What if you could unlock the deepest secrets of the human mind? What if every word, every gesture, every thought could be shaped and bent to your will?

Jason Cross was once an ordinary man, trapped in a life he didn’t deserve. His family’s fortune stolen, his dreams shattered, he was left with nothing but bitterness and regret. Forced to work a dead-end job, Jason’s life seemed doomed to mediocrity—until a tragic accident changed everything.

Now, Jason has been given a gift. A mysterious system has awakened within him, revealing the hidden language that can influence the mind—Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) at a level beyond human comprehension. With every task completed, Jason unlocks new abilities, gaining the power to manipulate emotions, thoughts, and desires.

But power comes with a price.

Jason's rise to influence is swift. He becomes a master of persuasion, able to seduce anyone, outwit rivals, and build an empire from the ruins of his former life. His enemies fall one by one, their minds broken before they even know what hit them. But as Jason climbs higher, so do the stakes. Rivals from the shadows, powerful enemies, and his own unchecked ambition threaten to consume him.

How far will Jason go to reclaim what is rightfully his? And when the world bends to your will, can you ever trust anyone again?

The Master Programmer

"Mark, you're as charming as ever. Pity it never translates to anything substantial." The jab was subtle but effective, and Mark's grin faltered. Jake was calling him cocky with no balls. It was funny because he was saying that he was impotent. It was even funnier because he was pointing out something Jason knew for a fact. You always want what's mine. You still haven't changed.

The friends turned and spoke to each other for a few moments before they left, going to introduce themselves to the other people in their lives. Jason and Emily stood there, entertaining themselves and sharing conversations. Everyone turned to Jason, watching him and Emily get along like that, and they couldn't help but feel like this couple was pretty impressive.

The evening progressed, the room's atmosphere a blend of pretence and tension. Jason moved through the crowd with ease, introducing Emily to key figures and ignoring the murmurs that followed them.
