MAVERICK: The Player And The Slayer
[When a troubled young man discovers that the violent videogame hero he has spent his childhood clinging to is real, he sets out to change the tragic ending he has always rejected—only to discover that the man behind the character may want a fate of his own.]
Johann had already given up on reality long before it began to collapse.
The only thing that kept him going was a game, The Mayhem, and its silent, unstoppable protagonist: the Hellraider.
Then the game became real.
Monsters, death, and destruction—everything unfolded exactly as he remembered.
But Johann didn’t enter this world to survive.
He came for one reason:
to follow Hellraider… and change the ending that should have never happened.
Yet the more he walks that path, the more the world begins to break away from what he knows.
Events shift.
Truths contradict.
And the figure he once believed he understood refuses to be defined by anything, not even the story itself.
In a world where even fate is unstable, Johann continues forward,
even when he no longer knows what he is chasing.
