Updated Summary: With the creation of different dimensions and universes, came forth intelligent beings. To regulate these dimensions and universes, higher beings took control of containers called UniOrbs. These containers not only regulated the Gods and the souls of those worlds but also dictated the processes of reincarnation. The UniOrb could not do this on their own, so they contracted souls to become "Systems" that made sure souls were able to reincarnate, but not all souls were fortunate enough to do so. "Systems" then teamed up with souls called "Hosts" to make sure unfortunate souls got their wishes fulfilled, their souls healed properly, and ready for reincarnation. To make sure the Systems and Hosts had a proper base of operations, the UniOrb created a separate space called the Command Center. This Command Center was at the entrance of the reincarnation sea, where souls would go to their next destination. The person in charge was called, "God System." One System was not satisfied with their status quo. They created something known as the "Villain System." This Villain System was designed to suck the life and energy from different worlds, using it to spread a virus that would slowly take over the UniOrb. Their goal: Take over the UniOrb to become the new higher being that controlled it. When all hope seemed to be lost for those in the UniOrb and its Command Center, one System, System 225, gained control from the Villain System, rescued his "Host," and together go from world to world, gaining enough energy to combat the System that created the Villain System. Oh, and also rescuing God System along the way. Book Cover Credit: Alice - via vgen: this_is_ALiCE_draws

He wasn't supposed to see her. One accidental glance on a city street was all it took for Nikolai Volkovi-ruthless boss of the Russian mafia-to lose the one thing he's always controlled: himself. Lila Roslyn is gentle in a brutal world. She apologizes when she shouldn't, believes in fairytales despite a childhood that taught her better, and sleeps peacefully unaware that a devil now listens to her breathe just so he can survive the night. Watching her becomes a need. Protecting her becomes a compulsion. Touching her feels like a sin he doesn't trust himself to survive. "She's my fucking drug and my antidote." As Lila begins to sense the man in the shadows-and the way his presence awakens something dangerous and tender inside her-Nikolai's empire starts to notice his weakness. When his father threatens to destroy the woman softening him, Nikolai is forced to choose between blood and salvation. Because the devil has found something holy enough to kneel for... and he will burn the world before he lets her be taken from him.
