On one New Year's Eve, the moment the International Date Line welcomed the new year first, the change occurred. Communications between nations were severed, climates shifted, and unknown lands emerged. Eventually, as each country gathered information and realized they had somehow been transported to another world, their reactions varied. America: "FUCK YEAH! Frontier time, baby!" Russia: "FUCK YEAH! It's warmer now, and the vodka tastes even better!" China: "FUCK YEAH! Not sure what's going on, but there's a ton of stuff that looks edible!" Japan: "Must go to work." ...Or so one might expect, but in reality, each country moved forward with its own agenda, heading straight toward a clash of civilizations. PART 2 RELEASE: 2019 (UP TO DATE; HIATUS IN 2021)

Imagine you were trapped. Not on a deserted island, but lightyears away from Earth on a distant moon. Then you might be Lucas Anderson. It's the year 2037. Mankind has discovered two wormholes into foreign worlds; much to our misfortune. Near the isolated town of Ernstburgh, two college students have just disappeared, likely due to the beings that came through the wormholes.

Once he wakes up on a distant moon, he knows he must get back to Earth. On his quest, he meets several aliens and eventually the two college students. Together, they embark on an interstellar adventure of galactic proportions, seeking to understand the truth behind what's going on. [-] New chapters will be released every Sunday, if possible.
