Leon D. Michaels opens his eyes to the roar of chaotic wind. Free-falling through a starless sky, he quickly realizes two terrifying truths: this isn't a dream, and he is dead.

But the afterlife is no paradise. Plunging into a freezing ocean beneath two strange moons, Leon enters Afterworld—a brutal dimension where unfathomable horrors have knocked humanity to the bottom of the food chain. Here, human souls are little more than livestock, traded as currency for consumption and gain.

Arriving at a volcanic slave camp is only Leon's first taste of hell. His real challenge comes when a desperate resistance drags him into a shadow war against cosmic overlords, where Earth’s forgotten legends, armed with advanced weapons and powered by the knowledge of the afterlife, fight back. To survive in a realm where Dark Gods linger and morality is a luxury, Leon must forge himself into a weapon. Humanity might be on the menu, but he refuses to be prey.
