Transferred to a technologically-advanced Earth as an infant from a planetary-powerhouse named Al-Vrygon, Geltorak—now Hunter Stone—blossomed into a highly-skilled fighter, a fearsome technologically-enhanced operative, and a globally-celebrated genius inventor. But at the age of 20, before Hunter Stone could really dream of achieving the status of god-like inventor, Earth suddenly plunged into a crisis of total destruction. A mysterious figure, predating Hunter's arrival, had abruptly risen to power and united the world as its inaugural hegemonic ruler. Unwilling to witness global annihilation, Hunter, who had undergone many training, began to forge alliances with tech-powered soldiers, mechanically-augmented battle veterans, and super-powered alien beings that resided on Earth. Together, they endured relentless violent conflicts and devastating battles against allied enemy forces, as they strived to avert the foreseen apocalypse—a looming decimation of Earth and the extermination of all living beings. Emerging as the revered leader of a particular faction in a desolate, war-torn Earth, Hunter embarked on a space odyssey to seek certain answers. But he became inadvertently ensnared in a scheme that led to the unceasing subjugation and eventual annihilation of numerous planets by a malevolent cosmic force. Determined to halt the unending planetary destructions, Hunter traversed dimensions to lost otherworldly civilizations, where he gathered materials to construct god-like technological wonders, and colossal supermachines known as Divinity-Machines—behemoth cosmomechanical marvels capable of rivalling the grand cosmic powers of hypothetical outer-space omniversal gods. Accompanied by his planet-shaking monolithic inventions, and adorned with the myriad god-subduing items that he built, he gradually formed alliances with friends, numerous other beings, and potent huge armies from distant planets, all sharing the hope of thwarting the tyrannical nefarious power from advancing in its wicked conquest! Yet, the looming question persisted: Would Hunter Stone really succeed, or would he become a mere remnant in the annals of cosmic history?

Calvin Mercer is an ordinary man living an exhausting life in Buffalo, New York, working double shifts to pay for his wife Nora’s chronic illness. He has no grand ambitions, only one wish: to return home to the woman he loves. Then, on a snowy night, Cal dies. Instead of finding peace, he awakens in the Hollow, a living darkness that offers him a second chance. To earn his return, he must enter the bodies of people standing at the breaking point of their destinies and resolve their unfinished business. Each completed mission rewards him with fragments of life, bringing him closer to the world he left behind. But every choice comes with a cost. Some hosts deserve forgiveness, while others have committed terrible wrongs. The cruel path sometimes promises greater rewards, while the right choice demands painful sacrifices. As Cal moves from one life to another, he inherits their memories and experiences, slowly losing pieces of his own identity. His only guide is the Intercessor, a mysterious figure with a shifting face and a voice that sometimes sounds strangely familiar. The figure explains the rules but hides the truth behind Cal’s death and the system governing his missions. One detail unsettles the Intercessor more than anything else: a streetlight going dark before a fatal accident. As Cal gathers fragments and uncovers connections between his hosts, he begins to suspect that his second chance is not what it seems. His memories of Nora are fading, and the face he desperately wants to remember is becoming a stranger. With every mission, Cal moves closer to his promised reward—and toward a final truth that could change everything. If returning home means losing the memories that made home worth returning to, how much of himself can Cal afford to sacrifice?

A System that is mysterious and does not reward only strength. It rewards Authority. The more people that follow Edrin willingly, the stronger he becomes. The more commanders and rulers that are taken down because of his actions, the more Authority he can gain. But there is a price for power.

And soon, Edrin learns that the struggle for the throne is only a part of a much larger situation. Kings do not hold power just because they wear crowns. Crowns have power because people kneel to them. And Edrin might have the one System that is capable of making them stop.
