In the primordial world, ten thousand races fight for hegemony, but humans are mere ants, fodder for a gods that harvests faith, an immortal race that drains blood, and monsters that farm humanity like livestock.
In this universe, morality and mercy are myths. Only the law of the jungle remains: the strong devour the weak.
Aris Seldon, a self-taught hacker from Earth, died in a blaze of greed while chasing the ultimate prize: a Biochip capable of rewriting human destiny. His victory was pyrrhic, his final act shattered humanity’s fragile future on Earth.
Death was not the end.
Reborn as a primitive villager with the Biochip fused to his soul, Aris becomes a cosmic anomaly. No divine bloodline. No heavenly blessing. Only the chip’s cold, calculating analysis and a will that refuses to stay small.
He scans his enemies, stores their secrets, dissects their power, their bodies, their weaknesses and builds his nascent path to the peak out of everything he learns from them.
From a backwater village hunted by monsters who see humans as cattle, Aris means to forge a fourth path that has never existed before, not faith, not blood, not hunger.
He will build alliances, exploit every crack he finds, and turn the hunted into something the hunters fear.
He dreams that even the gods can be analyzed, deconstructed, optimized out of existence, if he survives long enough to learn how.
Follow Aris Seldon’s long, brutal climb to uplift a doomed race in a world where mercy doesn’t exist
