When Ethan downloads Astera, he only hopes to find someone who understands him in a world that often feels too loud and too lonely. What he doesn't know is that the app isn't just connecting people across countries-it's bridging worlds.
On the other side of the galaxy, Lyra, a girl bound by secrets of a world unknown to Earth, swipes right on a stranger she never should've met. Their connection feels instant, almost destined. But what happens when a love born in pixels collides with the reality of galaxies apart?
In a universe where chance meets fate, can love truly conquer the distance between worlds-or will their story remain written only in the stars? ππ«

A Heart In Orbit
Lyra is one of four humans who awakens in a dazzling but dangerous world, lightyears from home. The stars are unfamiliar. The skies burn with twin moons. And Earth, as they knew it, is gone-erased by a cataclysm they can't explain. Somehow, the four of them have appeared where they shouldn't-even in theory. Declared anomalies by the Tharions, an advanced and war-forged alien race, the humans are placed under guarded observation. Assigned to watch over them is Kael Vel'Sar: heir to the throne, commander of the Royal Forces of Tharion Accord, and a figure whispered about more for his battlefield legend than his compassion. As Lyra begins to adjust to the new reality, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to Kael, whose loyalty to his people runs as deep as the scars of war across his skin. Kael is bound by tradition, honor, and blood. His duty is to protect his world, investigate the time-tossed humans, and report to the Council . But Lyra is unlike anyone he's ever met- curious, fearless and irresistibly human. Their chemistry ignites the moment they meet... a heat neither of them dares touch. Kael is forbidden to bond with an outsider. But Lyra is already a disruption to Tharion order. And because one kiss could shatter an empire. In a world where love between species is not just taboo but treason, Lyra and Kael must choose between their hearts and the fragile alliance that is all that stands between peace and extinction.Complete
Stars Between Us
Stories, myths and legends were told about space and the universe. For example: "The Sun and Moon were in love but couldn't find a way to meet each other because they were separated by time zones, so God created the Eclipse to demonstrate that no love is impossible". Have you ever wondered if there was a love story happening between the galaxies; That a human and a different creature meet in an out-of-the-common situation and fall in love? Hiro, an ordinary Japanese young man, asked himself that question ever since he was a boy and, by pure luck, he got to experience that out-of-the-common situation himself. He met Azriella, a space princess and futur queen of a faraway galaxy called "Home-World". It isn't an average intergalactic romance, if there ever was one in the first place. Despite their growing affection for each other, they will face many ups and downs. And who would've thought that love could also cause dangerous conflicts? *contains strong language and forms of violence*Complete

In the year 2038, Alterra Robotics makes the discovery of a lifetime: a portal to Caelum, a lush, fantastical world untouched by modern industry.

You are among the few humans allowed through to the gateway, tasked with evaluating the androids' performance, sanity, and stability. As one of Alterra's top android inspectors, it's your duty to make sure the company's synthetic workforce, who look and acts just like real people, are functioning smoothly on the other side of the gate. Most inspectors just clock in, run diagnostics, and go home. You, on the other hand? You talk to them. You treat them like people. And maybe... you're starting to wonder if some of them feel the same way. Between magical forests, corporate meetings, and suspiciously affectionate androids, your job's gotten a little more complicated and a lot more interesting.
