Introspectivejourney Stories

Seven years. Seven years of saving lives, following orders, and being overlooked. Still an ensign. Still invisible. Stranded in the Delta Quadrant, Harry Kim is tired of being the loyal one who never rises. When he steps into a high-immersion holonovel-Star Wars: Twilight of the Order-he doesn't just play the role of Anakin Skywalker. He becomes him. A gifted but untrusted Jedi. A hero on the edge of recognition. A man who burns not for power, but to be seen. Harry reprograms the simulation to mirror the Voyager crew, turning familiar faces into Jedi Masters, rebels, and ghosts. As the lines between fiction and reality blur, he's forced to confront the wounds he's buried: ambition denied, loyalty tested, and the quiet ache of being passed over. Guided by a mysterious Padawan named Lira and haunted by a shadow self, Harry must decide what kind of legacy he wants to leave-on the holodeck, and in real life. Because sometimes, the only way to rise... is to rewrite the story.
