Me18

A soul out of place.
A universe out of balance.
A mission no one can know exists.

Sebastian Dalton awakens in a world that shouldn't know him—in a body that isn't quite his own—with memories that defy the laws of reality. Shadows ripple beneath the surface of a galaxy marching toward catastrophe, and something deeper than war is unraveling behind the scenes.

Guided by a voice no one else can hear and shaped by forces older than time, Sebastian must navigate a reality built on shifting truths. The future hinges not on conquest, but on subtle correction. And if he fails, what falls may not be just one galaxy.

In the end, he isn't here to fight fate.
He's here to replace it.
