egoist

Michael is a wildly popular Boovtoob star with ten million subscribers and zero idea what to do with his life offline. His audience calls him a “hero” for saying the right things on camera, but when the stream ends he’s just a lonely guy in a nice apartment, watching real-world violence on the news. On the night he hits ten million, a strange link appears in his inbox. One word on the page: CHOOSE. Half as a joke, half painfully honest, Michael types “ATTENTION” — the only thing he’s ever truly been good at collecting. The next morning, the world feels slightly… wrong. A driver slams his brakes the instant their eyes meet. A bored cashier snaps to full focus when Michael walks in. Clips of him spread faster than the algorithm should allow. People’s gazes cling to him a little too easily, like an invisible hand is turning their heads. Michael has finally gotten what he always said he wanted: the power to matter. Determined to use his new ability to become a real hero, he buys a black bike, a mask, and starts prowling the city at night. Unfortunately, from the outside, a masked man in black stalking people through the streets doesn’t look like a hero. As the city dubs him “The Masked Creep” and hunts him, Michael’s need to be seen, understood, and adored twists together with his growing power. Heroes are made by stories. So are villains. And the whole world is watching.

Ethan Cross’s life was already a mess. Twenty-five years old, freshly fired, broke, and drifting through life with no real purpose. When his car flew off a cliff on a rainy night, he thought his story had finally come to an end. He was wrong. He wakes up in a dark cavern, lying on a stone altar in the middle of the shattered ruins of an underground ancient city. The air stinks of mold, the silence is unnatural… and the body he’s in isn’t even his. Black hair. Black eyes. A frail, half-starved eighteen-year-old stranger stares back at him from the surface of a murky pool. No status screen. No tutorial. No overpowered skills. Just a weak body, a forgotten ruin, and a desperate search for an exit. Everything changes when his blood touches a small, freezing metal cube buried in the rubble. A blinding light fills his vision, and a cold mechanical female voice echoes inside his mind: “Suitable host detected!.” Ethan has become the new host of an ancient System—one that doesn’t feel like it was designed for heroes, but for something far more dangerous.

Trapped in a borrowed body, in an unknown world, guided by a mysterious and emotionless System, Ethan must decide: Will he become the System’s pawn… or learn how to bend it to his own will?

Across countless Universes, through endless Multiverses, past the towering Omniverse and into the silent Void Expanse, there exists a place no being has ever reached. A place older than creation itself. A place even gods refuse to speak of. The True Outside. And sitting at its deepest edge is a throne — a throne no one has ever touched… because no one has ever been worthy. Until he arrived. He has no origin. No destiny. No chains. His name is Void — and he does not rise through realms… realms rise beneath him. A System awakens within him, but it cannot guide him. Laws try to bind him, but they cannot define him. He does not chase power — power reshapes itself to survive his presence. Elders kneel. Gods shatter. Omniversal beings fall silent. Void walks with the arrogance of someone who already knows the truth: The throne beyond the veil was never lost. It was waiting for him.
