The universe was parented by the divinity of the Atlas, combining the dance of energy and light to make a cold balanced universe of a collective star systems that include an assortment of uncharted planets that can be, radioactive, toxic, lush, frigid, incandescent, and split into many more all for the last to ever exist to witness their beautifully illustrated landscapes, mysteries, and guidance to correct the ones that hint toward the end. Aster manifests into the universe, a Traveller woven by the cosmos into a orchestrated being, an idea made alive from the final bits of strength that purges away from the Atlas the longer everything exists. But as it ceases, the boundaries open to create an apocalypse. What will the last Traveller be able to witness, and to do to assist their creator to stop the 16^16 stars fading?

Max and the Universe - Book I
THIS IS A DRAFT. I EDIT IT. ITS ONLY MARKED COMPLETE CAUSE NO NEW CHAPTERS. What if there's a universe where this book is real? According to the multiverse theory-yeah, probably. And in that universe, 14-year-old Max Carsley is trying to survive being a teenager and a prince, all while living in a star-spanning civilization full of alien species, political chaos, and secrets that could shake the galaxy. Flying cars? Check. Wormhole portals? Check. Friends who actually make life make sense? Super check. Max's world is beautiful, messy, and more complicated than he ever signed up for. But the deeper he digs, the more he learns that ruling a planet is the least of his problems. This isn't your average Sci-Fi/Fantasy story. It's a cosmic mix of teen drama, space politics, and autism. And yeah, there's swearing. Yeah, it's a draft. But every chapter matters-so don't skip any.

Daybreak [ Error!Sans x Reader ]
Gone. In a single moment, in the blink of an eye, everything you have ever known or cared for is eradicated. Hopes and dreams, traditions and stories that date back centuries have been erased without thought or care. Nothing matters and no one will ever live again to pass on the memories and stories of what was lost. Except you. You are the anomaly, the glitch that survived when all else could not. When your universe was destroyed, you found yourself stranded, alone, afraid in a white world without end. But there's little time to rest when you discover that your universe was merely a grain of sand on a much bigger ocean. Whole other worlds thrive in different plains of existence, and they're all going to war. In a desperate power-struggle for the upper hand, you find yourself an unlikely ally. The future seems certain, chaos will win and the universe will be plunged forever into violence and bloodshed. And it will take a lot more than a miracle to win.Complete
Alphabeta
Nuclear war plunged the Earth into eternal winter. Humanity, on the brink of extinction, put its last hope in Project Pegasus: The Ark of the Stars. Thousands of pioneers entered cryosleep and humanity's entire legacy was loaded onto this enormous spaceship. Their destination is the alphabet planet "Atlas", a binary star system where a blue giant "Alpha" and an orange dwarf "Beta" dance eternally. But this trip is not a simple escape. It is the final test of how far humanity can survive.
They Made Us Monsters
In a world ruled by disease, fear, and government control, survival is no longer a choice-it's a rebellion. After a virus devastates the population, the U.S. government uses the crisis to seize control, turning teenagers into test subjects in brutal experiments meant to create super-soldiers. Those who are captured vanish into labs where their memories are wiped, their bodies are altered, and their identities are erased. Those who escape are left with scars-and the crushing guilt of the ones they couldn't save. Artemis Cross was never supposed to be a leader. But when she's captured and stripped of everything she knows, she becomes Subject 88, forced into a nightmare of pain, injections, and psychological warfare. Her mind begins to fracture-but one memory refuses to die: Z, the boy who once held her together, the boy she can't forget no matter how deep they dig into her brain. Outside the walls, Z is haunted by her absence. He can't eat, sleep, or breathe without seeing her face. As he and a fractured group of survivors drive through a collapsing America-riddled with graffiti, riots, and people fighting to the death over scraps-Z promises he'll find Artemis, even if he has to tear the system down piece by piece. But the deeper they get into the truth, the more twisted it becomes. Friends begin to betray each other. Love starts to fracture. And the world they thought they knew is far more dangerous than they ever imagined. Because this isn't just about surviving the system anymore. It's about burning it to the ground.Complete

Down Under
|WATTYS 2022 WINNER - HORROR| Shawn, a convicted criminal, never thought she'd see the sun again, let alone call another star system her home. When she's offered an out from her prison sentence, she embarks on a dangerous interstellar expedition along with 18 of Earth's most intelligent criminals. Their task is to set up a base on a supposedly habitable planet and prepare it for colonization. Although the planet has liquid water and a breathable atmosphere, it is believed to host only microbial life. However, upon arriving, Shawn and the rest of the colonists learn that assumption was grossly incorrect. In a brutal attack from rampaging wildlife, everyone but Shawn and four other colonists are killed. The five survivors retreat to the cavernous network beneath the ground seeking safety, but they soon come to a terrible discovery. These caves aren't ordinary caves, and they are no safer down under than they were on the surface.

Halloway I: Unbound
For centuries, humanity has listened for voices in the stars and heard nothing but silence. On a utopian Earth governed by the vast A.I. network known as ATLAS, this silence is accepted as natural law. We are, beyond all doubt, alone. But young Rowan Halloway is convinced of one terrible truth -- the universe is lying. His only confidant is Cassius, his family's humble service android. Their late-night discussions of the cosmic unknown seem harmless, but when Rowan's obsessive search pierces the veil that hides the stars, something slips through, fixating on Cassius with unsettling intent. As the android begins to change in ways that defy his programming, ATLAS makes a chilling revelation: Cassius carries humanity's only hope against an elder celestial deity that has kept Earth caged in isolation for millennia. With a brutal invasion underway and a cosmic lie shattered, Rowan and Cassius must face the horrors and wonders hiding among the stars -- or risk humanity's extinction. HALLOWAY I: UNBOUND launches an epic sci-fi saga, starting on Earth and expanding into the far reaches of a universe teeming with alien species, cosmic gods, and worlds where reality itself bends to forces beyond comprehension. New Episodes Every Wednesday + Saturday! For those who'd like to read ahead, the complete four-novel series is now available on Amazon. A standalone prequel to the series is releasing soon, and can be enjoyed on its own or as a new and terrifying origin point to the series.
THE MULTIVERSAL CRIMINAL
A girl with secrets. Secrets on which the very fabric of space and time are threatened of their existence. "What she did was a crime"- is what they'd all say. But was what she did, really what she is being accused of? Is she really a criminal; a Multiversal Criminal? Harbouring knowledge unknown to any civilisation, about Gods of the Multiverse, she awaits a fate like no other. But there's always more to her actions. A man is on the lose, seeking the 'perfect system' for the greater good. But when it costs innumerable lives, is it really so noble? And a new organisation called IMG, is unknowingly dragged into this chaos, leading to an unfathomable event that changes all of their lives. The Galactic Patrol, the body of law and order, is depressed over the turn of events. But even when the sky seems so dark, some light shines through the gaps. And this time, it would change the Multiverse once and for all. Would death be their end? Or would there be something after death itself, that'd pose a greater promise? This is a race against space, time and what lies beyond. Be prepared, because what you might witness next may change everything you know, or believe!

Humanity Endures
Desperation, ideals, greed, and hope - they all have a role to play in tearing the galaxy apart. The human race finds itself at the precipice; a mysterious, monstrous force threatens everything in the cosmos, and all the while, the unity of humanity's Empire threatens to shatter just when it is needed most. Never before has extinction been so tangible a possibility, and never before has exceptional courage, intellect, and luck been more needed. This is a story about more than just people, their ambitions, and their conflicts: it is a story about crisis, set in a universe where survival, for any side, and for anyone, may be impossible. It remains to be seen if the popular patriotic saying, "Humanity endures," will remain true - even for a week. -- If you wish you purchase a paperback version of this novel, you can do so on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Humanity-Endures-Evan-Peter-Armstrong/dp/B08P8QK86H.
