On the first day of the apocalypse, T'balt Ferrier dies. To his confusion, he doesn't stay dead. He wakes up—head pounding, city burning, girlfriend screaming. The end of the world comes right on time, every time. He's a Redeemer. Every "death" forces him back to twelve hours before the end of the world. With each brutal loop, he learns more about Earth’s collapse—endless waves of demons, a loot system that grants supernatural power, which alliances survive… and which ones don’t. Then there’s Monan. Another Redeemer. Monan has lived through over ten thousand loops. He’s mastered the system. And now, bored out of his mind, he turns T'balt into his favorite game: Kill or be killed. Monan hunts him. Torments him. Then kills him and the people he loves in increasingly twisted ways, knowing T'balt will revive so he can do it again. The only way T'balt can stop the agony is by killing Monan just once. But how do you defeat a man who remembers your every failure and has spent ten thousand lives dominating the apocalypse when you just started? - UPDATES EVERY WEEKDAY (Mon-Fri) Content Warning: Due to the reset mechanic—where the protagonist awakens unharmed after death—this story includes depictions of suicide.
