《Moniker's Mana》Chapter 1
Advertisement
The royal demon kin are eating in a large dining room inside of a small mansion.
"I'M GOING TO GET THE BOTTOM OF THE DUNGEON!"
A beautiful young lady is arguing with her brother. She long purple hair. She is draped in a red dress similar to the color of blood. She has pale skin that only made her lips more alluring. Her mother replied.
"Its good to have dreams, Scarlet but the royal dragon knights have been trying to get to the bottom of this dungeon for decades now and no one has done it."
Scarlet's father draped in black with red slicked back hair said:
"Your mother is right dear."
"I'm going to do it, just watch me!"
The father seemed intrigued. A devilish smile slowly grew on his face. He had an idea. He then explained.
"Let's make a deal. Whoever clears the dungeon first out of you two will be next in line for the throne."
"FATHER?!"
The boy replied.
"Is there something wrong Rin?[1]"
The boy looked sullen. He couldn't muster up an answer.
"Alright, then I will take that as a no. Whoever clears the dungeon first will be the next in line for the throne."

"What is this place?"
There sat a boy in a pitch-black room surrounded with odd blue lights in the air.
"Woah. What are these?"
The boy had silver hair and both of his eyes were a mix of gold and silver. He had pale skin and was garbed in a simple grey robe and black boots.
The boy decided to touch one of the blue lights. It changed color from blue to gold. The lights near it changed color as well and combined. Soon there was a golden flame in the palm of his hand. It sparkled and shimmered to his whim. The boy's eyes lit up in excitement. He held out his other hand. Soon a silver flame with a brilliance that would lose out to the golden flame began to form. He then began experimenting with the elements over and over through the years, decades, and centuries. He found fire, water, light, darkness, lightning, wind. He also found a way to control something different, something not quite like the others. With genuine struggle, he figured out how to control aether. He could take away the thing which allows the world to work. With that, he found a way to control gravity. He also found a way to shorten space and make a portal from one place in his pitch-black room to another place in his room.

He didn't try to go out of his room because he didn't know there was more than just his room in the world. He was contempt with his prison as well. For some reason whenever he used the light element the room never lit up. The darkness was stubborn and didn't want to leave him.
One day(he didn't know what days were) he was doing his normal thing until the lights(mana) suddenly disappeared when he touched them. He was confused at first, but then he realized that he absorbed the mana. He could feel it. His body got stronger. His already superhuman strength body strengthened further.
"I'll call this enhancing."
Little did he know he was speaking in a tongue that only the gods still use and was forgotten by humans and demons.

Code Name: GLITCH
Major Xiomar Haydn is a damn good soldier, and an even better mechanic, although he does have a tendency to get himself thrown into the stockades for getting on the general's bad side. To keep him busy and out of trouble, Xiomar is assigned the task of repairing an old Mech that hasn't been touched in fifteen years. He knows he can fix it--he's Chief Mechanic. What he doesn't know, however, is that GLITCH has a mind of its own. Literally. In the midst of a war between two countries, Xiomar and his newly-repaired Mech are caught in the middle. The enemy is trying to obtain GLITCH's technology... the power to give their own Mechs sentience and dominate the world. Xiomar finds himself pondering the morality of forcing a sentient being to fight on his behalf, and what that means for him as a dutiful soldier. With the future filled with uncertainty, Xiomar and GLITCH are certain of one thing--no one's going down without a fight.

Campaign: A Project Starfarer Sidestory
This novel’s lore, story and characters are entirely fictitious. Certain long-standing countries, institutions, organizations, agencies, and public offices are mentioned, but their histories and the characters involved are wholly imaginary. "What will you do with your freedom?"Growing up in a meritocracy, infamous for being lawless, Jordan Astros had been repeatedly asked this question, since times unmemorable. In a society where one's accomplishments and skills were tallied and ranked in order to determine one's standard of living however, Jordan quickly grew to understand that 'freedom,' was a reward earned by accumulating Merit. And so, after his 17th birthday, Jordan departed his Clan's habitat in orbit of Europa to embark on his century-long journey to rise from E-Ranker to S-Rank. And spread his name throughout the Galilean Powers. *** Campaign is a sidestory within its NanoPunk parent series, Project Starfarer. (Yet to be published. Be on the lookout for it!) In which the first transhuman known to humanity, the Starfarer, invokes a plan to seed terrestrial life throughout the galaxy. Campaign takes place around the middle of that timeline and explores the life of a key figure in that universe, Jordan Astros. And explores one of four great nations thriving in the Solar System during that time. A Meritocracy that spans Jupiter and its 79 moons, The Galilean Powers. What you'll find in Campaign: Brutal melee combat in airless and pressurized low gravity environments. A technology based progression system influenced by merit and accomplishments; using tech that's theoretically possible to exist in the near-future. An exploratory perspective of the dozens of Galilean societies, or 'Powers,' from Jordans; and sometimes others', POV. What you wont find: Romance. Harems. An MC who receives shortcuts, handouts, learns things unnaturally fast or has OP plot armor. Jordan is not a special individual. Jordan is not OP and he likely never will be. He's no different than any other citizen in the Galilean Powers and will certainly face as many defeats as he does wins. He'll suffer losses and grow as an individual, while the Powers evolves around him as well. This is semi-hard sci-fi/NanoPunk and takes place in a fictional version of our future solar system. Centered around technology that's plausible in the near-centuries to come. Everything abides by the laws of physics/thermodynamics (As best that I understand them, at least. I'm no scientist.) No artificial gravity, inertial dampeners, teleportation, FTL, or hand-wavy materials will be found in the Project Starfarer universe. Just advanced automation, nanotechnology, cybernetics and AI. Set in the backdrop of space. *I do not own the photo used for the cover*
