This is a story of survival, sacrifice, and the terrifying realization that in the world of Norse mythology, death is never the end it's just the beginning of something worse.

Alex is killed when he tries to protect his wife, who unknown to him, is in league with the gangsters attacking them, and even in love with their leader. The gangster forces her to have sex with him with Alex watching before they kill him and burn his body, and when his soul goes to the Underworld, he asks for his life back. Hades grants it to him because Zeus and Alexander the Great, King of Macedon, have also pleaded as he is the last of the latter's line and heir to the ancient throne, but on his own terms. That he will be half human, will be unable to die, and would need to fight in wars before he can find the Seal that will give him a body again. Alex accepts all this without thinking twice, only to see that he's been tricked. With his system and his guide, Maia, set in another world, will Alex become human again and get his revenge, or will he remain in his half metal body and be punished with the condition of having to live forever in it?
