48 Hours A Day

For three long years, Leo Sterling lived a nightmare. He slept only four hours a night, worked three exhausting delivery jobs, and starved himself just to fund his girlfriend Chloe’s luxury college life. He thought she loved him. But on their anniversary, he walked into the city’s most expensive restaurant soaking wet, carrying a cheap silver promise ring, only to find Chloe sitting on the lap of Julian Vance, a wealthy real estate billionaire. They did not just break his heart, they destroyed his dignity. Chloe mocked his poverty and threw his hard-earned ring into a boiling bowl of soup. Julian ordered his brutal thugs to drag Leo into a dark, freezing alley to break his bones and leave him for dead in the mud. But as the freezing rain washed away his blood, the extreme trauma cracked a thick wall in Leo’s mind, shattering a five-year case of amnesia. He is not a penniless orphan. He is not a useless delivery driver. He is the Supreme Sovereign of the Dragon Vanguard, the most powerful military and financial ruler in the nation, commanding millions of elite troops and controlling half the country’s wealth. Now, the king has awakened. Twelve identical luxury sedans are roaring into the dark alley, and the elite military commanders are kneeling in the dirt before a broken delivery boy. Leo is back, but he does not want quick revenge. He wants to watch Chloe and Julian climb to the absolute peak of their greedy dreams before he pulls the rug and makes them drop into pure despair. When the grand gala arrives and the spotlight locks onto the poor delivery boy, the entire high society will tremble.

After being in a coma for more than a year, Zavier Rockwell, finally felt like he had gotten his release. As he floated as a ghost, he regretted his actions. Being ungrateful to the family that wanted nothing more than seeing him succeed. Clouded by his illegitimate status, Zavier Rockwell wanted nothing more than soar higher, take his oldest birthright and stand tall among others. But how could he succeed when his fate was already written before his very birth? Zavier Rockwell lack of business acumen made him fail miserably which resulted in him getting a sentence of life, destined to spend the rest of his life behind the four corners of a prison. But that wasn’t what the book of destiny decreed. All it took was one vengeful spirit and he was comatose for life. With his pathetic life ending, never in a million years did he thought that he would get a second chance. But as they say, man proposes and god disposes. Zavier Rockwell found himself reborn a few months before he officially blackened. This time, he wasn’t just a useless second rich generation kid but he was equipped with a prodigal system. [Ding! Spend 100 million at the targeted location. Reward – an immortal pill. Failure – deduction of 60 hours’ worth of lifespan.] Equipped with such a system, what could Zavier Rockwell who swore that if he ever gets a second chance at life would become a prodigal son and never mess with the family business do? He could only grit his teeth and squander the money that his family was earnestly making and, in the process, found himself capable and prosperous. Why was the script looking so wrong the more money he squanders?

To save his family, he had to stop being human. Twenty-four-year-old Jid has spent his life in the dirt, breathing the rust of the Bulwark slums. As the sole guardian of his younger sister, Sommy, his world is measured in scraps of bread and the hours of backbreaking labor he sells to the powerful guilds. He doesn’t dream of glory; he dreams of a roof that doesn't leak and a meal that doesn't taste like ash. But the world outside the walls is changing. The "Infected" are evolving, and the shadows are growing teeth. When a high-stakes raid into the forbidden zones turns into a bloody execution, Jid is the one left behind. Betrayed and gutted by the monsters in the dark, he should have died in the mud. Instead, something ancient and hungry found him first. Jid wakes up to a world he no longer recognizes. The pain is gone, replaced by a cold, mechanical pulse in his mind and a shimmering gold light in his eyes. A strange, haunting interface now dictates his every move, granting him powers that defy the laws of time and biology—powers that the ruling corporations would kill to own. But the "System" isn't a gift. It’s a tether to an outer-world threat that views humanity as nothing more than ink on a page, ready to be erased. Now, Jid must return to the city that abandoned him, hiding the monster he is becoming while using his new abilities to protect the only person he has left. He survived the death of his old life, but as the hunger grows and the "System" begins to rewrite his soul, Jid realizes the hardest part isn't surviving the dead—it’s surviving the thing he’s turning into. And whatever is coming for him.
