The world is dead.Ren is just waiting to follow. Until he finds a system buried beneath the ruins—one that doesn’t promise power, but something far more impossible: Life.

Because in a dying world…even a single sprout is worth killing for. **First chapters will be long - typically 1-2k words each chapter in the future**
