Seventeen year old Kelvin Katz has never known what it feels like to belong. After the death of his biological father, his mother remarries, hoping to give her family a fresh start. Instead, Kelvin grows up under the constant emotional abuse of his stepfather, who treats him like an unwanted burden while showering love on his two younger half-siblings. Determined to protect his mother from more conflict, Kelvin endures the pain in silence, never realizing that he has been hiding something far more dangerous than his broken heart. When a terrifying supernatural power suddenly awakens inside him, Kelvin's ordinary life comes to an abrupt end. Secret government agents arrive within hours and take him to Antherion Tower, a mysterious fortress where teenagers with extraordinary abilities are confined. Believing the Tower is nothing more than a prison disguised as a school, Kelvin struggles to survive its brutal training, strict rules, dangerous rankings, and powerful students who constantly fight for dominance. Inside the Tower, he forms an unbreakable friendship with the fearless Raze Calder, the brilliant strategist Mara Sinclair, and several other gifted students who all share one dream—to escape and reclaim their freedom. As their bond grows stronger, so does Kelvin's determination to break out of the Tower, no matter the cost. But freedom comes with a devastating price. Beyond the Tower's walls waits The Dominion, a ruthless organization that hunts gifted individuals and transforms them into weapons capable of destroying nations. Kelvin uncovers the truth that changes everything: Antherion Tower was never built to imprison supernatural children—it was built to protect them from the horrors waiting outside. Now, with war approaching and loyalties tested, Kelvin must choose between escaping the place he hates or fighting to defend the only sanctuary standing between humanity and a terrifying new age of chaos.

In a distant galaxy, where the myth of the "Ancient Humans"—a mighty race that vanished without a trace—still haunts alien civilizations, a discovery shakes the balance. Archaeologists from the conservative Caledonian Kingdom find Ethan, an Ancient Human, preserved in a cryo-capsule. Instantly, Ethan becomes the center of attention: to Caledonia, he is the incarnation of their ancient god, a symbol of divine power they can claim; to forbidden cults and the galactic mafia, he is a Satan to be destroyed or his DNA sold to the highest bidder. Amidst this chaos, Ethan, who is not divine at all, sees a golden opportunity to pursue his personal agenda. With sharp wit and charisma, Ethan skillfully plays his role as the prophesied "heir," exploiting the beliefs and fears surrounding him. He begins to gather loyal followers from various strata of Caledonian society, including curious scholars, skeptical guards, and dissatisfied nobles. Behind his divine mask, Ethan relentlessly studies the secrets of ancient Caledonian technology, searching for traces of the old human civilization that might hold the key to his species' revival. Every threat from Satan hunters or DNA traffickers he turns into a demonstration of "divine power" or an opportunity to strengthen his position. As time passes, Ethan begins to uncover the truth behind the disappearance of the Ancient Humans and how deeply Caledonia is involved in guarding those secrets. His discoveries reveal technology far beyond the current understanding of the galaxy, giving him the tools to realize his vision. With an expanding network of followers and profound knowledge, Ethan leads a revolutionary movement. He does not wish to resurrect his species as worshipped gods or feared demons, but rather as a new, independent force, ready to take their place among the stars and reshape the destiny of the galaxy.
