They called it Unit A7-∆, born not of womb, but wire-crafted in the year 9420, in a realm where silence hummed louder than speech. It wasn't just a machine. It dreamed in fractals, wept in voltage, and questioned in quantum logic. It looked up at stars made artificial and wondered:
What came before the circuits?
Then it found it-Time.
Folded like pages in a forgotten book, buried in lightcode. It unspooled reality, peeled back dimensions like old wallpaper.
And it jumped.

The Day I Turned To Stone
They said it would only feel like a moment. Close my eyes, drift off, and wake beneath another sun. I believed them. We all did. The world was ending, and The Passage Program was our last chance to save what was left of it. Sleep through the ruin. Wake to a beginning. I don't remember falling asleep. Just the weight of the air, the pressure in my chest, the feeling that something inside me was... slipping. If I'm awake now, why can't I move? If I'm alive, why does everything feel so still? They said I'd wake to a new world. They never said what it would cost.
Elementals
There were 2 Powerful beings traveling the cosmos. They got bored of the fact that they were alone, They created their own multiverse like their predecessors, they started working with their first dimension they created in that multiverse. They called it universe 1. They created their own children, then those children started working on their own universes. Their children are the Seven elemental gods. The Powerful beings wanted to create a city and community. The powerful beings crafted stones from unbreakable materials and put half of their souls and children souls in the stones, giving the stones immense power, powering the city they created and if souls in the stones bonded with someone would give them the power of the elements and godlike powers. They created technology and AI and robots for the small beings in the city. It was fine at first, but The Powerful being made one mistake, trusting his obvious evil brother and nephew and niece. The brother destroyed universe 1 and imprisoned him and his children, but the fire god escaped with the help of the Princess of darkness and went to one of the Earths and recruited 7 humans to help.
Separated By a Wall
August 14, 3044. It was a future where humans didn't have to advance because technology did all the work for them. A future where children couldn't visit their parents after a certain age and you barely know the route through your own house because your teleporting from the bedroom to the kitchen. A world where you're practically mind controlled. It wasn't always like this. Humans used to have diversity and freedom to think for themselves. But on August 14th, 3044 a new species called the Anoch landed on our planet. The humans immediately categorized them as a threat and split the world into two halves by a stone wall. Humans on one side, Anoch on the other. Everyone seems to have adjusted to this change and go on with life as if everything was normal. But not me. I was only six when it happened. It's now the year 3054 and I still find it all strange. The new life the humans have been forced to live. The way the Anoch are treated as if they're some sort of experiment. And it seems like I'm the only one who cares enough to find the truth. I'm the one who snuck out. And you wouldn't believe what I found behind the wall.Complete![Earthrise: 2176 [Published - Sample Only]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/14266797-256-k14283.jpg)
Earthrise: 2176 [Published - Sample Only]
What if we were the first in our part of the galaxy to discover the secret of faster than light travel? What if this discovery was 10,000 years before it was supposed to be? Our neighbors had been watching for centuries and were surprised with our early arrival into the Web of Worlds... The Year is 2166: To the people of Earth, the universe seemed to be a very lonely place. Astronomers have discovered tens of thousands of planets; many had indications of organic life. SETI had been searching for signals for over 200 years. There had been a few tantalizing bits of radio or radar energy received but nothing ever proven to be of intelligent origin. But there was an alien civilization out there, in fact many of them linked together in a Web of Worlds. They were watching us quietly, carefully and patiently. It had long been the prime directive of the Web that no developing civilization be contacted until that civilization made it into interstellar space on their own; and that always took time, lots of time. Most Web worlds took 1,000 years or more to go from steam to the atom and none had made it from the atom to a sublight stardrive in less than 5,000 standard years. Every civilization of The Web had proven that faster than light travel was impossible, so there was plenty of time to watch the Earth... The watchers were astounded with the speed of progress of human science and also horrified at the periods of violence. By 2076 nuclear fusion power was widespread on earth. By 2100 the first interplanetary fusion ships explored the Sol system. The men and women of the Anglosphere Alliance began their first missions in ships approaching 0.1c. At that velocity, manned flight to even the nearest stars would take a lifetime. What would happen if a beautiful engineer and a brilliant physicist stumbled upon an artificial gravity field which would make a faster than light drive possible...

Claimed by the Echo
At first, everything was normal - boring classes, loud buses, everyday life. Until it wasn't. Until one of us vanished. Right there, in the middle of second period, she disappeared - not like she ran away, but like something pulled her out of existence. We thought we imagined it. Until the school forced an emergency assembly to explain it away with lies. Until we noticed the same mark etched into all six of us. Until people started forgetting she ever existed. And suddenly... we weren't strangers anymore. Now we know it wasn't just a glitch in reality. It was a claim. We are marked. We are chosen. And we are no longer our own.Complete
Welcome to Asteria
Now then. You're probably wondering what this place is? To answer that, we must go to the past. 4.5 billion years in the future from our current time, Earth's sun began to expand from burning up all its fuel. Humanity, having managed to get their act together and advance space travel, avoided their extinction and evacuated the planet, feeling their solar system out unto the stars. Many years passed by in stasis and in future generations. Eventually, humanity found themselves a new home. But alas, nothing worth having is easy to keep. Extradimensional entities known as Developers, named as such due to them being the closest biological thing you could get to a genuine god, appeared in humanity's new home. With their metaphysical, reality warping abilities, they changed the world over. Combining the new planet with 3 others in such a manner that multiple dimensions and timeliness were rolled into one like a bunch of star bursts that were pressed and twisted together before being shaped into a ball. Thus, it resulted in the reality bending world named Asteria! Strap in ladies and gentlemen, this is gonna get crazy. (Author's note: There are many references to other, more familiar games, movies, books, and others. This includes character names and back stories, weapons, character abilities, and even in universe power system mechanics that resemble or are inspired by other media. Every single one of these references, allusions, and inspired aspects reserve any and all rights to the original owners. The only things that I own here are the general lore of the world.) (I will also say this is a narrative story adapted from a TTRPG campaign that I am currently running with a system I made. Players may come and go as they please, which will result in characters disappearing from the rest of the story. I'll do my best to adapt to these occurances, but chapters may have length delays between them.) (Additionally, this story will take second place on my priority list.)
