Unwritten Contract
THE UNWRITTEN CONTRACT
The most dangerous deal is the one you never signed.
LOGLINE:
In the cutthroat corporate jungle of Lagos, a broken man accepts an offer from the Devil to regain his life. But when he discovers the contract has no paper trail, no expiration date, and a lien on his unborn child, he must transform from a victim into a monster to stage a hostile takeover of Hell itself.
THE SYNOPSIS
David Kingsley was a man who had lost the right to dream.
Battered by a lifetime of failures, rejected by society, and crushed by a generational curse of poverty, David was ready to end it all. Then, he received an invitation. A seat at the table with The Benefactor—a charming, shadowy figure who offered him the world: wealth, power, and revenge against those who mocked him.
The Price? "Everything."
There was no blood oath. No parchment. No signature. Just a verbal agreement in a quiet room. David thought he had outsmarted the system. He was wrong.
The Rise.
Overnight, David becomes the King of Lagos. He ascends to the top of Stratton & Oakes, a financial empire that doubles as a farm for human souls. He commands the city with a wave of his hand. But the "Unwritten Contract" begins to collect its interest in terrifying ways. First, he loses the ability to taste food. Then, he loses the memory of his mother’s face. Then, his left arm begins to simply... erase itself from existence.
The Legacy.
The horror deepens when David realizes the contract wasn't for him—it was for the Heir. His wife, Zainab, is pregnant with a child that isn't entirely human. The baby feeds on memories, commands sand and electricity, and hungers for the one thing David cannot give: freedom.
The War.
Trapped between a Board of Directors comprised of ancient demons, a "Witness" with hands of cursed gold, and a Hunter in a red dress who wipes entire bloodlines, David realizes there is no legal way out. You cannot void a contract that doesn't exist.
So, David decides to do the unthinkable. He stops trying to break the deal.
He decides to finish it.
With his body fading, his emotions harvested, and a demon-child kicking in the womb, David Kingsley walks into the Black Tower on Victoria Island for one final meeting. He isn’t there to resign.
He’s there to eat the Boss.
WHY READ THIS STORY?
The Setting: A hyper-realistic, atmospheric Lagos, Nigeria—from the grit of the Kirikiri Maximum Security Prison to the soulless luxury of Eko Atlantic.
The Concept: A fresh twist on the Faustian bargain. What happens when the Devil acts like a modern CEO? What happens when "Corporate Law" meets "Spiritual Warfare"?
The Horror: It’s not just jump scares; it’s the horror of losing your identity, piece by piece. It’s the terror of a "Midas Touch" that turns your loved ones into statues.
The Anti-Hero: David Kingsley isn't a knight in shining armor. He is a cold, calculating executive who sacrifices his own ability to feel love just to win the war.
300 Chapters. One Rule: Don’t. Sign. Anything.
