This is a tale of a man on a journey to becoming the creator of gods and monsters, and he doesn’t care how many lives he has take to make that happen.

Once he was human, but with the power of a System in his hands he is reborn as the embodiment of giving. A living sentient world. A creature so rare in the cosmos that all being throughout infinity will stop at nothing to enslave or destroy.

But is Holstein as much of a giving world as the soul that possesses it? Or will John abandon his current [WORLD SYSTEM] for a better and more violent one?

Author’s Note.

Spoilers ahead. Skip to the next chapter if you’re not interested.

I’m not going to lie. Most people may or may not like this book. Reason being:
	1.	John is a borderline villain.
	2.	I built this world to explain the setting of all of my future books. John exists for the lore. He is not a hero or anti-hero.
	3.	There will be a lot of likable characters. None will have a happy ending.

You know what I hate? Plot armor. So I thought, “Why not create a throwaway book built for lore but not for the familiar content we all know and love?”

So I created John Holstein—the guy who could’ve had it all if his greed and negligence hadn’t gotten in the way.

I wrote this book with the idea that there could have been plot armor… but every time John gets a win… well… let’s just say bad things follow.

With that, I hope you enjoy my book with the full knowledge that things aren’t as they seem. Enjoy!
