Humans, it turns out, are intrinsically wired to seek short-term success at the expense of long-term prosperity. Kristian Rönn, an entrepreneur formerly affiliated with the University of Oxford’s Future of Humanity Institute, calls these deeply rooted impulses “Darwinian demons.” These forces, a by-product of natural selection, can lead us to act in shortsighted ways that harm others—and even imperil our survival as a species. If this evolutionary glitch is left unchecked, the consequences will grow in magnitude as the power of technology accelerates.

I lost a bet to my older brother. My evil, life-ruining older brother, and now I can't go on a date for FOUR months. I can't even touch a woman. No hand holding. Forget kissing.

My magic is evolving, unpredictable, and wild. What once exhausted me now flows through my veins like an addiction. Ancient texts whisper of vampires like me. They don't mention the hunger that comes with the power, or that being hunted is my new normal. Silvergate Academy isn't what we thought. The professors track my progress too meticulously. Record every surge of my abilities too carefully. Beneath the academy lies a sanctuary of ancient magic and even older secrets. My family didn't hide me for twenty-one years out of love. They hid me out of fear.

But my power was never meant to be a weapon. It was meant to be a sanctuary. As rival forces converge on what I've become, I realize the true nature of defence isn't about walls or shields or protection spells. It's about deciding who deserves to survive—and who doesn't.
