The Last Man in the Universe

A man with a unique name, Ue (spelling; Yu), decides to accept an offer to join a program called 'Into The Hole' because he is bored with his life. The program requires someone to be flown and enter a Black Hole which for thousands of years has always been a mystery to scientists. This program is sponsored by Hidetoshi Akimura, who spent his entire life dedicated to studying a Black Hole which they named the Black Eye, somewhere in the Norma Arm, Milky Way. While Ue is on his mission to the Black Eye, there is chaos on Earth, a catastrophe that nearly wipes out humanity. The disaster was caused by the Healer serum, a serum previously touted as a miracle serum and highly revered by the public, now become a deadly serum that wipes out more than two-thirds of the Earth's population. Can Ue complete his mission? And what about the fate of the remaining human beings on Earth? Find the answer in this novel.

"So," Nathan Beardsley placed his fork and knife on a wide plate and wiped his mouth as he looked at Alina. "They've decided that the unusual red rash is a bad effect of the Healer?"

While Alina let out a long soft sigh, Nathan took a sip of his drink.

"Yeah," Alina said and then wiped her mouth with a white napkin. "That's the sad thing—and yes, it adds to our slump, humans. Scientists have confirmed the symptoms as a long-term effect of the Healer, especially, will appear in women."

"What percentage?"

Alina shook her head weakly. "We haven't been able to confirm that far. You know, it's going to take a lot more time—or at least, more victims emerge which I hope never happens."

"So do I."

Nathan took a deep breath. If the women who previously seemed less affected by the effects of the Healer, surely with the first incident that happened to Gabriela, became another deadly whip for mankind.
