Light in the fog #940388

Kharkiv, Ukraine. Twenty-two years have passed since the sky turned to ash and the poisonous White Fog swallowed the surface. The remnants of humanity cling to survival deep underground, in the "Heroes of Labor" metro station. Here, air is filtered, food is rationed, and hope is a dangerous contraband.
Maxim, a child of the underground, has never seen the sun. But when resources dwindle and the station faces extinction, he joins a desperate expedition to the surface—to the forbidden sector of "Academician Pavlov."
What they find in the ruins isn't just death. It is ADIA—an artificial intelligence with a terrifying vision for humanity’s future.
Bound by a forced integration with alien technology, Maxim returns changed. He is no longer just a survivor; he is a weapon, a bridge between the biological and the synthetic. With his DNA rewritten and new, terrifying abilities manifesting daily, Maxim becomes the ultimate threat to the station's tyrannical Council.
Hunted by his own people and haunted by the entities in the Fog, Maxim must choose: cling to the humanity that is slipping away, or embrace the monstrous evolution needed to save them all.
