Hey everyone, Author here! As this is the first review for my new novel, I wanted to give you a quick, spoiler-free introduction to what you're jumping into. The story kicks off in the grimy, neon-drenched underbelly of a massive spinning city called Rusthaven. Our main character, Alex, is a street-smart scavenger just trying to survive. But when a single act of heroism throws him into the crosshairs of the powerful United Galactic Federation, he unlocks a terrifying and incredible ability: the power to absorb the unique abilities of super-powered 'Gene Core' users he touches. This is a fast-paced, action-packed sci-fi adventure. If you enjoy stories with: An Evolving Power System: Alex doesn't just get one power; he's constantly absorbing, combining, and learning to control new abilities in the heat of battle. A Deepening Mystery: What starts as a fight for survival quickly spirals into a hunt for the truth behind dark government conspiracies and ancient alien secrets. Gritty Cyberpunk Worldbuilding: Explore a dystopian world filled with rebel cells, ruthless crime syndicates, and monolithic factions, all with their own agendas. I wanted to write a story that feels like a thrilling ride, where the stakes are constantly raised and our hero is forced to adapt and grow. It's about discovering who you are when the universe tries to decide for you. If that sounds like your kind of story, I'd be honored if you'd give the first few chapters a read and add it to your library. Hope to see you in the chapter comments
