Metavores. Savage creatures from outer space that devour life energy.
They came without warning and brought the world to its knees in an instant.
Humanity was cornered… until they discovered the Core—the source of the Metavores’ power—and turned it into their last hope.
In response, the world formed the Aether Corps, elite military academies, and advanced war tech to fight back.
Everyone rushed to become a hero.
Everyone… except one guy.
Deren.
A genius young man who wants no fame, no battles, and definitely no hassle.
All he wants is a peaceful life, afternoon naps, and to quietly make a fortune by selling his inventions through the underworld.
Unfortunately, fate had other plans.
One misunderstanding after another, failed weapons that are way too advanced, and a business that exploded behind his back…
All of it pulls Deren right into the center of the world stage.
The problem?
Deren just wants to buy some bread and go back to sleep.
