Gideon Rex

What great fun for a leader that people do not think.

In a world where food is power, one man's insatiable hunger for control threatens to consume humanity itself.

Born into the affluent family controlling the Food Amalgam in the Mid-Continent Provincial Territory, Gideon Stark inherits not just wealth, but a legacy of corruption. As he ascends to power following his father's death, Gideon's ambition knows no bounds.

With a three-pronged strategy of manipulation—the supremacy of the issue, the surrogation of reality, and the supplication of the masses—Gideon methodically builds a terrifying dictatorship. He molds criminal organizations into his personal army of Silencers, Droppers, and Echoers, using them to shape public opinion and crush dissent.

As Gideon's influence grows, the masses begin to revere him as a sovereign, chanting "Salve Rex" (Hail King) at his rallies—a chilling display of their submission and loyalty. With his popularity skyrocketing, Gideon's power expands exponentially. Conflicts ignite across the globe, long-standing borders disintegrate, and entire populations fall under his oppressive rule. A nightmarish new world order takes shape, with Gideon perched atop a pyramid of fear and control. But as his dominion reaches its zenith, one must wonder: what terrible price has humanity paid for this tyrant's ascension?

Gideon Rex is a haunting exploration of power, propaganda, and the dark corners of the human psyche. This shocking dystopian thriller serves as a stark warning about the fragility of truth and the ease with which a single individual can manipulate an entire world.

Prepare to be unsettled by this chilling tale of ambition gone awry in a future that feels all too possible.
