Adrent Echo
There was no explosion. No fire. No second chance.
Earth died in silence, swallowed by an unnatural black hole that erased history without a trace. No one screamed. No one ran. There was only the pull — and then, the void.
But humanity was not ended. It was scattered.
By a force unknown even to the machines it created, select individuals were plucked from extinction and dropped across a distant galaxy. Each survivor awakened alone aboard a mothership, guided by a hyper-intelligent AI and armed with a handful of randomly assigned blueprints. Some found themselves above vibrant alien worlds teeming with sentient life. Others, like Cassian Vale, awoke to lifeless silence—adrift above a shattered planet and a cold red star, with no civilization, no crew, and no voice but EVA: his AI, his companion, and perhaps his only remaining anchor to humanity.
Cassian's only advantage? A single, exclusive blueprint: the A.V.A. Project — an autonomous robotic base capable of producing machines that could mine, build, and eventually fight. But everything must be earned. Every alloy, every bolt, every advance must be scraped from asteroid stone or stolen from others like him.
As Cassian begins his lonely journey to forge civilization from ruin, he must battle cosmic storms, hostile remnants, resource starvation, and eventually, other survivors—humans who were given different starts, different species to command, and the choice to lead their worlds through science or sorcery, peace or war.
But above them all, watching silently, is the System — an unseen architect that chose who would rise and who would fall… and which god, human or otherwise, would shape the future of the stars.
