About this listen

What if humanity’s next stage of evolution wasn’t discovered…But engineered?

Elliot Voss spent decades pursuing a singular vision.

Until he found a way to rewrite the rules of life itself.

In secret, the billionaire futurist cured disease.Then he cured aging.Then… he vanished.

Now, without warning to anyone but a chosen few, the world is preparing to change.

The System will overlay the entire planet, bringing real stats, real levels, and three paths to evolution: Combat Class, Profession, and Race. But this isn’t a game. No do-overs. No respawns. And no one—not even the elite—is exempt.

As a handpicked team enters the first Tutorial shard, they must race to prepare Earth for its eventual induction into The System.

But Voss didn’t just want humanity to become stronger. He wanted it to become wiser. More compassionate. Worthy of the gifts to come.

In the end,

No one will remain unchanged.

For fans of: progression fantasy, LitRPG, character-driven sci-fi, expansive worldbuilding, and stories that explore not just what we can become… but what we should.
