I believed this until I found myself tumbling into a dream. This dream takes me to another life.

Fearful of this new reality, Salem starts to ask questions that uncover the truth about his distant uncle, his long-gone father, and the true nature of the ship.

A man involved in a secret organization, plotting against the world’s ideas of religion and God, William Linberg created a formula mixed with a few people's blood to source the infusion to give humans abilities so they can look to the world as if they were gods themselves.
