Arthur spent twenty years protecting others in the ring. Dying to protect his niece was supposed to be his final round. The universe had other plans. Instead of peace, Arthur wakes up with a gasping breath, a seventeen-year-old body, and a front-row seat to the apocalypse. The sky is bruised, three-story monster corpses litter the shattered streets, and the city he once knew has been replaced by a sci-fi nightmare of advanced tech and brutal ruin. To make matters worse, a flood of painful memories reveals that the boy whose body he now occupies wasn't just poor—he was despised, abandoned by his family, and branded a "curse" by everyone who knew him. In a world where giant Aberrations hunt the living and humanity's only line of defense is a high-tech task force known as the Nova-Five, being weak is a death sentence. But Arthur isn't a victim. He’s a fighter. When a rogue, sentient piece of forbidden technology—the Alpha Morpher—detects Arthur’s displaced soul as a cosmic singularity, it chooses him as its host. Caught between alien invaders plotting from the shadows, a military command center hiding deep secrets, and a hostile family reputation he didn't earn, Arthur must rebuild himself from the ground up. He survived the streets once. Now, he has to survive the end of the world.
