The Red Awakening: A Martian Discovery
In the year 2247, humanity finally set foot on Mars, the red planet long thought to be barren and lifeless. The first astronauts, pioneers of a new era, landed on the rusty plains with a mixture of awe and trepidation. They expected a desolate landscape, the remnants of a once-thriving planet, but what they found instead was a shocking truth.
Beneath the dusty surface, thriving cities pulsated with life. Towering structures, crafted with an unknown technology, pierced the Martian sky. Streets hummed with activity, filled with creatures unlike anything humans had ever seen. These beings, technologically advanced and possessing unimaginable abilities, watched the astronauts with calm curiosity, their existence a silent rebuke to humanity's arrogant assumption of being alone in the universe.
As the first contact unfolded, the Martian civilization revealed a history far older and more complex than humanity's wildest dreams. They shared knowledge beyond human comprehension, forcing the astronauts to re-evaluate everything they thought they knew about the universe, their place in it, and the very nature of life itself.
The Red Awakening is a thrilling tale of discovery, challenging preconceptions and exploring the profound consequences of encountering a superior intelligence. It's a story that asks us to consider our place in the universe, the nature of life, and the challenges and possibilities that lie ahead as we venture beyond our own planet.

First to Rise (Excerpt)
The aliens came here for one thing, and one thing only.... Females. ( This story is only available through inkitt or galatea!!!) (some read events may apply) (check update chapter for more details!) Humans believed they were the only intelligent life to exist... that it was impossible for another species to evolve in a way where they could prevail in something as great as space travel. humans believed they were supposed to be the most technologically advanced species and the alpha predators... They were wrong. The Xandisians evolved in ways humans never could have imagined, they are natural-born killers with phenomenal strength and agility. Their kind never went through the same devolution as humans, they never lost their natural instincts to hunt, kill, or breed. With their limitless potential and monstrous strength, they faced few threats and could survive almost any threat that befall their species, almost. After an incurable sickness washes over the planet of xanadis, the majority of the female, young and elderly, and vulnerable population is all but wiped out, leaving a small portion of the male population to face the threat of extinction. With no choice but to look to the stars for a means to save their kind from complete annihilation, the xandisians set out to find a race compatible with their own. after many years and countless failed expeditions, they finally find a species that matches their base DNA on a planet called Earth. The only issue now is how humans will react. (Book 2 LTF series) (CAN be read as a stand alone, but not recommended for nostalgia reasons~) (ps this is UNEDITED, grammar and spelling mistakes will ensue!) (NOTE: THIS IS ITS OWN STORY NOT A CONTINUATION. SAME CHARACTERS BUT DIFFERENT PLOT.)(Last to fall au/spin-off)Complete
