A century after the Cataclysm - the emergence of the Gates and the rise of Hunters - humanity faces a silent invasion. The Kryll, an ancient alien race, are subtly reshaping Earth to serve as a colossal energy farm. Ethan Blake, a disgruntled programmer drowning in debt and self-loathing, is unexpectedly chosen by the 'Awakened Algorithm,' a mysterious AI. To survive, Ethan must overcome his physical and mental limitations, master the Algorithm's unconventional training methods, and become the bulwark against the Kryll. But the Kryll invasion is only a prelude. Prophecies whisper of a Third Calamity, one that could truly shatter reality, and Ethan's choices will determine whether humanity crumbles or rises to meet its ultimate test.
