This story takes place shortly before Corruption of Heroes. Tim, immortal and alone in the high tech fortress of Mons Olympus, awakens hungover and disoriented. His bio-scanner warns of critical liver damage, but he ignores it, numbed by centuries of grief. As he stumbles through the empty halls, he confronts his unaging reflection and the crushing silence left behind by the deaths of his fellow Techno Knights and the disappearance of Elora. The once glorious citadel is now a mausoleum, and Tim is its last, unwilling sentinel. But when he discovers a cache of notes left behind by Herman, Techno Knight and old friend, also known as the citadel's mad scientist, Tim glimpses a thread of hope buried in the long forgotten achieves. The notes speak of a bridge, a convergence point between worlds, and a final experiment meant to restore what was lost. Tim builds and activates it, expecting silence or ruin but instead finds something, actually, someone unexpected, Lynn. Not the Lynn he remembers, but someone fragile, haunted, and achingly familiar. Drawn into her quiet orbit, Tim begins to question what living, not just surviving, means and whether legacy can be rewritten through tenderness, not war.

But one accidental collision sets off a whirlwind of spikes, secrets, and unexpected feelings that just might pull him into the spotlight for good. *** Evan has spent his entire life living in the shadow of his twin brother and volleyball prodigy, Ethan Reed.

(And unfortunately, after all of it, he's still on the volleyball team.) *** NOW COMPLETED

For a century, millions have lived on the back of a sleeping nightmare. They think the famous Obelisk is a monument. They're wrong. It's a hypodermic needle of concrete and steel, injected deep into the planet's nervous system to keep a biomechanical anomaly in a coma. And the earth is waking up. Subway engineer Mateo Ricci hears the rhythm. It's not a seismic tremor. It's a heartbeat. While the city above melts in a record heatwave, a biological clock below ticks toward a final, reality-shattering "Exhale." When the ground begins to breathe, Mateo's family is thrust into a subterranean war for survival. His wife guards lethal corporate secrets. His son can hear the anomalous "Substrate" singing in his blood. And a shadow agency is erasing anyone who looks too deep into the abyss. As gravity fails and the metropolis begins its terrifying fall upward, one question remains: Can a human mind bridge our dying world and the waking Substrate? Or will humanity be formatted like a system error? I will be posting this story on Royal Road.

In the not-so-distant future, aboard the Echo 11 shuttle, systems engineer Ethan Vale navigates the wonders and perils of space as humanity pushes the boundaries of exploration. After years of waiting, the crew finally reaches the Mars Space Station, but their mission is shrouded in secrecy and intrigue. While publicly tasked with analyzing carbon samples on the Martian surface, Ethan and his team are actually drawn into the mysteries of strange, massive particle clouds hovering just outside Mars's atmosphere. Ethan, with his spirited Tennessee charm, contrasts sharply with the somber formality of Director Mizell, whose strict demeanor only fuels Ethan's desire to push the limits of protocol. As he prepares for a crucial spacewalk alongside Captain Marcos Wilson -his steadfast friend and celebrated pilot-the memories of a tragic family loss surface, intertwining with dreams of heroic adventures reminiscent of his childhood. Yet, a sense of foreboding looms as the crew prepares to confront the unknown. With each passing moment and every breath taken in the weightlessness of space, the past and present collide. Ethan is propelled by the thrill of discovery but haunted by sorrow, as the team inches closer to unraveling the truth behind the enigmatic clouds-an achievement that could redefine humanity's understanding of the universe. As they gear up for their historic mission, the stakes rise, and the balance of fate teeters between tragedy and triumph. Embark on this captivating journey where a man's heart yearns for resolution, and the cosmos whispers secrets yet to be unveiled. Will Ethan and his crew find the answers they seek, or will they uncover something that challenges everything they thought they knew? Story complete! Story inspired by music composed by Queen E.
