The Unified Terran League frontier world Argon was a peaceful planet with a stable economy and a small industrial might, mainly exporting excise food and rare minerals. One day however when a new planetary governor backed by local corporations take control everything changed, the mostly equal focused colony suddenly veering towards more a more industry and corporation focus. Taxes were raised, more corner cutting factories and mines opened, inflation skyrocketed, pays decreased, and any protests were violently put down by private security and military forces. The local garrison of soldiers from the U.T.L did nothing as its command structure was corrupted as well, many commanding officers being bribed to stay out of it and even block all outgoing communication minus military and government. Two years of this passed by a group known as the Wolves arrived on the planet by unknown means but began to train a local rebel force strong enough to challenge the local government, slowly wedeling down the private armies through raids and infiltration missions until finally a massive uprising occurs. The local U.T.L Garrison didn't even get a chance to deploy as their facility was blown up several bomb, the capital quickly falling with the garrison. 30 years later the planet is under new governance under the banner of the Argon Confederacy and guarded by the Argon Defense Force. The Wolves remain, helping the planet remain free and safe. Now many factories and mines lay abandoned, the planet almost returning to the same as before the new governor took over. Everything was fine, everything was great, the U.T.L not even bothering to send a fleet to deal with them. Everything looked like it'd remain peaceful, remain good.........that was until orbital satellites and the newly built A.D.F space station detected three unknown ships entering the system.

Five kids grew up together in Harlan, Texas, and then they scattered - one to the Army, one to a hospital, one to the power grid, one to nowhere good, and one who never left at all. Fifteen years later, at 4:17 on an ordinary morning, the lights go out. Not a storm. Not an accident. Within seventy-two hours a foreign army is landing on the Texas coast, and the only road between the invaders and the heart of the country runs straight through the town that made them. So they come home. A burned-out Ranger who can't outrun what he's good at. A flight nurse who's kept a rifle hidden in a camera bag for nine years. A grid engineer who watched the country die from a control room and is the only person alive who understands what the enemy really wants. A dirt-road smuggler who trusts no one and shows up loaded down with everything a town is about to need. And the one who stayed - a contractor who knows every road, culvert, and load rating in the county, and the exact weight of everything he owns. They haven't spoken since the summer they lost the sixth of them to black water. Now they have to become something together, before an occupying army decides a town full of "farmers and loggers" isn't worth taking seriously - and finds out, one hard night at a time, exactly how wrong that is. But the enemy isn't the only thing that came home with them. And some water never gives back what it takes. They didn't come back to be heroes. They came back for the people they love - and the ground that made them.

''Man's best friend.'' ''The one you least suspect.'' Picture this; Two extraterrestrial operatives. One black, one white. One curly, one silky. One diligent, one... well -- not as diligent. Nevertheless, both have been paired together, and assigned to a Low-Priority Celesphere by the name of Earth. Their objective is loud and clear: 1.) Blend in among the dominant inhabitants without raising suspicion. 2.) Gather valuable intel on said inhabitants' strengths and weaknesses. 3.) Exploit those weaknesses and usurp the planet as their own territory. Like a wolf in sheep's clothing; And all in the name of the ever-expanding Cana'Nin Empire. Rest assured, these pitiful Earthlings won't know what hit them. That is, if Ms. Adrieau's two "pets" ever get around to it. Though to cut 'em some slack, planetary conquest is no simple task. Especially when there're squirrels to investigate, mail carriers to monitor, and belly rubs to be had.

# ASTRA RIFT: WAR OF THE THREE WORLDS The world did not end in a single night. It began with mysterious communication failures, strange lights in the sky, and phenomena no one could explain. Raka Pradana was just an ordinary young man living a normal life in Jakarta. He was not a soldier. Not a scientist. And certainly not a hero. But when the sky finally split apart and a gateway to another world opened, Raka's life changed forever. Beyond the dimensional rift lay a world filled with kingdoms, magic, monsters, and technology humanity had never known. But they did not come to visit. They came to wage war. As Earth struggles to defend itself from the invasion, Raka is slowly drawn into a conflict far greater than anything he could have imagined. Two worlds. Two civilizations. One war. But the deeper Raka searches for the truth, the clearer one terrifying reality becomes. Earth and the invaders' world are not the only worlds connected by the rift. There is a third world. And when its existence is finally revealed, the war between two worlds may become the beginning of the end for them all. **When the sky breaks, the fate of three worlds begins.** --- **Genres:** Science Fiction, Fantasy, Action, Adventure, Mecha, War, Drama **Status:** Ongoing **Volume 1: The Last Days of Normality**

A hundred years ago, Earth was struck by a cataclysm that shattered reality itself. Rifts opened across the planet, unleashing monstrous beings from unknown realms. In response, humanity evolved-the Awakened were born, individuals capable of wielding supernatural abilities tied to an energy called Astral Force. By the time Hera reached sixteen, it was common knowledge-every human was destined to awaken their abilities on their birthday. Except she didn't. Branded as an outcast in a city overrun by beasts, she was forced to hide with other low-ranked survivors. But when a disastrous battle at the city center pushed her to the brink of death, something inside her finally awakened-not as an elemental wielder, not as a warrior, but as something unseen in human history. A Spirit Summoner. However, her power was flawed. Unlike others, she could not summon creatures directly-only borrow their abilities. Mocked as a failed summoner and thrown into the weakest class, Hera soon realized the truth. Her ability wasn't just rare. It was unique. And when the war for Earth's survival spiraled into an interdimensional struggle between higher worlds, Hera found herself standing at the center of a battle far beyond mere monsters and awakeners. Because buried in the depths of her power lay a secret even she didn't understand. The Spirit King's Legacy. And the fate of Earth itself rested in her hands.

Eighteen-year-old Kara is in her first semester of college at Syracuse University. As a film major, she has big dreams of moving to Chicago, Los Angeles, or Atlanta and making it big in the industry post-graduation; but, being kidnapped and turned into a fire-breathing Mini Dragon wasn't exactly a part of those plans for her future. Being unwillingly turned into a cat-sized dragon after a fun night out almost certainly wasn't a part of her plan, and an alien invasion out of the blue further complicates things. Will Kara- now a dragonet without a mind voice- be able to make it in this new world? Inspired by Upon Wings of Change by Crystal Scherer.

Mais dans un monde où chaque choix peut être le dernier, certaines blessures sont plus difficiles à guérir que les morsures.
