icarus

The International Center for Artificial Resource Station, but most commonly known as ICARUS. A fully autonomous island nation inhabited by millions of different people from various backgrounds and nationalities. That includes politicians, actors, businessmen, thugs, mercenaries, convicts, students, etc. And this will be the place where our MC will be having his high school debut. Follow him on his mission and daily life at ICARUS and witness how one man can change an entire nation. Author note: This novel will be based on first person POV from multiple characters. It is also filled to the brim with profanities and sensitive topics such as suicide, drugs, and racism, so if you're not a fan of heavy contents and is sensitive about his/her reading preferences, then I will not recommend my book. This is also my second time writing so I will try my best to live up to my readers expectations. I do not own the cover photo. I found it on pinterest, so if owner wants me to change it please kindly message me.

Allison Fae is the new kid to Nasseu Middle School, and already she's got kids dying left and right! Okay, just left. One half of conjoined twins Rosemary and Josephine Higgins is the victim of an awful bashing-to-the-head that kids are getting so mixed up with today. A dark force takes intrigue in the itty-bitty human conflict that is definitely in no way, shape, or form related to the murder of that rich kid a few months before the start of school. The force, named Issachar preserves the scene of the crime perfectly so an investigation can be properly maintained with no silly distractions from the outside like 'police' or 'lawyers'. "Solve the murder, escape the darkness!" Issachar tells the children, and thus kickstarts an investigation into the darkest truths and lies about the kids at Nasseu Middle School. Trigger Warnings: Violence, Murder, Sexual Assault, Rape, Torture

They called him a failure. They were his greatest mistake. Forged in the clandestine, oceanic lab of the Chorus of the Final Dawn—a cult that worships a slumbering cosmic horror—Subject 69 was meant to be a masterpiece. Instead, he was declared a dud. While the other children in the "Wombs of Rebirth" developed terrifying hybrid transformations or superhuman senses, 69 manifested nothing. He was the null result, the control subject, the living punching bag. But survival is the ultimate talent. Driven by a feral instinct he cannot explain, 69 does not rely on power. He relies on cunning. He learns to read the micro-twitches of a Shifter before they strike, to sense the blind spot of a Perfected, to turn their arrogance against them. While they hone their gifts, he hones a single, brutal skill: the art of death. He becomes the lab’s most effective and unexpected assassin, the ghost who systematically eliminates the ninety-nine other "successful" experiments in the cult's bloody spars. Now the last one standing, he is given a name by the cult's psychotic leader: Icarus. It is a taunt and a prophecy. She believes his wings—his relentless will to survive—will finally lead to his glorious, catastrophic fall. But Icarus is done being her instrument. In a final, bloody confrontation, he seizes a chance for escape, fighting his way through seventy floors of superhuman guards and security systems. He finally bursts free, only to be met with a truth more terrifying than any lab: his prison is not on land. It is buried 35,876 meters deep in the lightless ocean abyss. Trapped at the bottom of the world, Icarus must now achieve the impossible. He must escape an inescapable prison, navigate a surface world he has never seen, and outrun the relentless cult that sees him as their property and their key to awakening a god that will end all existence. His only gifts are his shattered instincts, his killer's mind, and a burning need to discover if there is a man behind the monster they created—or if the world above is just a larger cage.
