The Bitter Truth about Me and the Enemy

By: Order, Balvon

Malik Ochieng was trained to obey.
Conditioned to survive.
Designed to forget.

He escaped once - believing the nightmare was over.

He was wrong.

Hidden beneath the world lies Ascension, a secret program where children are turned into experiments and artificial intelligence decides who deserves to evolve. When Malik is forced back into the system that shaped him, he discovers a truth more dangerous than any machine:

The enemy didn't just try to control him.
It helped create him.

As buried memories surface and loyalties fracture, Malik must fight through psychological trials, impossible choices, and a past engineered to break him. Alongside allies who are just as scarred - and just as determined - he faces a question that will define everything:

Is freedom worth the cost of truth?

Dark, emotional, and intensely gripping, The Bitter Truth About Me and the Enemy is a sci-fi thriller about identity, control, and the power of choice in a world built to take it away.

Perfect for readers who enjoy:

Dark dystopian sci-fi

Emotional, character-driven stories

Stories about resilience, survival, and humanity

Once you enter Ascension, nothing about freedom is simple - and the truth may be the greatest enemy of all.
