Chapter 1 Excerpt:
> The last thing Nathan remembered was the smell of rain. A storm had rolled in fast, blackening the sky like spilled ink. Then came the flash — white-hot, impossibly loud. His heart skipped, his vision tunneled, and then… silence.
"You were wasted in that life," said a voice, deep and resonant, echoing in the black. "How would you like a new one? A world of chaos, where gods walk among men — yet none worthy of worship?"
Nathan couldn't move, couldn't speak — but he felt seen.
"I grant you dominion over the skies and the strength of suns. Rise, Elias Storm. Your trial begins."
When he opened his eyes again, he was naked, alone, and lying in an alley under a billboard: "Vought International Welcomes You to the Age of Heroes."
A new age indeed.
