Thriller

PREMISE Damang, a former special forces operative (Military Scholar) who returns to his village in the interior of Kalimantan, finds his homeland beginning to "sicken." A multinational corporation called The Andalusian Order has arrived under the guise of a green energy project. However, Damang smells blood. Led by Elias Thorne, a charismatic occultist who possesses telekinetic powers and the ability to manipulate blood, the sect is actually searching for the "Heart of the Earth"—the largest spiritual energy point in Kalimantan—to awaken a dark entity from the ancient Andalusian era that they worship. The sect did not come empty-handed. They brought The Paladins, a mercenary force modified with dark magic, making them bulletproof and granting them abnormal speed. When his father (the Tribal Chief) is brutally slaughtered before his eyes using a magical ritual, Damang realizes that his assault rifle is not enough. Guided by the spirit of the Panglima Burung through blood-soaked dreams, Damang must undergo a forbidden ritual to awaken the Flying Mandau and master high-level invulnerability. A great war erupts: Machine guns vs. poison blowdarts that hunt their targets. European blood magic vs. the ancestral spirit powers of the Dayak. Damang must hunt down the sect members one by one within a jungle that can transform into a deadly labyrinth, before Elias Thorne completes the eclipse ritual that will plunge Kalimantan into eternal darkness.

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?

Nathan has spent the last five years trying to leave his past behind. Once an elite operative of The Oath, a secret organization controlling world events from the shadows, he walked away, seeking peace. But one night, he wakes up in a bloodstained room with no memory of the last 48 hours—only to find himself branded as a terrorist and the target of a nationwide manhunt. On the run and unsure if he truly committed the crime, Nathan turns to Riley, a skilled underground hacker, for help. As they dig deeper, they uncover a terrifying truth—his memories have been altered. Clues left behind by Elias Graves reveal that Nathan once broke his unbreakable oath to the organization, but someone wiped his mind to keep him from remembering why. The conspiracy leads to Julian, Nathan’s former best friend, who is orchestrating a global web of deception built on manufactured threats and lies. Determined to uncover the truth, Nathan infiltrates The Oath’s headquarters for a final confrontation with Julian. But the shocking revelation leaves him shattered—Nathan wasn’t framed. He willingly took part in the crime but later chose to erase his own memory to escape the unbearable guilt. A recorded message from his past self forces him to face a critical decision: Expose Julian and bring down The Oath, risking global chaos. Take control of The Oath and become the very thing he once fought against. No matter what he chooses, the cost is high. If he exposes The Oath, the world is thrown into instability, and he is forever hunted. If he takes over, he sacrifices his own ideals, embracing the power he once rejected. In the end, as Nathan looks at his reflection, he sees Julian staring back—proof that the cycle never truly ended.

Three years ago, Adrian Cross vanished rather than stand trial for a double murder on Ashford Street, a crime he swears he never committed. He has spent every year since running, until a four-word anonymous letter, He knows you're alive, pulls him back before dawn, straight into a second crime scene staged with details from Ashford Street that were never made public. Journalist Elena Marlowe catches the connection first and starts digging, aided by her forensic-science friend Maya Bennett, uncovering a pattern of buried, near-identical crimes stretching back years. Detective Marcus Hale, who built the original case against Adrian, finds his own certainty cracking, even as his chief demands the case close fast and stay closed. Adrian's brother Noah guards a secret bought at a terrible price, one tied to a name absent from every file: Elias Voss. Businessman Victor Raines, long suspected, may actually be the next target, not the mastermind. As Elena and Adrian's paths collide and betrayals surface among those meant to protect him, they must expose a killer always one move ahead, before the next body falls, and before dawn reveals a truth that could destroy them all.

But Zyrus’s greatest battle isn't with the monsters outside...it’s with his own rogue shadow. In a breathless, pitch-black alley duel, Zyrus’s iron will achieves the impossible: he subdues his shadow, forcing it into a symbiotic, weapon-shifting duo. Now, with a lethal shadow-partner bound to his carbon-fiber staff and Dixy fighting at his side, Zyrus must launch a vertical assault up One World Trade Center to shatter the cosmic core. The light is fading. Can a blind man guide humanity out of eternal darkness?
