Reclaimer

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.

Surviving Phase One was the first step in Gabriel's journey. And it came with consequences. Gabriel is cast out into the wastes by his rival. Deadly desert, merciless raiders, and strange visions stand between him and The Crucible. Quitting isn't in Gabriel's character, but death seems to be his destiny. Hope glimmers from an unlikely source: You can trust a Deadman right? When the anomalous events around Gabriel prove to be more than the hallucinations of a sunbaked mind, his whole world flips. These powers are dangerous, and he isn't the only one who thinks so.

The Crucible made him a warrior. It didn't prepare him to face the demons within. Reeling from the salvage site massacre, Gabriel wonders if he's a hero, a monster, or just a pawn in The Herald's games. Whatever the case: He's ready for war. Command has other plans. Enter the Proving Grounds: A site designed to test the Reclaimers' ability to survive a hostile environment with minimal supplies. Desperation is quick to turn allies into foes. And they aren't alone.

A world engulfed in flames. A future forged in blood. A chance to start over. Gabriel and the Reclaimers fight tooth and nail for humanity's survival. If only things were as simple as holding off a vast PAC army. The Winds of Destruction are blowing.

Explore, rebuild, restore. Those were Gabriel's priorities as commander of the Reclaimer mission. When you're shot out of the sky it's time to reevaluate your options. Lost, alone, and low on supplies, Gabriel finds himself in the bones of the old world. A beautiful, pristine place with the clearest skies and cleanest air. A wild and dangerous place where nature and magic have regained their hold. Monsters, beasts, and demons too stubborn to die out threaten humanity's future. But when faced with a Reclaimer, even those nightmares will learn fear.
