Introduction: Max Jaeger carved open Hell to save his daughter. He didn’t expect Hell to carve him back.What answered him wasn’t a demon with a deal — it was something older, something that forced stolen Hellfire into his veins. A power that awakens souls without bargains, snaps chains forged in damnation, and tears apart the laws that were never meant to be broken.To the demons who feed on suffering, he is a forbidden feast.To the Contractors who sold their souls for power, he is proof their sacrifices meant nothing.To the ancient Lords who keep Hell’s ledger, he is a debt that should never have existed.Max never wanted power. He wanted his daughter back — still trapped between life and death in the grip of the same infernal forces now hunting him. But the Hellfire inside him is alive, evolving, and hungry. Every soul he frees brings him closer to saving her. Every chain he breaks pulls him further from the man he used to be. In a world where power costs your humanity, saving her might mean becoming the monster she fears.They think he’s just another mortal who played with Hell and lost.They’re wrong.Max didn’t fall into Hell.Hell opened in him — and it intends to burn its way out.What to Expect- A dark, atmospheric urban fantasy with slow-burn apocalyptic stakes- Gritty, character-driven action- Trauma with soul-crushing emotional choices- Demonic contracts, mythic horror, and lore-driven power systems- No stats.
