For centuries, humanity has fought a losing war against the alien Xa’tarii. Every attempt to unite has ended in failure, every plan foiled by betrayal, greed, or fear. 

Talon Graves is one man trapped in an endless cycle, reliving the fight over and over in a desperate attempt to find the path that will save humanity.

This is his story, from the first life where he was just a kid. To the hundredth and beyond, trapped in an endless cycle. 

Each step, each decision, brings him closer to breaking the cycle or losing himself entirely.

Perhaps even both.

Will Talon’s hope be enough to defy fate, or will humanity fall to its own flaws once more?

Hello everyone! If you’ve made it this far into the summary, and I still haven’t convinced you to click on that first chapter, let me share a little more about what you can expect from this book.

This story offers a unique power system, one inspired by cultivation but with my own twist to make it truly distinct. It’s a universe where intergalactic warfare takes center stage, featuring everything from the awe-inspiring World Enders who can destroy planets with a thought, to the smallest soldiers fighting tooth and nail for survival. Every individual matters, and every battle leaves its mark.

In this universe, it’s all about scale. Even a world-ending Super is just one piece of a much larger puzzle. When wars span entire galaxies and civilizations vie for dominance across universal borders, the impact of a single Super, no matter how powerful, is often a morale boost or the elimination of key high-profile targets, including enemy World Enders themselves. 

Victory here isn’t determined by raw strength alone but by strategy, sacrifice, and the countless individuals who shape the tide of war.

So, if you’re looking for a story that combines relentless action, intricate power systems, and the weight of interstellar stakes, then this might just be the book for you. I hope you’ll give it a chance, click that first chapter, and let’s dive in together.

P.S. I’ll be writing this for the long haul, so if you’re expecting a gritty, determined, and powerful individual right from the start, this isn’t that kind of story. Instead, you’ll follow a journey of growth, struggle, and transformation as Talon learns to navigate a brutal universe and carve his place in it.

Enjoy!

Fragments of Eternity

Talon's eyes fluttered open, his body stiff and his breath heavy. The ceiling above him was bare metal, illuminated by a faint amber glow from recessed lights.

He blinked a few times, his mind struggling to piece together where exactly he was. He knew he must have already arrived at the acadamy, but his last memory was stepping into the cryo pod and the coldness seeping into his skin.

The sound of movement pulled him out of his thoughts. He turned his head to see Jason groaning as he sat up on a cot nearby, rubbing his eyes.

Kieran stretched, his expression neutral but alert. Luna was already standing, scanning the room.

The room was empty, metal walls, cots lining one side, and a single heavy door. Another group of four cadets stood at the far end, none of whom Talon recognized.

They were whispering among themselves, but their cautious glances toward Talon's squad made it clear they were equally unsure of the situation.
