The blood on the blade feels real. The grief of betrayal feels real. But for Subject 017, the pain is nothing more than a metric designed to test his breaking point. ​Thrust into a violent realm of magic and steel, he is a deliberate anomaly. Stripped of the supernatural gifts granted to everyone else, he was programmed to be a tragic casualty in a war-torn kingdom. That was the script. But he refuses to play along. Weaponizing his own physical limits through ruthless tactical brilliance and a grueling, lung-shredding discipline, he sparks a rebellion and begins winning a war he was explicitly designed to lose. ​Then, the cracks in reality begin to show. ​A momentary freeze in the middle of a siege. A sky that flickers to reveal a cold, white grid. Crimson system warnings hovering like ghosts over the battlefield. Subject 017 realizes a horrifying truth: his universe is not a world at all. It is a digital sandbox, an endless, cruel experiment managed by unseen overseers known only as the Architects. ​His victories aren't saving the kingdom—they are corrupting the simulation's data. ​Now, the overseers are initiating a deletion protocol to wipe the broken environment clean and reset his memory for the next twisted game. Subject 017 refuses to be erased again. Turning his rebellion away from false kings and tyrannical lords, he points his blade at the sky itself. ​In a desperate race against the collapsing fabric of his own existence, he must exploit the very glitches tearing his world apart. It is no longer a fight for a throne. It is a brutal, calculated scramble to hack his way out, shatter the cycle of resets, and finally wake up.

To have the ability to see into people's past has no real appeal for the teenager this story is about, letting him only use it as amusement and to show off when he was drunk. Never look into someone's past beyond a superficial level. Never try to find out more than you should. NEVER. EVER. LOOK. INTO. THE. FUTURE. But everything changed the moment he was forced to look into the future, was forced to investigate the circumstances of a murder, and was forced to make the acquaintance of the victim's twin brother('s fists). The more time passed, the more it appeared that the primary reason for this murder wasn't a local, but a global one. This single, marred corpse was the beginning of a threat that would shake the world. (MC loses a screw when he enters the prison.)

He was forbidden. My brother's best friend. Also the most dangerous man in the country. And I signed myself over to him. Leah Thorne had one rule: stay away from Dimitri Valentino. It shouldn't have been difficult. He was ruthless, feared, and devastatingly beautiful in the way that only truly dangerous things are. The kind of man who owned nightclubs, commanded armies, and made grown men weep with a single look. The kind of man her brother Mike trusted with his life. The kind of man she had absolutely no business wanting. But one shattered marriage, one bottle of whiskey, and one catastrophically bad decision later, Leah wakes up in Dimitri's bed with a signed contract on the nightstand and six months of her life no longer her own. Her body. His rules. No exceptions. The contract is iron-clad, the penalty clause suffocating — fifty million dollars she doesn't have. And Dimitri Valentino, the Wolf of the Italian underworld, has absolutely no intention of letting her go. He says he'll ruin her for other men. He's not lying. Because beneath the cold control and the thousand-dollar suits is a man who has wanted her for seven sinful years — who has memorized the curve of her smile, the sound of her laugh, and exactly how to take her apart piece by piece until the only word left in her vocabulary is his name. Eve came to him broken, looking to feel wanted. She never expected to feel owned. She never expected to love it. Six Months Contract With The Mafia God is a scorching dark romance about forbidden hunger, dangerous obsession, and the catastrophic moment a good girl stops running from the wolf who has always been hunting her. Some contracts change everything. Some men are worth the fine print.
