"The world is yours...to destroy."

4 years ago, Vance's mother went missing. Everyone thought she was dead...but Vance knew better. What he did not know was that his search for her would take him across multiple parallel dimensions filled with psychotic killers, demented warlords, righteous angels and bloodthirsty demons. As Vance learns more about his lineage and his new surroundings, the stakes will rise, until his journey takes him to the end of the universe itself, and he comes face to face with the one who created it.

Those who enjoy descriptive, deep stories with plot threads linked across multiple chapters and strategic, action-packed battles will not be disappointed here. As human as it is otherworldly, at its core this story is about family, love, loss, and growth midst tragedy.

"What?" Cliff looked around frantically. "There are still assassins on the surface?"


Quickly, Vance leapt over the bushes in the backyard and moved out onto the street. Cliff and Eden followed him quickly, searching for the source of the sound.


Cliff was the first to discern the two distinct signals radiating from ahead. "It's over there! That must be the entrance!"


"Cliff, I feel it too," Eden said. "Two auras, right? Who are they?"


"The auras are fluctuating, which means they're fighting. Maybe one was trying to escape the base, and that's why they're on the surface."


"Let's go!" Vance said, growing impatient.


"No," Cliff said quickly. "I can feel more signals coming from inside. We'll approach quietly and wait for them to either leave the vicinity or do each other in. Only then will we proceed."


"Alright," Eden said, "but won't they notice us?"
