The year is 2099. Seemingly out of nowhere, a mysterious new company has arisen. Its influence spans all the way from the east to the west, and its power only continues to grow. Rumors of its secretive facilities around the world never last very long; the people who start those rumors are soon silenced.
This company, known to many as GFC, hold a tight grasp over many in power, and the United Nations is even considering giving its founder a voice in their meetings. However, GFC's founder and leader, Mr. Sarek stated that "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few," and he explained that he could not join the United Nations, as he must focus on maintaining the quality of his products for men and women who rely on them world-wide.
This is the story of a man who discovers GFC's dirty secret.

Deep Black Road: The Head of the Snake
It all started in 2079 with the three of them. First there was the boy, who loved robotics and chess, but was crushed by a robot run amok. Then there was the general, who wasn't about to let something as trivial as a fatal illness interfere with his plan to take over the Federation of North America. And finally, the girl: being groomed by her wealthy and influential father for business success and political power, she was cut down in a freak car accident. The general got his wish to be made robotic, and proceeded to topple the provincial government of Foredan on his way to taking on the rest of the Federation. The boy's father, clinging to his last emotional connection with his late wife, put his son's soul into a memorial robot; but the robot boy got tangled up in the general's machinations, and fell into the hands of the renegade Followers of the Anointed One. The girl, having being roboticized at her father's expense, threw her lot in with the general's scheme, intending to ride his coattails to the power she sought. None of them counted on the Prophet. Would the boy, having been granted a 'great and terrible' destiny when he hung between death and life, be able to find his way to it ... on the Deep Black Road?Complete

Born with a rare genetic condition and unknowingly exposed to a powerful military experiment, Krison gains two extraordinary abilities: the power to see mysterious numbers over people's heads and a rapid self-healing factor that makes him nearly invincible. But that's not all-Krison can summon vast armies from the U.S., China, and the GLA (Global Liberation Army), including advanced weaponry like Abrams tanks and military forces, seemingly from another world. When Krison's powers are accidentally revealed during a school presentation, he becomes a target. Global factions-both allies and enemies-are drawn to his abilities, either seeking to control him, harness his powers, or eliminate him. As the young boy grapples with his newfound responsibility, he must navigate a world of political intrigue, military strategy, and dangerous alliances. Krison must decide if he will use his powers for good, risking everything to protect those he loves, or if he will succumb to the pressures of those who seek to exploit him for their own agendas. As Krison faces battles both external and within himself, he must also uncover the origins of his strange abilities, leading him to a discovery that could change the fate of the world forever.
