Five years ago, Caleb Thorne vanished on the battlefield and was presumed dead. His family was ruined, his assets seized, and his sister forced to become collateral for a debt held by the most powerful banking family in Switzerland. They thought Caleb was dead. They thought the Thorne family was trash they could trample upon. They were dead wrong. Caleb has returned, not as an ordinary man, but as The Soul Sovereign. Within his pitch-black shadow dwell 10,000 soldier spirits known as "The Hollows," hungering for fear. When enemy guns explode in their own hands and billionaires begin screaming hysterically at empty walls, one thing becomes clear: The King has returned. "You ask the price of my sister's life? Unfortunately, your money holds no value in hell." Don't make him angry. Don't look into his eyes. And for God's sake, never touch his family.

Following his accidental death on earth, Vandread Le Crozerea is summoned back to be reborn again in the parallel world of Dizencia. He steps into a realm rich in myths and magic, where he will one day be hailed as the legendary earl and hero tasked with saving Dizencia from the brink of oblivion. When Vandread stopped the wild wyvern from attacking Dizencia, he was promised wealth and a marriage to Princess Camilla Sulivec, the heir to the kingdom. However, the princess had evil plans for the earl, and on the night of their wedding, she used an incantation to drain his omnipotent powers, leaving the earl defenseless when the whole kingdom disposed of him to the ogres' lair. Ever since that day, the earl had a deep well of resentment, and he intended to use it to exact revenge on those who had betrayed and used him like a fool, even if it meant being renowned as the legendary dark hero.

Awakened machines steal souls from the comatose. A dying sun ticks down to oblivion. Alien seeds rain from the sky, birthing ravenous jungles that crave human flesh. In this pulse-pounding apocalypse, a crippled scientist and his sentient AI "daughter" unravel a cycle of cosmic betrayal where salvation demands merging with the enemy, love twists into horror, and one father's choice could doom or redeem a world on the brink of eternal green hell.
