"Stop! You're gonna make me feel something!" That was it. That was the sentence that my friend said when she first read some poems I had crumbled up in my backpack. Those poems were the seeds that grew into Operation Starfall, and without my friend, it would have remained in my backpack forever. At first it was an experiment. Drop a protagonist into the middle of the darkest and most dire poems I ever wrote. The poem illustrates a planet called Pithlicus slowly fading away like ashes in the wind, dying from a war that tried to take everything. Then, to everyone's surprise, something incredibly beautiful rose from the hopeless ashes of Pithlicus. In this journey, Aaron wakes up with no memories, no foundations, nothing but his curiosity and self given name. But then in walks Avora, an empathetic warrior who completely changes everything. She literally steals the plot from me. Together, these two star hunters have one simple goal. Find the purple star that ravaged the universe, and take it down. But the universe is far from simple, and after all the robots, explosions, treasures, and planets, I realized something. Life will always knock you down. But hope exists because people are willing to stand back up with you in love. And that, is Starfall. I hope you enjoy this adventure! And rest assured, you will feel something.

In a galaxy ruled by a perfect system, nothing is supposed to be left to chance, especially not love. Talon is a weapon. Engineered, enhanced, and loyal to the war that shaped him, he's sent on a mission to capture a dangerous smuggler, Lyra. But when a dying space station forces them into an uneasy alliance, survival becomes more urgent than loyalty. Stranded in the silence of deep space, tension turns into curiosity, and curiosity into something neither of them was ever meant to feel. Because Lyra is hiding something. And what begins as a mission becomes a rebellion. What feels like love becomes a question. Was it ever real? Or just perfectly designed to feel that way? When the system tightens its grip and reality fractures, Talon and Lyra are forced into an impossible choice: Trust what they feel or accept that even their hearts may not belong to them. Because in the end, the cruelest truth isn't betrayal. It's uncertainty. And some questions don't just break hearts. They rewrite them.

The sky broke centuries ago, and the world has never truly healed. When the Veil separating the realms shattered during the Sundering, it left behind a wound known as the Veilscar. Beyond its borders, corruption twists the land and warps magic into something feared as much as it is revered. Though kingdoms endure beneath the watch of angels and ancient faith, the fragile peace they have built is beginning to crack. Seraphina has spent her life believing the Veil must be protected at any cost. Raised to serve the Crown and obey the truths she was taught, she has never questioned her purpose. Until a mission into the scarlands changes everything. After surviving an encounter that should have killed her, Seraphina begins to experience impossible visions and awaken powers tied to the very force she has spent her life fearing. As long-buried secrets rise to the surface, she finds herself caught between Prince Leo, the future king she has sworn to follow, and Kael, a mysterious stranger who seems to know more about her than she does herself. The deeper Seraphina searches for answers, the more she uncovers a history built on lies. Ancient sanctuaries are awakening. Forgotten powers are stirring. And something beyond the Veilscar has been waiting for her. Because the truth about the Sundering could reshape everything the realms believe about their history, their faith, and their future. And before it is over, Seraphina may have to decide whether the world is worth saving as it is-or whether it was always meant to become something new.

This story is fully completed offline. Updates on Wattpad will be every Monday and Friday. *** In the fractured margins of a dying galaxy, mercenary captain Riven Korda leads the crew of the Ragged Vow through the lawless void. Haunted by a vanished sister and a memory-eating past, Riven takes contracts no one else dares-wreck dives, recursion retrievals, and corpse-code bounties. When a dying archivist implants her with a fragment of forbidden code, Riven becomes the target of recursion cults, rogue AIs, and a Union conspiracy older than the black signal itself. As her mind begins to fracture, and reality twists beneath her feet, Riven must follow the signal trail toward the mythical Abysmal Spire-a place where the past isn't dead, only weaponized. ***** Copyright 2025.
