Mica stands behind the telescope set up on the edge of the abandoned quarry. The night is warm, and with its source in the the thousands of streetlights a couple of kilometers away, a fiery golden aura spills over the sky. They wouldn't have seen anything if they chose to aim the telescope from any of the balconies.
Leila rotates an eyepiece in her hands.

Lunar Virus ✔️
Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!

Starpiercer: Sunlight's Edge
Nobody said Rock Hauling would be easy. Throughout settled space, terraforming is the fuel that drives the interstellar economy. For some worlds, this is easy. For others, lacking resources, or on the periphery, this is an unattainable dream. Through the eyes of workers, astronauts and intellectuals, Sunlight's Edge follows an attempt to revitalize the crumbled terraforming project of the barren, poverty-stricken and resource-poor planet of Tylo. To carry this out, the beggared planetary government has commissioned the crew of the aging, if powerful asteroid-cracker Caroline Rowland to make the three-month journey to a distant asteroid belt and tug a selected asteroid back into orbit for conversion into a space station. This is difficult enough by itself, but located in a strategic demilitarized zone between two rival interstellar hegemons, Tylo and it's project may be the flashpoint for a conflict of apocalyptic proportions, with the Caroline Rowland and her crew as the spark that lights the tinder. This is the debut novella for the world of Starpiercer, a planned series of novels set in the 200-world region of Solace with accompanying illustrations, sketches, maps, technical details and more. Read along to meet alien species, experience real and speculative technologies, and follow a sprawling interconnected narrative over multiple novels and multiple series, with fully realized histories, culture groups, physics, biology, anthropology and thousands of pages of worldbuilding. This story has been fully written, and more sections will be published daily, hourly, or in other chunks.Concluída
Under the Shadow of the Moon
Luna Vis woke up one morning, or rather one night, to the dim light of the moon. It was a day that started like any other, but turned out unlike any other, setting off the chain reaction that set her life ablaze for a second time. For six years she had lived a new normal after her life was uprooted, but now everything was on the cusp of changing again. Almost exactly six years prior, the world as it was had changed entirely for half of the world. And over a century prior to that, the world had burned. The world burned in silver and in gold, and out of the ashes rose a phoenix: a new dawn for civilization. New cities, new ideas. New weapons. New... insurance policies. Now Luna and her friends are learning first hand what being on the front lines of a war is like. Now they are finally learning what it was the government had kept so secret for six years. Now it is all up to them, but more specifically, up to Luna to stop The Eye and the White Sand from ruining everything. Only months away from her sixteenth birthday, she is handed a purpose that may just be worth a sacrifice. Soon the world will be normal... whatever she chooses that to be.Concluída
The Cosmic Project
In a distant dimension, two advanced alien creators, Maera and Vithar, embark on a cosmic experiment to design a universe within their laboratory-a universe brimming with infinite possibilities, governed by intricate mathematical patterns, probabilities, and cycles. Their project unfolds on a microcosmic scale, yet encompasses vast galaxies, countless worlds, and evolving life forms. Among their creations is a peculiar blue planet, Earth, where conditions align for the emergence of a species destined to intrigue and perplex: humans. Through detached yet curious eyes, the creators observe humanity's rise from simple organisms to complex beings capable of unparalleled innovation, creativity, and destruction. Gifted with emotions, awareness, and intellect, humans are both the architects of wonder and their own undoing. They exploit their gifts, tearing apart the very Earth that sustains them and dividing themselves in pursuit of dominance, driven by greed and ego. As humanity's trajectory unfolds-filled with beauty, chaos, and self-inflicted suffering-Earth itself transforms in response. The creators watch as humanity fades, allowing the planet to heal and begin anew. For Maera and Vithar, this is not a failure but an inevitable cycle of destruction and renewal, a testament to the systems they designed. Their focus shifts to new planets, leaving behind a world that will continue its story without them. This thought-provoking tale blends science fiction, philosophy, and ecological awareness, exploring the interconnectedness of all things, the resilience of nature, and the consequences of humanity's choices. "The Cosmic Project" invites readers to question their place in the universe and consider the delicate balance between creation and destruction, awareness and ignorance, life and the vast cycles of existence.Concluída
