Thriller

Betrayed at the peak of his power, warlord Kael Draven dies with his brother’s blade in his back and his wife’s laughter in his ears. But death is not the end. Reborn fifteen years in the past, Kael awakens with the Devil’s Rebirth System; a curse that grants him strength for every drop of blood he spills. Every betrayal avenged, every soul claimed, brings him closer to the power of a god. But vengeance is never free. The more Kael feeds the System, the more it whispers, tempting him to abandon his humanity. To destroy his enemies, he may have to become the very monster they once feared.

Death was never meant to be played with — until he made it a game. Draven Kaine, once the Empire’s most feared necromancer, was executed for treason after raising the dead army that destroyed his own homeland. But when the veil between worlds cracks open, he awakens in his own coffin — alive, cursed, and bound to the ghost of the man he murdered. To survive, Draven must hunt the escaped souls that now haunt the living. Each spirit carries a secret piece of a greater puzzle — a game orchestrated by an ancient god who calls himself The Reaper King. Every round of this deadly game demands a sacrifice: a memory, a life, or a soul. But when Draven discovers the Reaper King’s final target is the woman he once loved, he must decide… Will he play by death’s rules — or rewrite them?

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. *****

Jaden Cole was once a nobody in the brutal world of mixed martial arts—a stepping stone for rising stars, a fighter known more for his losses than his name. But everything changed the night he vanished for seven days. When he finally returned, he was… different. In the ring, his movements were sharp, primal—inhuman. His next fight ended with his opponent dead and his own mind shattered by memories that didn’t belong to this time. Because during those seven missing days, Jaden lived five years in another world—an ancient empire where warriors fought to the death in blood-soaked arenas for the amusement of kings. He had been a slave, a killer, a legend in chains. And when his final battle ended, the gods sent him back… to where it all began. Now, haunted by the screams of the fallen and trapped between two realities, Jaden seeks meaning in violence and peace in pain. Every fight drags him closer to the edge of madness—every punch, a reminder of the arena that forged him. But when shadows from that ancient world begin bleeding into the present, Jaden realizes his past wasn’t just a dream… and the gods who made him their champion aren’t done with him yet. In a world where strength is survival, one man must fight across time itself to discover who he truly is— a warrior, a monster, or something in between.
