As he rises from desperate survivor to world-shaping force, every choice blurs the line between savior and monster. Blending historical grit with mythic horror and ingenious twists, this epic redefines destiny in a world where stories can kill, blood can rewrite fate, and one man’s sacrifice might be the only thing standing between order and oblivion.
