A stranger in his own body...

An intruder in his own mind...

Okan had no idea he was living the last ordinary day of his life. When he opened his eyes, he was no longer in his own bed but a captive on Aetherion-a distant world beyond the stars.

How he got there was a void; what awaited him, a mystery.

Soon he understood: the brutal warriors around him were not the true threat. The real enemy crouched in the darkest corner of his mind-an alien consciousness that whispered to him, a shadow intent on claiming his body.

The struggle to survive quickly turned into a harsher truth: he was not a fugitive, but a test subject.

The trial he faces is no mere endurance test-it is a fracture of destiny. And the plans laid for him were set long ago.

GATE is a dark tale that melds body-horror possession and military science fiction with an intimate character drama.

It is a journey from the deepest recesses of the subconscious to the ruthless reality of an alien star system-a transformation story written at the crossroads of biology and technology, will and fate, and the clash of two foreign powers housed within a single human being.

This war won't be visible from the outside.

Because the greatest variable is hidden within.

Star Kissed by LizzyFord
21 parts Complete Mature
When Mandy loses her job, she thinks she’s hit rock bottom – until her plane is swallowed by a strange storm that sends her and everyone else on board 10,000 years into the future. At first, she thinks the scary world is nothing more than a bad dream. The war-torn Earth is unrecognizable. Black fog blocks the sun, and the oceans are dry. Even worse: the planet is inhabited by half-human, half-alien creatures dying from a mysterious disease. Horrified at the thought of spending her life here, she clings to the knowledge that there’s one man who can open the star gate to send her home. As the Naki prince who controls the star gate, Akkadi gets first choice of any human female that makes her way through the star gate. Only by breeding with purebred humans from the past can his race hope to remain immune to the disease and hopefully, develop an eventual cure. With shrinking resources and a raging battle for the human planet, dutiful, commanding Akkadi is less than thrilled at the idea of trying to figure out Mandy, a woman he views as wild with neither discipline nor respect for someone in his position. He’s ready to write her off, when she offers him something too tempting to resist: her body for the chance to convince him by any means possible to send her home. Neither intends for the arrangement to be permanent or to fall for the other. Only when Mandy learns Akkadi’s secret and walks away does he realize he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her – even if it means losing his war.

28 parts Ongoing

A soldier of the Earth Defense Force, Sergeant Kenta Ishida, falls in humanity's last desperate battle against the alien primers. His death, a final act of defiance, should have been the end. But fate has other plans. He awakens in a different world - in the body of Youji Itami, a member of the Japan Self-Defense Forces. With no memory of how or why, only instincts and flashes of his past life remain. For over a year, he lives quietly, hiding behind a slacker's smile and diving into otaku culture as a strange form of comfort, trying to find peace in a world that doesn't burn. But peace is never permanent. When a mysterious Gate opens in the heart of Tokyo and monsters from a fantasy realm spill out into the city, Itami's past begins to awaken. Assigned to lead a recon unit into the new world, he must balance diplomacy with survival, all while questioning his own nature. Is he still the soldier who died to save humanity - or has he become something else entirely? One war has ended, but another is just beginning. (This is a fanfiction.
