Dr. Nyle, a brilliant scientist is on a mission to investigate a mysterious black hole that appeared near the orbit of saturn.  He discovers that the black hole was indeed a ship and journeys to it. There he finds epochis, an AI created, embedded into the ship, created by the ouroborans from eight thousand years into the future, who had mastered time.  Guided by Epochis, he’s told that an antimatter weapon, scattered across multiple universes, is the key to defeating the omnipotent Aeon Prime, a malevolent entity bent on annihilating all realities, which was the prime originator of an ouroboran civil war in the far future. With Epochis and a love interest, Dara sol, he travels the multiverse, looking for fragmented pieces of an anti-matter weapon. Each universe he traverses holds both the key to saving everything and the seeds of his own undoing. From a two-dimensional world where existence is reduced to planes, to universes made of echoes and timelines frozen in an eternal loop, Nyle battles both the strange physics of these realms and his inner doubts. Meanwhile, an Ouroboran captain, once lost in a time loop, emerges from his prison, now bent on stopping Nyle before it’s too late. The captain reveals the true history of the Ouroboran civil war—how Aeon Prime was created as a result of a rebellion among their own, fracturing timelines and bringing the end of the universe far closer than anyone imagined. Nyle must choose between continuing the quest and becoming Aeon Prime’s pawn, or destroying the one power that could save all realities. The end of all universes is fast approaching, and Nyle is the only one standing between survival and oblivion.

As Elijah walked out of the grand hall and onto the pedestrian lane, the truth of it all pressed down on him. He wasn’t part of the Stone family—and never will be. To them, he was just a poor, forgotten orphan, an outsider with no past or bloodline. They hated Elijah for it. Each glance, each cold word, reminded Elijah of how little he mattered. But what bothered Elijah the most was the old lady’s decision. Why had she insisted he marry Eleanor? Why had she handed him the family heirloom with such trust, as if he belonged, when the rest of them could barely look at him without contempt?

"Mr. Verus,” she said, “the surgery has already been paid for.” Cassius blinked, stunned. “What? By who?” Before the nurse could respond, a tall, imposing figure appeared. The man was impeccably dressed, his presence commanding attention. “I paid for it,” the man said, his deep voice resonating in the sterile corridor. Cassius stood, his body tense. “Who are you?” The man smiled faintly, extending a hand. “Augustus Verus,” he said. “Your father.” Shock coursed through Cassius. “My father?” he echoed, incredulous. “That’s impossible.” “It’s the truth,” Augustus said, pulling out a neatly folded envelope. Inside were photographs, documents—proof of their connection. “I’ve been watching from a distance, waiting for the right moment to step in. And now, it’s time.” Cassius stared at the evidence, his emotions a whirlwind of disbelief, anger, and curiosity. “Why now? Why not before?” Augustus met his gaze steadily. “Because you had to face life’s hardships to grow. But now, you’ve earned the right to know the truth—and the power to change your fate.” He handed Cassius a sleek black card. “This is yours. It grants you access to my wealth. Use it wisely.” Cassius hesitated before taking the card, his fingers trembling. The weight of everything that had happened—his humiliation, his sister’s injury, and now this revelation—threatened to overwhelm him. But as he looked at Augustus, determination flickered in his eyes. “I’ll use this,” he said quietly, “to protect Vinna—and to repay everyone who looked down on me.” Augustus nodded, a faint smile on his lips. “Then I trust you won’t disappoint me, son.” Cassius watched as Augustus walked away, leaving him standing in the sterile hallway, a man reborn."

In a world where Earth was invaded by giant spaceships and towering, blue-skinned beings known as the Maulaks, humanity teetered on the brink of destruction. But when supernatural beings emerged from the shadows to defend the planet, the tide began to turn. A mysterious figure named Marvel Holstein appeared, distributing ancient texts that held the secrets of awakening powerful abilities and forging potent weapons. With this newfound knowledge, humans joined forces with supernatural allies to drive the Maulaks back, forcing their mother ship to retreat. In the aftermath, the Earth Federation decreed that all teenagers must undergo two years of military training to unlock their latent abilities.

Rylan, a street-smart orphan whose parents fell in battle, was left to face the harsh reality of being ability-less in a world where powers were the norm.
