The 2234 Universe gathers wild, thought‑provoking stories from every corner of a hard‑won Solar System. In the asteroid belt people struggle and strive. On Ariel's ice, a battered outpost fights to reboot its lungs and its conscience. In Caleb's Vein, a belt crew chases a river of living metal through the dark, trading sleep and skin for one shot at freedom. In Ethan's Saviour, a burned‑out responder on half‑pressured Mars gambles everything on a rescue that could redeem a city or expose its lie. These are hard science fiction tales built from real physics, ruthless economics, and stubborn hope. Mass drivers sing, contracts bite, robots keep score, and people still fall in love. From frost‑bright moons to dust‑red plains, every page asks the same question: what is a future worth if we forget the people in it? Facts, opportunities, and souls, all lit by the cold bright sun of 2234. Welcome to the World of 2234.

Neo-Cincy is a city built on surveillance, debt, and secrets. In Sector 9, every citizen is assigned a Personal Identity Number at birth. Most people use theirs for medical records, transit access, employment, etc. D4X's? 082819 became a ghost code. Once registered as a retrieval operative (E-level), D4X worked for one of Sector 9's largest private intelligence contractors, tracking stolen prototypes, rogue hackers, and political dissidents. Then a contract went sideways. His target wasn't a criminal. It was a whistleblower carrying proof that Neo-Cincy's governing corporations had been erasing citizens-digitally first, physically second. D4X made a choice... He killed the retrieval team. Took the data. Burned his identity. Now his PIN exists in the system as both active and deceased-a bureaucratic impossibility that makes him a phantom in the network. These days he works as a Data Runner moving stolen intel between resistance cells, black market brokers, and anyone rich enough to pay. But bounty hunting pays better. So if someone puts a price on a monster, a traitor, or a corporate butcher? D4X collects.

Una amenaza invisible. Un abismo de ciento cincuenta millones de kilómetros. Dieciocho minutos de retraso para pedir perdón. Un agujero negro primordial del tamaño de la cabeza de un alfiler -pero con la masa de la Luna entera- ha entrado en el sistema solar. Su trayectoria es una condena matemática ineludible: va directo al núcleo del Sol. Si lo alcanza, la presión reventará la estrella desde adentro, calcinando la Tierra en cuestión de meses. No se puede destruir. No se puede bombardear. Solo se puede desviar. Desde la cúpula del observatorio Heliopausa-4 en el desierto de Atacama, la astrofísica Elena Valls descubre que la única masa capaz de alterar el curso de la singularidad es el Caelum-IX, un gigantesco carguero de osmio minero. El problema es quién lo pilota. Mateo Valls, el hermano mayor de Elena, lleva cinco años exiliado en el vacío, sometiendo su cuerpo a dosis letales de radiación para pagar en secreto la carrera académica de la hermana que lo desprecia por haber abandonado a la familia. Ahora, separados por un profundo resentimiento y atados a una desesperante latencia de comunicaciones donde cada mensaje tarda dieciocho minutos en llegar, Elena deberá guiar a Mateo hacia el punto de impacto. Tienen un solo intento para ejecutar una maniobra suicida en el borde de la singularidad antes de que la gravedad, o el silencio, los devore primero. La física no sabe de perdones. Y el reloj ya empezó a correr.

Um cientista viajou 9,3 milhões de anos para perguntar a Deus por que o sofrimento existe .

The Empress of Rhea entered the wormhole. She didn't come out where she was supposed to. Now she's stranded between the stars - half a light-year from the nearest inhabited system, with a crew of seven, a dead drive, and no way home. In the history of interstellar flight, nothing like this has ever happened. There is no protocol. No rescue coming. No plan. Jack Conrad is a General Systems Flight Engineer. Not a hero. Not a leader. Just the one person aboard who understands the whole picture - and the only one who refuses to stop looking for the exit. His idea, when it comes, is the most audacious thing anyone has ever attempted in the history of human spaceflight. It probably won't work. But the alternative is worse. The crew think he's lost his mind. The physics say otherwise. But physics and survival are two different problems, and the gap between them is filled with dwindling resources, failing hardware, a fractious crew, and the kind of bad luck that only reveals itself when you're already too far from help to matter. The Empress of Rhea is hard science fiction at its most unsparing - a story of ingenuity, endurance, and one man's stubborn refusal to accept that the ledger can't be squared. Some voyages make history. This one nearly didn't make it at all.

Everything is in balance, regulated, and inherently complex. Human civilisation has evolved into something entirely new -- polished but cold, robust but deeply dependent, peaceful but profoundly fragile. Can a single, mundane incident reveal what truly lies under the bonnet? NOTE: the final part will be published at Friday 18-Sep 17.00 CET Thank you for reading Civilisation. I've decided to complete the publication of the first book here on Wattpad, but I won't continue uploading the following books to this platform. Civilisation was written as a traditional novel rather than a web novel, and I've decided to focus my time on completing and refining the series instead of maintaining multiple publishing platforms. The official series website will remain the primary source for future books, updates, and additional content: https://cbs.vapaa.xyz Thank you for reading, following the project, and supporting the series. I hope you enjoy the rest of the first book!

Human Special Agent Elizabeth Mbenge is the tip of the spear of the armed forces of the Terran Federation. An elite Sunguard operative with unchecked authority, she is without equal among the ranks of the military. But when faced with an apocalyptic threat from within her own organization, not even the best of the best is good enough. Biotic Special Agent Avor Ameir is the first of her kind. A living machine sworn to stand forever as the vanguard of humanity, she is the prototype for the next evolution of the Sunguard's Special Agent program. The ultimate weapon of the Terran Federation, she will not let anything - or anyone - stand in the way of completing her mission. Together, they must navigate a complex landscape of civilian politics and military doctrine to save the Federation from the rot beginning to fester at its core. But what happens when the perfect enforcer of the Sunguard's terrifying might encounters the messy reality of human corruption and decides to take her duty as a solar wolf to its ultimate logical conclusion? Incapable of stopping until she has fulfilled the purpose etched into her genes, she could break the Terran Federation, or guide it into a new, golden age. The Wolf Reforged is a tale of duty, free will, and the infinite value of human life that dares to ask an uncomfortable question: Can a machine remain true to humanity's ideals when humanity itself cannot?

A ring appears in the sky. No one knows whether it is natural, artificial, divine, or alive. Dr Shen is asked to help answer a question no government is willing to ask in public: what happens when the first sign of intelligence beyond Earth cannot be approached, touched, or understood - only seen? Across the world, certainty begins to fail. Scientists argue. Governments conceal. Faith gathers. And above them all, the sky remains open. Silent. Beautiful. Watching.

Earth is a world of injustice, everybody knows that. Evil goes unpunished, good goes unrewarded, but there is an end to the torment. The moment is rare, but points of beauty do exist, and are to be treasured and cherished.

Dislike supernatural explanations? Prefer Zombies that can starve to death? Does constant disregard for the first law of thermodynamics distract you from enjoying your show? You're in luck, this is an attempt to provide a fictional "fig leaf" for how the Zombies of The Walking Dead could keep shambling around years later. It's not meant to be a serious attempt at explaining the undead, just enough to give a nitpicker something to handwave away problems.

Co jeśli Wszechświat nie próbuje cię zabić? Co jeśli próbuje cię utrzymać przy życiu... ponieważ bez ciebie sam przestanie istnieć? Nigdy nie planowali odkryć Archonta. Szukali jedynie nowego modelu fizyki. Nowego równania. Nowego sposobu opisania czasu. NEXUS znalazł jednak coś, czego żaden człowiek nie powinien zobaczyć. Każdy akt obserwacji pozostawiał ślad. Każda decyzja zmieniała geometrię rzeczywistości. Każda świadoma istota stabilizowała fragment Wszechświata. Im więcej świadomości. Tym bardziej rzeczywistość stawała się trwała. Początkowo uznano to za błąd. Później za anomalię. Aż w końcu odkryto, że wszystkie cywilizacje we Wszechświecie od miliardów lat opisują ten sam niewidzialny mechanizm. Nazwano go... PROTOKOŁEM ARCHONTA. Ale NEXUS nie potrafił odpowiedzieć na najważniejsze pytanie. Czy Archont istnieje naprawdę... czy jest tylko nazwą dla prawa natury, którego nikt jeszcze nie rozumie? Nie każda teoria chce zostać udowodniona. Niektóre wolą pozostać żywe.
