I thought the world sucked but as a literal slave to society what choice do I have? Evil, I don't know... Then the world changed, and I'm now the savior of the universe? What the hell? This is my story, and it could be long one. Hope you have the time to follow me on my journey.

The Cosmos is more vast than can be conceived, and in its immensity are contained wonders, each of which are immeasurably more unique and wonderful than the last.

Ideologies, religions and the thirst for profit are the pretext for incessant wars. It's in this universe that a noy so clever smuggler finds himself at the heart of events that could change the future of all humankind.
