When Noah's wife, Lucy, succumbs to a mysterious paralysis, it marks the beginning of a global catastrophe. A deadly virus spreads rapidly, plunging humanity into chaos and igniting violent delusions among the infected. But the nightmare doesn't stop at Earth. As Noah, his daughter Judy, and his friend Kali struggle to survive, they discover the virus is merely the gateway to a larger, cosmic battle. Their journey takes them beyond our world, into multiple realms and alternate realities where dark forces conspire to consume all existence. Faced with cosmic horrors, shifting realities, and an ever-worsening outbreak, Noah must confront the terrifying truth: the survival of not just his family, but countless universes, depends on him. From a world teetering on collapse to adventures across dimensions, can Noah rise above the chaos and save reality itself before it's too late?

While I know there are areas where I still have room to grow, I hope this story offers a glimpse into my inner world of imagination and exploration.) Thank you for your support!

WARNING!!!!! 18+ fantasy taboo When humanity abandons Earth in search of survival, Captain Elias Carter and his 18-year-old daughter, Lucy Carter, find themselves stranded on the alien planet Kaelora after their starship, Eclipse, crash-lands. The planet is as breathtaking as it is unforgiving, with glowing bioluminescent landscapes, extreme weather, and remnants of a long-lost alien civilization. With no chance of rescue and supplies running low, Elias and Lucy must work together to endure Kaelora's dangers. Elias, a seasoned pilot haunted by the loss of his wife, is determined to protect Lucy at all costs. Lucy, brilliant and bold, is eager to prove herself, taking risks to uncover the secrets hidden in the planet's alien ruins and strange technology. As they navigate the perils of survival, the two grapple with their complex relationship. Elias's cautious nature often clashes with Lucy's impulsive determination, forcing them to confront their grief, differences, and the strength of their bond as father and daughter. When they discover that their crash may not have been an accident and that Kaelora holds the key to humanity's survival, Elias and Lucy are thrust into a race against time. Together, they must unravel the mysteries of the planet and face impossible choices that will determine the fate of not only their lives but also the remnants of humanity. Kaelora is more than a story of survival-it's a tale of love, resilience, and hope in the face of overwhelming odds.
