In a world plagued by endless disease, the Church stands as humanity’s only source of healing. Health Potions save millions every day. Or so people believe. After discovering that the Church’s medicine is actually a slow-acting poison, Zio uncovers a horrifying truth behind the pandemic consuming the world. But Zio himself is no ordinary human. Every poison that enters his body is reversed into temporary power. Paralysis becomes speed. Weakness becomes strength. Deadly toxins become brutal enhancements. Yet every borrowed power comes with a countdown. If he fails to inject the correct antidote before time runs out, the poison will kill him for real. Hunted by the Church, feared as a monster, and slowly destroying his own body with every battle, Zio walks the line between salvation and self-destruction. To cure the world— he must become its deadliest poison.
