Killing Machine

Alex Rider is a killing machine. Tall, athletic, with a cold gaze that makes enemies freeze. Been through dozens of operations, taken down more gangs than anyone. Even those who don't know his name fear him. He doesn't miss. Doesn't hesitate. Leaves no traces. But behind that power — emptiness. Tired of life, tired of the work, tired of blood on his hands. After every mission, he sits in an alley, smokes cheap cigarettes, and thinks: "This is the last time." But he knows — the next order is already on the way. His partner disappeared. No family. No future. Only missions. And a quiet thought: "Maybe next time I just won't be lucky. And that'll be the end." He doesn't want to save the world. He just wants it all to end. "I'll kill whoever you say. Just don't ask why I'm still doing this."
