Synopsis

In a world shattered by war, where radiation and lawlessness reign, the mail still runs. The Deadman delivers it—a hulking, inhuman courier immune to rads and bullets alike. His face unsettles clients, but nobody disputes his efficiency. Across the blasted wastes, he navigates raider gangs, rogue militias, and worse, armed with an unkillable body and a system that rewards survival with brutal upgrades. But when a routine delivery drags him into a conspiracy threatening the last remnants of order, the Deadman faces a choice: keep his head down and profit, or risk his second life for a world that hates him.
