GAME OVER
By signing the contract you agreed to give The Apex dominion over you life. One of three things happened after that 1. They fakes your dearth and brain washed you into being one of their puppets - you lived a luxurious but empty life with no power of your own and eventually were framed for one of their leader’s crimes and died in prison 2. You were kidnapped and taken to an underground facility to be experimented on and tortured 3. You were executed by a hit man that very week because they deemed you too much of a threat, even under their wing.
In your death you see that your whole life experience was part of one big game and that Liam Rue and the Apex were the Big Boss. It’s not a huge deal that you lost to them - pretty much everyone does - but you will have to be reincarnated into a new body and face off with them once again. Unfortunately your memory will be wiped so you must pray that your resolve and fight are stronger in this next round. You can’t win the game until you figure this out.
