Axton Backwoods has always felt like an outsider in his small village of Ashen Grove. Though his classmates possess elemental powers, Axton has never displayed any abilities. Raised by his foster parents, William and Evelyn, Axton’s life has been ordinary—at least, as ordinary as life can be when everyone around you seems to possess something extraordinary. Despite his lack of visible powers, Axton senses that something is different about him, though he can’t quite place what it is. When the academy representatives come to Ashen Grove to test potential candidates for their prestigious institution, most of the villagers expect to be chosen based on their elemental abilities. But Axton knows that he doesn’t fit the typical mold. With no elemental magic to speak of, he doesn’t think he stands a chance. However, his life takes an unexpected turn when he’s chosen by the academy, though the reasons behind their decision remain a mystery. It isn’t until Axton arrives at the academy that he discovers the truth. In a life-threatening situation, Axton is faced with a choice: to accept the mysterious Elemental System that suddenly manifests before him or face certain danger alone. The System, an enigmatic force that offers rewards, missions, and guidance, reveals to Axton that he has hidden potential—powers he never knew existed. These powers, unlike any elemental abilities he’s seen before, are unique to him and will set him on a path of self-discovery and adventure. As Axton begins to navigate his new life at the academy, he uncovers not only the scope of his powers but also the secrets behind his true heritage, his connection to the hidden world of magic, and the dangerous forces that have been watching him for years. Though his powers are still developing, the Elemental System becomes his greatest ally, helping him survive deadly tests and overcome obstacles that others can’t. Axton’s journey at the academy will reveal more than just his own abilities—it will uncover a world of magic, intrigue, and power, one that will change everything he thought he knew about himself. But as his powers grow, so too do the dangers that await him, and Axton must decide if he’s ready to face the truth about his past and the challenges of the future.

Growth of civilization has been augmented continuously by the colossal presence of technology. A hundred years ago, earth suffered devastating calamities and humans weren’t able to survive in it anymore. Humanity almost perished but a few skilled technologists came together to weave seven space stations that were capable of housing thousands, albeit a few. The space stations banded together to form a single massive station named “The Sanctuary”, where about 7,000 people lived. Resources were scarce and all crimes no matter their severity were punishable by death, unless the transgressor was under 18 years of age. After the Sanctuary’s life support systems were found to be deteriorating, 202 skilled military personnel were dispatched to one of the the nearest planets, a promising candidate for supporting life. The main mission of the military personnel was to scout a planet for a few strange creatures that were capable of resisting radiation and thriving in unfavorable conditions. Humanity had never forgotten to reclaim its lost home, hence various projects were launched yearly with the sole aim of finding a solution to earth’s biggest problem— extremely high level radiation. Project Helix was finally supported by the Assembly although it raised ethical concerns. The project focused on introducing animal genes into humans, with the belief that humans would be able to survive the harsh conditions of earth. Many problems were considered before the Assembly finally gave their support. Would the genes from these animals be compatible with the human genome? Would they be able to integrate into human cells and function as intended? How would the genes be edited and regulated to ensure they don’t disrupt other essential human genes or processes? Could introducing these genes have unintended consequences, such as altering human physiology, behavior, or cognitive abilities? Would the introduction of animal genes into humans raise ethical concerns, such as the potential for unforeseen side effects or the blurring of lines between species? Each one of these problems was enough to dissuade the upper echelons of the Assembly but the deteriorating life support systems was a major concern hence humanity decided to take a big risk, or perhaps a leap of faith. Let’s delve deep into this story so as to enjoy the alluring taste it has to offer, as Miguel Morien creates a new path for humanity, a path along which humans are able to fuse with the genes of beasts, thereby bringing out their lethality and battle prowess, further dazzling the entirety of the world with it.

Among the thousands of applicants for jobs, Soren was the ideal candidate. A nobody. He was essentially invisible—no ties, no achievements, no influence on the world. Just what they required. The perfect deity, after all, is one who can operate in the background, directing people covertly and unnoticeably. But there's a catch to Soren's celestial job description: the old deity had a bit of a creative streak. Prior to leaving, they constructed a second world that was populated with terrifying, twisted monsters and a ticking time bomb that was concealed adjacent to Earth. Their carelessness caused time and space to rip apart when they left the throne, letting terrible evils fall onto Earth. Soren must now give people the ability to defend themselves while maintaining a low profile. He can unintentionally bring down the universe he is meant to save if he meddles too much. Soren must demonstrate that even a nobody can step up to the plate while juggling his humanity, his divine duties, and the mayhem of portals and dungeons, or else everything could fall apart. Because the universe will inevitably become chaotic when the next god is just a regular guy.
