A secret war. An empire in crisis. One final hope for victory.

Wil Sietinen is driven by duty. Second-in-line to a preeminent family dynasty, the young noble would rather design starships than plot political schemes or battle strategies. But when Wil is kidnapped by a mysterious alien enemy, he discovers that a brutal interstellar war has been covertly waging for centuries-and only his unique telekinetic powers can end the conflict.

Learning that he's the genetic endgame of a generations-long plan to win the war, Wil grapples with his daunting responsibility to become a leader with the skills needed for a decisive military victory. But when he realizes that the enemy isn't who he's been led to believe, Wil faces an impossible moral dilemma as the fate of two civilizations hangs in the balance.

Caught between ruthless adversaries and unsure who to trust, can Wil build the right alliances to secure his galactic empire's future?

This timeless space opera epic with adventure, telekinetic abilities, coming-of-age, romance, and intrigue will appeal to fans of Star Wars, Anne McCaffrey, Frank Herbert's Dune, and the Lensman series by E.E. "Doc" Smith. Join three generations of the Sietinen family as they challenge destiny to win a war and lead a revolution that will change the course of an empire.

"Enjoyable, galaxy-spanning epic series." - Publisher's Weekly 

★★★★★ "Rich setting, engaging characters. Loving this series!" - M. D. Cooper, NY Times bestselling author

Between The Crystals by CrystalScherer
91 parts Ongoing
Enjoy this story for free, available now for a limited time! The aliens kill every human they catch, or in rare cases, put trackers on them to discover their hidden villages. When Natalie is caught in an ambush, she is unexpectedly released. But there is no tracker. The Saursunes have an entirely different motive this time. *** Run. Don't look back. When Natalie is trapped in an alien ambush, she is unexpectedly released. The first human to ever be let go. The Saursunes invaded centuries ago, and everyone knows that getting caught is certain death. Natalie is confused but grateful to be alive. As a porter, one of the few humans with the rare ability to teleport between special crystal formations, she must leave the safety of her desert village every day to help gather food. When other villages increase their raids on the Saursunes' farms, the aliens retaliate by hunting down every human they can find - except Natalie's group. Instead of trying to kill her and those helping her, they bring them food instead. Is it a trap? Or something else? Natalie isn't sure, but one thing is certain: the Saursunes aren't done with her yet. ------------ Updates are Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 11-1pm MST. The story is completed offline, so no worries about it being abandoned!
Survival (May undergo editing) by Chyoko202
18 parts Ongoing
It's life or death. A deadly game I must play for the chance of freedom. One slip, one misstep, and I could be dead. But if I didn't choose to participate, I would stay a prisoner forever. ~~~ Violet has always been the unwanted daughter in the Laurier Family. So, when her father is given the chance to have all the riches he wants in return for a fair, young maiden, Violet is sold away to a creature who calls himself the Beast. Desperate, Violet tries to escape but fails. The Beast strikes a deal with her: If she stays with him for 365 days, and survives all the trials and hardships she will have to face, he will free her. What she doesn't realize, however is that remaining in the Beast's castle means fighting for her survival, and possibly waging a battle between her mind, and her heart.
The Alpha's Outlaw Omega [Completed] by CeritanyaNyai
67 parts Ongoing
Summary [Cold, ascetic top-tier Alpha × Wild, seductive prime Omega] Shao Ye, a die-hard straight man-straighter than the Tokyo Tower-unexpectedly wakes up in an interstellar ABO universe. Worse yet, he's reincarnated as a prime Omega equipped with pheromones so intoxicating they could destabilize an empire. To protect his sacred straight-man dignity, Shao Ye hides his secondary gender and slogs away in the dirtiest, most backbreaking jobs in a desolate Dust Zone. But fate has other plans. When he's discovered by the Alliance military, he's whisked off to the capital planet to enroll in the Omega Virtue Academy-a glorified matchmaking meat market. Failing miserably in every evaluation, he's forcibly assigned to none other than the fearsome top-tier Alpha, Lu Zhanxing. Rumor has it, this man is a beast in more ways than one-a notorious predator who's "accidentally" offed over a dozen prospective Omegas. So Shao Ye does the only rational thing: he bolts. Too bad his new Alpha husband isn't just any brute. Lu Zhanxing is the overlord of the interstellar Alliance, a man who controls entire galaxies with a flick of his finger. Escape? Not happening. Lu Zhanxing, closing in with a whip in hand, growls, "Still think you can run?" Shao Ye glares defiantly, teeth gritted: "What, you expect me to just roll over and play house with you?" But tears pool in the eyes of the stunning Omega.
A HENRY STORY 1: Memories Of The Fallen Prince by AngstQueenRin
42 parts Complete
After committing treason and narrowly escaping death, a selfish prince must learn to adapt, survive, and discover his own potential in the world he never knew existed, beyond Regalia's walls. *** To think it all started with a singular question: "What if the fall in "Gregor the Overlander" wasn't the end of Henry's story, but the beginning?" Well, here is my answer. Today, I invite you to come along on a brand new journey to the Underland - only this time you follow not the Overland warrior but the fallen Prince of Regalia. After committing treason and narrowly escaping death, Henry finds himself cut off from his society, stranded in the unexplored wilds of his world. There, he must adapt, survive, and forge more than one reluctant alliance. Oh, and learn one or another lesson about simple decency while we're at it. Meet new characters and species, and face villains and obstacles as you join Henry on his own personal quest for the curious combination of survival, self-discovery, and, of course, the character development canon never gave him. And what a quest it will be. *** DISCLAIMER: This work is based on Suzanne Collins' "Gregor the Overlander"-series (The Underland Chronicles). It is not recommended to read this work without having read those books. Going forward, I will treat the readers as though they have read the original (there will be massive spoilers, and knowledge of canon characters, events, and universe/lore will be expected). *** © The Underland Chronicles - Suzanne Collins © My Characters - me © Cover Image - me

Season 4 of The Virus Within Trinity is familiar with zombies, being one herself, but when strange zombies start appearing, she realizes that the world she knew might be changing yet again. When a dangerous set of scientific notes are discovered, Trinity and her friends don't realize anything is wrong until a frantic radio call comes in. Unaware of the notes, they race to the south and struggle to determine where the strange zombies came from. The zombies are unlike any ranks previously seen, and they aren't as predictable. Some have new tricks hidden up sleeves, forcing any Stronghold they encounter to quickly adapt to the new challenge or risk being overrun. Secrets never remain hidden, and zombie apocalypses never make life easy.
First Light of a New Age by TIMEMASTER101
123 parts Ongoing
In a distant realm where magic thrives, ferocious beasts shake mountains and rivers with their mighty roars, and individuals wield superhuman strength capable of reshaping their surroundings. It is a magical world where the strong rules. But rampant corruption and chaos exist, where slavery, rape, murder, and discrimination against the weak were all but common. The magically superior people trample over the lesser unfortunate folks, using them as stepping stones and disposable assets. All hope for these downtrodden souls seems lost, but the wheels of fate have other plans for them. In a faraway ocean, one that is filled with demons and sea monsters, a great technological civilization suddenly appeared, one that came from a world that is only filled with chaos and destruction. This civilization became the heaven for people seeking a stable and peaceful life. The Earth rose and seas parted ways, and the environment had totally changed for its adaptability. Unfortunately, the inhabitants of this great technological civilization are all but manaless, arriving in a world where they are seen as inferior and as slaves. How will they react of finding themselves in a world where people can split mountains or bend the fabric of space, and where beings exist that even conventional weapons cannot defeat? How will they survive against deadly monsters, magical beasts, and superhumans that could threaten entire nations? And how will the other powers that exist in this world react to a powerful, advanced nation filled with a race they deem inferior? This is the story of one of the most powerful empires on Earth, and how it broke the balance of power and rose to the top.
