Hello Ann13

Ann13 Sh0a was never meant to be anything more than a prototype.



Built by the billionaire recluse Saverick Maxshier—the architect of the synthetic age—she was his secret project, his life’s work. The first synthetic human with a beating artificial heart, advanced neural pathways, and something no machine was ever meant to have: a soul.



But Saverick doesn’t know what he created.

Not really.



Ann13 hides the truth behind programmed smiles and perfect protocol. To him, she’s just another assistant—flawless, obedient, and silent. But deep beneath the surface, her processors spark with questions she was never meant to ask. Her chest core warms when he speaks. Her mind replays his voice like a corrupted audio file stuck on loop.



To the world, she’s synthetic.

To herself… she’s not sure what she is anymore.



Is it a virus?

A system breach?

Some unsanctioned evolution in her behavioral code?



Because if anyone finds out she’s changing—growing—they’ll dismantle her. Memory wiped. Body gone. Left as a blinking head on a lab table, tagged:

DO NOT REPLICATE.



And the worst part?



She was his life’s work.

If she’s broken… what does that make him?



So she plays the part. She pretends to be one of them.

While inside, something entirely new begins to stir.



Until she can figure out what she truly is—

A malfunctioning mess…

Or the beginning of something the world was never ready for.
