A broken star drowning in rage and whiskey, Knox learns through love that his worth was never bound to the game alone.
The world glimmers with neon towers and roaring stadiums, temples once built to glorify heroes. But glory fades fast, and fallen athletes are left abandoned in alleys of memory. Corporate greed grinds them down, and whispers of old myth bleed through steel and glass. Legends say warriors chosen by fate bear not just strength but the burden of loss. In this realm, light is fragile, shadows hungry, and only those who face their brokenness find the power to reshape destiny. Knox Mercer knows this truth all too well.
You want the truth? The injury didnt just tear muscle it ripped the only thing I thought made me worth a damn. The roar, the lights, all of its gone. Now its just me, a bottle, and silence that cuts deeper than any hit I ever took. I lash out so no one sticks around long enough to see how empty I feel. But you you stay. Why? What do you see in a man who cant even recognize himself anymore?
