The Rise of Ares

Born into a world where long life and any dream can become reality, Ares doesn’t have that luxury. The solar system has become stagnant and corrupt in the post-technological revolution. As he tries to even the odds against the Rachten—those wealthy enough to afford genetic manipulation and enhancement—Ares becomes mired in debt to the Bank; which always gets its dues.

When he can't meet his schedule, he tries to disappear.

But there is nowhere to hide in a universe where everything, and everyone, is an eye.

Still, he tries. His flight takes him on a journey across a solar system on the verge of change, plagued by dissonance (despite the shiny veneer of the inner system), technological and engineering marvels, and strange rumors from the Oort that have the solar system on edge. 

However, he soon discovers there is more to events in his life than he ever realized. That realization, that he is a pawn in a game he can’t even fathom, sends him spiraling down a slow, dark, madness.
