The first attempt at faster-than-light travel was meant to be humanity's greatest triumph. For him-a farm boy turned self-taught engineer-it was the chance to chase the stars. Instead, it wrecked his ship beyond repair and hurled him into the unknown.
Stranded in a cosmic labyrinth, he stumbles upon a living world of jungles and rivers, proof that life thrives where no human chart has ever reached. But the Nebula never stands still. Each step forward pulls him into stranger realms-alien civilizations of dazzling beauty, wonders that defy reason, and dangers that demand both courage and ingenuity.
With only his stubborn grit and engineer's mind to rely on, he fights, bargains, and survives-becoming a mercenary in a universe that reshapes itself at every horizon. One purpose drives him forward: find a way home.
But as he journeys deeper, the stars themselves seem to whisper the truth: in the Lost Nebula, there may be no way back at all.
