He was a monster.

The nightmares had tried to tell him for years.

They were right.

Arachna: A web-shaped city with a dazzling nightlife to distract its residents from that place-the slums. An abandoned section of Arachna where the poor suffer and crime rages on. Lance's home.

But Lance is tired of withering away in his rundown store in the slums, tripping over bodies in the street and falling asleep to gunshots every night. Soon, he'll untangle himself from this rotten city... or so he thinks.

In a deal gone sour, Lance is thrust into a new life in a dysfunctional crime family led by a performative and maniacal leader. Amidst the chaos of this new world, Lance finds that a mysterious drug is turning men into monsters. With his life at risk, and no escape from the city in sight, Lance must fight for survival, all while learning to live with his new 'family'.

But Lance has a darkness inside him. Something he has hidden since that night at the orphanage. And when it bubbles to the surface, he worries about what he will become.

Chapters will be posted weekly.

I thought being kidnapped by heartless scientists was the worst thing that could happen to me. I was wrong. Being rescued by a massive teal alien alpha covered in spikes was worse. So much worse.
