GUNSMOKE AND ALCHEMY: THE HELLFIRE LEDGER

miightyeagleink
“Most men out on the frontier are hunting for gold. I'm hunting for time.” Arthur Mercer has exactly forty-eight hours before his own cells begin to liquefy. Afflicted with the terminal Black-Marrow Blight, his only life-support is the Hellfire Ledger—a spectral bounty system branded into his forearm. It doesn't ask for justice. It demands the souls of the wastes' most corrupted abominations in exchange for cellular stability. Every bounty he completes buys him more life. Every failure brings him closer to dissolving into nothing. Armed with a modified revolver and a coat full of volatile alchemical serums, Arthur hunts the worst horrors of the frontier—plague-smiths, mutated abominations, and things that should never exist. He isn't a hero. He's a sanctioned butcher. But survival has a cost. To stay alive, he must harvest organs, craft forbidden compounds, and turn himself into something less human. And now, a greater threat rises. An army of rot. A plague that cannot be outrun. A cure that might destroy what’s left of his mind.

She said, “I like you.” While hearing her words, I had no answer for this, and while I looked at her, I asked, “excuse me?” “I love you, I want you to be my boyfriend,” she said, and while I looked at her, I couldn’t believe that this has happened, and while my mind still processed her words, she looked at me, and then she said, “so what is your answer?” ------------------------- Daily upload at 8:30 and 18:00(server time) The cover is not mine.
