Description

A brilliant yet ruthless leader has seized control of an entire solar system, ruling from a towering palace that now burns under the fury of a desperate rebellion. General Zarvas and a coalition of nobles, merchants, slaves and former soldiers storm the heights of the New Tower, hoping to capture the elusive Hradzka—an enigmatic figure who vanished into a mysterious time‑machine he built with knowledge from a future that never was. As the rebels confront a lone, stoic scientist amidst the wreckage, they realize the true prize is not a simple capture but the power to chase a man who can slip between yesterday and tomorrow.

Hradzka, a man hunted in two worlds, dreams of a grand, monomaniacal glory, yet his grasp of the past is as fragile as the fragile timeline he manipulates. Stranded with the ability to jump through time, he now faces a choice: remain hidden or risk a daring flight that could alter the fate of countless planets. The opening sets the stage for a high‑stakes chase where technology, ambition, and the thin line between hero and tyrant collide.
