, using a decoy to keep the hunters off his trail.

He grew up with nothing. No name, no family, no future. Just that same weak Code. People mocked him, pitied him and wrote him off.

But they were all wrong.

He cannot just see the Code, he can see it, touch it, REWRITE it.

Now the ones who once chased him want to own him, the syndicates want to use him, the Code Priests want to erase him but he has other plans.

Because if the Code makes gods, then he will rewrite what it means to be one.

This is a brief overview of the World Map for this book


"In the Beginning, There Was Only the Code."


In the distant future, after the collapse, humanity rebuilt civilization using fragments of ancient magic and hyper-advanced technology. The new world is divided, militarized, and governed by a mysterious system embedded into reality itself: THECODE


The planet is called Veyra — the third of seven habitable planets in the Codian Spiral. All planets share one law:- The Code decides all.


From the moment you're born, a code appears along your palm. It pulses when you're awake, sleeps when you're dead and upgrades as you grow... if you're lucky.


The Code is like a system with interface and everyone has one.


Some believe the Code is divine. Others think it's a man-made virus from the old world. But no one argues this:- Those who cannot control it, dies.


Magic is the Code and the Code is everything.


Every human has one of five primary Code Roots. Think of them like bloodlines, not everyone's equal.


1. Pyrostring – Fire-based kinetic magic. Used by frontline shock troops and siege mages.


2. Chronoweave – Time-threading. Slows enemies, speeds the caster. Illegal in most planets except Noctiris.


3. Hexmachina – Magic-mechanical. Interface with mechs, drones, AI-tech through raw Code. Used by military hackers.


4. Voidscript – Anti-magic. Disrupts, cancels, nullifies. It's rare and it's feared.


5. Soulcipher – Raw mental and spiritual attacks. Think illusions, corruption, emotional hacking. Assassin-grade stuff.


Each Root can only grow if the user's Code Tier rises.


Everyone has a Code and must follow its rules.


The world is ruled by the Codex Assembly — twelve High Judges stationed across different planets. They act as both supreme court and global rulers.


Each planet has a Local Directive led by a Governor Prime — usually a Tier-3 or Tier-4 Code wielder approved by the Assembly.


There are three global military groups:


1. C.A.I.N. — Codex Authority & Interplanetary Neutralizers. The official army. Obsessed with Code purity.


2. The Sunderclads — Rogue mecha-magicians. Pirates, smugglers, exiled coders. Their tech is unstable but brutal.


3. Blackscript Order — Secretive cult. Believes the Code is alive and must be worshipped. Known for kidnapping kids with rare Roots.


Local forces exist too: city enforcers, bounty hunters, arena fighters, and Reclaimers — people who steal Code Fragments from the dead.


Veyra — Corporate-ruled, tech-drenched hellhole.


Noctiris — Black market heaven. Time-based magic is legal here.


Solkara — Military capital of the Codex Assembly.


Grithor — In ruins. Site of the first Code War.


Lumaya — Religious center. Home of the Blackscript.


Zarvex — Controlled by rogue clans. No laws, no mercy.


Deyrun — Frozen wasteland. Prison planet.
