The void. Infinite, oppressive, unfathomable. An eternal void. And yet, it whispers.
Every two years, at each conjunction, ships rush toward New Gaea, carrying settlers, goods, and the promise of a better future. Ryan Conrad is among them. Not for a mission, nor a quest, but to reunite with his brother after four long years of absence.
In the shadow of Global Control's great decisions, humanity expands, adapts, and relentlessly shapes its destiny. Access to New Gaea's resources has shattered the old order, erasing the hardships of a world once doomed to austerity. But progress comes at a cost, and some are beginning to wonder whether this newfound balance is as stable as it seems.
As Ryan prepares to set foot once more on the most precious of moons, one thing becomes clear: everything has changed. And this journey will be more than just a simple visit.
Where the stars fall silent, the void whispers eternally.

Eternal Metamorphosis
Earth has been transformed into an unpredictable nightmare by an alien force, its landscapes constantly shifting in time. Forests become oceans, mountains dissolve into endless plains, and creatures born of chaos emerge in every corner of this broken world. But the greatest threat comes at night. Shadowy predators that hunt in the darkness, vanishing only when struck by light. In the midst of this chaos, a 20 year old woman struggles to protect the only family she has left: her 10 year old brother. Together, they navigate a world that reshapes itself without warning, battling both the horrors around them and the haunting question of what caused this catastrophe. Driven by love and relentless determination, she fights to keep him safe. Even as the darkness closes in. Elyra "This world tears everything apart. The skies, the earth, the things we love, everything is devoured by this merciless transformation. Forests turn into oceans, deserts into dense jungles, and what was once home yesterday is nothing but a shadow today. In this world, constantly dragging us into the abyss, I have only one purpose: to protect my little brother. He can't see how often I cry at night, how often the fear eats away at me. The shadows are the worst. They come from the darkness, they hunt, they consume. I've seen things I'll never be able to forget. But as long as I'm breathing, I'll keep fighting. For him. For us. This world wants to tear us apart, but it will never succeed. Not as long as I'm here."Complete

Dawn of the Starships (Formerly called A Starship Called Starsong)

As truths emerge, the AI realizes that even computers can make miscalculations, and it focuses on the young woman who had dared to confront it. Rachel is left floundering when the AI decides that she would make an excellent captain, albeit one in need of training. As she struggles to learn her new duties and dodge shady government groups, she must ultimately discover what it truly means to be a Starship Captain. ------- There is no romance in this story.
