Terminal Illness Countdown

Blurb Nicholas Marchetti died on the first day of the apocalypse. He froze to death in a ditch, alone, starving, and with nothing left to lose. Then he woke up. Ten days before the end of the world. July 1st. That was the day the earthquakes would tear the world apart. The day the temperature would plunge to fifty degrees below zero. The day the power grid would collapse. The day the dead would rise. And Nicholas remembers every second of it. In his previous life, he was weak. His family betrayed him, stole his inheritance, and left him with nothing. While powerful survivors built kingdoms, Nicholas struggled to survive in the frozen wasteland until death finally claimed him. But fate has given him a second chance. And this time, he has something no one else does. A spatial dimension that can store anything without it ever spoiling or aging. With $2.5 billion at his disposal and ten days to prepare, Nicholas has only one goal: Take everything he needs before the world realizes it's ending.

At 11:57 p.m., every adult in Meridian City receives a countdown. When it reaches zero, the implanted System will stop their heart. Completing assigned missions earns time. Failing them costs it. A privileged few seem to have centuries. Everyone else has hours. Elias Venn has spent years hauling injured people out of the city’s condemned districts. He knows how to save lives without asking whether the patient deserves it. Then someone empties his time account while he is carrying a stranger to safety. With barely three minutes left to live, Elias accepts a hunter contract and learns a terrifying rule: the System pays more for a confirmed kill than a living capture. His first target holds evidence that time can be stolen from registered citizens. Worse, the theft is tied to Mara, Elias’s younger sister, whose own countdown has begun to collapse. Each level Elias gains opens a new route through a city divided into lethal missions, restricted districts, hunter rankings, and hidden administrative permissions. But greater strength brings greater temptation: he can buy time for Mara only by risking his own life—or taking it from someone else. An ex-System auditor named Tessa Rook offers him access to the records everyone wants destroyed. She distrusts hunters, and Elias has every reason to distrust the institution she once served. Their uneasy partnership deepens as they uncover a chain of contracts leading toward the people who designed the countdown. When a new mission appears offering Elias the hours he desperately needs, its target is not a criminal. The name on the execution order is someone he swore he would protect. And the System has already started the timer.
