Arin Walker has spent his entire life being invisible.

A quiet, overlooked intern in a university research lab, he is used to being ignored—by classmates, professors, even the world itself. He doesn’t complain. He simply observes… and survives.

Until the day he discovers a forgotten fossil hidden in storage.

What appears to be an unimportant relic is actually something far more dangerous: the last remnant of Earth’s ancient Guardian system—a planetary interface left behind when a powerful extraterrestrial civilization sealed Earth’s true potential.

When the artifact awakens, it chooses Arin as a Guardian Candidate, connecting him to the weakened will of the planet itself.

The truth is terrifying:

Earth was once protected by Guardians, beings who maintained the balance and evolution of entire worlds. But Earth’s Guardian is long dead… and the planet has been bound in a cosmic seal ever since.

Now, with the seal slowly weakening, the same interstellar force that imprisoned Earth will soon return.

Arin is given access to a fraction of the planet’s sealed energy—but using it draws the attention of the enemy. Growing stronger means making the danger grow with him.

To survive, he must remain unseen.

No fame. No glory. No allies he can trust.

Only quiet strength… calculated moves… and a planet whispering through his mind.

Because when the ones who sealed Earth finally notice…

They won’t come to fix it.

They’ll come to erase it.

And the only thing standing in their way…
…is the boy nobody ever noticed.

A quiet, invisible intern in a university lab.


No one noticed the fossil hidden in storage either.


Sealed long ago by a distant civilization, Earth activates its final defense system — and selects its last Guardian candidate.


To save the planet, Arin must grow stronger in secret.


Because if the ones who sealed Earth discover the truth… they won't come to fix it.
