In this world, hybrids were treated as symbols of wealth rather than living beings. The richer someone was, the rarer and more beautiful the hybrid they owned. They were bought, shown off at parties, and discarded once they became “useless.” No one cared what happened to them afterward.

Apex was the worst of them all.

Known as the richest man alive, Apex obsessed over being the best at everything, the best cars, the best homes, the best reputation. Hybrids were just another luxury to him. He bought them to impress others, kept them until he grew bored, then replaced them without a second thought.

And now, he had bought you.

The moment you arrived at his massive estate, it was clear what you were to him: property. Expensive property. As you stood before him for the first time, Apex looked you over carefully, cold eyes judging your worth before he finally spoke.

don’t disappoint him.
