God's Pity (old)
Kiran Ren is a quietly gifted teenager born into a world that never gave him a chance. Orphaned by war, raised in the shadows of society, and disregarded for what he lacks rather than what he is, Kiran has spent his life surviving rather than living. Intelligent, observant, and skilled in ways the world never rewards, he hides in plain sight, carrying the weight of dreams long buried under the weight of reality.
When he boards the S.S. Horizon V, a commercial spaceflight bound for Earth’s outer orbit, he sees it not as a milestone, but as an escape. A way to drift far enough from everything to finally hear himself think. But the quiet of space is shattered when a cosmic catastrophe strikes without warning: the solar system collapses in on itself, and the sun is violently consumed in a cataclysm that obliterates life as he knew it.
And then… he wakes up.
Not in the stars, but falling—hurtling through a sky he doesn’t recognize, toward a world that feels wrong.
With no explanation, no direction, and no certainty that he’s even alive, Kiran finds himself cast into a new Earth: a planet reshaped by ancient rifts, cosmic forces, and powers far beyond anything humanity once knew. But if this is a second chance… it didn’t come from kindness.
Now trapped in a world ruled by strength, mutations, and the long shadow of alien invasion, Kiran must navigate a broken society that values power above all else. He’s a nobody again—unawakened, unarmed, and alone.
But this time, he's not here to be forgotten.
