The city fell before the world noticed. Hybrids revolted. Monsters walked openly through streets. The Xotikós — a white-skinned, white-haired species once called human — were reduced to survivors and graves. Gust escapes prison into a city already dead. He does not come to save it. Once, he had a wife who believed in the gods. A daughter who believed her father was a hero. The government believed he was a weapon. All three were wrong. Engineered beyond his own understanding, Gust was designed on theories even his creators feared — a being capable of collapsing reality itself if allowed to awaken fully. Marked as an omniversal threat, he was broken, tortured, and buried long before the world needed him. Now the president who ordered everything is gone. The gods who were worshipped never came. And the hybrids who lost their minds call him legend — and curse. Gust moves through ruin, stopping atrocities not out of mercy, but memory. He uses less than a fraction of his power — because even one percent would shatter what remains. This is not a story about revenge. It is a story about loss, faith that failed, and a man who must decide whether existence deserves to survive him.
