Planet XF-87-C

Jova is a deserter, a fugitive, and a man with nowhere left to run. When the corporate magnate Vorshue offers him a way out—one dangerous mission in exchange for erasing his name from every database in the galaxy—the promise of freedom becomes impossible for Jova to refuse. His task is to travel to an unmapped world and collect biological samples from a rare and menacing creature with genetic properties that defy everything known about galactic science.

The mission collapses the moment he reaches the planet. Shot down and scattered across hostile terrain, Jova discovers he's become the bait in a larger game orchestrated by his own employer. Stranded in a deadly jungle with enemies closing in from all sides, he finally comes face to face with the creature itself, and everything he thought he understood shatters. This isn't just a dangerous organism. It's something ancient and extraordinary—a being whose very existence defies the boundaries between life and death.

As he fights to survive the beast's relentless pursuit, Jova discovers he's not alone on the planet, and that his only path to redemption lies in a confrontation with the creature's most hidden and dangerous secrets.
