Offer me every impossibility in the world: the courage of the cowardly, the tears of the heartless, the repentance of the vile, the loyalty of the oathbreaker.
Weave me a robe and crown.
Cast your hearts into the furnace, and you shall attain eternal life.
But your eternal summer shall never fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st.
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
-Shakespeare, Sonnet 18

Gale Galvin, a genius magician almost equal to a god, dies and frees his soul from the confines of time and space. He travels to countless worlds to gather precious materials and forge a divine spark for the God of True Love and Lies.
Gale: I will summon the sun, moon, and stars to come to me. I will claim a power unmatched in all the world, and use it to conquer death and all that is meaningless!
Samuel: With your lies, of course, and with love.

A selection of worlds, in no particular order:
Immortal vampire / Last human
Alien invader / Earth's night watchman
