Sky was never meant to become a hero. He was meant to be the teacher that never stops learning.
He taught children to question what they were told and use knowledge for themselves. For that, Earth branded him a heretic and exiled him.
Awakening in Tartarus, Sky finds himself alive, stateless, and condemned by a world that has decided he belongs nowhere. Cold, torture, and monsters should have killed him. Instead, Dante teaches him, Tomoe fights beside him, and Lena, a child born in Hell, gives him something worth protecting.
Survival becomes defiance. Defiance becomes discovery.
His journey eventually carries him to Illetania, where he meets Fynja, an ancient AI guarding the ruins of the Streagrians. Their library contains knowledge humanity has not yet earned.
But Arcturus is dying.
To save the star, Sky must confront technology millions of years beyond human understanding.
He cannot become a god.
He can only do what humanity has always done.
Stand on the shoulders of giants.
