Welcome to the world of genetic aristocracy! Where the eternal Apostles rule. The only ones who have not become infected with the mysterious disease that devours every other man after adulthood. What about the rest? They need to undergo Initiation. Prove that they are fit to continue the family line. But it's not that simple. After all, in order to stay alive you need to defeat and “devour” your own father, taking away his intact DNA. And if you also have ancient artificial intelligence living in your head, which gives you some advantages in exchange for certain services, then everything becomes much more more confusing. So soon real chaos will begin under the dome of Great Yekaterinburg. The Gene Expression Ritual gives only one chance! Use it wisely! Author's notes: I don't pretend to have a completely new style, but I wanted to create something non-standard and unique. The book is at the intersection of the genres of RealRPG, boyar anime and cyberpunk with a slight dash of dystopia. Whether it worked out or not is up to you, gentlemen, readers. !On my own behalf, I can only promise a stable display of fresh food every day. And yes, your genes will be pure, and your family will be strong! Cover exclusive work by Elena Elis
