When the world ended, Clayton Hunt was just another street survivor scavenging for scraps, fighting for breath in a crumbling society on the edge of ruin.

Then the sky cracked open, and the Genesis Protocols began.

Dragged into Echoterra, a nightmarish trial world where survival rewrites your very soul, Clayton awakens. Not as a man, but as a seed… a goddamn seed!

Stripped of his body, his memories locked behind suffocating layers, he must claw his way upward from the dirt, evolving into something far beyond human.

The first trial is brutal and simple.

Facing monstrous rivals, parasitic invaders, and the harsh reality of nature’s cruelty, Clayton battles not only to grow but to dominate; harnessing a feral, plantlike instinct he never knew lurked inside him.

Along the way, fragments of his past leak through, reminding him who he was… and hinting at the terrifying power he might yet awaken.

But survival isn’t enough. In a world where strength writes the law and weakness spells extinction, Clayton won’t just grow. He’ll thrive. 

And when he finally returns to the real world, it won’t be as a scavenger.

It will be as a conqueror.

Clayton reacted, staring at the collapsing biomechanical titan, watching as 15 meters of chrome vines, molten Embers, and a pulsing Nexus core gave way to the destruction that now ravaged through it.


But he didn't have the luxury to stay looking at the collapsing biomechanical titan more, because his own body suddenly pulsed.


It was a process that Clayton was all familiar with, having felt and craved only it during his crazy time fighting against a world that tried to devour him back in Echoterra.


His hybrid form pulsed, Genesis Embers igniting his core.
