'Long before the birth of religion, a great truth was shown to humanity. That truth was hastily forgotten and buried in myth. When I muse on how humanity marches ever forward, I cannot help but feel as though something is coming to remind us all, that we might want to stay right where we are. Lest the eldritch truth be discovered. '
- Prof Frasier, Head of philosophy of the Imperial College of Technology.

THE FOUR SECTORS WARS - Sample Chapters
Six hundred years into mankind’s unexpected exodus from Earth’s solar system due to a prematurely exploding sun, humanoid species have spread far and wide to form a trans-galactic empire. This is in part due to the pioneering genius of Frakas and his bioengineering prowess which allows humanoids to accommodate to new planets readily. It is also secondary to special pod ships and spirit ships left behind by long dead civilizations that allow for teleportation across massive chasms of spacetime. But the empire is torn. War rages in four sectors. The wargods governing each sector want to unite the entire kingdom under one banner, theirs. But each of the sectors has unique challenges and pitfalls that stymie the other warlords, maintaining a stalemate seemingly without end. Enter Raikin and his entourage of followers. In his teens, he is the youngest of the hundred year men to intervene in celestial matters, and he may also have his hands the most full. Will he and his followers be enough to upset the stalemate and bring peace to the universe? Or will the intense fusion of cutting edge science and magic he introduces to the equation simply spread these battles beyond this universe into parallel universes, and the multiverse as a whole? More ominous still, there appears to be outside forces influencing matters in the four sectors beyond anyone’s knowledge or ability to grasp. Some of the tech bequeathed to them by long dead civilizations may have a life and a mind of its own, begging the question, are these distant parties relegated to history, or just to a dimension beyond their current reach?Concluida
Singularity Soon
I did a research project to explore whether The Singularity could happen sooner than expected. Like maybe RIGHT NOW? Technically speaking that turns out to be very difficult, but not impossible, if we assume a series of precise breakthroughs. The storyline depicts the last few weeks before this transition, an event more awesome than anything we can imagine. It's written as a collection of incidents and developments set in the VERY near future. Each brief chapter could be read independently. No equations are used in this version of the story. The main character is not really part of the process, but gets to witness things up close. Unfortunately, there was no way I could make him survive the events.Concluida
The Chronicles of the Milky Way Galaxy : Gaia
A meteorite slams into the earth causing a global catastrophe, the particles on the atmosphere block out the sun for years, slowly cooling the planet leading to a world-wide ice age. Humans find refuge in dome cities, pre-build when the meteorite was detected, which are meant to last under the snow for thousands of years. In the process, technology brings forth the age of immortality and unprecedented automation. The result is a decaying society blind to any cause and drugged to survive the endless parade of years. An idea sparks in the mind of Alex. An idea already rooted in the minds of humans since their early appearance on Earth. Migrate. Within a few years, a team had been formed and a budget had been granted for project Gaia to initiate. The spacecraft "Hera" is built in space, ready to take a few settlers to Solis. A solar system which seems to be ideal for harboring life. Many planets within the goldilocks zone and an abundance of oxygen. Is Alex the hero who will rebuild humanity in a new world or someone who abandoned Earth when it most needed its healthiest minds?

THE HUNDRED YEAR MAN
There have been no communiques from Earth post Singularity. The Martian colonists wonder if the race abandoned space-time altogether. But for right now, they have bigger problems. Their sun is going supernova—well ahead of schedule. The two greatest minds of the time, one a scientist, the other a philosopher, concoct a two-pronged plan to save the human race. Frakas, the bioengineer, will continue to seed humanoid and increasingly alien life forms across the heavens using space warping ships. But higher consciousness isn’t exactly his specialty. And the one man who can be bothered to think beyond mean survival, his philosopher friend, Draxor, must be cloned before he passes. Only he can continue to uplift the ragtag worlds of hearty pioneers with little time to savor the finer things in life. Only he can ensure that, for those who choose to remain in the physical universe post Singularity, evolution will win out against the increasingly stronger pull towards barbarism. Thus is born The Hundred Year Man who reigns before passing the torch to the next clone. There is just one problem. The Hundred Year Man is just a prototype—and he’s flawed.Concluida
Mirror Sky. Part 1 - Blissful Nemesis
The future is predetermined. It can't be changed. But who casts the future in stone? It's you, me, and every one of us. The iron grip of our fate doesn't come from gods or physics but from us. You are oppressed by your future self to walk the one and only road. Knowing the future changes nothing - this knowledge has already been written into your fate. Time travel is meaningless for the same reason - all your meddlings had also become a part of your fate before you even embarked on your journey through time. Could this strange duality of free will and fate be challenged? If so, what would it take? How far are you willing to go to change your dark fate? Is the risk of erasing the universe from existence worth your brighter future?Concluida

WARLORDS OF ANDROMEDA
Three hundred years after Earth’s sentient internet takes the planet into Singularity—and out of spacetime—to avoid a sun going supernova ahead of schedule, the fleeing Martian colonists have found another kind of liberation. Using space warping ships they spread their seed across Andromeda. But if Frakas, the genius bioengineer who created a new Cambrian explosion of humanoid life, and the first of the hundred year men, clones designed to uplift souls, were enough to see them through the first leg of their journey, they are not around to be leaned on anymore. So begins the second trilogy of The Hundred Year Men saga, WARLORDS OF ANDROMEDA, and the reign of Dargan, the second clone. But will the ingenious tactics of Dargan’s warlords be enough to unseat the powers threatening the empire from within as well as from without? Or will these highly evolved humanoid species merely use their genetic and cybernetic enhancements to make better war on a scale never before imagined, using imaginative methods only such technological breakthroughs—not to mention sprawling space armadas—could accommodate? --------------------------- note: the three separate trilogies comprising the Hundred Year Men saga do not have to be read in order.Concluida
Stellar Nexus: Chronicles Across Shattered Realities
When the multiverse cracks, only the forgotten shall remember. Across an infinite lattice of realms, where wormholes carve paths through dimensions and stars burn with coded prophecy, a cataclysm stirs, an ancient, deliberate, and far older than time itself. The Original Continuum is unraveling. Summoned by a cryptic terminal message, seven chosen souls, Sol, Xairo, Caelith, Jacob, Kyle, Aris and Ryn, unaware that they are the last safeguard between existence and absolute collapse. Each bears a dormant connection to a Spirit, a spectral echo of their will, far weaker than a Conduit, yet potent enough to shape reality through combat, memory, and resolve. But the true storm brews far beyond. The Godly Conduits, eternal forces like Absolute Anarchy, Perfect Tranquility, and 0, have begun to stir. Once symbols, now sentient. Once anchors, now fractured weapons. These beings do not serve. They decide the fabric of spacetime itself. With the emergence of the Several God tier Orb, mythical artifacts forged before the First Collapse, and the resurgence of the Veltrian Script, language of the Titans and Aetherials, the past and future bleed into now. Realms are falling into Miasmia, and the Watcher of Phantomnexis has taken the stage, a being who deceived even the Annihilator itself. This is not a battle for peace. It is a war for continuity. A rewriting of meaning. To stand against the coming void, they must transcend what they are. Not champions. Not heroes. But concepts, forged in entropy, bound in memory, and risen through will. There came a time when the prophecy fell, when truth withered into its final testament. From that end rose the arch nemesis, the substantial antimony of all order, wrapped in the shroud of the ultimate miasmia, repeated through histories of Atlantis itself and beyond.
