Synopsis

Love at first death. Obsession at every resurrection. Levi Mercer wanted to honor his brother's memory with a charity stream. The VR horror game was supposed to last a few hours. Instead, it became an endless nightmare where the monsters are predictable, but the man hunting him is not. Death resets the scenario but not his killer's growing obsession. Through forest slashers and haunted hospitals, their encounters shift from quick murders to lingering touches, from clinical kills to intimate whispers. He's collecting Levi's responses like data, learning what makes him gasp, what makes him shudder, what makes him break. The scenarios grow more complex, but so does the psychological game. When your killer starts protecting you from other threats, when violence becomes indistinguishable from possession, when you realize he's not trying to break you but to remake you-how do you fight back against someone who's rewriting your instincts one death at a time? Content Warning: This dark romance contains graphic violence, psychological manipulation, attempted SA, dubious consent, trauma bonding, and explicit sexual content within an abusive relationship dynamic. Features virtual reality horror scenarios with repeated character deaths, including suicide, and Stockholm syndrome themes. Intended for mature readers comfortable with psychologically intense content.
