The laws of physics have broken, and the world has been divided into four nightmare domains. Humanity is no longer the predator; we are the fuel.  In the North, a "Matron" rules a sterile wasteland where the dead are "cured" of their humanity to serve as an undying army. In the South, a "Red Father" has turned the great rivers into literal arteries of plasma, farming humans like cattle for their blood. To the East, cities are encased in amber resin, consumed by an infinite insect swarm, while in the West, skyscraper-sized giants terraform the mountains into a vertical tundra of ice and crushing gravity.  Tariq Mathis was a physicist. Now, he is a living nuclear reactor. He hosts a monster, not a beast of fire, but a Lord of Entropy. Every step Tariq takes is a calculation; every touch he makes can trigger beta decay, rotting matter into dust. He is the engine of destruction, but his power is a curse: if he pushes too far, his human facade will crack, and he will vaporize into a permanent radioactive stain.  Beside him stands Zora, the "Celestial Weaver." Where Tariq is the void, she is the light, a conduit for the energy of a literal star. She can forge constellations and manipulate the gravity of battlefields, but someone has their eyes on her. And this attention will have grave consequences.
