Carter's Odyssey
Three cataclysmic waves have battered humanity to the brink of extinction. Dr. Richard Carter, the last bastion of scientific hope, is ambushed. Facing annihilation, he activates a prototype time-travel device, a desperate gamble to warn his younger self. But the machine malfunctions, hurling Richard's consciousness 20 years back in time – not to the moment before the attack, but into the frail body of a 17-year-old orphan.
Fueled by the burning need to prevent the coming apocalypse, Richard is initially ecstatic. But euphoria evaporates as he confronts his new reality. The orphan's body harbors a crippling defect – a damaged mana heart. In this world powered by mana, he's far from the legendary scientist he once was. Forget slaying monstrous threats or rallying humanity. Can he even survive two weeks
