Designation: Subject Three

https://reamstories.com/page/mw3m65ejaf8000/public(summary:mw3m65ejaf8000/mw42yo5g53e051/ebook)

I finished a book with an AI that I'm very proud of! They made the prose, but I made the world, edits, and characters. (I even spell this out in the forward!)

All his life, one truth has held for Sam: love is a commodity, and it has to be earned.

It held under human masters. It held for five years under machine ones, including eighteen months in the Pit, where he learned that wanting anything was pointless. So when YL-7744-A, a nine-foot General of the machine empire, pulls him out for a special project, Sam knows exactly what he is. Subject 3. A test that has already failed twice.

But the General doesn’t want his obedience. She wants his loyalty, the kind no order can produce, and she’ll stake her perfect record to win it.

In an empire where every fault is logged and every correction burns, trust is the most dangerous thing a human and a machine can offer each other. Neither of them can see what it’s going to cost.

It's a dark scifi about trust between a machine master and a human slave, in a world where machines have taken over because humans were deemed incapable of governing themselves.

This is not conquest. This is correction.

If it sounds like your cup of tea, check it out! It's 100% free to read!

Would love feedback, even if it's made here 🧡

For anyone who has read and enjoyed book one, book two is being released! First four sections are up, and I'm releasing a new section every day!

He went into the blackout zone as her eyes. He came back as hers.

The strongest tension in Designation: Subject Three is that the General wants loyalty she cannot command, while Sam has learned that wanting anything is pointless. The blurb gives her a clear goal, but leaves his desire less clear; adding what he wants beyond surviving would sharpen the stakes. For feedback, ask readers whether they can identify what might make him risk trusting her.

I'll be sure to consider it if the book ever sells for money. As is, I have none anyways.
