Synopsis

Salaryman Abe Masaru has encountered something that we’ll politely refer to as a “middle-management problem.”

After being murdered in a dark alley, Masaru wakes up in a beautiful new world. It’s a dream come true for the burnt-out office worker, until he realizes his killer has followed him. And it will kill him again… and again… and AGAIN!

And he's not the only one.

Their only refuge? A sterile hospital lobby: an alluring trap that forces them to either give up and fade away or continue fighting this realm-crossing predator.

To escape, Masaru must do more than survive. He must master the rules of his own personal hell, weaponize his many failures, and lead a band of broken people against an enemy that knows all their secrets.

Through it all, Masaru internalizes one key idea:

“Adversity creates resilience. Resilience creates strength.”

...And he’s about to show this “middle-management problem” just how strong he can be.

Note from author

"Until I am Remade" is the product of several years of "off-and-on" conceptualizing and refinement.

It's a story about how we, as people, accept the evils found within our lives, and the many ways we can choose to battle our demons.

*The novel is complete and won't be touched until after the contest judging period is complete. Please enjoy!*
