"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.

Shattered Remnants of a Dream

Edward found his eyes drawn back to the chart of dig sites and extensive mining. Was this Zexaron's true goal? Was President McCarthy some sort of occult maniac using his fortune to pursue an impossible dream?


Vance's father felt a wave of anger rush over him, and suddenly he felt much more awake than he’d been in a long time. Memories of Victoria returned to his mind: how excited she had been when the company was doing well, all the dreams she had for Zexaron’s future.


He remembered the gleam she got in her eyes when she had a good idea, and he missed her more than ever. They’d first met twenty years ago in a small cafe in the city where he did construction work. Passing by, he saw a beautiful woman in the window with long inky hair wearing a simple black dress and sipping coffee. She possessed an otherworldly beauty that Edward had never laid eyes on before, and he was compelled to go in there and talk to her.
