But the biggest danger for the humans unfortunate enough to live there are the planet's original owners. For decades Rychter's colonists have lived in state of perpetual war. For Ryke Vannigan, a teenager with a score to settle, that war is his chance at payback. When he and his classmates are conscripted into Rychter's military forces, he joins the elite ranks of the Hunter-Killer Corps. Piloting a fifteen ton war machine and harbouring a thirst for revenge, Ryke is about to write his own bloody chapter in Rychter's history, and change the war forever.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own and did not write this story. It is a copy of Original Book by Robert Louis Stevenson that I have uploaded here because it was way better to read than the PDF I was given in school. But I decided to let it stay here to help spread the book to wider audiences. Hope you enjoy. ----- Author: Robert Louis Stevenson Publisher: Longmans, Green and Co. Year: 1886 ----- It is about a London lawyer named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde. The novella's impact is such that it has become a part of the language, with the very phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" coming to mean a person who is vastly different in moral character from one situation to the next. ------------

One of the earliest examples of a woman coming in power that could rival an emperor's authority is Empress Natsume Takahiro, her maiden name. The wife of the first emperor in Sang who established the Ryuu Empire. Her greed for power could surpassed a man's ambition. Born in 975 during the Warring States period. Historians called her 'The sparks of war'. It is said that she was even above the heavenly emperor who united Sang, for she can bend him to her own will, wrapped around her little finger, and would listen to her every word. But there must be a price, an exchange for a great fate to reach, something that has a great value must be lost.

The Phantom of the Opera (French: Le Fantôme de l'Opéra) is a novel by French writer Gaston Leroux. It was first published as a serialization in Le Gaulois from 23 September 1909, to 8 January 1910. It was published in volume form in late March 1910 by Pierre Lafitte. The novel is partly inspired by historical events at the Paris Opera during the nineteenth century and an apocryphal tale concerning the use of a former ballet pupil's skeleton in Carl Maria von Weber's 1841 production of Der Freischütz. It has been successfully adapted to the various stage and film adaptations, most notable of which are the 1925 film depiction featuring Lon Chaney, and Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 musical.
