Subterranean Stories

Before the Decree. Before the Sinks. Before the World Forgot Its Name. Long before the Ministry enforced absolute silence upon the subterranean empire, the Tangle was a frontier of infinite ambition. It was meant to be humanity's greatest achievement-a vast, underground haven forged from magma, iron, and revolutionary science. KING: Legacy uncovers the untold origin of the empire and the three visionaries whose shared dream laid its foundation: Rex Sterling: The charismatic, unyielding force whose tactical mind and relentless drive pushed the boundaries of human survival. Lucius Vane: The brilliant, idealistic mind whose ground-breaking discoveries unlocked the secrets of the deep-and set a dangerous power in motion. Vivian Synre: The sharp, perceptive intellect balancing the volatile friction between two men destined to change history. Together in the pristine corridors of Lab 099, they mapped the depths and built a new world from nothing. But great power demands a cost. As secret motives surface and ideological cracks deepen, a devastating fracture forms-one that will shatter their bonds, rewrite the rules of society, and birth the brutal reality that generations will inherit.

Everyone has his/her own soundtrack. This is mine. Join my trip to the 60's, 70's, 80's. Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n' Roll.

A series of intertwined stories told in a far-future hard science-fiction setting, in which the Federation attempts to extend its control over the planet of New Haven. Important Characters: • Beta One: Beta is one of the combat replicants that is deployed to New Haven by General Bradford's forces in the opening days of the Federal assault. • Secretary Eynsford: Secretary Eynsford is the de facto leader of the United Nations of Jefferson, and the founder of the Aspera Federation. • Tarion: Tarion is a gunslinger on New Haven living about 80 years after the Federal invasion. Parts: • Arrival: Arrival gives some background for the rise of the Federal forces, and the war on New Haven. • Birth: This story follows one of the replicant soldiers deployed to New Haven during the Colonial War, who encounters some difficulties on her way to the objective. • Grace: Set after the war. Grace follows Tarion, a wandering gunslinger who makes his living selling salvage and protecting the descendants of the rebels and hunting down bounties. • Fugitive: Tarion hunts down a man accused of being a Federal agent. • Liberation: Set in Irkalla during a rebellion, Liberation follows an android named Martin as he attempts to save one life in the darkness of the collapsing arcology. • Neurachem: Military focus, following Federals in Irkalla during a rebellion. • Void: A step back from the more action-packed stories that focuses on the more general characterization of classic science fiction and is more of an exercise in telling about a character and their motives than keeping up action, though it'll appeal to those who like the more traditional stories.

Gold draws men. Structure keeps them. Red Creek Hollow was supposed to be a quiet claim. A forgotten valley. A place where the past stayed buried. It didn't. When outsiders arrive with guns and legal papers, the line between ownership and survival begins to collapse. Beneath the gravel beds and abandoned shafts lies more than placer gold. Something older is shifting. Something that does not care who holds the deed. James Grant thought he was chasing fortune. Carter thought it was just another high-risk market. They were both wrong. In Season 2, the stakes escalate from hidden structures to open conflict. Claim jumpers. Private collectors. Armed men. And a valley that does not stay quiet. The gold was only the entry point. The ground remembers.

Charlie always wondered what has been hiding behind the doors of his grandad's treehouse. But his grandad would just say, 'THE TREEHOUSE IS A NO GO PLACE' and would not entertain any questions of that sort. Even though last year, Charlie was convinced he had heard footsteps echoing through the night from the broken window of the treehouse, his grandad reassured him, they were just the long branches of the old oak tree knocking against the old cottage. His annoying, teenage cousin Eric, however, had a different theory, making up stories of an abominable old troll living in the treehouse, giggling viciously behind their bedroom window. This summer, Charlie was determined to find the secret of the treehouse. But never in million years, did he expect, his curiosity would eventually lead him to the deepest darkest underground tunnels, caverns sculpted of the most beautiful limestone and peculiar hidden worlds, in search of the key to the Kingdom of Solis, whilst being pursued by Zoutarus - the sinister leader of the Graves of Ozaar. ...and little did he know, his journey would eventually lead him to uncover the truth about his father's disappearance.
