In the neon-lit streets of Neo-Tokyo, Dr. Lysander Kade keeps a deadly secret.
He isn't human.
When Earth's magical core begins to collapse, threatening to tear reality apart, he knows he can no longer hide.
He needs a team: A quantum programmer who sees patterns in chaos A soldier haunted by his past An archaeologist with forbidden knowledge A space pirate with nothing left to lose
Their mission: find the legendary Etherium Core, an artifact of impossible power.
Their enemies: an army of ruthless machines determined to keep the universe's deepest mysteries buried.
Their chances of survival: rapidly diminishing.
The cost of failure: the end of all existence.
And even success might require the ultimate sacrifice—their very beings scattered across the cosmos.
In the race to save reality itself, who will survive the Etherium Awakening?
