In a far-flung future where humanity has colonised the stars, evolution has taken a new leap. Powers once thought to be myths now lie dormant within the genes of every human, waiting to be awakened.The cosmos is governed by powerful factions, alien empires, and bio-enhanced elites.Those awakeners with unique abilities that could shape the fate of the galactic empire were called Overlords.Hex, a seemingly ordinary orphan who was born with a special physique, was withheld from graduation after defeating elite students who had awakened powers.Just as he thought his fate was sealed, on an unexpected day, he awakened his power.It was the ability to copy any talent or genetic ability, which was looked down upon by everyone on the list of superpowers due to a glaring weakness.The copied power wasn’t permanent.However, Hex’s ability had overcome that weakness.From physical strengthening to psychic control, from elemental manipulation to spatial distortion and even powers beyond imagination, he could copy them all.But such a gift comes at a cost.Once his secret was known, he would be hunted by empires, feared by Overlords, and sought after by secret societies. Hex would unknowingly become the most wanted entity in the galaxy.Thrown into an interstellar war, Hex must navigate political treachery, ruthless bounty hunters, and ancient forces that lie beyond known space in order to survive, as he builds his strength by mastering the powers of others.
