Authors Note: I love cultivation. And I love the classics and tropes. But, I've fallen in love with space. And I found that there's a tragically short supply of space cultivation, with drama and such. What I hate, however, is power creep. That is not here. Cultivation is not sitting for seven billion years to godhood, nor is it take three pills and fart out a new universe. My take on cultivation is, alignment and knowledge. Strength as a by product, not a goal. Also, as strong as a cultivator might be, they aren't stronger than the sci-fi elements in the novel. This is not a generic cultivation power trip which cannibalizes the rest of the narrative. It will be a slow at times, fast at others. Morality is in question. Ethics in question. The trappings of a mind abandoned put up against the reality of the wider firmament and its place there. Yovan doesn't know anything about Cultivation. Only having dreams, the echoes of destruction, to haunt him. Any lesson he can glean vanishingly rare amidst the noise of the end of his race. It will take time, this is an epic, not a sprint! If that sounds like something you'd be interested in, I welcome you to enjoy. Ps. I know the dreams are cryptic and hard to follow. This is intentional at the start. //// What to expect: - Weak, weak MC, but intelligent, slow burn strengthening. - Romance, slow burn, psychologically active. - Action, though not for simple actions sake. - Ancient mysteries. Dreams. Spirits. Worlds. Politics. High Sci-Fi. Aliens! - Questions of morality, philosophy and oaths weighed against desires!

I ONLY OWN MY MC

WARNING: Before reading this novel do NOT self insert your own morality. Wrath. Pride. Lust. Envy. Sloth. Gluttony. Greed. Every human carries desire deep, raw, and hungry. In a world reborn by apocalypse, these desires are no longer hidden... they’re weaponized. When a cold-hearted hitman in his 30s is pulled from the ruins of Earth and thrown into a white cell with strangers from different times and worlds, he’s forced into a brutal new reality governed by the Desire System. Accept the mission tied to your deepest craving… or die. Reject it? Maybe live if you're lucky enough to hold a rare Rejection Token. But in a world this cruel, luck is just a lie the weak cling to. As factions rise, morality decays, and “heroes” fall faster than villains, survival is no longer about power it's about how much of your humanity you're willing to burn. Because here, in this hellish game of sin, the only rule is this: satisfy your desire, or be consumed by it.

Once upon a time, there lived a girl who was left on the stairs of the academy by an unknown man. His message was very clear "Remember Eleanor, your parents love you." Her eyes were so deep and beautiful that you could see the whole ocean in her eyes, yet they were so dark and mysterious that you could see the demon in her.
