Summary
He was built to endure forever.
They were never meant to.In 2025, the U.S. government captures a miracle it cannot understand: Adam—Frankenstein’s creation, still alive after 170 years, immortal, scarred, and unbreakable. Stripped of his name and reduced to property, Adam survives a regime of legalized torture with one quiet, defiant choice: he will not give them his violence.
Waiting becomes his weapon.
Then Samuel Reyes arrives.Young, brilliant, and dangerously human, Samuel is the first scientist who looks at Adam and sees a man instead of a specimen. As experiments escalate into ethical horror, forbidden empathy grows into something far more perilous: love under surveillance, intimacy forged in captivity, and a shared plan that could destroy them both.
Adam has outlived empires.
Samuel has everything to lose.Together, they must decide whether survival without freedom is truly living—and whether love can exist in a place designed to erase it.

Summary
Adam is depressed.
Lonely, but terrified to make a connection, knowing that person will eventually die and leave him alone.
It starts out normally enough, basic anonymous hookups throughout Europe.
But slowly, his desire to die wins over. He doesn't want to be immortal.
He tries more and more extreme measures in order to test his resilience to see if he can finally end it.
(I know the first chapter is in past tense, I wrote it before I came up with the rest of this lore.)

Summary
In the late 1980s, Adam is a broken shell of his former self.
He's trying anything he can in order to die, but his body simply refuses to quit.
Ilya Markov finds him in an alleyway, unconscious and overdosing. He takes care of Adam and tells him in no uncertain terms that they're going back to Russia and he is getting clean.
Adam doesn't argue.
(I wanted to see what would happen. Enjoy.)
