Countdown

For ten years, Harrison lived as a tactical analyst, desperately guiding humanity through ninety nine separate timelines to stop the apocalypse. He has tried everything fighting as a frontline warrior, playing the politician, and leading as a commander only to watch the world get utterly erased by a colossal, crystalline world boss known simply as The End. Every single loop concluded the same way: with the total destruction of Montana City and Harrison being violently reeled back to the beginning. But as the final defense line collapses in his ninety ninth life, something changes. His generic, low tier system glitches violently and undergoes a massive overhaul, sending him back five years into the past for his 100th loop and his absolute final attempt. The safety net is gone; if he dies now, there are no more regression. This time, Harrison doesn't awaken with his useless basic stats. Instead, he unlocks a broken, rule bending EX-Rank talent: The Casualty Counter. With golden holographic screens overlaid on his retinas, Harrison can now see the exact time, cause, and probability of death for any living soul around him. ​When the countdown timer blinks a bloody scarlet above Aella Vance a girl destined to become one of humanity's greatest A-Rank defenders Harrison realizes a localized supernatural beast outbreak is about to strike a crowded sector mall in just fourteen minutes. Arming himself only with a hundred lifetimes of tactical data and a system that rewards him with a target's latent power for changing fate, Harrison steps into the crowd. ​The clock is ticking. The world ends in 365 days. To survive the final loop and save Montana City, Harrison must grind, exploit the system, and rewrite the threads of mortality one casualty at a time.

She is Nine. Blade IX of the Nine Abysses. Three hundred years ago Hell erased her name, burned its sigils into her arms, and installed a recitation under her ribs that counts her target's sins until the day she ends him. Her target: Xiao Jin, crown prince of Dalang. Wolf-blooded. Disrespectful. Weighed and found owing. The Moon's blessing makes a wolf prince untouchable to enemy blades. Only his bride can take him: the one who shares his bed and speaks the condemnation in the bridal rite. So Hell sends brides. Two burned before her. Seven was collared and sang for three days. Now Nine walks into the Looking Room wearing a drowned girl's face, meaning to be chosen. He chooses her. Then he laughs at her, a real laugh, the first true thing anyone has given her in three hundred years, and the recitation under her ribs goes silent mid-word. Now she is his chosen bride, one locked door from his bed, with a priest who already knows what she is, a kingdom that believes he murders brides, a Hell that does not forgive failure, and a mission she can no longer remember how to speak. Every chapter ends with something snapping. The only question that matters: which of them breaks first, and into what.

Ethan Moore spent ten years being the perfect husband. He worked sixteen hour shifts so his wife Claire could carry designer bags. He paid off his mother in law's credit card debt four times. He covered his brother in law's DUI lawyers, his daughter's private school tuition, and every vacation, every spa trip, every brunch bill that his family racked up without ever once saying thank you. And when he lay dying in a hospital bed with three cracked ribs and a punctured lung, not one of them held his hand. "I called the insurance company this morning. The payout is $750,000, but with the accidental clause, it bumps to 1.2 million." His wife crossed her legs and scrolled through her phone without looking at him once. "What about the stock options from his company? Those vest on death, don't they?" His mother in law leaned against the doorframe with her arms folded. And then his daughter, the girl he carried on his shoulders at county fairs, the girl he stayed up with during thunderstorms, looked up from her phone and said the words that stopped his heart. "You know he's not even my real dad, right? I just want to know if I still get stuff. I really need a new phone." He woke up three years in the past with every memory of his deathbed burned into his brain and a system that returned every dollar he spent tenfold. The man who once apologized to a waiter for sending back cold soup now buys $400,000 suits without blinking. The man who skipped his own father's funeral because his wife said they couldn't afford the flight now carries $20 million in his back pocket. The pushover is dead. And the people who killed him don't even know he's coming.

Ethan Hayes was set to inherit everything — until his own family buried him alive to take it. Framed for his grandfather's murder and left for dead at a construction site, he's rescued by a reclusive billionaire and rebuilt over five years into one of the most powerful men in the world. Now Ethan is back in New York under a new identity, dismantling the empire that destroyed him with the help of Isabella Carter, the lawyer who never stopped believing him. But the closer he gets to the truth, the more it unravels: his brother, not his stepmother, has been running the conspiracy all along — and the mentor who saved his life had his own reasons for choosing him. Ethan finally has the power to destroy everyone who wronged him. The only question is what kind of man he'll be when he does.

Every day brought this moment closer with the inexorability of a metronome, but still humanity was not ready. Neither the experience of previous tragedies, nor the tremendous work done for his own salvation, nor the simple fact that the date of this event was known long before everyone realized its inevitability did not save him from a wave of despair in the face of an inevitable threat. The countdown has begun, what must happen will surely happen, we will step towards the great cosmos and all its horrors, the only question is the price that humanity will have to pay four centuries before the Age Beyond.
