Stanley Kleitos walked through the wrong door and arrived at the edge of the universe. Now stranded in a civilisation spanning galaxies, Stanley must find his place among eccentric explorers, political giants, impossible worlds and anomalies that refuse to obey reality. He only wanted to try something different. Instead, he found himself caught in mysteries stretching across forgotten history, distant futures and corners of existence humanity was never supposed to reach. Every answer leads to another question. Every discovery makes the universe feel smaller. And somewhere beyond everything humanity knows, something is waiting to be found.

Zero Resources. Zero Contact. Infinite Possibilities. On his 18th birthday, Grayson Reese wasn't given a party. He was given a one-way ticket: Exile to the surface of a dying Earth. He wakes up on a volcanic island in unsurvivable heat with nothing but an environmental suit and the Genesis System—an evolving UI that allows him to edit the genetic code of organic life and an internal AI named Egg to keep him company. There is only the heat, the hunger, and a dying planet that wants to kill him. To survive, Grayson must become more than a scavenger. He must become an architect. He has to decode the biology of the few remaining organisms, engineer heat-resistant crops, and terraform a safe zone before his supplies run out. He is the last gardener on a burning world. And he isn't just trying to survive the night. He is trying to reboot the biosphere and save what is left of dwindling humanity.

In the year 2086, humanity stood at the peak of technological advancement. The world’s greatest nations united under Project Helios—an ambitious experiment created to generate limitless energy by manipulating space and dark matter. But on the night the Helios Reactor was activated for the very first time, the sky above the Pacific Ocean cracked apart like shattered glass. A colossal purple rift opened across the heavens, pulsing like the heartbeat of a wounded world. Then, they came. Creatures from ancient legends. A golden-scaled beast with wings like thunder roared above the sea. Stone giants walked through collapsing cities. Women with raven wings descended alongside black storms. Horned beasts from forgotten myths began roaming the human world. Nuclear weapons were launched. Armies marched. Entire nations burned. Yet the war between modern technology and the world of mythology brought nothing but endless destruction. Until a being calling himself The Ancient One appeared with a proposal: Twelve battles. Twelve representatives. And the fate of two civilizations would be decided within the arena. Arrows against gunpowder. Muscle against steel. Magic against science.

Reborn as Prince Heixinggen of the Hohenzollern family's Swabian branch, he saw the coming storm of European turmoil and decided that Europe was no longer worth staying in. In East Africa, he seized land, organized immigration and development, laid the foundation through agriculture, and step by step, leveraged crises to achieve industrialization.

The protagonist didn’t end up as Shepard at all—so why does everyone know him as John Shepard? Because sticking close to the canon is profitable. Sure, it’s dangerously profitable, but when you’re in the thick of events, you at least have a rough idea of what’s coming next. That’s what John tells himself, anyway. Except he forgot something important: he isn’t Shepard. He carries the name, but he’s… What his real surname is—and what kind of trouble that truth will bring— you’ll find out in this book. Or maybe he’ll manage to squeeze a few perks out of it. *** Read over 100 chapters ahead and stay 12+ months in front of public releases — all early chapters are waiting for you on my Patreon: Granulan

When a massive VR game becomes a death trap, every player on the EU server faces a brutal reality: die in the game, die in real life.

This is LOVE! Thank you all; I’ll keep up the good work!"
