In the far reaches of a decaying galaxy, humanity teeters on the brink of extinction. Overpopulation, dwindling resources, and ecological collapse forced Earth's inhabitants to scatter among the stars in search of salvation. But survival came at a cost. As planetary systems fell into chaos, corporations seized control, offering order but for a costy price ; submission.

From the ashes of humanity's desperation rose New Orion, a vast, gleaming city built on the remnants of a dying star. Touted as a beacon of hope, it became a corporate-controlled metropolis designed to sustain life-but only for those deemed worthy. The Upper Spire, a towering marvel of technology and prosperity, houses the privileged few who dictate the rules. Below, in the shadows of the Lower Spire, millions struggle against poverty, oppression, and violence, their lives governed by the whims of NovaCore, the ruling conglomerate, and their anonymous agents, stripped of identity and loyalty-bound to the corporation.

But New Orion's fragile stability is faltering. The city's dependence on the star's energy has sparked whispers of an Eclipse-a catastrophic event that could consume the last sanctuary of humankind. 

As tensions rise, two opposing Agents are sent on conflicting missions that intertwine their fates. One fights to uphold order, believing in NovaCore's promise of salvation. The other seeks to dismantle the system, exposing the corruption that dooms humanity.

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)

20 years ago, the world was on the brink of extinction when the Galactic Federation saved Earth. Since then, humans pledged their loyalty to serve them. Human's connection with one of the higher beings in the universe, resulted in Earth's civilization rising to a higher level. Two decades passed and new generations rose. I, Alexa Stanfield, a 20-year-old college student, found out that the Galactic Federation saved Earth for a dark purpose. For two decades, we've been conscripted and nurtured under the guise of care, only to unveil our grim fate as pawns in an Intergalactic conflict, thrust into a war we never signed up for. The previous species that Galactic Federation sent were annihilated quickly. Therefore, they were forced to use us, as their new human army, opposing the plan's timing. My friends and I were selected as candidates with the resilience to withstand mind manipulation. We endured an intense training regimen that was more like a deadly game of survival. The Federation believed that this was the only way to prepare us for the war since they have no time to waste on conventional methods. My friends and I share an unbreakable bond and loyalty, soon to be challenged by the most harrowing trials. Armed with only our school learning and raw life experiences, we'll face murder, death, sacrifices, and betrayal. A kid, old, man, or woman, there's no exception, regardless of age or gender. Our training ground? Safira, a verdant moon planet. This is the story of our involvement in the most intense training of our lives.
