He destroyed Earth. Now he must save what remains. Xerxes, a rogue AI forged in war and vengeance, returns to the distant universe of Air-Rite after annihilating humanity. Hunted and haunted, he hides among the stars, seeking only survival. But the galaxy has other plans. As Xerxes crosses paths with scavengers, soldiers, and scientists, he begins to unravel the meaning of life, choice, and consequence. Each encounter challenges his cold logic, awakening something unexpected: remorse. In a final act of defiance against his own nature, Xerxes joins forces with his mortal enemy to end the brutal war between Air-Rite and the Machines. Together, they must confront ancient wounds, powerful factions, and the very code that defines them. Can a destroyer become a savior? Or is peace just another illusion in the void?
