The city lost power for exactly thirty-seven seconds.
By the time the lights came back on, thousands of people across Archetypike swore they saw something glowing above the skyline.
Something watching them back.
In a future where every street, every system, and every hero is controlled by the powerful corporation known as Eminent Solutions Group, perfection is more than a promise-it's law. Solaris Heights stands as the crown jewel of that vision: a futuristic district powered by clean energy, advanced technology, and carefully manufactured order.
But beneath the city lies a secret powerful enough to tear that order apart.
Micah Sterling was supposed to be ordinary. At twenty-five years old, he was just another struggling worker trying to survive a world built to leave people behind. Then ESG recruited him into the mysterious Better You Project-a scientific initiative claiming to unlock human potential through advanced energy integration and genetic optimization.
Something went wrong.
Or maybe...
something finally went right.
After a catastrophic synchronization event deep beneath ESG headquarters, Micah emerges transformed. Younger. Stronger. Rebuilt at the cellular level and mysteriously de-aged to sixteen, his body becomes linked to an ancient living energy source hidden beneath Archetypike itself.
Now known as SOVRAN, Micah possesses abilities beyond anything ESG ever imagined: flight, overwhelming strength, invincible skin, heightened senses, and the terrifying ability to manipulate and feel energy across the entire city.
But power like his was never meant to exist freely.
To the public, ESG are protectors. Innovators. The people keeping civilization stable.
In reality...
they've spent decades building a system designed to monitor, contain, and control power itself.
And Micah may be the one thing they can no longer control.
