STARBOUND CHRONICLES

The war had torn the world asunder, leaving humanity in tatters. The once-mighty nations that had spanned the globe now lay in ruins, their cities reduced to rubble, their populations decimated. It was a conflict that had raged for decades, fueled by greed, ideology, and a thirst for power. But in the end, there were no winners, only survivors.....
Ava Collins, a young woman in her twenties, stood amidst the wreckage of what was once New York City. The skyline that had once been a symbol of human achievement was now a testament to its folly. The air was thick with smoke, and the acrid scent of burning buildings filled her nostrils. Ava had seen horrors in her short life, but nothing could have prepared her for the devastation that now surrounded her.
She had been one of the lucky ones, or so they said. Chosen by the government for an experiment that was supposed to save humanity. The details had been kept classified, but Ava knew that it involved enhancing human abilities with alien technology. They had become something more than human, something the government believed would turn the tide of the war. But it was too late. The experiment had taken years, and by the time they were ready, the world was on the brink of collapse. The aliens they had hoped to ally with had turned against them, their advanced technology far surpassing anything humanity could muster. They were prodded, injected with strange substances, and exposed to alien artifacts that defied comprehension. The trauma of those days still haunted her, leaving her with nightmares that would wake her in a cold sweat.And then, there was the explosion. The experiment had gone horribly wrong, resulting in a cataclysmic blast that had torn a hole in the fabric of reality itself. The ground had shaken, buildings had crumbled, and Ava had been engulfed in a blinding light. When she had regained her senses, she found herself on a massive spaceship, floating in the void of space.
