WARNING: Contains zero moral instruction. Reader discretion is strongly advised. The Business of Gods and Men: Ascension of Finance and part of The Master Fund series by Cyrus Luxor is a blistering, graphic novel of ultra-finance and cosmic horror. This is not a story of good versus evil. It is the galactic earnings report of a universe where the profit motive is the only god or devil, and everyone is for sale. PRAISE FOR THE SERIES (Fictional endorsements) “A masterclass in merciless speculative fiction. Reads like Wall Street directed by H.R. Giger.” — The Galactic Financial Times “Forget heroes. This is the playbook.” — Mordecai, Port Oblivion Flesh-Market Syndicate (Pirates) “The most authentically terrifying vision of capitalism’s endgame I have ever encountered. I couldn’t stop auditing the pages.” — Dr. Abraham Torch, Former Head of R&D, Celestial Dynamics THINK CYBERPUNK 2077 CORPO PORN. Peep game: “The flaw,” Kaelen said slowly, “is in the definition of efficiency. Both the AI and the Fragment define it as the absence of human friction. But human ambition—greed, rivalry, the desire to outplay—is a potent economic force. It’s not sentiment. It’s competitive fuel. Remove it, and you have a stable, dead system.”
