You died.
For all your life you have been making bad decisions after bad decisions, and this time your luck ran out.
During your years working with the wrong side of the law you had seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. What you never expected was that your choices would take you into a maze of lies and backstabbing capable of bringing countries to their knees.
Something big is happening and you are not in the small leagues anymore. To bring down titans, you will have to ally yourself with the shady HADES Project, a group with dubious objectives and even more dubious reasons.
In a race against time you will have to do the unthinkable before it is too late. There is no right or wrong in this game and the stake is your second chance in life.
The clock is ticking.
Grab your power suit.
Gather your allies.
And remember:
//==Trust no one==//.

<li>This game is __''rated 18+''__. Not only will it touch on heavy subjects, but it will also contain: </li>
*Graphic depictions of violence;
*Strong language;
*Unhealthy coping mechanisms;
*Guns and gun violence;
*Manipulation tactics;
*Explicit sex (if chosen);
*Taboo relationship;
*Toxic relationship;
*Mature content;
*// (This list will be updated if and when necessary!)//
<li>Yes, __''the protagonist is gender locked''__: This is my first time coding an IF and I didn't want to bite off more than I could chew. Not only that, I wanted to mix the otome/josei genre with the interactive format. Maybe it will work, maybe not.</li>
<li>This game is a __''ROMANCE''__ first and foremost: You will not be able to opt out of it. I am aware that some people are not fond of this type of content and yes, you as a player will have the choice to have (or not!) sexual content/pda, but you will not be able to get out of locking into a romantic route.</li>

<center>[[It hurts!|PRO_5]]</center><center>[[Make it stop...|PRO_6]]</center><center>[[Make it stop.|PRO_7]]</center><center>[[MAKE IT STOP!!!|PRO_8]]</center>The world is cold nothingness and burning pain.
In the void of your own mind, memories float as if scattered by whatever put you into this state. Every time before you try to pinpoint a thought or feeling, ravenous pain shatters around you only to leave as quick as it showed up.
You are a prisoner, unable to freely control you body or mind, locked behind the uncertainty of events that slip through your fingers.
Time extends and expands.
How long have you been in this state?
As the pain slowly subsides, you force yourself to focus on more recent events, the memories slowly populating the stark darkness.
[[Next|PRO_9]] The very first gulp of air that you take while conscious tastes of antiseptic and alcohol.
Waking up from that nightmare-like vision has you convulsing in panic. Your body trashes against shackles that hold you firm in the hospital bed. The friction between cold metal and tender skin forces you to open your eyes, only to quickly close them again to protect yourself against the piercing white light.
Have you been arrested? Is that why you are handcuffed to the bed?
"Finally. Took you fucking long." The toneless gruff voice shakes you out of your inner musings and you force yourself to try and open your eyes again, but this time, more slowly.
The first thing you realise is that wherever you are, this is no hospital. As your eyes adjust to the brightness, you take in the space around you. The room is spacious, but bleak. A number of high end machinery beep and chime, running constant diagnostics on your current health. No TV, no decorations.
Secondly, you notice the owner of the deep voice.
And he clearly is no cop.
The most you could take from his appearance was the pale blue eyes that carved holes in your face, the sand white hair styled into a military undercut, and the small amount of exposed pale skin. Everything else was hidden under heavy black tactical gear, his face hidden behind a half balaclava and black tactical paint. His frame dwarfed the recliner in which he sat, being for his impressive stature or for the fact that the man was a wall of muscles.
You blink at him and them turn your eyes to both of your hands, verifying that you were, indeed, handcuffed to the bed.
Not waiting for your response, the man gets up, proving that your first assessment of his stature was right: he was fucking huge. He approaches your bed, arms crossed and eyes burning with intent.
"Are you ready to give us some answers or are you going to give me the pleasure of rip them out of you?" You can almost pinpoint the accent in his monotone voice, but the knowledge eludes you.
Your head is still fuzzy, but the nature of his questions quickly downs upon you. Whatever he think you did, he would not shy away from torturing you for a confession.
[["Please don't hurt me..." Your voice is low, cracking as you feel your throat close.|PRO_11A]]
[["What... Where.. Am I?" Why is it so hard to concentrate?|PRO_11B]]
[[Stares him down, unafraid.|PRO_11C]]
[["Fuck off and let me out!" You trash against the shackles, outraged.|PRO_11D]]
[["Yeah, very intimidating and all, I'm so scared!" Your smile is full of contempt.|PRO_11E]]<div class="box header">

<center><<link "Return to game" $return>><</link>></center>You are so very much fucked...
<<button "Next Chapter" "THNX">><</button>>Maybe it is his tone, how nonchalant he is being, or it's simply all the stress your body went through, but you can feel the tears gathering as you try as you might to hold it back.
You hate crying and you blame the shock for the tears that spill against you will.
It is like a dam opens up and the panic settles.
You almost died.
You are a hostage.
You don't know where you are, what day is it...
The sheer weight of the obvious trauma freezes you, making you forget the clear danger around you as you simply let yourself drown. The man doesn't react at you meltdown, his position unchanged as he keeps watching your undoing. Breathing comes in gulps, your body shakes uncontrollably, the burning in your chest dispelling any amount of air that you struggle to bring in.
A heavy hand pins your shoulder against the bed, jolting your attention back to the man.
"Breath." He says and you want to answer that you can't, but he presses the hand against you.
For some reason, you can't ignore the weight put against you and as you focus on it, your breath starts to stabilise, the tears stopping. He waits some seconds as if to be sure and finally lets you go. There is no emotion behind his cold eyes, but he recognized the panic attack and he...
You can finish what you are thinking, as the door suddenly opens.
[[Next|PRO_12]] Maybe it is shock settling in, but you feel almost disconnected with the situation. A small voice in the back of your head warns you that this man is dangerous, that you should be afraid, but it's sound is drowned out by a strange ringing in your ear.
"I think there is something wrong with me..." You try to reach your ear, but the rackling sound of the handcuffs reminds you of your predicament. "I found something strange in the floor before..."
You remember the feeling the fire licking your legs and back, and you itch to pull the thin bed sheet covering your lower body. You would believe that the after pain from the type of burning you suffered would remain even after treatment, but you felt almost... Fine?
Maybe it what you dreamed was not a real memory. If it was real, you would have certainly died, being rescued or not. There is no way that you could recover from being hit by an explosion point blank and be feeling just fine.
And hearing a strange ringing in your ear.
"Can't you here it?" You ask him, furrowing your brows.
"What?" He looks around, looking a little unsure of what to do.
"The ringing..." But as you put it into words, a small popping sound hits you and you shake your head, the ringing apparently gone.
You blink in surprise and before you can say anything, the door of the room opens.
[[Next|PRO_12]] He is trying to intimidate you, but you know better.
You also know that you are deeply fucked if you are reading the situation correctly. Whoever this man is, his tone clearly shows that he is used to get what he wants and has the backing to not care about consequences. You don't flinch or avert your eyes from his, locking both of you into an unrequested stare contest.
There is a pregnant pause, none wanting to be the first to break the silence. A petty side of you want to keep it going, but if he wants answers, so do you.
"I don't know what you expect me to know about, but if you tell me were I am and why I'm locked up, I'll try to answer your questions." It's an olive branch and you mentally pet yourself in the back for your maturity.
The man scoffs at your proposition, clearly offended.
"You think I am fucking around?" It's rhetorical, his tone slightly annoyed.
"No, but neither do I, so, if you would b..." You can't finish your train of thought, the room's door opening completely stealing you attention.
[[Next|PRO_12]] Like hell you will go without a fight.
"This is bullshit! I have my rights you psychopath!" You pull against the handcuffs, your body protesting the strain put into it so soon after waking up from whatever the hell happened to you.
You probably look completely deranged to him, since concern flashes in his eyes briefly.
The man tries to approach, you imagine to try and hold you down, but he is sorely mistaken if he thinks you will let him get close enough. Fighting against the pain that engulfs you, you quickly pull your legs up, aiming a sorry excuse of a kick in his direction.
The angle is off and you are almost sure that there were little to no strength behind it due to your state, but the action is surprising enough to make him stumble back. Taking his size and posture into account, the gut reaction is not out of fear, but of well honed instinct. Your guess is proven right when he snickers at himself.
"Fucking menace." He studies you, looking a little unsure of how to proceed.
"That is right, and if you get near me again I will make sure you eat..." Your voice is silenced by the sound of the door opening.
[[Next|PRO_12]] Fuck him and his intimidation tactics.
"Oh, you think it is a joke." You can almost hear the smile in his voice as he closes the remaining distance. "So let me tell you a secret, you little shit."
He lean into you personal space, a hand holding the bed head board. Your eyes follow him like a hawk, even if you don't give a damn about his threats, you are still trapped and without defense. He brings his face close enough that you can smell the scent of gunpowder, whiskey, and blood on his clothes. If in any other situation you would almost think it alluring, but right now you only ponder if your knee reaches him so you can hit the bastard.
"Even if you tell me who you are working for, I'll make sure to break you so thoroughly that not even our medical team will be able to put you back together." It's enervating to not be able to read his expression and his low tone hides any possible cue that you could use. "And when I'm finished playing with you, you will be begin me to kill you."
Maybe it is the adrenaline of the situation, or almost dying one time sent all your sense of self preservation out of the window, but you smile, cocking your head.
"Me? Beg?" You mimic him, tuning down your voice to a low, adding a tone of taunt just for good measure. "Make me."
You can almost hear one of his veins popping as he takes two steps back and glare back at you, outraged.
"YOU..." The man starts, voice raising, but the sound of the door opening silences him.
[[Next|PRO_12]] You are back at Friday night. The crew is screaming, but you don't really understand what is being said. Have something gone wrong? Your body moves around the dimly lit office and you watch as you crouch over a strange object in the floor. You never saw it before. You can almost taste your curiosity.
Someone call you and as you get up, everything is engulfed in flames.
There is fire, too much fire. You body lay limp on the floor, you watch your eyes move around the room, focusing on the retreating crew. They limp out of the place, leaving you behind to burn with everything else.
Sweat and soot stick on your skin like glue. If you stay, you will die, but the adrenaline is not enough to mask the pain that shoots through your body as you try to move.
You look down, to were blood start to pool out from your injury. The smoke envelops you, making you choke at every breath you try to take. There is cold sipping into your body even if the world around you turned into an inferno.
And as you understand that you are watching your last moments before death claims you, you hear scream, but there is no one around anymore.
No. It is you.
You are the one screaming.
<<button "wake up!" "PRO_10">><</button>>"Phobos, can you please stop harassing our guest?" The... //thing// that enters the room sounds unamused, but that is only a guess.
They sound male, but the heavy voice modulation is enough to leave you unsure. They are using a full body mechanical armor that looks something out of a sci-fi movie: black, sleek, and obviously high tech. Their face is securely hidden behind a black helmet that reflects the room, leaving you unsure if they are looking at you or anywhere else.
"Guest? You are not..." The man, Phobos, swerves to glare at the person. The careful crafted mask of cold indifference falls as the both of them enter a silent battle. To your utter surprise, Phobos is the one to lose. "Your are. Fuck you, Thanatos!"
He doesn't wait for a response, storming out of the room.
You stare silently at the door, the exchange rattling you enough to make you want the man to come back so you will not be alone with whatever the fuck this person is.
"I'm sorry for my subordinate." They approache the bed, pulling a black tablet nestled somewhere above you. "I'm Thanatos and I'll be the one responsible for your well being, Miss..."

[[Now I'm not so sure...|PRO_15]]<<set $sprofile to true>>
"... $name $surname."
There is a pregnant silence as you take this Thanatos person into consideration. They know your name. How? You had no identification with you. Actually, it is one of your rules: never bring any form of identification to a job. The hard it is to pinpoint the crime onto you, the better it is for your freedom.
"Oh, don't worry, we know way more than just you name, Miss $surname." Are they smiling? Are they taunting you? You can't say their intentions with the helmet hiding them completely.
"To show a gesture of good faith, I will tell that you find yourself in a highly confidential base of the organization that I work for." They say, as they walk to the recliner and sits down. The suit doesn't emit a sound, completely silent even with all the tech in it.
They keep they head lowered, seemingly analyzing something on the tablet. "You are safe."
Another pause, you itch to move, restless while facing such unnerving person.
"For now." The person's head moves up.
[[Next|PRO_18]] "You see, we are highly interested in the job you did three Fridays ago." Three? have you been in a coma or something?
What the hell happened during that fucking job? It was just a simple break and entering! Go to the adress, recover the package, job done. It was not even that dangerous to beging with...
"I'll ask you a simple question." They say, crossing their leg. "If answer me truthfully, we will release you and fill in the blanks about what went one after, but..."
The Phobos guy had tried to intimidate you before, but whatever he did was not near as effective as the polite talk that this Thanatos was doing. You feel goosebumps as a cold shiver runs trhough your body.
Yes, Phobos was dangerous and all, but Thanatos...
"... Well, if I feel you are lying or hiding anything, whatever Phobos threatened you with will sound like fun to you next to what I have prepared." The threat hangs in the air, the tension tightening around your neck.
"Why...?" You croak out, your eyes never leaving the smooth surface of their helmet.
"Because one of our Reapers went M.I.A. during that explosion and if you don't point us to the ones responsible, I will have to assume you are the one who did it." Thanatos lower the tablet, hands resting againts their lap.
[[Oh...|PRO_END]]!!!You have reached the end of the current demo.
