Faking It With Damien Black

Broke. Humiliated. Betrayed. Alex Black was the butt of jokes in his school, the popular errand boy everyone called to do their menial jobs. The most achievement Alex could boast of was self-developing a website, which he used for taking errand gigs from other students. His somewhat other worthy achievement was dating Emily Marks (or at least he thought), the prettiest girl from his class. Just when his horrors in human forms thought they had given Alex their best shot, Alex’s life picked up with a strange $100,000,000 alert. Their best was just his starting point. Alex is about to embark on a journey of face-slapping and revenge that will change the course of his life and his world forever.

As the illegitimate son of a wealthy family, he has always been treated as the product of a casual fling. When his family arranges a marriage with a lesser-known family's daughter and circulates a damning video, his life crumbles. He reluctantly signs the marriage certificate, knowing he's ruined her life too. Six years later, he reemerges as the formidable Commander of Death, driven by a thirst for revenge against those who scorned him. But when he discovers he has a daughter from the night spent with his wife just before his disappearance, he promises them both, "Whatever fame, honor and respect the world has to offer, I'll bring them all to you."

Orion Kane had everything: endless wealth, unmatched power, and the world at his feet. To him, life was a game, and he was always the winner—cold, calculating, and untouchable. But one mistake, one moment of overconfidence, sent his world crashing down. When Orion wakes up, he’s no longer the man he once was. His name, his riches, his empire—gone. Instead, he finds himself in the body of Leo Torres, a poor factory worker struggling to survive. A life Orion would’ve dismissed as worthless is now his only reality. As he navigates Leo’s harsh world, he begins to uncover the consequences of his old life—the pain he caused, the lives he shattered, and the humanity he lost along the way. But there’s something else, something deeper: a strange feeling that this isn’t just a punishment. It’s a chance. But a chance for what? Redemption? Revenge? Or something more mysterious lurking beneath the surface of his second life? In a world where the powerful fall and the forgotten rise, Orion must uncover the truth—not just about his new life, but about himself. Some doors, once opened, can never be closed.

One hour vanished from Detective Marcus Kane's life. He remembers kicking down the warehouse door, then nothing but blood on his knuckles and a corpse at his feet. No witnesses. No weapon. No memory. Now he's the department's most wanted, hunted by the brothers in blue who once had his back and tormented by jagged fragments of that stolen hour; fragments showing hands that move like his but aren't under his control. Then the second body drops. Same execution. Exactly one hour after the first. Marcus isn't just a suspect. He's a loaded gun in someone else's hand, and they're pulling the trigger on a schedule. Each victim ties back to a military black site that promised to erase his war trauma, not weaponize him into something unrecognizable. They didn't just take his memories, they programmed a killer into the void. His ex-partner Sarah believes him. Barely. She's risking everything to keep him one step ahead of the manhunt, but her faith cracks with every crime scene photo proving Marcus was there. And the killer inside him is waking up more with each passing hour. The facility's files are sealed. The doctors are dead. And Marcus has seventy-three minutes until the programming kicks in again. To stop the murders, he'll have to willingly step into the blackout and hope he comes back with answers instead of more blood. But his handler isn't some faceless bureaucrat, they're someone who knows exactly how to break him, because they built him. Marcus Kane has one hour to catch a killer. The killer is him. And the puppet master has been watching from inside his own department all along. *****
