AKAMPAISAAC456
"If he survives, he leaves. If he dies, he has simply stopped his journey."
In Crimson City, humanity is a flaw. Logic is the only law.
Caesar is not a man; he is the Parahuman-a leader who treats citizens like variables in a math problem. To maintain order, he executes the weak to balance his ledger. But now, a new threat has arrived from the Capital: Mandate 77-B.
The order is absolute: Maintain a population of 2,000,000 laborers or be removed from power.
The problem? Caesar's last massacre went too far. He is short by twenty-six souls.
Desperate to fill his quota before the auditors arrive, Caesar turns his eyes to the Wilds-and to the upcoming Saturday Market.
Twelve-year-old Cyrus thinks he is sneaking into the city for candy and adventure. He doesn't realize the gates aren't opening for trade; they are opening for a harvest.
Inside the walls, Kael, a factory worker haunted by his own survival, watches the trap close. Now, he faces an impossible choice: Remain a "Static" observer and live, or become a "Variable" to save a boy he doesn't know.
Two worlds. One Tyrant. And a calculation that can only end in blood.
Some doors should never be opened. Some fences should never be crossed.
