Hulk was a pro football player, a guy who loved nothing more than clutching a pigskin and barreling through the defense like a runaway freight train. He lived for the gridiron.

But he never, in his wildest dreams, imagined he'd see a pair of nipples bigger than a football. 

He became a giant baby, reborn with a new name: Orion.

Orion was the runt of the giant litter, the weakest of the bunch.

But when he turned ten, something crazy happened. He saw a strange panel – that not only displayed his stats but also helped him level up. 

With the panel's help, and a whole lot of elbow grease, Orion led his giant tribe to become the most powerful in the Barren Mountains. 

He went from zero to hero, becoming a mighty Titan King. He was no longer the runt; he was the top dog.

"Our birth is inextricably limit-locked to the Survivor's Platform," the Commander mused, swirling the wine in his horn. "We are born belonging to the Ash Pantheon. Before we ascend to Demigod, we are merely 'Ash Seeds'—expendable assets."


Orion remained silent. The veil shrouding the Survivor's Platform was being lifted, inch by inch.
