Elliot Kane is a scrawny, introverted college freshman at Crestwood University, relentlessly bullied by the campus elite: jocks, frat boys, and social media influencers who thrive on his humiliation. One night, during a particularly brutal encounter that leaves him battered in a dark alley, a mysterious cosmic anomaly binds an alien neural entity to his mind: the Death Mind System. This system grants Elliot a chilling power: by knowing a person’s true name and whispering their death in his mind, he can kill them instantly, their body collapsing as if their soul were snuffed out. No evidence, no trace; just a thought, and they’re gone. But the system isn’t just a weapon; it’s a living, evolving intelligence that feeds on death. Each kill upgrades its capabilities, unlocking new mental abilities: telepathic manipulation, memory siphoning, even glimpses into the victim’s final thoughts. The more Elliot kills, the stronger and more addictive the system becomes, transforming him from a timid outcast into a calculating force of vengeance.
