Fulgerium. A mineral discovered in the year 1604. A mineral discovered to possess energy capable of powering weapons and other forms of technology. He or she who wields the full might of Fulgerium is said to be the ruler of the world. The four great nations - Kuragon, Kaiserreich, Abya Yala and Banden - agree to mine limited amounts of Fulgerium under the Stolberg-Rossla peace talks. 

When the proud nation of Kuragon is suspected of amassing large amounts of Fulgerium for themselves, the other great nations get nervous. To counter the impending threat, an off-the-books unit named Argus is formed. 

Xedrik, a robotics engineer walking in the footsteps of his older brother. 

Valerie, a mysterious volunteer whose combat skills are second to none. 

Lynn, an amateur surgeon from an esteemed military family.

Ace, a kid too young to face the true nature of war. 

Richard, a man whose heart has been hardened by years on the battlefield.

Olivia, a somewhat naive former noble with a cold disposition.

Join these six souls in their struggle to navigate the chaotic stage that is the battlefield. Let the curtains of war rise.

Rise of the Dead | I by Lup1ne
46 parts Complete Mature
Ten years after the battle at Single Oak, the four groups of Oregon are still reeling from its after effects. Territory lines were drawn and stories have been told, those who were heroes once are legends now. In order to avoid new conflicts, solstice gatherings between the groups' leaders were organized-but will they be enough? *** Phoenix has grown up only ever knowing two things. One, her group and fathers are the saviors of Oregon. Two, The Reaper's are not to be trusted. So when a mysterious stranger rescues her after a hunting trip gone wrong turns out to be none other than her mortal enemy she begins to wonder, are they all as bad as they seem? The death of Stephan has begun to deteriorate The Reaper's from the inside out. Infighting over who should be their next leader has created countless seasons of lacking supplies and structure. A lack of prey follows a famine. Strong leadership is in order and although Gerald can provide it, debate and rumors are spread about his chosen companion-Aleu, Stephan's once respected apprentice, now glued to his side in a relationship they never wanted-with no say in the matter. The only person who The Reaper's can put their hope into is Hawk, their new general, a powerful man willing to do anything to keep his group thriving. Hawk is torn between keeping his group safe and his own ambition, Aleu is tortured with a constricting life they hate and Phoenix wonders if she can truly trust her new acquaintances. Now the three must make a decision. Will pushing aside the past and working together to make peace be worth turning their backs on their groups or is blood the only cure for the misdeeds of the past? _____________________ Story rating: 17+ Content warnings: Childhood trauma, subtext of grooming, strong language, violence and gore This can hypothetically be read as a stand alone but it's recommended to read the original series first.

Second Contact: War of the Deep Valley The war for survival was only the beginning. Months after the crash of the Ardent Dawn, Commander Mizuno Kaede and her surviving crew have built a fragile foothold on the uncharted planet known as Zion - a world eerily similar to Earth, yet filled with ancient secrets buried beneath its emerald skies. When contact is made - not with rescue ships, but with a new alien civilization - everything changes. The species that emerges from the Deep Valley of Ocean Bay are not the mindless predators the squad expected. They are the Ael'thari - a long-lived, tribal people whose lifespans stretch across centuries. Their warriors fight with precision older than human memory; their seers speak in voices that seem to echo through time itself. At first, Mizuno seeks peace. But peace comes at a cost. A human scouting team vanishes near the valley. Diplomatic envoys return in silence. Then the skies burn - tracer fire over the ocean, flames reflected in the waves - and the Second Contact War begins. Now Mizuno stands at the center of a conflict neither side truly understands. Her orders are clear: secure Zion, eliminate threats, ensure human survival. But as the war deepens, she uncovers truths that defy her command and challenge her loyalty. The Ael'thari are not fighting for conquest - they're fighting for memory, for the right to exist against a species that cannot comprehend time the way they do. With her Shadow Squad fractured, alliances shifting, and her own command questioned, Mizuno must choose between following Earth's protocol - or following her conscience. Because on Zion, survival is not about who wins the war... ...it's about who remembers it first.
