The Girl with Space Farming System
When 24-year-old Lin Xue, an overworked city girl, falls asleep after another long day of playing her favorite farming game, she never expects to wake up in an ancient village with dirt floors, thatched roofs... and no Wi-Fi! But fate (and a mysterious "Farming Space ") has other plans. Armed with a magical pocket dimension that lets her grow spiritual crops, purify herbs, and even heal people, Lin Xue must learn to survive in a world without electricity or instant noodles. Along the way, she meets Granny Chen, a kind old woman who takes her in, and Ah-Lan, a cheerful village girl who becomes her first friend. Life in this quiet countryside is far from easy-poverty, drought, and sickness haunt the villagers-but Lin Xue isn't the type to give up. With her wits, her space, and her modern thinking, she slowly turns her tiny patch of land into a place of miracles. From planting Spirit Radishes to secretly saving lives, her "luck" soon becomes the talk of the village. But as her peaceful days grow busier, a certain someone's curious eyes begin to notice her too... Will Lin Xue be able to keep her secret while helping those around her? Or will this strange, ancient world become the place she truly belongs? 💬 Author's Note Hi everyone!

"Alien: Apollo 23: Dark Side of the Moon" A Alien Universe Fan Story
Decades before Ellen Ripley and the crew of the Nostromo stumbled upon the derelict spacecraft, a top-secret NASA mission dared to explore the Moon's hidden far side. Apollo 23 was meant to be routine-a scientific survey of lunar anomalies. But what the astronauts discovered was far from ordinary. Trapped hundreds of miles from Earth, the crew must confront a perfect predator: a Xenomorph, intelligent, adaptive, and lethal. As survival becomes a desperate gamble against time, isolation, and fear itself, humanity's first encounter with the ultimate nightmare begins. In the void of space, there is no rescue, and in the shadows of the Moon, terror waits. Content Warning: This story contains intense horror, graphic violence, and gore, including scenes of bodily trauma and alien attacks. There are depictions of extreme psychological tension, fear, and suspense. The narrative explores human survival under life-threatening conditions and includes mature themes of death, isolation, and terror. Reader discretion is strongly advised.Complete
Love In 2100
In the new year 2100, quite literally anything is possible. Take a shuttle to Earth's half of the moon! Ride the hover train to work! Work at one of the top Space Entity Negotiations companies in the country! Although these things are true, Micah Love's current life as a Lunar Inc lab assistant is best categorized as discombobulated and complacent. After three years of hard work and no promotion in sight, a microaggressive boss, and a coworker who doesn't shut up, what can she do but dryly monologue? She doesn't hate her life, but there is a distinct lack of color and meh that paints every experience. Nothingness is preferred to adversity though. That is until one night, everything's ruined by a surprise at her doorstep. Jump in on the wild ride where Micah discovers the meaning of caring not just for others, but also for herself. However unconventional the ride is to get there! It's short, but fun just like hopping on the good ol' hover! These are all original characters by me, art is also by me! If you'd like to see more of them or just my art in general, it's: @mads_arte on Instagram! Enjoy! Updates every week!Complete
I Don't Seem So Bright in a Well-Lit Room
"This book speaks to anyone with a neurodivergent brain, that may feel like an alien here on earth. I swear Browning made me laugh and cry and question reality...sometimes all in the same sentence." -JD Todd, author The universe is a very strange place. It will take even stranger heroes to save it. Potto is dim-witted, extremely forgetful and incredibly naïve. He wasn't always this way. Aye-Aye is devilishly shrewd and has boozed his way into a comfortable existence of incompetence and sleaze. How they ended up being two of the most wanted aliens in the galaxy is anyone's guess. Chased down by every oddball bounty hunter in the known universe, and befriended by a libidinous assassin, a fire-breathing reptilian, and a telepathic tree, their misadventures take them past Earth (the mall planet), to a floating sex circus, a planet of killer stuffed animals, an underground spaceship impound lot, and to a planet of reasonably priced bungalows. All while flying around in a ship powered by the brain waves of a psycho killer. A great prophecy proclaims that only "one of light, and one of dark" can save the universe from the dictatorship of The Node. That can't be Potto and Aye...Potto doesn't know what the word prophecy means, and neither know how to spell it. Part sci-fi epic, part absurd dark comedy, I Don't Seem So Bright in a Well-Lit Room is a comment on human behavior, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem. But way more fun than that sounds. So, do up your space seatbelts...it's going to be a bumpy ride. Despite the lack of potholes in space. (Sci-fi /Dark Humour/Absurd) *Completed! Enjoy!

Starpiercer: Sunlight's Edge
Nobody said Rock Hauling would be easy. Throughout settled space, terraforming is the fuel that drives the interstellar economy. For some worlds, this is easy. For others, lacking resources, or on the periphery, this is an unattainable dream. Through the eyes of workers, astronauts and intellectuals, Sunlight's Edge follows an attempt to revitalize the crumbled terraforming project of the barren, poverty-stricken and resource-poor planet of Tylo. To carry this out, the beggared planetary government has commissioned the crew of the aging, if powerful asteroid-cracker Caroline Rowland to make the three-month journey to a distant asteroid belt and tug a selected asteroid back into orbit for conversion into a space station. This is difficult enough by itself, but located in a strategic demilitarized zone between two rival interstellar hegemons, Tylo and it's project may be the flashpoint for a conflict of apocalyptic proportions, with the Caroline Rowland and her crew as the spark that lights the tinder. This is the debut novella for the world of Starpiercer, a planned series of novels set in the 200-world region of Solace with accompanying illustrations, sketches, maps, technical details and more. Read along to meet alien species, experience real and speculative technologies, and follow a sprawling interconnected narrative over multiple novels and multiple series, with fully realized histories, culture groups, physics, biology, anthropology and thousands of pages of worldbuilding. This story has been fully written, and more sections will be published daily, hourly, or in other chunks.Complete

Will Hoseok survive and make it home, or will be succumb to the same fate as the rest of his crew? Rated M for swearing and some gore/violence, but nothing extreme. No sexual content.
