Spirit & Steel: Rebirth of the Void Martial Clan
Executed in the prime of his life for crimes he never committed, Raqin Draven—a disgraced hacker and martial artist—awakens ten million years into a brutal future where Earth is a forgotten wasteland and humanity lives under the thumb of alien races and immortal sects.
But he is not alone. Fused with the Soulforge Core—an ancient, sentient AI hidden deep within his dantian—Raqin inherits not only knowledge lost to time but the blueprint for a new path of cultivation: one that merges steel and spirit, data and qi, flesh and machine.
Now secretly the richest man on the planet thanks to a hidden inheritance, Raqin begins gathering outcasts, criminals, and forgotten talents, establishing the foundation of what will become the most dangerous human clan in the universe. From a private island base and a mysterious interdimensional realm called the Universe Garden of Beginnings, he begins training his followers using ancient techniques fused with cybernetic innovation, evolving their very bloodlines and breaking the limits of cultivation.
But his enemies are watching.
The insectoid Xenomorphs whose eggs cannot hatch in his followers' bodies. The cunning Phalanx, who seek to dissect his bloodline. The corrupt Celestials, who alter human reproduction to maintain control. And the ruthless Devils, who covet his secrets and wish to enslave his mind.
In a galaxy torn by war, betrayal, and godlike power, Raqin must rise—becoming myth, machine, and monster—and forge a clan that will shake the stars.
Rebirth is only the beginning.
