Daybreak Over Humanity

Book 3

by Lucent Steele

Humanity's next evolution begins at dawn.

The awakening begins.
The world will never be the same.

Across the globe, two miracle elixirs arrive without warning: Vitalyx and Rejuvenex, promising perfect health and near eternal lifespan.

Governments scramble to control them.
The rich and powerful try to hoard them.
Ideological leaders denounce them.
Conspiracy theories explode across social media.

But the serums are only the beginning.

At midnight, eight billion people close their eyes for the last time in the old world. While they sleep, nanites flood the atmosphere, mysterious forges rise from the earth.

The System takes hold, and reality itself begins to shift.

Some will call it humanity’s greatest leap forward.
Others, the end of everything they’ve ever known.
But when the new day breaks, one truth will be undeniable:

The age of ordinary humans is over.

The System has awakened.
And with it, humanity’s true potential.

Daybreak Over Humanity is Book Three of The Ascension Framework, a sweeping, world-spanning progression saga that blends science, technology, and the boundless ambition of humankind. For readers of The System Rises and Liminal Dawn, this next volume ignites the dawn of a new era.

About the Author

Lucent Steele writes stories about what happens when humanity collides with destiny, when the impossible becomes inevitable.

His books weave light LitRPG System mechanics with near-future science fiction and deeply personal character arcs. At their heart, they’re about growth: leveling up, pushing past limits, and finding out whether humanity is truly ready for the power it has always dreamed of obtaining.

Lucent’s debut series, The Ascension Framework, explores a future where nanotech, karmic systems, and alien incursions force humanity to confront what it’s truly made of. The first four books are available on Amazon now, with the fifth coming in Summer of 2026.

His second series begins with "Cardinal Velocity," and is a fast-paced, high-octane thriller LitRPG, where the same man in three universes is inducted into the System at the same time. One is a Navy SEAL, the second an elite major league pitcher, and the third a cybersecurity genius. They must each race to become strong enough for what is coming. Book two, "Cardinal Counterweight" will be published in the Fall of 2026.

Lucent spent his career in sales in the steel industry and is passionate about sustainability and the future of humanity.

He lives in Michigan with his wife, their dog Minnie, and their cat Kiki.
