A branded villain hacks the System's rules, forging alliances with outcasts to dismantle a world where heroes and aliens serve the same corrupt entity.

Synopsis

Alexander dies and awakens in a world eerily similar to his own—until he notices the aliens walking among humans and the superpowered elite ruling from the shadows. Branded a villain by forces he doesn’t understand, he’s forced to assemble a team of outcasts just to survive the hunters on his trail. The System, a nascent entity woven from humanity’s desires and fears, marks him as a threat, but Alexander refuses to play by its rules. In a world where heroes and villains are two sides of the same corrupt coin, he’ll exploit every loophole, forge uneasy alliances, and wield his growing power to tear down the status quo—even if it means becoming the monster they claim he is. The real war isn’t against heroes or aliens, but the System itself—and its hunger to devour every world in its path.
