From the ashes of a dying world, a god will rise. As an out of shape nerd, Gabriel Rivera had more pressing issues than outlandish things like godhood: Evacuating the city, joining the military, and protecting his family. Simple right? Everything changed when the PAC invaded. When the grim fate of his world is revealed, Gabriel joins the Reclaimer Project to save his family. A lowly F ranker, he's weaker than even the worst recruits. Good thing he's too stubborn for his own good. Through blood and sweat Gabriel aims to grow stronger and rise above the rest. Deadly traps lurk around every corner, mysterious factions move in the shadows, and dormant powers within him manifest in wild and dangerous ways. Battered, bruised, and beaten, Gabriel refuses to stay down. For only in the fires of The Crucible are legends forged.
