Description:
Nicolai is a centuries-old killer whose mind once piloted the militarized killbot Zero-Twelve. In New London, year 2493, he lived numb and efficient — a cog within a composite machine. Then Heaven arrived: a vast, godlike Stellar Engine reaching golden threads across galaxies to claim new worlds. One of those threads hooked Earth, and Nicolai was reborn.
Restored as flesh but haunted by old madness and a thirst for combat, he’s given one cryptic instruction: find the Lizard. Thrown into Nightmare — a brutal realm of Cultivation, Undead, Demons, Spirit Beasts, and feuding Sects — Nicolai must learn a new metaphysic of power where skill, cunning and scavenged resources matter more than mystical qi. He takes refuge in a ruined People’s castle, a battleground where wars older than humanity still finish themselves, indifferent to the new arrivals.
Part villain, part anti-hero, wholly unpredictable, Nicolai fights to control the dark urges beneath his civilized skin. He wants one thing above all: to be the greatest fighter alive. Expect gritty, earned power, razor-sharp manipulation, and consequences that bite. Cyberpunk tech, Cultivation mythos, and a merciless moral landscape collide — and the Modules from his killbot past are not gone for good.
For readers who want less popcorn and more blood, cunning and consequence: welcome to Heaven’s Great Game.
