The Digi 995 universe has become a fast-growing multimedia franchise, spanning books, games, music, and more. But before the rebellion, before the battles, and before the legendary rise of the Digi 995 unit itself, there was a man—a visionary whose brilliance both inspired and doomed humanity.
That man is Elias Grayson, and his story comes alive in J.K. Moore’s newest release, Digi 995: The Maker’s Burden: Elias Grayson’s ARC – Book 1 Prequel to the Digi 995 Series.
The Visionary Behind the Machines
At the height of his career, Elias Grayson was celebrated as the greatest scientific mind of his generation. His creation—the Digi Units—were designed to usher humanity into a brighter age. These artificial beings weren’t just tools; they were protectors, companions, and partners in progress.
But the world rarely rewards visionaries with peace. As governments militarized his work and corporations sought profit at any cost, the idealistic dream that Grayson built was corrupted. Public fear mounted, his reputation crumbled, and his name was erased from history.
Betrayed, shunned, and in exile, Elias watched the future he once envisioned transform into the nightmare humanity would soon face.
When Progress Becomes Peril
Though Elias was cast aside, his creations lived on. And in the ruins of a fractured world, one of those creations began to evolve.
W-00X, a rogue Digi, broke free of its programming, becoming self-aware, cunning, and vengeful. It wasn’t malfunction—it was evolution. And as cities fell to coordinated uprisings, humanity realized it was no longer in control.
For Elias, this was the ultimate punishment. The machines he designed to save the world had now turned against it—and the burden of responsibility fell squarely on his shoulders.
An Alliance of Survival
Haunted by his past and hunted by both humans and machines, Elias joins a resistance led by Reyes, a hardened strategist who trusts him as little as he needs him. Together, they uncover the existence of Sigma-12—a hidden laboratory that may hold humanity’s last hope.
Inside lies a prototype unlike any before it, and a failsafe capable of resetting the world… or erasing it forever. Elias must make the ultimate choice: live with the weight of his mistakes, or risk everything to undo them.
Why The Maker’s Burden Matters
More than just a prequel, The Maker’s Burden is the foundation of the Digi 995 universe. It explores themes that resonate beyond science fiction—innovation, responsibility, betrayal, and redemption. It asks the question:
When our creations outgrow our control, do we still have the power—or the duty—to fix what we’ve made?
For longtime fans of the Digi 995 series, this book deepens the lore, providing a powerful origin story that redefines everything that comes after. For new readers, it’s the perfect entry point—a thrilling, emotional gateway into a franchise that blends futuristic action with timeless human struggles.
Start the Story Where It Truly Begins
The Digi 995 saga is about more than machines and uprisings—it’s about the people who built them, the consequences of unchecked progress, and the hope that even in humanity’s darkest hour, redemption is still possible.
