TWO WORLDS. ONE NEVER-ENDING CYCLE.

The year is 396 of the Ninth Era. The Twenty Year War has ended, giving rise to a new age of fear, oppression, and doubt.  The survivors of this devastating conflict seek to make sense of an uncertain future... whether it be by going along with the system, or rejecting it entirely and carving out a life in the unforgiving darkness of outer space. 

A military police recruit fighting her way through her trauma, disillusioned with the authoritarian system in which she exists. A mob enforcer with the ability to bend states of matter, running from what he has done. A humble man with modest ambitions, pulled into a conflict he doesnt understand. A disgraced investigator, seeking to clear his name and restore his honor. 

As revolutionaries rise and the ruling class seeks to establish its dominance, the false peace that everyone has clung to will fall. All it will take is a single spark.

"Imagine yourself on a roller coaster. While you're reading the beginning, it's like the roller coaster is ascending to the big drop. You can tell (expletive) is about to go down. You can feel the anticipation in your gut and when that drop finally does happen, its nonstop, balls-to-the-wall ride until the end, leaving you in an emotional wreck, but wanting more and more."

Seven days later, she's facing consequences she never imagined. * * * * * As civilization collapses under a relentless wave of zombies, Diane and her friends take shelter in a military base. However, while she's rescuing another survivor, Diane gets bitten by one of the monsters. She hides it and runs away, knowing she only has days left to live. But she soon discovers she isn't turning into a zombie - she's turning into something else. --------- Excerpt: I looked up and stared. My reflection looked back at me in the mirror of the dark room. My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal. What was I then? For that, I had no answer [[Word count: 495,000]] Copyright August 2016. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story.
