In the sterile silence of the Glass Tower, efficiency is the only religion and noise is a crime. Karthik Varun, a low-level systems analyst for Chimera Corp, dedicates his life to maintaining the city's pristine energy grid. But his world fractures when he detects a "flood"—an unauthorized surge of power routing toward a hidden black site.
Investigating the anomaly, Karthik uncovers a logistics manifest for a bio-mechanical weapons program powered by harvested neural patterns. His discovery triggers an immediate purge. Marked for deletion by the ruthless Chief Auditor, Karthik escapes into the city’s underbelly with nothing but the Swaranga Margam—an ancient manual for a biological operating system. To survive the Company’s hunt, he must decode a legacy of root and bone before Chimera’s new "Resonance Engine" overwrites the chaotic frequency of human instinct forever.

Pavankumar Kota
Pavan Kumar Kota is a Mechanical and Marine Engineer whose professional life revolves around the strict geometry of systems, failure analysis , maintenance , overhauling, checking marine law and audits. With a career spent ensuring compliance and operational integrity on sea-going vessels, he understands the fragile nature of order and the inevitable creep of entropy.
This technical foundation forms the backbone of his fiction. Pavan writes "techno-fables," a sub-genre that fuses the sterile dread of corporate dystopias with the raw vitality of ancient myth. He is interested in the moment where the flowchart breaks—where human instinct defies the algorithm. His work reframes magical tropes through the language of engineering, treating the supernatural not as a violation of physics, but as a systemic override.
The Verdant Legacy is his exploration of this duality, asking what happens when a system designed for perfection encounters the chaotic data of a human soul. When not writing or auditing engine rooms, Pavan explores the intersection of ancient history and future technology.
