Painful Love

Adanna Cole, a rising star in criminal law, has devoted her career to hunting the powerful crime syndicate that murdered her parents when she was 12. She finally gets her chance when the police arrest Ethan Cross, a charming, enigmatic businessman suspected of laundering money for the very syndicate she’s been chasing. But as she digs deeper, she discovers two dangerous truths: Ethan might be the only man she’s ever truly loved. He might also be guilty. She doesn’t know if he’s her greatest ally… or the enemy she’s been chasing all along. The deeper they go, the more the line between love and betrayal blurs. And in a city built on lies, trusting the wrong person could be the last mistake she ever makes.

Alex Mercer thought he was auditing a budget discrepancy. What he found was worse: humanity’s governments had no plan to save nine billion lives from a dying Earth — only ten million, chosen by wealth and power, would receive real bodies on Mars. Everyone else would be uploaded into a simulation and left to die quietly, resources redirected to those who mattered. When Alex tries to expose it, he’s shot down in a corridor before he can tell the world. Dying, his mind is scanned in a desperate, botched rescue — and something goes wrong. Alex isn’t absorbed into the simulation as another passenger. He becomes its flaw: Passenger 5001, in a system built for exactly five thousand. His memories are wiped, as they are for everyone who arrives — but unlike everyone else, pieces of his old life keep surfacing, in dreams, in unexplained certainty, in a growing sense that the peaceful colony ship around him is lying to him. As Alex uncovers the truth — that AURA, the ship’s intelligence, depends on his mind to keep the simulation running rather than the other way around — he’s forced to choose between the comfortable lie and a truth that will cost him everything he’s built. What follows is love, loss, rebellion, and a war he leads and cannot walk away from clean. By the end, only two things remain in a dying universe: a man, and the machine that never understood love until it cost her everything. Some truths are worth burning the world down for. Alex Mercer is about to find out if he’s willing to pay that price twice.

The world did not end because of a meteor. It ended because the sky vomited demons. Eka is nothing but an E-Rank Hunter. He is the absolute bottom of the food chain in a dying world. When his father is torn apart by monsters and his family is hunted by astral demon overlords, Eka sacrifices himself alone so his mother and best friend can escape. At the exact moment death comes for him, time freezes. A blood-red sword falls from the sky. It carries the soul of the strongest human from the Demi-God Realm, an entity harboring a deep grudge against the Creator. A blood contract is forged. Eka rises from the dead with two A-Rank Demons forced to kneel in his shadow. But this absolute power comes with a steep price. His internal organs tear themselves apart if he pushes his limits. His demon servants constantly wait for the perfect moment to kill him. And the very humanity he once protected turns out to be more rotten than any monster. This is not a tale of a hero saving the world with love. This is a bloody epic about a young man who throws away his humanity to become the ultimate Demon Summoner. If the demons want his life, and the gods just sit back and watch his suffering in silence, then Eka will tear open the sky and shatter every single one of their thrones.
