Four Wives, One Scorch King

A scavenger rescues four women via a future system to survive a scorched Earth.

On a furnace-hot Earth where water buys life and women are owned, scavenger Evan Cross activates a cryptic system beamed from tomorrow. It demands he extract four specific women from lethal danger or perish in the heat. Each successful rescue rewrites his genetics, granting new abilities that transform him from a desperate drifter into a contender capable of commanding the wasteland.
