Nox Caelis died a failure, clutching the body of the boy who had bled out just to buy him a few more seconds of life.Then he woke up.The world is still quiet, but Nox knows the clock is ticking. He remembers how the sky peels back like a wound. He remembers the Gates dropping from the clouds and the "Authorities" that stepped through them-beings straight out of nightmare and myth. Archangels, war gods, and ancient primordials who treated humanity like an ant hill.But something is different this time. When the System scans Nox to slot him into a neat little category, it glitches.Authority: Unregistered.The gods are coming back to finish what they started, but they're walking into a trap. Nox isn't just preparing for the apocalypse anymore; he's becoming the one thing the System can't control.This time, he isn't the one who needs protecting.
