Meet Z-a genetically enhanced planet scout with a secret. His disgraced, deceased father didn't just pioneer the tech used on other scouts; he created the nanites flowing through Z's veins, granting him near-immortality.
Z's mission was simple: land on his assigned planet, declare it unfit for colonization, and disappear into a peaceful exile-alone and far from the mess humanity left behind. But the universe, as usual, didn't care about his plans.
Instead of a barren world, Z crash-lands on a lush, seemingly primitive one-populated by humans. Worse, one of the other scouts is already here, using advanced tech and mythology to pose as a god, ruling over the locals as part of a self-made pantheon.
Guided by the voice of his crazy prepper Uncle Z now faces a brutal choice: vanish into the wilderness and hope he stays hidden... or step out of the shadows and confront the false gods-becoming either one of them, or their worst enemy.
