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.

A 5x Wattpad Featured Novel✨! Consider this: You make a life altering decision not too long ago that you reconsider everyday and as if that isn't enough torture, it has the nerve to violently dangle two other decisions before your eyes. Want to guess the first? Well, the first decision is a step in the right direction but with highly probable danger to you and colossal doom to everyone else. And the other? The other is the best way to play it safe...until definite danger to you and colossal doom to everyone else. This is what Beth has to face after what appears to be a memorable night for the school of Zavlon Academia, morphs into a nightmare etched in the minds of the whole student body. Obviously, it's not easy. Especially when she's not only supposed to save, but unite with the other lucky few who manage to escape the incident. The very people who either contributed to or ignored the treatment she received as the 'other' Zavolonian. Particularly the enigma of a boy she's particularly torn as to whether to like or detest, to trust or suspect. Whichever decision isn't going to change one thing though; the lurking evil that's cutting corners, coming for the ones who got away. Fast. Ready or not.
