In a galaxy ruled by energy and entropy, a silent invasion begins.
The Concord - a digital-born civilization from the deepest layers of forgotten code - once thrived on a world built entirely from RAM. But now, their system is collapsing. Desperate and calculated, they tear open a rift into realspace, setting their sights on the stars beyond.
A high-speed space train, bound for a distant system, is hijacked by Concord agents. Unbeknownst to them, aboard that train is Jay Fulcrum - a multiversal knight with a mission of his own. As fractured alliances form and data-born soldiers clash with flesh-and-blood defenders, the battle for reality ignites.
Across war-torn systems and artificial skies, the line between code and consciousness blurs. Can the universe survive the Concord's conversion... or will everything be reduced to usable memory?
The Concord Crisis is the beginning of a galaxy-spanning saga, where space is data, trust is scarce, and identity is the most valuable resource of all.

Just a personal project of mine! I write slowly and constantly make edits, so I'm sorry if this takes forever. --- ARC:Re is a mythic space-fantasy that follows Kassian, Chanel, and Faust as their lives are upended by powers far greater than themselves. Somewhere in deep space, the nearly life-like androids known as Technics rule over grand empires: The Syndicate, led by Lord Fremax Canavagh, is a highly successful, militaristic dystopia-- a propaganda machine deadset on expanding its influence across the stars. The Core, led by Emperess Evefra Breloux, is an artificial planet that travels the cosmos; a war-world gilded with gold and jewels, seeking new prey. They stand as opposing forces, their rivalries forged by celestial deities and fated in the stars. Yet against all odds, the two empires declare peace. What starts as the first step towards a better future shatters into chaos. Caught in the crossfire, Kassian, Chanel, and Faust are thrown into a cosmic struggle beyond their comprehension. They're forced to settle their differences for the greater good, confronting political secrets hidden behind every corner. As they journey deeper into the unknown, they come face-to-face with the haunting enigmas beyond their world-- even beyond their time.

Turing Test
In the year 2150, emotions are a forgotten language. Feelings, outlawed. Humanity, reduced to an unfeeling, cold existence under the iron rule of The Regimen. But deep in the monochrome labyrinth of this dystopian world, a glitch emerges in the matrix of perfection. Cora, a brilliant government engineer responsible for maintaining the emotion-suppressing technology, experiences an unexpected malfunction. Suddenly, she is overwhelmed by a wave of foreign sensations - emotions. An all-consuming vortex of joy, fear, anger, and a deep-seated love for her fellow engineer, Eli. In a world stripped of color, Eli is an enigma. A member of a burgeoning underground rebellion, he hides a powerful secret - a genetic mutation that makes him immune to emotion suppressants. Eli has known the pain and pleasure of feelings all his life. Now, he becomes Cora's compass in her chaotic new reality, guiding her through the wild storm of emotions and introducing her to a hidden world fighting for emotional freedom. Cora and Eli are drawn together by a bond neither can explain, a shared emotional journey that stands in quiet defiance against The Regimen's frigid rule. As Cora navigates the thrilling highs and devastating lows of human emotion, a choice looms - return to a life devoid of feelings, or risk everything for the rebellion and the tantalizing promise of emotional freedom. --------------- A 10 part seriesComplete
