Darkscifi Stories

Across the cold distances between stars, humanity spreads through the galaxy as the Sons of Supreme, warrior pilgrims in cathedral ships who believe God made them in His image and gave them the universe as their inheritance. Alien species watch in horror as these faithful conquerors advance not with weapons alone, but with hymns that shatter minds and certainty that burns away doubt like fire. From the perspective of beings made of questions, memory, and fear, humanity is not just dangerous but spiritually overwhelming, creatures whose absolute belief in their divine purpose makes them unstoppable. As humans claim system after system, the aliens must face a terrifying truth: they are not fighting an empire or an invasion, but a species that believes it is simply coming home to what was always meant to be theirs. In the darkness between worlds, the galaxy learns to fear not the weapons of mankind, but the hymns they sing while advancing toward their inheritance.

Empire of Stars is a sweeping space-opera epic that follows former soldier and disgraced movie star John Drayton after humanity's first contact with an ancient alien gateway-the Meridian Gate-catapults Earth into a brutal interstellar war. Elevated to the role of Arbiter, John commands the warship Hemingway as he navigates galaxy-spanning politics, devastating battles, and the terrifying emergence of the Hyperions: godlike beings who manipulate entire species as weapons. As worlds fall, secrets surface, and the line between heroism and exploitation blurs, John must reconcile his past, his hunger for meaning, and the crushing cost of leadership while racing to stop a calculated extinction that has been centuries in the making.

⸻ Power is never taken all at once. It is earned in silence, blood, and obedience. Two years after the academy forged him into a weapon, Alexi Arkson is no longer just a rising officer-he is a man standing at the edge of something far greater, and far more dangerous. The war has not ended. It has only changed shape. Within the ranks, old commanders cling to fading authority while Arkson builds something new beneath their feet-quietly, methodically, without asking permission. Orders begin to bend around him. Loyalty shifts. Fear listens. And deep beneath a forgotten government site, an abandoned facility hums back to life, becoming the birthplace of an idea that will one day reshape the world. The Dark Army begins here. As Arkson tightens his grip on a base that becomes his first true domain, opposition rises from within. Former mentors, officers, even friends stand in his way-forcing him to make a choice that will stain his hands forever. Control is no longer theoretical. It is enforced. Publicly. Brutally. At home, his wife Selene carries a child he barely has time to see. His son Ryder, still young, watches a father who grows colder by the day. Arkson believes he is building a future strong enough to protect them. He does not yet know what it will cost. In the shadows of steel corridors and secret chambers, EDEN begins to speak-not as a map, not as a weapon, but as something far more unsettling: a voice. Incomplete. Evolving. Watching. By the time Arkson dons his legendary black uniform, the line between general and tyrant has already blurred. Because the greatest secret is not the army he is building- but the man he is becoming. And once the air leaves a man's lungs, there is no taking it back.

It is 1984, and the world is loud, chaotic, and divided. Dr. Aris Medera has a solution: The Anchor.

Her protégé, the cold and calculating Dr. Sterling, sees what she refuses to: a tool for total global dominion. Witness the birth of the Medera Group-a journey of ambition, betrayal, and the terrifying moment the creator becomes the first subject. Before there was a national network, there was a single chair, a flickering monitor, and the first voice to whisper: I obey.

A continuation of the acclaimed novel BEYOND THE LIGHT. The answers remain buried in ruin. What gave birth to the monsters? Can a broken world ever return to what it once was?

Old truths are questioned, new powers awaken, and survival is no longer about strength alone-but choice. In a world reshaped by destruction, every step forward comes at a cost, and growth is forged through loss, pain, and impossible decisions. Beyond the Light - Volume II explores what happens after survival-when humanity must decide not just how to live, but what it is willing to become.

Insect War Chronicles is a gritty science-fiction war saga set in a shattered paradise where one-inch-tall survivors-Tinylings-fight for survival inside a sealed dome built on lies. After teenager Beau Danning accidentally cracks the dome's boundary and uncovers the truth about the world beyond, his actions trigger a catastrophic insect invasion led by intelligent, organized mantids under the ruthless General Karakis. Forced into leadership far too young, Beau and his allies-engineers, medics, pilots, and militia-must improvise weapons from scavenged human technology, wage brutal miniature warfare, and confront impossible moral choices as their safe haven collapses into open war. As the conflict escalates from survival skirmishes to full-scale military operations, the series explores leadership, sacrifice, and the cost of truth in a world where humans are no longer the apex species.

"In a future ravaged by chaos, Gambit stands as humanity's last hope.

A xenoarchaeology team investigating ruins on a long-dead world discovers evidence that humanity was engineered by the vanished civilisation-not as slaves or soldiers, but as a summoning mechanism for something the aliens themselves feared to call.

On the imperial world of Aurelgrave, systems do not fail without permission. When a routine maintenance request resolves itself with impossible precision, infrastructure coordinator Lorin Roe follows protocol-and makes everything worse. Each correct action deepens the fault. Each unexplained success leaves him more exposed. With no sanctioned way to record what the system now recognizes as valid, Lorin turns to a Lower Meridian archivist who preserves what the city erases. Together, they trace a discrepancy that cannot be acknowledged without consequence. In Proper Order is a quiet science fiction novel about systems that work too well, truths that cannot be named, and a connection formed through restraint rather than rebellion.

Evara Greenblade had lived an entire life in the wildlands outside of the commonwealth. But when agents of the crown raid her family's home, her chance at survival hinges on a few strangely expressed genes and a talent that seems to be flickering out of existence in separation from her sister, Senya. Caught with only partial control of her senses in a new city with a rigid social order, her trial by fire is tempered by the help of an unlikely group of social misfits & jaded aristocrats. She only has two options - find her footing or fall into the abyss. This is the cleaner version of the story. I have removed/reworked any explicit scenes and will release the mature version at a later date. Note: I am new to Wattpad & will assume that most comments soliciting services are bots. I am a professional editor & former journalist with contacts but I'm also broke & trying to make multiple creative projects float on a shoestring budget. I cannot afford to buy your services at this time regardless of how wonderful they may be. I dearly appreciate any feedback & am open to suggestion & discussion. I try to respond as quickly as possible but often have other commitments & may only login to Wattpad once every couple of weeks to add new sections. If you leave a comment, thank you in advance, I look forward to reading & responding if appropriate.
