Ki Centauri is a man with many faces. The life of a military peacekeeper is not a kind one, and the people he's lost are nearly as numerous as the ones he knows. Time and time again, lives slip through his fingers, and all he is left with is the black skies of people now gone.
Yet human beings cannot live without connections. Somehow, there must be a way to find friends beyond the limitations of Crest and Clan and forge connections that last and truly matter. But is the pain of finding love in an often bleak and broken world worth the cost of of threading a family across the stars?
An ONC 2026 story based on prompts 29 and 69:
"You will meet many people in your life. Many will come and go, but some will leave footprints on your heart."
"The stars are disappearing one by one, and only you can hear their whispers."

The Battle of Euangelion: Reborn
The first book in a coming-of-age series about the origins of evil on Earth and the supernatural struggle for humanity's redemption. The epic unravels through the adventures and misadventures of 18-year-old Alexis Sharp and her unlikely friends as they navigate trials, quests, and secrets that transcend both time and space. If Alexis were offered a choice, she probably wouldn't have chosen this destiny for herself. And yet, it proved to be the most exhilarating rite of passage she could ever have dreamt of. Though initially antagonistic toward the crimes against all that is normal, natural, and proper, a skeptical Alexis slowly begins to embrace her new reality after being abruptly recruited to a mystical Island within the Kingdom of Euangelion where humans enjoy immunity and immortality. Presently safeguarded from outside intrusion by an invisible veil, this Kingdom truly appears to be paradise. But a prophecy linking the demise of the evil exiled Diabolus to a human bloodline and a clandestine operation to obtain a mysterious artifact will soon threaten to change that.Complete![WHEN BEING HOLY WAS DISGRACE [ONC NOVELLA (2025)]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/389211150-256-k499073.jpg)
