Hybrid's Dominion
Paul Vaneke, a young university student, dies unexpectedly and awakens in a savage, fractured world as a hybrid of orc and barbarian—a being unlike any other. Struggling to survive as an outcast, he discovers an ancient spaceship from a lost civilization. Bonding with its sentient core, Paul gains access to a "Civilization System," a powerful tool that allows him to build, conquer, and evolve. From a lone survivor, he rises to become a tribal chief, then a king, and finally an emperor, uniting the fractured lands under his rule.
But Paul’s rise is shadowed by a far greater threat. The Abyssals, a ruthless galactic empire from another galaxy, manipulate the world’s races—Dwarves, Elves, Beastmen, Barbarians, and Humans—through their proxies, the enigmatic Shifters. These shapeshifting agents sow discord, turning races against each other and weakening the world for eventual conquest. As Paul uncovers the truth, he must rally the divided races against their common enemy, using both the Civilization System and the lost civilization’s advanced technology.
With the Abyssals’ fleet en route and the Shifters infiltrating his empire, Paul faces a war on two fronts: one against the manipulated races and another against the encroaching galactic empire. In a world of shifting alliances, ancient secrets, and interstellar warfare, Paul must unite the fractured realms, outwit the Shifters, and stand against the Abyssals’ overwhelming might. Will he become the savior of his world, or will it fall to the machinations of a galaxy-spanning empire?
