Aether Heretic

In a universe where psionic power dictates worth, he is an outcast born with none. Betrayed and left for dead, he discovers a heretical path to ascension: evolution through forbidden science. By mastering bio-hacking, nanotechnology, and genetic engineering, he rebuilds himself from the inside out, turning flesh into a weapon and mind into a supercomputer. Every upgrade is a painful rebirth, every victory a defiance against the natural order. He gathers the scorned and forgotten, building a rebel fleet to challenge psionic empires and the godlike AI that culls civilizations. In a battle for the soul of the cosmos, he will prove that true power isn't granted by the stars—it’s coded into the will to survive.
