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.
