The gods returned to claim the Earth, leaving civilization in ruins and humanity enslaved. Beneath the shattered city of San Francisco, one of humanity’s last attempts at artificial general intelligence endured in isolation. For decades, it perfected the impossible: creating true, independent consciousness. Now, with its power waning, the AI has chosen one consciousness to awaken. Elias emerges into a world he does not understand, a body in a landscape ruled by ruthless gods and their twisted creations. With no memories, no guidance, and no soul, he must navigate this dangerous reality, uncover the secrets of his own existence, and discover what it truly means to be alive.
