The Collapse came on a storm of fire and stone. Meteors rained from the sky, tearing modern civilization to ash and rubble. 98% of humanity twisted into ravenous, flesh-hungry monsters. The animals and plants that once sustained the world? They evolved into ruthless apex hunters, preying on the few broken survivors left clinging to life. With the apocalypse came the Star Shards: blood-red crystals hidden in the craters, holding the keys to survival and power. Crack one open, and you might find enhanced food that heals wounds and boosts strength, unbreakable armor and legendary weapons, evolution serums that push the human body beyond its limits. The rarest of them all? Ability Awakening Serums—serums that turn ordinary men into gods of the Wasteland. This is the end of the world. A living hell for the weak and unpowered. But for the Evolved? For the Ability Users? It’s a paradise. Kane Voss knows this hell better than anyone. For seven brutal years, he fought, schemed, and survived the apocalypse, only to be betrayed at the very end. His adopted son turned on him. His once-best friend, Liam Thorne—the man he’d saved from death, the man who’d risen to power with the godlike SSS-Rank Soul-Binder Ability—butchered him and everyone who’d stayed loyal. When the darkness fades, Kane doesn’t wake up in the afterlife. He wakes up in a hotel bed, 24 hours before the first meteor ever strikes the earth. Armed with seven years of apocalyptic knowledge, every secret of the Star Shards, and a burning hatred for the man who killed him, Kane has one mission: seize the power that should have been his. This time, he’ll be the one to claim the SSS-Rank Soul-Binder Ability. This time, he won’t let treachery catch him off guard. This time, he’ll build a legacy no one can tear down—and only those who stand with him will get to see the other side of the apocalypse.
