Mark was never meant to be a hero. He was just a guy who loved motorcycles, and a girl named Mary. Then a stranger appeared and implanted the Core into his chest — a reactor containing the energy of the entire universe. Now Mark can do anything. He can lift cities. He can move faster than light. He can destroy planets with a single beam. And he just wants to rest. But the universe doesn't let him. Haunted by the memory of the world he couldn't save, Mark travels from galaxy to galaxy, saving civilizations from cosmic threats and alien warlords. He is the Warden, the Savior, the one who exists outside the edge of reality. But each battle pushes him closer to the 100% of his power — and 100% means the end of everything. Somewhere, in the shadows between worlds, a being who once held the Core watches him. He waits. He remembers. And he knows that every Warden eventually falls. A gripping Sci-Fi Epic with deep character drama, tactical battles, and a hero who carries the weight of the universe on his shoulders.
