Oath of the Starlit Firmament

In a galaxy ruled by a decaying empire where forbidden knowledge is treason, a gifted outsider awakens with the secrets of a lost civilization. Armed with revolutionary technology, he rises from obscurity to reshape the stars—only to find himself trapped in a deadly game between imperial power, ruthless nobles, and an all-seeing AI. As his innovations ignite both progress and paranoia, he must navigate betrayal, war, and the crushing weight of loyalty. But his greatest battle lies beyond death itself: in a dying digital afterlife, he’ll defy the universe’s entropy to rebuild existence from code and memory. A sweeping sci-fi epic of intellect, ambition, and the unbreakable vow to protect those he loves—even from oblivion.
