Best Friend

The sky cracked, gravity started charging rent, and Dax Calloway woke up in the wreckage of his own city with a class nobody wants: Attrition Tank, a build that gets stronger only after it nearly dies. Six months later, survival isn't measured in food or fuel — it's measured in a number stamped over every living head, and the man sitting at #1 on that number is Marcus Reyes, the soldier Dax bled to keep alive in two different wars. Marcus doesn't purge the weak because the System told him to. He does it because he's convinced it's mercy. And Dax — still just trying to keep people breathing — is now the highest-profile liability on his old friend's ledger. To save what's left of his people, Dax has to climb a leaderboard he never wanted to be on, fast enough to reach the man at the top before the man at the top decides to erase him. But the deeper Dax fights into the Grid, the clearer it becomes: the Leaderboard was never the game. It's a harvest list — and the countdown is almost at zero.

The man she loves carries the same curse, and now, he’s been sentenced to death. She vows to bring down the Federation, even if it means tearing apart the fragile remnants of society. The world after the outbreak is a battlefield, and in a war where survival isn’t guaranteed, Amelia will stop at nothing to crush the Federation before it crushes her and the others like her. But victory comes with a price, and the deeper Amelia dives into this twisted conspiracy, the more the lines between friend and foe blur. Will she bring about a new dawn—or plunge the world into even darker chaos?
