Goddess Of Limbo

Free will is a relic of the past. Souls have a prewritten path to heaven. If they miss it, they are doomed to roam the lost realm of limbo as splinters of their former selves or worse--as demons. Their only hope is the reaper Alames, whose own soul shattered when her celestial lover, Balthos, usurped their creators to make them gods. In her absence, he builds a pantheon of monsters and tricks the mortals, whom he blames for his grief, into worshiping him. But when a new generation defies Balthos's law, Alames's splinters appear among them. Brilliant physicist Ally longs for progress and innovation, but the Council controlling her nation strips the "Mad Princess" of power. Pregnant and uncertain, the unrivaled Captain Se'azana abandons her career for the false promises of love. The starving serf Richard makes a deal with a Fae demon to save his son. And teenage rebel Vana trades her guitar for a blade when faced with ruthless nobility. When worlds tear and hearts break, will they defy the gods' narrative to create a brighter future or will they obey the lies preached and doom their souls forever?

Together, they combat a covert menace, unwittingly catalyzing the destiny they wish to avoid-while a privileged few achieve eternal existence. In a world on the brink of technological and moral upheaval, this is a countdown to the end of civilization. It's the story of those who fight for justice and democracy, showcasing the indomitable spirit of ordinary people from diverse backgrounds. Dive into parallel romances that transport you from the icy Siberia to the vibrant Osaka and the pristine Lapland, all while indulging in a culinary journey of caviar, sushi, and aquavit. Can love transcend culture and nationality? LIMBO - The Countdown Begins Amidst Russia's resurgence as a technological powerhouse, a young hacker stumbles upon a mysterious menace with the potential to devastate humankind. Motivated by guilt over her mother's demise, she strives to unravel the government's plot, intending to warn the world-but ends up falling prey to a white trafficking ring. A disparate trio emerges, uniting a disillusioned aristocratic leader of a Russian dissident group, a brilliant roboticist from Hong Kong (with her mechanical offspring), and a Japanese PhD. Their mission is to rescue the hacker. This enigmatic character takes center stage, her life marked by a connection to the ancient musketeers of the Czar, resentment against authority, and the existence of a peculiar symbol that she believes will shape her destiny. PURGATORY - Rise of an Empire Bearing an induced fatal ailment and chased by the establishment, our snobby activist engages in a struggle for both survival and self-discovery. She confronts the highest echelons of Russian officialdom and is eventually reduced to destitution, ending up married to an artificial intelligence. In Japan, her Hong Kong companion ascends within the realm of robotics, courtesy of her groundbreaking inventions. Yet, this is not before facilitating technological espionage that arms Russia with a revolutionary tool for emotional manipulation. In the meantime, the now-free multifaceted hacker-harboring her own Dantean secrets-deftly sidesteps close calls with death, also doggedly resisting the clutches of romance. Ultimately, she exposes the Motherland's scheme to the world, leading her to capital punishment. HELL - Beyond Immortality The global community finds itself stratified by classes and vital privileges-literally. Pursued by the formidable FSB yet harnessing the latest multi-billion-dollar technologies, our rebels set out to save the day. However, before even realizing it, they themselves become the great threat, igniting a nuclear conflict. Neither biological immortality nor the frozen confines of a refuge under the Swedish Icehotel offer sanctuary-everyone must confront fate. Is this the end? What does the hacker's symbol represent? Will it save humankind from extinction? - ☥ -
