《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.

Of Gods and Dungeons
March 16, 2021 - Hiatus note: I will come back to this story! I'm really struggling with it, though. It's been a number of years and I kind of forgot what the original outline was. I still remember the main path, but not any of the details, because I stupidly didn't write an outline. Progress is being made. I'd like a very decent sized buffer before I start posting again. Don't want to get hopes up only to immediately disappoint! ----- Amy Barnes, an aspiring chemical researcher, finds herself dying from cancer. One of her most desperate prayers is answered in a way that she'd never dreamed possible, and she finds herself living a new life as a dungeon. Warning: Violence, morbidity Cover: Taken from here, courtesy of www.pexels.com by photographer @tookapic. Author's Note: I've read some dungeon core stories on here, and they've tickled my fancy. I've thought up a whole story, start to finish, and thought it'd be a blast to put it into words. Other than the violent and morbid aspects, this story is suitable for children. Aside from the vocabulary, that is. I will avoid the temptation to have any cursing, sexuality, or gore. Excessive gore, I suppose - it is a dungeon story, after all. I’ll do a little research from time to time, but this story will not have a great deal of rigor. I’ve made Amy’s knowledge comparable to my own for that reason. There’s a few things she knows more about than I do, and a few things that she knows less about. Unlike me, she doesn’t have access to Google - it’s a non issue for her to be more knowledgeable than me, on occasion :P This story does not use the same magic system that I’ve used in either Sorcery in Boston or A Summoner’s Confession. This one is mostly intention based, and designed to be easier access for people who are more used to the idea of, “It’s magic, therefore it works” kind of thinking. Do note that Amy is, in most senses of the term, overpowered. This goes along with the usual dungeon core stories. She’s not more powerful than other dungeons per se, but she does have knowledge and intelligence that puts them to shame. I thought about doing this in a LitRPG style, but systems take balance, and I wanted this to be pure fun to write.This story was inspired from a few sources. Despite the title, it wasn’t really inspired by Of Mice and Men, though some of the themes match. Rather, I’ve taken inspiration from a few dungeon core novels on Royal Road Legends for the main idea. Many conventions of dungeon core stories have been perverted from the genre, however. I’ve taken my usual science-loving self to town to play around with the powers, and I can only hope you have half as much fun reading this as I have had writing it.

[French] Le chat de Schrödinger - An Ephyria Story
Une fille, ayant vécu l'enfer par deux fois, est devenue un paradoxe. Morte, mais vivante. Présente mais absente. Son existence même est remise en cause par le monde lui-même. 1 chap / semaine (le dimanche) au mieux. Je suis étudiant, donc il est possible qu'il n'y est pas de chapitre durant certaines semaines, bien que j'essayerais de faire des chapitres, même s'ils sont courts (peut-être un chapitre extra ?) Au sujet de la fiction, il y aura peut-être un harem, mais que des femmes ! Pourquoi ? Pourquoi pas. Je ne me sens juste pas à l'aise d'écrire sur un homme faisant l'amour à mon personnage. Et oui, il y aura des citrons, mais pas de suite. Aussi, le texte sera très cru. Si jamais, pour une quelconque raison, un des personnages voit un pénis, j'écrirais clairement que c'est un pénis. De même pour la femme.
