Socket

In a hyper-accelerated future where virtual realms eclipse reality, 16-year-old Socket Greeny navigates a life dominated by energy drinks and the thrill of underground fights. Burdened by a mother whose professional secrets shroud their home in silence, Socket’s world shatters when he unwittingly taps into a hidden ability to hear thoughts and manipulate time. His mundane existence flips into chaos as he's thrust into the enigmatic Paladin Agency—a covert society of evolved humans suffering from immense power and an elitist disdain for the rest of humanity. As Socket grapples with his newfound abilities and the responsibilities they entail, he finds himself clashing against an ancient struggle between the Paladins' ambitions and the fate of humankind. With the volatile world at a tipping point, can he rally the strength to embrace his extraordinary gifts, or will the weight of expectation crush him? Join Socket as he unravels the mysteries of his lineage, the secrets of the Paladins, and battles against time itself, where every choice could alter the course of history. The journey into the heart of Socket continues, but the stakes have never been higher—will he rise as a savior or fall victim to the very powers that define him?
