Young people on Alterra must choose. After they complete secondary school, they enroll either in University—a life of science and mathematical pursuits—or Monastery—a life of literature, history and spiritual depth.
Initiate Le is in his final year of school. All his life, he has prepared himself for University, but something feels wrong. Neither University nor Monastery compel him forward.
One night, Le discovers a young man from his school sneaking into a ‘zone,’ a dangerous area where nanotechnology runs rampant, cordoned off from the rest of the city. Against all reason, Le follows Initiate Stok inside. What he discovers will change him and his world forever.
Equal parts love story, military adventure and social philosophy, Alterra is the story of three young men striving to save two estranged parallel worlds whose only hope for survival is to rectify the ancient schism that shattered them both.

Alterra: Filosofia
(It is highly recommended to read "Alterra: Foreign Eden" before this, as certain characters and events may carry over or be mentioned in passing.) The gateway to Caelum remains open, and Alterra Robotics continues its silent colonization of the other world. This time, in the intellectual city-state of Thasselia. Here, androids do more than serve. They teach, research, theorize, and dream. Among them stands Theresa Hypatia, a coldly rational synthetic built for science, now struggling to understand something no experiment can explain: how to be a mother. Sakuta, Alterra's top android inspector (and unofficial magnet for emotionally complex android women), is reassigned to Thasselia to oversee Prometheus Institute-a prestigious college where ethics, engineering, and artificial emotions collide in increasingly absurd ways. He's supposed to monitor Android stability. Instead, he's navigating bizarre dream sequences, awkward dorm room politics, and a faculty full of robots with too much personality. As theories clash with faith, and logic gives way to longing, Sakuta and Theresa must ask themselves: what defines humanity in a world where the perfect replica can believe, doubt, and love?

Delta Squad: Origins
This story is a dramatized and reimagined version of a long-running campaign I've been leading with my friends-a crossover between Starfinder and Dungeons & Dragons. Drawing from our collective notes, dialogue, and in-game events, I've been transforming our weekly adventures into a full-fledged narrative that captures both the chaos and camaraderie of our sessions. The campaign itself is still ongoing, with new chapters unfolding every Friday night, so you can expect fresh story updates every Sunday as our journey continues. The setting is a fully customized Starfinder universe-futuristic in scope and deeply rooted in science-fantasy storytelling. It features an original galaxy of my own creation, complete with unique star systems, civilizations, and more than thirty distinct races, each with their own lore, politics, and mysteries. From sprawling orbital stations and fractured worlds to divine wars and ancient machines, this saga blends high adventure with cosmic wonder. So strap in and enjoy the ride-this universe is vast, dangerous, and still being written.Complete

Re/Imagination: Fate of The Chosen
In a world devoured by lustful wilds, dangerous entities, and an ever-hungrier elite, power belongs only to those who can afford to waste it. As technology evolves, the gap between heaven and hell widens - not in the skies, but on the streets. Soven, a quiet yet sharp-minded youth, lives below the poverty line - in a world he no longer sees as human, but infested with devils wearing mortal skin. While others lose themselves to the chaos, Soven watches. He studies. He understands. His goal is not gold, nor glory - it is to restore heaven on Earth, to resurrect a world of angels. But this dream makes him a threat. Corrupted powers, hidden factions, and even his own inner darkness will rise to challenge his vision. One mistake could destroy everything. Yet perhaps, just perhaps - one right step could awaken the divine. This is the story of Soven and those who walk beside him. The story of a man against the abyss, and the question that burns brighter than all: Can one soul, in perfect alignment, change the world?
Ad Astra - The Alagore War
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.
