《Omnia Sidera: Spaceship Soldier in the Fantasy World》PREFACE (Can be skipped, but please, at least read the small disclaimer before starting to read)
Advertisement
Hi everyone,
I want to take some time for a small preface to manage expectations and present my idea of where this series is going.
I sincerely hope you'll appreciate my work. If you do, leave a rating or a simple comment, it is always a huge boost to morale and a motivation to continue. Since I am posting as I write, there is a pretty high chance I might take in readers' input about the story (I have a pretty good idea where I am going but nothing is set in stone).
If you have more questions, you can either DM me or join the discord (link in the comment above and in the story description).
Have a nice one and take care!
DISCLAIMER
This is the first draft of the story.
The plotline and some details may change slightly (based on readers' suggestions or while editing) as long as I won't publish the final draft for volume 1.
I am not a native English speaker so there will be typos and my choice of words might sometimes be strange, or outright wrong.
If you find errors or plot holes, you are more than welcome to point them out.
I plan on revising everything and doing a heavy dose of editing when I am done with volume 1.
Please note that I will remove edit suggestions once they are addressed to unclog the comment section.
If you leave an edit suggestion, do not post it as part of a regular comment to avoid having the comment deleted at the same time as the edit suggestion.
If you do not want your suggestion removed for whatever reason, just write "do not remove" at the end and I won't do it.
MANAGING EXPECTATIONS
Setting
This is an isekai fantasy story before anything else, and the scifi elements are secondary. The main character will toy with futuristic technologies a lot but the setting - the world in which the story takes place - is a medieval fantasy world with magic, knights, gods, and shit.

Genres
It will start as a survival/discovery adventure and will eventually evolve into kingdom-building. There will be action and combat at both small scale (MC and crew) and large scale (army vs army) but nothing too pervasive or unjustified by the narrative. There might be some romance and slice of life, but this is not the main focus and will serve primarily to develop and shape the characters. There is no game/system elements.
Characters
MC is a spaceship soldier from thousands of years in the future of our own world that gets stuck in a fantasy world. His technologies and knowledge give him a clear advantage but he can still be threatened by, say, a giant dragon or unknown sorcery. He is by no mean an invincible power creep, even though he is quite powerful right off the bat by this world standards. There will also be a cast of support characters with their own POV, each with their own struggles, that I will try to explore and let grow through the series.
Progression
This is not a progression story where the MC gains insane new abilities and master everything new he encounters. There will be some progression, but mostly for characters from the secondary cast. The MC will get stronger, but it will be slow, and his strength will come from his allies, the infrastructures/kingdom he will build around him, and maybe, him slowly inventing and developing magitech.
Themes
The main thing that motivated me to start writing this story was to depict a clash of culture upon first contact between science and magic, so one of the main themes will be the technological gap, both magical and scientific, between two worlds. Each character of the main cast also has an arc or personal story that revolves around either coming of age, revenge/redemption, love and identity crises, or fate/fatality.

Pacing
It will not be a fast-paced story most of the time. There will be some light element of slice-of-life mixed in. I like worldbuilding and exploring my characters more than I do writing combat after combat scenes. I expect it will take about 30 chapters to present the setting and main cast, and about 30 more (probably more) before we get into the army/kingdom building part. Once everything is set up the way I like, I plan on speeding things up but I prefer to start with a smaller scope since it's my first attempt at writing, and believe I'll do better by starting small than if I jump into something too ambitious right off the bat.
Release rate
I post as I write, so there is no fixed schedule for new releases. Minimum 1 per month, maximum 2 per week, until Volume 1 is finished.

The Hopeful Project
A pair of twins stumble their way into the world of blood magic, lizard people, and cultivation powered mecha-armor. And by stumble, I mean one of them falls on their face while the other laughs. [Writathon Participant] People read this far? What are you doing down here? Escape! The chapter buttons are over there, stop reading this. No? Fine. This book is an excuse to put a world I spent around 3-4 months of my life building over the pandemic into writing. I was planning on doing the writathon last year, but somehow managed to confuse October and November. Dont laugh, I'm already ashamed enough. This book is about a pair of twins, doing twin things: calling each other names, going to school, learning how to use their blood to become unstoppable, juggernaut, killing machines... You know, twin stuff. It's like if someone stuffed a school arc inside of a tournament arc inside of a war arc. A good time, basically. I hope you enjoy it.

The Blackgloom Bounty
In the dark days before the end of the first millennium, Scotland (or Scotia as some called it) was a leaderless hodgepodge of tribes, clans and warring factions all bent on the same thing--domination of the land. Wizards, sorcerers and magicians still plied their trade, though much of their power had given way to the machinations of men and their war machines. To the south of Scotia lay the realm of the Saxons ruled by Ethelred the Unready and his ruthless minions. To the west, Ireland had just come of age. Everywhere else the constant threat of a lightning swift Viking incursion loomed over the land.Growing up in this lawless world is a displaced Daynin McKinnon, heir to an ancient familial keep on the island of Rhum. He and his grandfather Ean scratch out a living amongst the Saxons, careful never to divulge their clan heritage. That all changes when Kruzurk Makshare chooses Daynin as the ideal prospect to help him bring down a vile sorcerer named The Seed of Cerberus, ferreted away in his impregnable fortress at Blackgloom. Little does Kruzurk know that in so doing, he will launch young Daynin, himself and others on a vast, dangerous quest that no one could have foreseen. *****One Hollywood producer has dubbed this three book fantasy epic from Jon Baxley as, "BRAVEHEART meets THE LORD OF THE RINGS." Real places, people and events flesh out this fast moving, multi-faceted semi-historical series but fear not fantasy readers. There's more than enough of the magical, mystical mayhem you have come to expect from great fantasy. Romance readers, too, will enjoy the 'spice' in these characters--and there are a lot of them--both human and otherwise. And if you're into Viking lore, this series certainly is for you.When someone asks the author about his series, he answers with, “There were far more surprises in this tale than I ever expected and it's not over yet! This volume and the next two contain hundreds of pages filled with rollicking good times, fast moving action and a page turning adventure you will not soon forget."Books In The Scythian Stone Saga:THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY Episode 1 - 500 pagesTHE REGENTS OF RHUM Episode 2 - 800 pagesTHE SCIONS OF SCOTIA Episode 3 - 800 pages
