In a world where being different means being hunted, seventeen-year-old Alex Chen thought he was just another victim of circumstance. Bullied, beaten, and broken, he seemed destined for a life of suffering in the small town of Millbrook.
Until he died.
And came back.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger takes on a whole new meaning when death itself becomes your greatest teacher. Every time Alex dies, he returns to life with one crucial advantage: complete immunity to whatever killed him. Bullets, fire, poison, psychic attacks—each death adds another layer to his growing invulnerability.
But power comes with a price, and immortality is a burden few can bear.
Thrust into the dark and dangerous world of mutants, Alex must navigate the treacherous halls of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters while grappling with enemies who see his potential as either a weapon to be controlled or a threat to be eliminated. Government conspiracies, ancient mutant conflicts, and cosmic-level threats await—and Alex will face them all, one death at a time.
From a weak, frightened teenager to something approaching a god, this is the story of evolution through suffering, of finding strength in the darkest moments, and of discovering that sometimes the only way forward is through death itself.
