"The shadows aren't just watching you... they're waiting to become you."
​The world is a Dead Dream. Humanity is no longer at the top of the food chain; we are the inventory.
​Matthan Null is a survivor. With a shattered past and a body marked by chronic pain, he thought a job at Store 9 was his last chance at a life. He was wrong. Managed by the iron-fisted XVII Omens, Store 9 isn't just a workplace—it's a hunting ground.
​The man in charge is Colton. Massive, terrifying, and dangerously protective, Colton offers Matthan a deal: absolute obedience in exchange for survival. But as the sun sets and the store begins to breathe, Matthan realizes that the "safety" Colton provides comes with a heavy price.
​Between blood-scrawled warnings, the chilling 8 PM calls from the manic Luz, and a lead operator named Payton Blackthorne who views humans as "damaged goods," Matthan is a mouse trapped in a very large cage.
​In a world where Rule #14 is whispered in the dark and the shadows have teeth, Matthan must decide: Is he Colton's partner, or his most prized possession?
​The Rules of Survival:
​Rule #1: The Store is LIVED in by day, but it’s the Devil’s by night.
​Rule #11: Don’t let the shadows touch you. Ever.
​Rule #14: [REDACTED]
​Enter Store 9... if you dare.
