This is the way the world ends — Not with a whimper, but a bang. It was the only thing running through Cedrick Jonkheer’s mind when the alien pylons made landfall.
The Intergalactic Imperium used their right of Eminent Domain to appropriate the planet to build a goddamned highway…and all Jonx got was a sarcastic AI and some superpowers.

‘Etherforging,’ his AI called it. Take the power that destroyed the world and make it his own.
