world where power scales exponentially, a newborn child is normally a zero. Deus Alpheus is the ultimate exception.Forged from the combined essence of three boundless, cosmic entities who erased reality and fiction just to build a playground, Deus was destined to be a God. There’s just one catch: his creators sealed his true potential away, leaving him to grow up isolated deep within the cosmic library tree, Yggdrasil.To the outside world, twelve-year-old Deus looks like a failure. While normal children boast an Asa Moya count of 120, Deus sits at a measly 54. What the world doesn't know is that his divine blueprint doesn't scale normally. While mortals square their power (x²), Deus cubes his (x³). At a count of 54, he is already dense enough to pulverize kingdoms.Armed with a 310 IQ, instant memorization, and a legendary katana forged from the Sun and Moon, Deus is a tactical powerhouse—even if he is a bit socially awkward and panics over library mice.But his peaceful isolation shatters when a bloody, five-day-old fugitive collapses into his sanctuary. Her name is Elle Aspen. She is a runaway human experiment with a staggering, artificial baseline of 500 Asa Moya, made from the very leaves of his home.With a corrupt human empire hunting down his new friend and a brutal Vampire nation holding half the world, the sealed god must finally step out of the shadows.
