...[...]...In the mind realm of The Lover of the Universe, on the embattled planet of Poxitarium, a world known for its violent history and fractured unity, the multi-species inhabitants, known collectively as the Poxits, fight to defend the last remnants of their once-proud civilization.
Poxitarium was a refugee planet, a sanctuary for those who fled destruction from distant galaxies. Long ago, three distinct species ruled—each entirely different from the others, yet bound by a fragile peace. The Venex were swift and graceful, their translucent skin shimmering under Poxitarium's twin suns. The Torrix, large and imposing, dominated the highlands with their brute strength and raw power. Lastly, the Ithis, agile and cunning, controlled the underground cities. These rulers were revered not just for their strength, but for their mystical ability to procreate across species, creating new, hybrid beings who thrived on the planet's unique environment. The genetic diversity of Poxitarium became one of its defining features, with each generation displaying a mix of their ancestral traits, from wings to scales, heightened senses to unique abilities.
However, despite their shared power, the rulers succumbed to the same flaws that plagued all beings—greed and ambition. Soon, the planet fell into chaos. Battles for dominance tore across the continents as old allegiances were shattered and new ones formed. Refugees who had once seen Poxitarium as a haven began fighting for resources, each clan, family, and species desperate to claim a piece of the planet's dwindling safety. Amid the chaos, none of the original rulers survived. Their deaths were swift and brutal, leaving a void of leadership that sent the planet spiraling further into disorder.
In the darkest of times, a figure emerged. The previous General, a warrior without lineage, without royal blood, had risen. His wisdom and strength, unmatched by any on Poxitarium, united the scattered and broken peoples. Under his command, the once-divided planet found a semblance of order. He ruled with an iron will and a deep sense of justice, maintaining a fragile peace for decades. But even legends are not immune to time. The General grew old, and as the years wore on, his strength waned. It was just days before the meteors fell that he succumbed to age, his burial a solemn affair, attended by a people who feared the chaos that would soon follow without him.
As fate would have it, his death coincided with the arrival of the new General and the invasion that now threatened the planet.
The War Begins
Two meteors crashed into the surface of Poxitarium, each harboring far more than just cosmic debris. From the smoldering craters, eggs emerged, hatching horrors that sent waves of fear through the inhabitants. These creatures were unlike any species they had encountered, and as the eggs cracked open, the planet was overrun with alien invaders—bloodthirsty, merciless, and adaptive to the environment in terrifying ways.
The newly appointed General, a mysterious outsider who had only recently arrived on Poxitarium, had seen the planet's distress and taken it upon himself to restore order. He was an enigmatic figure, coming from a distant star system with a reputation for unmatched strength. No one knew his full backstory, but his presence commanded attention. When the planet needed a leader most, he stepped forward, subjecting himself to the brutal trials—a series of tests designed to prove his right to lead. He emerged victorious, winning the trust and votes of Poxitarium's people, who were desperate for someone to unite them again.
Now, as the leader of the last unified Poxit force, the General devised a strategy to survive the invasion. The creatures that emerged from the meteors were numberless, and any attempt to face them head-on would lead to slaughter. So, he ordered his alien soldiers to form small strike groups through a universal language with the closest on the planet to his rank, pairs of two, hoping their size would make them less detectable by the invaders. One such group was Kaizu and his partner—a young woman whose loyalty to him was undeniable, yet whose fear of the creatures they faced seemed to grow with every step.
