ContractorZero

DEMON CONTRACT is a brutal modern fantasy about fire, grief, and the war between monsters and men.

Max Jaeger didn’t want power for himself. He just wanted his daughter back.

Six months ago, she tried to bring her mother back from the dead. The ritual failed. Now she lies in a coma – cursed, silent, and slipping further away with every breath.

No doctor could save her. No god would listen. So Max offered his soul to the thing that answered. But the contract shattered.

Max didn’t die. He wasn’t possessed. He became something else.

A prison of demons. A furnace of Hellfire. A glitch in Hell’s economy.

Now he can awaken others – no pacts, no bargains, no strings. And that makes him dangerous.

They call him a threat to the balance. A mistake that needs to be erased.

Rogue Contractors are hunting him. A secretive institute wants to dissect him. And a billionaire prophet has declared him the harbinger of the end.

They might be right.

Because Max isn’t just breaking the rules – he’s unmaking the game. And something in the dark is watching him. Something ancient.

Something that once called itself God.
