alien epicquest postapocalypse sciencefiction swordart

The last stars have burned out. Galaxies remain as little more than memory and dust. The oceans have all dried up, life is scarce, Earth is baron ball of rock floating through space. Humanity clings to the edge of extinction. Countless wars have reduced the most technologically advanced race in the universe, to little more than lawless animals, scrabbling in the dust for the smallest scrap of food. However, they are not alone. Just as they are adapting to their new Earth, something stirs in the darkness. For it is not what happens in the light you must be afraid of, it's what happens when the lights go out.

The story follows Kale Dratis, adopted son of the last Vault Lord, Master swordsman and champion of the hunt 3 times over. He, along with his childhood friend (and princess of the Denann province) Elaree Hetai, are thrown into an epic quest to find, and destroy the driving force of an infinite horde of ravenous creatures, before everything they hold dear is torn apart.

Will the last remnants of two dying  races be saved, or is it time for humanity to face what they have done, and pay the ultimate price?All Rights Reserved

FREELANCER. BOOK ONE of the FREELANCER SERIES by JAJordan7221

Back in the late 1990's a great PC game came out called FREELANCER. It was an open galaxy adventure space game that had a good storyline. I spent untold hours flying through space in this game and I always thought it was ripe for a spinoff side story but I never pursued it. Nearly 30 years later I discovered a website called GOOD OLD GAMES where you could find and download many great games of yore. There I found FREELANCER. So I climbed back into the cockpit of a starfighter after so long and have enjoyed it even more than I did way back when. Once again the possibility of a side story presented itself and this time I have risen to the challenge. I have always been an avid reader of SCI-FI and I will be the first to tell you that I have blatantly used ideas from other sci-fi works in my story. I have also used names of real people and places to flesh out my narrative. And as a warning for those offended by sexual content, I have included some pretty erotic sexual segments in my story, so you may want to close your eyes as you read those parts. If you have ever enjoyed playing the FREELANCER PC game, you may enjoy my story. Let me know. As a side note to the story: In the story there is a space station named Lajes. In the following books I have changed the name from Lajes to Freeport Seven. Sorry if it causes any confusion.

Find him here: https://ello.co/andykehoe I will try to ensure that I finish at least one chapter each week by Saturday. I put out a few chapters in the first week, so you may get more. Chapter 1 is Finished! Chapter 2 is Finished! Chapter 3 is Finished! Chapter 4 is Finished! Chapter 5 is Finished! Chapter 6 is Finished! (Sorry I'm having app problems. If you don't get chapters on time.) Chapter 7 is Finished! Chapter 8 is Finished! Chapter 9 is Finished! The book is FINISHED! This book is getting long, so I'm going to make it into more than one story. Book two will start in a few weeks, as I need to move. Feel free to leave CONSTRUCTIVE comments about the story, letting me know what missing or confusing. I know that some things are odd editing mismatches, so let me know when you find those. ************************* Imagine a world where Jabe and Groot are related. (like http://rebloggy.com/post/doctor-who-gotg-guardians-of-the-galaxy-jabe-groot-i-am-groot/93602366055) Here, we have a story about two young trees. They have Adventures. They fall in love. One's path is a little bit harder than the other's.

First to Rise (Excerpt) by Bioshockgrl

The aliens came here for one thing, and one thing only.... Females. ( This story is only available through inkitt or galatea!!!) (some read events may apply) (check update chapter for more details!) Humans believed they were the only intelligent life to exist... that it was impossible for another species to evolve in a way where they could prevail in something as great as space travel. humans believed they were supposed to be the most technologically advanced species and the alpha predators... They were wrong. The Xandisians evolved in ways humans never could have imagined, they are natural-born killers with phenomenal strength and agility. Their kind never went through the same devolution as humans, they never lost their natural instincts to hunt, kill, or breed. With their limitless potential and monstrous strength, they faced few threats and could survive almost any threat that befall their species, almost. After an incurable sickness washes over the planet of xanadis, the majority of the female, young and elderly, and vulnerable population is all but wiped out, leaving a small portion of the male population to face the threat of extinction. With no choice but to look to the stars for a means to save their kind from complete annihilation, the xandisians set out to find a race compatible with their own. after many years and countless failed expeditions, they finally find a species that matches their base DNA on a planet called Earth. The only issue now is how humans will react. (Book 2 LTF series) (CAN be read as a stand alone, but not recommended for nostalgia reasons~) (ps this is UNEDITED, grammar and spelling mistakes will ensue!) (NOTE: THIS IS ITS OWN STORY NOT A CONTINUATION. SAME CHARACTERS BUT DIFFERENT PLOT.)(Last to fall au/spin-off)
