Every scar tells a story, and every story shapes the man who will save-or end-the world.
Michael's childhood wasn't a tale of innocence-it was a series of battles no child should ever have to fight. From broken glass underfoot in a volatile home to hollow stares in empty rooms, his young life was defined by moments of fear, loss, and defiance. At the heart of it all is Michael: a boy torn between love for the father who fought for him and resentment for a world that kept pulling him down. Each chapter unravels the dark, formative years that hardened his spirit, revealing the boy behind the scars, the anger behind his silence, and the grit behind his survival.
More than just tragedy, Michael's story is a testament to resilience. Readers will feel the heat of his anger, the sting of his betrayals, and the flicker of hope that refuses to die-because sometimes the most broken children grow up to become the most powerful heroes.
Before Michael could save the world, he had to survive his own.

Grin And Bear It
Michael only ever wanted to be liked. To make people happy. For the most part it was easy. With a healthy childhood he gladly gave himself away and molded his life to fit everyone's expectations. A good boy who did as his mother told and followed where his father lead. Where his life went didn't matter. It was useless to him. All he cared about was pleasing those around him. Anything else in between was just to receive the small gesture of a smile from everyone he met. And so that childhood came and went at the mercy of others. As he grew older so did the thin tightrope he traversed to balance his growing unhealthy desires. With his easy high school years coming to a close his life slowly unravels without him realizing. Pulled in every direction he's entangled in the expectations he once craved. Not sure which path to travel anymore it's only a matter of time before the strands finally snapped. He grasps desperately for the one thing he believed he wanted, only to find what he truly needed is already out of reach. {Prequel in the "Living To Exist" series}
