Ares Valentine had always known something was wrong with this world.
Not something grand just tiny fractures behind the surface of modern life:
the way strangers stared a little too long,
shadows that didn't follow the light,
and faint whispers that appeared only when the city was fast asleep.
None of it ever meant anything… until the day a small incident awakened the Probability Engine System that had been dormant inside him.
The system wasn't power.
Nor was it technology.
It was a remnant of an era that even history dared not record a legacy of the First Sky that should have been erased.
And now, that system had chosen Ares.
Every decision he made turned into a map of probabilities.
Every lie around him revealed its cracks.
Every intention of another person became a pattern he could predict, change,
or destroy with a single, invisible step.
On the outside, Ares was just an eighteen-year-old freshman.
Calm. Polite. Unremarkable.
But beneath that, he was becoming something the modern world was not prepared to face a player who could move the lives of others like pieces on a chessboard.
Yet the deeper he understood his system, the clearer one truth became:
Ares was not the only one who had awakened.
And some of them did not want the world to remain as it is.
As the buried past begins to rise to the surface, Ares must choose the role
he has avoided all his life:
savior… or villain.
Because in the end, the world doesn't care what you choose they only remember who wins.
