Fading Stardust

The world ended—twice. Liam should have died along with it. Instead, he woke up with a system whispering of sovereign paths he was never meant to walk, an interface bound to something far older than the Dominion’s rule. Alone, hunted, and bound by a directive he barely understands, he fights to carve a place for himself in a world where fractured gods and cybernetic overlords rule what remains. In the Genesis Protocol’s void, where reality unravels, he faces echoes of celestial experiments, shadows of himself that seek to consume him. His body is bruised, ribs aching, strength fading—but he refuses to fall. “You do not belong,” the void whispers. Liam wipes the blood from his mouth, smirking. “I get that a lot.” And then, he raises his blade. Because if the world won’t make space for him—he’ll tear one open himself.

This is a translation. I could hear the hum of life in my ears. It was hard to breathe…. … I raised my gaze and stared into the distance. However, my blurred vision could not see anything. The light began to fade. That was my last memory. When I opened my eyes once again, it was 10 years before that last memory took place. And of all the things I could have become, it was from the enemy country that drove Secretia to ruin – I became Kyris’ third prince Calian.

The System ruled everything—until it collapsed. Once, it decided who thrived and who perished, raising legends and crushing the weak.

System cults, warlords, and those who refuse to let the past die are all after him. In a world where forgotten knowledge is deadlier than any weapon, Aden must fight—not to change the world, but to make sure it doesn’t bury him first.

En el Río Xishui, vivía una familia con el apellido Ruo, cuya suerte era tan desastrosamente mala que parecía que la desgracia poseía sus propias almas. Cuando otras familias tenían cosechas abundantes, la Familia Ruo no cosechaba un solo grano. Las verduras que plantaban eran devoradas por insectos, sus gallinas contraían la peste aviar, sus cerdos la fiebre porcina... A pesar de que el hogar estaba lleno de hombres fuertes, estaban locos, lisiados o ciegos... Lo que podría haber sido una familia de grandes perspectivas se convirtió en la más pobre en un radio de diez millas. Lo único que otros envidiaban de la Familia Ruo era ¡sus florecientes miembros masculinos! La anciana de la Familia Ruo había dado a luz a seis hijos, quienes luego le dieron cuatro nietos. Soñaba día y noche con tener una nieta. Cuando finalmente tuvo un nieto, para su consternación, el niño era mentalmente discapacitado: con más de tres años, todavía no podía hablar ni caminar, ni siquiera podía comer o aliviarse sin ayuda. ¡Todos pensaban que la Familia Ruo nunca cambiaría su fortuna en esta vida! Eso fue hasta que el niño de tres años, mentalmente discapacitado, de repente dijo —Mamá... Los cielos comenzaron a cambiar. El mundo empezó a volverse misterioso. En el patio de la Familia Ruo, los caquis maduraron de la noche a la mañana. Las verduras en los campos, casi devoradas por los insectos, se volvieron frondosas y verdes. La gallina vieja que nunca había puesto huevos de repente comenzó a poner... Mientras otros enfrentaban hambrunas, el granero de la Familia Ruo estaba lleno. El hijo mayor ya no estaba loco, el segundo hijo ya no estaba lisiado, el tercer hijo ya no estaba ciego... La anciana de la Familia Ruo, con las manos en las caderas, se reía a carcajadas hacia el cielo —¿Quién dice que mi Xuanbao es un simpleton? ¡Claramente es un tesoro de bendiciones! (Esta es una novela de agricultura con un toque de encanto de hadas, donde la protagonista femenina en una vida anterior era un lirio del día recién despertado que se ha reencarnado como humana.)
