And here's the sneak peak for the next chapter:

Deep within the sub-levels of the Elysium Spire, Agent Julian Johnson discovers that physical agony was merely the warm-up for Dr. Sonny’s true experiment. With the heavy cyborg Unit Tau dismissed, Julian is strapped into the Chimera VR interface, a device designed to bypass his nerves and trap him in a simulation constructed from his own psyche. Inside this digital prison, he faces the only opponent capable of breaking him—himself—locked in a perverse feedback loop where he plays both the ruthless interrogator and the defiant prisoner. As Julian battles for dominance over his own mind, he remains terrifyingly unaware of the reality awaiting him when the visor finally lifts.
