Ryan Carter was just a regular American teenager an introvert, a martial arts hobbyist, and a die-hard fan of the sci-fi epic Swallowed Star. He knew every twist, every fight, and every cultivation path Luo Feng took to rise from a student to a cosmic powerhouse.
But he never expected to wake up inside the story.
Struck by lightning during a storm, Ryan dies… only to awaken as Si Feng, the 14-year-old son of a fallen Wargod in a crumbling base city. The monsters are real. The Wargods are few. Humanity is barely surviving.
And he’s not alone.
Every simulation is a chance to grow. Every choice, a step closer to the peak.
But the world is changing faster than the novel ever told him. Secrets buried in his father’s death. Alien forces moving in the shadows. And a timeline that may no longer be what he remembers...
He read the story. Now he has to survive it.
The stars are watching. Can he rise before they devour him?
