The Zero Sequence

Born into servitude on a desolate mining world, an outcast youth awakens a forbidden power—the ability to manipulate the universe's source code. Guided by a rebellious ancient AI and armed with lost-age technology, he begins a relentless ascent. In a cosmos torn between a sanctimonious empire and a devouring void, he shatters his genetic limits, mastering cosmic energies and forging a legend. Yet, his meteoric rise attracts powerful enemies and sets the stage for a heart-wrenching betrayal that threatens to break him. To protect his own and end an eternal war, he must transcend mortality, delivering brutal vengeance to the architects of his pain before deciding the fate of reality itself.
