Only because our son begged to go to the amusement park, my wife, Nyla Frost, a wealthy heiress, ended up in a car accident on the way there, leaving her permanently paralyzed from the waist down. To punish us, she slashed our daily allowance to a mere ten cents. For the past three years, my son and I had no choice but to survive by scavenging through trash every day, even fighting the dogs for scraps. One day, my son was so hungry that he lost all reason. He ate a few crumbs of a cookie that our family doctor had accidentally dropped on the floor. My wife flew into a rage, accusing him of having filthy, thieving hands. As punishment, she made him stand outside in the pouring rain for th

So a lot of you are confused about the specials. They are insignificant. That's all I have to say. They aren't actually a part of the story. They're just specials I wrote because of the holidays and I wanted to give my readers something to read since I took a long break (like 6 days without uploading). Anyways, the ratings in which you've stated your concern are the cause of this note. The end of this book is Chapter 36: The Second Great Specie War. That's it. That's the end. If you're confused because of the specials, just don't read them. You're not missing anything.

Four hours and forty minutes until dawn. I walked to the table and looked at the remaining files we still held. The older conversations between Varek and Roric. The photographs. The note that had started this final countdown. Varek had built his last trap so that every available door led to damage. The only question left was whose damage would be greater. My phone vibrated once. A new message from the unknown number that had guided us all night. The second drop is not where they are looking. You still have a choice. Destroy the shed files now and the code arrives in the next ten minutes. Refuse and the journalists get everything at 6:00 a.m. exactly. This is the last offer.

A column of flames shot into the air. The fire burned everything away. … The AI-written tragedy had finally come to an end. Truth be told, I still didn't understand how I was rewarded by that eerie countdown and voice. There was no earth-shattering change. I didn't acquire a superpower. I also wasn't transported to a different world. When I regained consciousness and opened my eyes again, I realized that my "story" had been recorded in the novel that was open on my phone, sparing no details. I shared the same name as the male lead of the novel—Connor Graham.

Then: “That they survive as something smaller.” Behind them, Garden Metro waited. Not for salvation. For direction. The seventy-two-hour clock had begun. Selene had fallen. Corven’s final measure was in motion. And Lena Quinn stood at the edge of the last decision—not about victory or defeat… …but about what kind of ending this story would allow. The next chapter would begin the final act.

The dawn was clean, the sky blue, the city ours. I kissed Marco’s forehead, Mamá’s cheek, Alexander’s lips, Lila’s scarred hand. “It’s over,” I whispered, voice breaking. “We’re free.” But the subway grate hissed one final time. A single red thread drifted out. It landed in the ash. And wrote, in Javier’s handwriting: VOLUME V: THE FINAL HEART. My chest burned. I looked down. A red vein pulsed beneath my skin, right over my heart.

Ron and Eric were right on his heels, both rushing over. Their hands reached out, only to find my body giving way, collapsing without a fight. No wounds, no pain. Mission accomplished. I headed home with my cool 45 million dollars. [The end.]

She offered him the means to redeem himself, and maybe that was all the saving he really needed. “Well,” said Mr Isimud. “It’s the final chapter of your story. Will it be the final chapter of Melissa’s? I have to say I’m intrigued. You don’t cut an impressive figure in the least, in spite of the immaculate cut of your clothes, but no one has ever made it to this place before. I’m excited to see how this ends.” “All you need to know is that it’s going to end,” said Jimmy. “Given the six thousand year precedent, I rather doubt that.”
