Through a series of events involving many miscommunications, organizations designed to handle miscommunications, organizations designed to handle organizations designed to handle miscommunications, telenovellas, teleportation, telekinesis, tilted houses, expensive spaceships, large reptiles, nonsense pseudoscience, universal constants, and a plan to kill the galaxy's most wanted man, they embark on a journey that will end pretty much exactly as you'd expect it would.

A Spaceman by kullman

Aliens? Check. Space soldiers? Check. Murder? Check. Life is never boring in the Cygenus galexy. Set thousands of years in the future, A Spaceman, follows the escapades of a traitor to the human race throughout his lifetime from training as a Space Cadet to ultimately attempting to rule humanity. Aligned with the alien forces, the traitor seeks to rule the humans and aliens and destroy the people he once despised, but he may ultimately destroy himself. Violent good fun , this dark comedy pulls no punches with rotating stream of conscious narrative involving a few moral characters (some of whom actually make it out of it alive). Ultimately, we know the traitor must fall and good must win out, but in the end, do we really want it to? Amoral and highly intelligent the traitor flouts the forces of good and outsmarts the human forces as they gradually inch closer to capturing him, all the while letting the reader in on the fun of unadulterated evil. An addictive guilty pleasure, A Spaceman is an unforgettable ride with a surprise ending. NOTE: If you are offended my same-sex relationships or murder please go elseware.

Endless tournament by denelbek20

In a distant corner of the universe lies the Flat Planet, a mysterious world where the strongest, smartest, and most resilient from countless species across the galaxy gather for the ultimate test-a high-stakes, intergalactic tournament. When humanity is forcefully dragged into this competition, they are pitted against physically superior alien species, each with unique abilities far beyond their own. But raw power isn't the only key to victory. Strategy, intelligence, and the human spirit will prove just as important. Our story follows Aasir and a group of other handpicked human participants-some desperate to return home, others driven by the thrill of competition-as they navigate a series of increasingly dangerous and unpredictable rounds. From intense physical matches to complex mind games, the humans are constantly tested. Along the way, they uncover the hidden dangers of the tournament: non-participating creatures native to the Flat Planet guard valuable power-ups, resources, and even their very survival. As the tournament progresses, the heroes not only face formidable alien opponents but must also contend with the planet's own hostile environment and inhabitants. With billions watching their every move from Earth, alliances will form, rivalries will grow, and the true nature of the Flat Planet Tournament will be revealed. In this cosmic battle, can humanity overcome the odds and prove that heart and intellect are as powerful as any alien strength? Or will they become yet another species lost to the galaxy's most dangerous game?

Frenzy & Torch by MelEBerlin

On an insignificant, backwater planet on the outskirts of the Milky Way Galaxy is the Empire of Gladexus. Two women, Annabelle Marigni and Elizabeth Laminaurus, are soldiers of Gladexus's Knights Council. One is a good-natured half sorceress and half elf; the other is foul-mouthed, bred to kill dragons, and enjoys butchering people with her sword. They are given a run-of-the-mill assignment and have to work together despite being polar opposites and despising each other. During their escapade, an alien crash lands on their world and informs them of a demented rooster's plot to take over the galaxy. They have no clue what to expect-nor do they even know what a toaster is-but embark on a quest to stop the menace before he can launch his invasion and start a cataclysmic war unlike anything the Milky Way has ever seen.

Hybrid: The Awakening by DuNdUnDUN2006

Nobody expects something supernatural to happen to them. Those kind of things only happened in comics. Fairy Tales. Unrealistic dreams that you'd fall asleep to, silently wishing for them to come true. At least, that was what these three teenagers thought. It turns out that there is so much more to their simple universe than they ever could have imagined. After each finding a strange alien artifact, the teens are suddenly thrusted into an intergalactic war. Alien species everywhere are trying to hunt down the most powerful weapons in the galaxy. And they are the ones in possession of it. When they run into a girl that claims to be from another planet, the three kids learn about the power given to them and the responsibilities that come along with it. Instantly, they are the most popular people in the galaxy. And for once, popularity couldn't feel more like a curse. Fighting grudges, fear, and distrust, the Chosen humans must travel to the one place on Earth where they might be safe. And with strange new powers, the teenagers struggle to live in the unfamiliar world they thought they knew so well.

Hopestar: Voyage by Zaznayka74

Despite being an beacon of hope and the myth surrounding him, he still struggles with the demands of a commanding position and ever-present self-doubt.

What should and should not be allowed, when you live outside the 'norms' of the society? This is the voyage of Hopestar, as experiences by three members of its crew.

Fast Cars and Intergalactic Speed Dating by MinaParkes

🌟 2022 Wattys Shortlist! 🌟 Richard Campbell has numerous problems. First among them is Garth, his roommate and business partner. Together, they're launching RiGarTek, a start-up intended to bring more efficient solar power to the average consumer. But Garth is on the very last of Richard's last nerves, and they're broke. Add to this the fact that Richard is still recovering from a nasty divorce, and...well, life isn't great. Richard's main solace is his '72 Camaro. He takes her out to drag race on weekends, which is a great way to get his blood pumping and to relieve some of the stress he's been under...but one night, he returns from a race to find a stranger in his home. A stranger with tentacles, who scarpers with Richard's life's work: the schematics for his revolutionary solar cells. Richard nearly convinces himself that the tentacle-waving burglar is a figment of his imagination, but when he and Garth are nearly killed in their own front yard, they have to face the facts: a space age adventure has swept them up without their permission. Their lives and the lives of many others are on the line, and Richard's not hero material. ...Or is he?

The Final Test by jayseejewel

Earth was overtaken by the Calumnia ten years ago and if it weren't for the alien Occisio race who saved the remnants of humanity, Indi's race would have gone extinct. Now, at the age of sixteen, Indi and the other surviving children are about to complete their training and return to Earth to kill the monster that destroyed their world and killed their parents. However, the children on the Occisio's spaceship have been dismissed one by one in training tests and only a few of them remain. Will Indi prove himself skilled enough to become a soldier? Or will he fail humanity as his parents did? This short story (in 13 parts) is a love letter to fans of Ender's Game and Maze Runner. (I may eventually turn this into a novel but for now, I hope you enjoy this 10,000 word story about hope and overcoming one's weakness.) [This story will appear on other websites as well, such as Royal Road.] #43 IN POST-APOCALYPTIC
