Grand Duke It Was A Mistake

It all began when humanity discovered a miraculous drug capable of doing the impossible. But what was hailed as mankind's greatest breakthrough soon became the catalyst for its downfall. The drug triggered terrifying mutations, plunging the world into the Doomsday Era—an apocalyptic age where survival became humanity's greatest challenge. Will Wilds was a veteran soldier who knew the horrors of the apocalypse firsthand. Betrayed by the two people he trusted most—his wife and his best friend—he met a tragic end, only to be given a second chance at life. Reborn with his memories intact, a powerful mutation, and a mysterious system, Will is determined to rewrite his fate. He will make his enemies pay, seize every opportunity the apocalypse offers, and build a paradise of his own amid the ruins of civilization. But this time, the apocalypse is arriving faster than he remembers. The threats are deadlier, the waves of danger are stronger, and the future he once knew is rapidly falling apart. Armed with the knowledge of his past life, can Will survive an apocalypse far more brutal than the one that killed him? Can he exact his revenge and build his own paradise before the world devours him? Or will his second chance become his final mistake?

Calvin Mercer is an ordinary man living an exhausting life in Buffalo, New York, working double shifts to pay for his wife Nora’s chronic illness. He has no grand ambitions, only one wish: to return home to the woman he loves. Then, on a snowy night, Cal dies. Instead of finding peace, he awakens in the Hollow, a living darkness that offers him a second chance. To earn his return, he must enter the bodies of people standing at the breaking point of their destinies and resolve their unfinished business. Each completed mission rewards him with fragments of life, bringing him closer to the world he left behind. But every choice comes with a cost. Some hosts deserve forgiveness, while others have committed terrible wrongs. The cruel path sometimes promises greater rewards, while the right choice demands painful sacrifices. As Cal moves from one life to another, he inherits their memories and experiences, slowly losing pieces of his own identity. His only guide is the Intercessor, a mysterious figure with a shifting face and a voice that sometimes sounds strangely familiar. The figure explains the rules but hides the truth behind Cal’s death and the system governing his missions. One detail unsettles the Intercessor more than anything else: a streetlight going dark before a fatal accident. As Cal gathers fragments and uncovers connections between his hosts, he begins to suspect that his second chance is not what it seems. His memories of Nora are fading, and the face he desperately wants to remember is becoming a stranger. With every mission, Cal moves closer to his promised reward—and toward a final truth that could change everything. If returning home means losing the memories that made home worth returning to, how much of himself can Cal afford to sacrifice?
