How the Stars Turned Red
Announcement as of 05 July 2022: I've been diagnosed with some pretty severe nerve damage in my left arm, rendering me unable to write effectively, and as such this story is on hold until it is healed. I am so sorry, and I promise to get back to writing as soon as possible. In the latter half of the 3rd millennium CE, humanity has spread across the stars, inhabiting close to five-hundred worlds across the Orion Arm. Earth has become irrelevant, a historical has-been. The galactic map is dominated by two mega-factions, both controlling vast amounts of territories either through direct control or through their many allies and treaty signatories. The Kingdom of Aurora is the political and economic hegemon despite consisting of only seven inhabited worlds; their strength lies in the Royal Union, an interstellar commonwealth composing an internal market and a common defence pact. These member worlds are myriad and varied, culturally as well as politically, but they all flock to the same banner. The Independent Systems Alliance, spearheaded by the Republic of Elysium, is the ascendant challenger to Aurora and the Union. A pseudo-federal multi-system polity, the Alliance economy and military is rapidly expanding, but at the cost of effective democratic and meritocratic involvement by its people. However, with two superpowers as this, chafing along a common border, and with a constant clamour of polemics, both sides have become convinced the other is constantly preparing for war and are on the look-out for any perceived weakness in their opponent. The predictable result is a huge arms race and a cold war spreading across the stars, requiring only a spark to set the galaxy aflame. Drawn into this game of high stakes are ordinary men and women, their peaceful lives, hopes, and aspirations swallowed by the vortex of conflict and distrust. This is their story. Cover art by Rhodex Designs (FB). Hope you like long chapters and adjectives. Note: English is not my first language. Another story set in the same universe, written by a good friend
8 95KEY to ABUSING the SYSTEM
The story of Jack. A human on a doomed world that lucked his way into discovering the biggest secret of the universal system. Given the keys to the system and thrown into a situation where humans are enslaved and used as tools read how he abuses every exploit he can find in an attempt to gain power quickly enough to survive those who would seek to take that wisdom from him. First-ever story and definitely a power fantasy. Let's see how much fun we can have with this. criticism on problems and funny "system story" exploits you can think of welcome.
8 158The OverGod
Warning: Tagged 18+ for sexual scenes, strong language, gore, and violenceThe Universe Particles or UPs, an unknown particle that appeared on Earth and infected all the living organisms, humans who got infected by this particle started to get sick and eventually they died. The leaders of that time employed thousands of scientists to search for the cure but to no avail. Five years later the cure still hadn’t been found but the number of deaths were increasing with each day, in these five years one billion of lives had been lost.Fearing the worst the Leaders of all countries came together and decided to build Twelve Stations underground where humans could seek shelter. Seven years later, two billions and half lives had been lost but all the stations were safely completed, but there was a problem…it couldn’t fit everyone… The leaders with this problem in hands could do nothing but choose the fittest and the best of the best in their field of work: farmers, doctors, researchers, soldiers, teachers, etc… ------------ ---------600 years later, humans are still underground…..In a white room a boy was tied on a metal chair...he never had a name, since he remembered everyone called him *Test Subject Number 7* at first he didn’t understand, but after some time he understood…He was just a Guinea Pig to these people.-----------x----------Note: English is not my native language, so bear with me please
8 54Copper Claws
Nora, the only survivor of the massacre of her town, My Little Wanderer, has moved on, lives her ordinary life, perfectly unaware of her twin sister’s ghost that is haunting her. Kara is a restless spirit. Trapped in her bitterness, anger, and jealousy, she watches her sister, following her every step. The only person in the world, who can see Kara, is her nephew, Jaro, who comes up with a plan to help her move on. But in order to do that they have to travel into the very heart of the treacherous Steppe, a place that is known for magic, both foul and not and inhabited by bandits, hunters, and strange, dangerous creatures.
8 73Where the Wretched Sleeps
Arka Arao plays video games competitively online to earn a living. She receives a package to test a virtual reality online game console set in a dark fantasy world called, Helsfate. One day, as Arka was heading back to the city after a grueling expedition, she encounters Stan and Lily, two players who had outrageous superhuman control on their player avatars. Arka had her suspicions of them, and she wanted answers. "We're demons," Stan said.
8 65The Nether Wolf [CURRENTLY ON HIATUS!]
THE AUTHOR IS TAKING SOME TIME OFF.NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SMALL HIATUS MENTIONED LATER ON THE DESCRIPTION. WRITING WILL RESUME LATER THIS MONTH (FEBRUARY). Don't you just hate it when you're walking home from school and you accidentally stumble into another dimension? And now you're stuck in there with no way out, thinking of what to do in this medieval kinda world. Well at least it seems safe...It seems that some people have problem with multiple POV (Point of View) characters and so I'm deciding to alter the description to mention, that sometimes in the story we see the world from other people's point of view than our MC's (Main Character). But there is a MC and the point of view changes are few, except for short point after the season 1 ends. These are mostly done to expand the world and introduce plot elements, nothing more.This story is written in manner of seasons, which aren't marked in the chapter titles and don't really affect your reading experience, but between the seasons are small, 2-7 day hiatuses so the writer can rest and plan.Oh, the website released a mature-content tagging rules, so here: Warning, Mature [17+] Violence,gore and occasional swearing. Mainly put it at 17+ so it doesn't restrict me, but story could be considered as 15+, no way 18+ though.
