Lucian Vale wasn’t meant to be important. He wasn’t meant to be anything. A walking corpse in a dying world, too bitter to live but too stubborn to die. His plan was simple—wander until fate finally put him out of his misery. Then the universe, in its endless spite, threw him into a collapsing Dimensional Portal. Now, trapped in the space between worlds, Lucian wakes up with an ability he never asked for—Dimensional Summoner. A power that doesn’t summon creatures to obey him, but opens the door for eldritch horrors to cross over at their own discretion. Beasts with too many eyes, voices that scratch at the inside of his skull, and entities that recognize him before he even speaks. Dragged into a war-torn world where evolved humans fight off inter-dimensional invaders, Lucian is a walking disaster waiting to happen. Everyone either wants to use him, kill him, or worship the monsters that seem oddly fond of him. Lucian doesn’t want power. He doesn’t want responsibility. He just wants a quick and efficient death. But with things lurking in the dark whispering his name, death might no longer be an option.
