The Egg of the Apocalypse

At the end of the 21st century, the Del Comet passed close by Earth, leaving behind deadly chronic aftereffects... A type of spatial radiation contained in the meteorites could cause mutations in many kinds of living things... After the world entered the 22nd century, the global birth rate plummeted, while the "unnatural death rate" soared. Even so, many people still had no idea how precious life was, wasting it recklessly and even deliberately seeking to end it... Kelan Reeves, code-named "Demon Hand," appears to be the lowest sort of hitman: someone willing to carry out any murderous wish his employer has, as long as the price is right. But after finding a strange egg-shaped life form in a hospital, it seems his life as a killer can no longer go on... The creature that hatches from the "egg" possesses both devastating attack capabilities and extraordinary regenerative powers. What will it become when raised by the "Demon Hand"...? Meanwhile, a New York police inspector is obsessed with tracking down the brain-eater who disappeared six years ago. By a twist of fate, he sets his sights on the "Demon Hand." Are the two actually connected? Can the forensic investigator and medical examiner, drawn into the case for personal reasons, uncover the truth? And what sort of interactions will they have with the people involved in researching the "egg"? A sinister hitman broker, an accomplice, an information dealer, a casino owner, a hacker, a gang boss... A chain of sins, both human and demonic, unfolds around the NIT Project and its connection to the "egg"... Everything is about to be revealed, one piece at a time... Theme:
