SCARRED PATHS
There is no justice. No morality. No higher purpose. Power is the only truth.
For centuries, humanity has clung to its illusions—laws, gods, governments, ideals—all fragile constructs masking the selfishness, corruption, and violence woven into human nature itself. The strong shape the world. The weak exist at their mercy. The only path forward is not reform. It is destruction.
Lucius Halloway will tear down nations, religions, criminal empires, corporations, and every secret order that holds the world together. He will crush kings, puppeteer governments, and erase the past it's gods.
But this is not fate. It is his choice. A path he carves with his own hands—one that stretches beyond the boundaries of any nation, beyond the weight of history itself. A path scarred by war, betrayal, and the weight of billions of lives.
And in the end, when the world lies in silence, when his work is done—
Would he feel fulfilled?
Or would he finally understand? That none of this was ever truly his. That the dream he burned the world for was never his own. That in trying to give meaning to someone else’s wish, he had erased everything—including himself.
And was it ever enough?
