Leon Octavian Sirus was the head scientist of the Median Empire's department of artificial intelligence.
He tried to play god by creating a world with true sentient life, though virtual. It is still a world with people that can learn, think, and feel and as always that action had consequences and one of them was his death by his own creations.
Despite commiting a grevious taboo, his world was succesful enough that instead of burning in the depths of hell, which is what this sociopath deserves, he is given the chance by his own world's guide to guide a race in a young world.
P.S. This awesome cover was made by the more awesome MikeWe.
I know it’s just a book, but I can not help thinking what was on this authors mind at that time. It’s worth the read
