In a time when mankind has reached the stars, the light of progress does not shine upon all. On the fringes of known space, survival is a brutal dance of skill, cunning, and ruthlessness. Meet a hustler chasing the next score; a doctor trying to mend a broken world; an enforcer wrestling his demons; and a pilot who bends the rules of the sky. Each fights their own battles, until their lives become entangled in a web of dangerous alliances, shifting loyalties, and interstellar power struggles. Caught between blaster shoot-outs, high-speed starship chases and an unforgiving universe that devours the weak, the line between good and evil is as blurred as the stars themselves. In the silence of space, you either bleed out in Shadow or carve your path on Steel.

this book is about the characters for an obscure pc game ,that is a metroidvania, from which I know about since high school. For those who haven't played the game, beware of spoilers. I'll be talking about the previous generations of races that an alien had created, and the main protagonist who is a parody of Indiana Jones. After all, I am a fan of it ever since high school.

🥇1st Place - Best Action/Fight Scenes (Golden Ink Awards 2025) 🥉 3rd Place - Best Ensemble (Starfish Awards 2025) -Stargate meets Percy Jackson in this action-packed Greek Mythology retelling! Humanity's salvation lies not in the future-but in the ancient past. Cursed, forsaken and hunted, Medusa lives in exile, her name whispered in fear. Branded a monster and forced into solitude, she has long abandoned hope of redemption-or connection. She survives, but without purpose. Desperate to save a crumbling world, the U.S. Army's Strategic Recruitment Battalion journeys back in time to 1400 BCE, seeking powerful allies from myths-and finds Medusa, a legend forged in pain and fury. Thrust into a war between gods and mortals, Medusa confronts the fractures within herself: the misery of loneliness, the hunger for meaning, and a yearning for something more than survival. For the first time, she begins to hope-not just for herself, but also for others. But the gods are watching. And one is prepared to destroy everything-past and future-to keep the ancient order intact. As divine wrath collides with modern warfare in a tale of power, identity, and love, Medusa fights to reclaim her story from the hands of fate. New chapters every Saturday at 7:00 AM Pacific!

What if u went to school on a normal day and then there is an assembly that changes your life forever. Come with me as I leas through a young girl's story from earth to space.

Micheal was just a quiet coder. Until the system chose him. It started with a flicker. A hidden interface. A transformation tied to emotion-rage, fear, regret. Each Glitch Form gave him power. Each one took something in return. He fought to protect the city. To hide his secret. To stay human. But the system was never meant to be controlled. And Michael pushed too far. Now the world fractures. Reality loops. The sky bleeds code. This isn't a war. It's a rewrite. And he is the final glitch.

In a city split by gold and grime, five lives collide - a killer who calls it justice, a smuggler with a cursed hand, a blacksmith chasing ghosts, a girl who sees too much, and a liar who sells truth for a price. Magic has rules in Dravaria. And breaking them always costs blood.

It's the year 2075, every girl is getting neural link implants to optimize as they turn 18 but is it really important? Hi I'm KAI7878 an average 18 year old from the city of 'NEW-FI'. And this is my story. I reject the idea of neural link implants, rather I want to stay as how I am. I think it is nothing but a corporate propaganda. I don't fit in this generation, BTW our generation is called 'gen neuro', to know my story, you have to read.
