Death was supposed to be the end. For Mark Shepherd, it was just the beginning. Run down on Earth, Mark wakes to the screaming alarms of a starship crashing onto a desolate world. Stranded on the fringes of mapped space, his only lifeline is the dying wisdom of an ancient alien ship builder. To survive, Mark must master the art of Starship Engineering, forging everything from intricate fusion reactors to cold warship hulls. But escaping a dead planet is only the first step in his journey. The broader galaxy is unforgiving, run by cutthroat corporations, pirates, and corrupt empires. When Mark forms an unlikely family, his rising technological brilliance paints a target on his back. Greedy factions want his skills enslaved or destroyed. In a universe where freedom is enforced with railguns, a quiet life is a death sentence. To protect his own, Mark must build, expand, and rise from the unknown to challenge the titans of the galaxy. But such a task is easier said than done. He didn't ask for this second life, but he will seize it. To survive is human. But to conquer? Well, that's just destiny. *** What to Expect: - 1 Chapter Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays - 2500-4000+ words Chapters - Slow Burn - Slice of Life - An MC that doesn't let things slide - Primary focus in Technology and Exploration, but Action will become more frequent as time passes - A more "grounded" sci-fi experience that will slowly loosen its chains - Army building, duh (Not as of yet) Advanced Chapters on my Patreon https://www.patreon.com/cw/Crimson_Reapr This novel is also available on Webnovel, RoyalRoad, and Scribble Hub (Under the Handle of Ghostly_Immortal)

What begins as a routine exploration mission quickly becomes something far more dangerous. The Agamemnon Starship is sent to investigate a distant world at the edge of known space.

With time running out and the boundary between universes beginning to fail, impossible decisions must be made by people who were never meant to carry that responsibility so soon.

In 2068, the United States was moving toward a second frontier era, a second Manifest Destiny across the solar system. Then, one day, thanks to a strange alien signal, they discovered a hidden facility on Mars. The signal was transmitted through a device considered an ancient decoration but turned out to be a portal to another world. With a series of events, the United States sent one of its most elite teams to this world to investigate, Combat Fire Team-1, also known as Comanche, and discover why the people of Alagore opened a Bridge to their world. Comanche must explore the connections of this new world and the wonders discovered on Mars, confront the darkness known as the Unity in its global conquest, and above all, protect the US and the rest of Earth from this new threat. However, will they be able to discover the secrets of this war or fall victim to all that had come before? This is a original book by PWOFalcon.

Lieutenant Cora Harper was a soldier of the future-a biotic-wielding commando bound by discipline and the mission of the Andromeda Initiative. But when a Remnant vault glitch tears a hole in reality, she isn't dropped onto a golden world. She falls into a realm of mud, blood, and ancient fire: Westeros. In the year 105 AC, the House of the Dragon is at the height of its power, and Prince Daemon Targaryen is its most dangerous weapon. When the Rogue Prince witnesses a woman in white-and-blue armor decimate a Triarchy fleet with "blue sorcery" and a thunder-stick that shatters bone, he doesn't see a monster. He sees a match. Trapped in a medieval world of lethal court intrigue and patriarchal chains, Cora must navigate a den of vipers who brand her a witch and a Faith that wants her burned. Her only ally is the man who embodies everything she was taught to fear: a chaotic, ambitious prince who breathes fire and answers to no one. Between the heat of the Stepstones and the shadows of Dragonstone, a volatile attraction ignites. It is a collision of two worlds-one of cold steel and dragons, the other of kinetic barriers and starships. As the succession tensions of King Viserys's court threaten to boil over, Cora must decide if she will use her alien powers to save the Rogue Prince from his own darkness, or if his Valyrian fire will finally consume the soldier from the stars.

It contains graphic descriptions of medieval and futuristic violence, including the use of high-tech weaponry and biotics against organic targets. Readers should be prepared for sexual content, intense power dynamics, and the morally grey themes characteristic of the Targaryen dynasty.

Jimi Phoenix has left Bit and Hap behind on Venus to get his friend back home before the Black Box fries his brain

Nikolai dies instantly when a nuclear blast atomizes him and everything around him. His consciousness survives the destruction, drifting through spacetime in a torment worse than the death itself, until his body reconstructs atom by atom and he wakes inside a Gothic cathedral. He finds himself sitting in a pew with four other newcomers. A robed woman sings a haunting liturgical hymn at the altar, her words soaked in despair, resentment, and nihilism. One of the newcomers, Takeshi, suspects she is some kind of guide or goddess and nudges Nikolai to approach her. Nikolai does, asking where they are. The woman's gaze alone forces him and the others to their knees. When Takeshi mutters something flippant, she drags him forward and tears his heart out, breaks his jaw, stuffs the heart down his throat, then rips out his brain and rewires his memory entirely. His body regenerates each time. The other newcomers are forced to watch, unable to move, and fall sick at the sight. Nikolai, hardened by worse, doesn't flinch. Takeshi rises as a psychologically reset person, with no memory of what just happened. The robed woman looks at them all and delivers a cold, sardonic welcome, telling them their lives are only just beginning.

Human forces from the Resources Development Administration arrive, carving into Pandora's sacred lands in search of wealth.

A thousand years ago, Earth vanished. Ripped from its orbit by unknown forces, it was dragged across the void and bound to a mysterious purple star alongside sixteen other stolen worlds. The star became known as Papuru, and fear forged what diplomacy could not, an uneasy Coalition of planets desperate to understand their captivity and reclaim their lost skies. They never escaped. Instead, they adapted. Now, one thousand years later, the Coalition celebrates its survival through spectacle. Every ten years, the galaxy turns its attention to Coalition Carnage, a year-long, planet-spanning martial arts tournament where champions clash across worlds, environments, and impossible odds. For civilians, it is celebration. For Superstars, it is fame, fortune, and legend. For winning planets, it brings something far more valuable, blessings that keep entire civilizations alive. But Coalition Carnage was never just a tournament. Beneath the cheers, sponsorships, and hero worship lie truths the Coalition has buried for centuries. Secrets woven into the rules, the powers, and the very star that binds them together. Truths that, if uncovered, could unravel the Papuru system itself and erase every stolen world in a single, final catastrophe. This is a space opera about power, survival, and the cost of entertainment. Featuring superpowered combat, planetary politics, rival champions, and the long shadow of a mystery older than human history. The 100th Coalition Carnage is about to begin. Some will win. Some will die. And some will learn what the Papuru Star truly is.

For centuries, humanity battled its own demons-war, destruction, the ever-present shadow of extinction. But against all odds, it endured. Nations united, wounds healed, and a single banner rose above the entire Earth: United Earth Government and later the United Federation of Planets. By the year 2288, humanity had transformed from a fractured species into a galactic civilization. The Federation stretched across the stars, its influence reaching every corner of the Milky Way. It was an era of peace, progress, and unmatched technological triumph. And yet... they were alone. No matter how far their ships traveled or how many worlds they surveyed, there was no sign of other intelligent life. The universe vast, ancient, and beautiful remained eerily silent. Theories once whispered in academic circles, the "Great Filter," the "Rare Earth" now loomed large and terrifying. Was intelligence a cosmic accident? Was humanity the only one to make it this far? Then, everything changed. On the eve of humanity's historic voyage to Andromeda (M31). As their science vessel prepared for its journey across 2.6 million light years, something unprecedented occurred. In a flash, space itself seemed to twist and fold, as the Milky Way merged with another galaxy in instant, one far larger and older than their own. Now, in this strange, limitless frontier, humanity's greatest adventure was only just beginning. Would they adapt and survive, or uncover something beyond their wildest understanding? Only time would reveal the truth... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heavily influenced by Nihonkoku Shoukan by Minorou, Anime GATE and various nation summoned novels here in wattpad.
