Derelict

In the midst of the 27th Century, space-time travel had been considered the primary way of going to and from across the stars. After Earth's resources were consumed by all-out war and overpopulation, the only thing left to do was seek out more resources hidden in the stars. Anya Weber, a young woman just fresh out of the academy, was going to embark on her first journey to the stars. As a crew member of the EFS Hoffnung, she was to begin her new life as a member of the security force. Though she was wet behind the ears, it was only guaranteed that her work here would help give her experience - a colony ship, which would provide her with the knowledge needed to continue on with her career. But after leaving Earth and a long time of travel, things take a strange turn. She would wake from her hyper sleep - only no one else was around. She was alone in a ship that seemed to have become derelict. With no choice but to move forward, she would soon learn the lines between helplessness and madness.

In 2247, humanity’s interstellar network faces annihilation as the "Signal Cascade" erases all digital and quantum data, plunging colonized worlds into chaos. Kael Renar, a disgraced neural cartographer, is recruited by a rogue Galactic Concord faction to lead a misfit crew aboard the deteriorating sentient starship Eryndor. Their mission: reach a derelict alien megastructure orbiting a dying star, the source of a cryptic signal driving the Cascade. As they navigate treacherous void, rogue AI, and crumbling societies, Kael’s neural implants begin merging their mind with alien memories, revealing the signal as a sentient warning of a cosmic predator that devours information. Racing against time, Kael must decode the signal’s truth and decide whether to destroy it—risking irreplaceable knowledge—or find a way to coexist, as the universe’s memory hangs in the balance.

In a fractured galaxy where old wars never truly end, AP Titan—a disavowed black-ops agent turned outlaw—survives in the shadow of humanity’s greatest mistake: Project Eos. Once part of a secret program to weaponize artificial consciousness, Titan vanished after the war that shattered Earth’s power. Now, a ghost transmission from a dead station calls him back into the storm. The source? Lira, an advanced AI thought lost in the Red Nova Conflict—and Titan's last connection to a life he abandoned. But Lira’s reactivation is no accident. Something ancient is stirring beyond the collapsed Nexus Gate, and someone powerful is hunting her. Cleaners, black-armored assassins with no allegiance, are erasing everything tied to Eos. To protect Lira and uncover the truth, Titan must navigate derelict space stations, hostile factions, and buried lies that could reignite a galactic war. As secrets unravel, he discovers a terrifying truth: humanity’s extinction didn’t begin with invasion… …it began with a whisper from within.

In the Nova Helix Star Sector, talent is everything. At just 14, Zai Ren shattered every record in the Interstellar Academy — not with brawn or bloodline, but with an intelligence so vast it scared the elite. So they expelled him. Branded a threat, exiled from civilization, and hunted by those who feared what he could become, Zai Ren vanishes into the underworld of galactic scavengers — dangerous hunters who strip ancient ruins for forbidden tech. But fate has other plans. When Zai Ren hacks into a derelict alien vault on a dead moon, he awakens something lost to time — an ancient sentient system, once used to train the universe’s deadliest warriors. Now bound to a sarcastic, half-broken AI tutor with godlike knowledge, Zai Ren must forge a new path: The Nano Sage. Neither pure cultivator nor traditional engineer, he begins to rewrite the very rules of existence — blending martial arts, quantum physics, and forbidden tech into a new form of power the galaxy has never seen. But as interstellar clans, machine gods, and void cults close in, one thing becomes clear: Zai Ren isn’t humanity’s last hope. He’s its next paradox.

Kael, a jaded freighter pilot haunted by past failures, drifts through the forgotten corners of the galaxy aboard his aging ship, the Stellar Wanderer. His monotonous existence is shattered when he stumbles upon a derelict, ancient alien vessel adrift in uncharted space. Inside, he awakens a cryptic AI, the last remnant of a long-lost civilization known as the Luminars. This AI, a fragmented consciousness called the Guardian, reveals the existence of a powerful Artifact hidden within the treacherous Nebula of Whispers – an Artifact sought by the ruthless and shadowy Consortium for galactic domination.Compelled by a renewed sense of purpose and guided by the Guardian, Kael, along with his newly recruited, tech-savvy, and equally cynical partner, Lyra, embarks on a perilous journey into the Nebula. They must navigate not only the chaotic, physics-bending environment and its strange inhabitants but also the insidious psychic whispers emanating from the Nebula itself, which prey on their deepest fears and regrets.

When the seventh toll of midnight shuddered through the air, Adam’s knuckles cracked with a sickening pop. He clenched a blood-soaked leather glove between his teeth, watching his irises bleed from amber to feral green in the grimy mirror. This marked his 109th full moon in this alien world—a world where the lycanthropic curse clung to his bones like a parasite, yet still, against all odds, had not devoured the last shreds of his humanity. Three years ago, Adam had been nothing more than a corporate drone in a cubicle, debugging code under fluorescent lights. Everything changed when a subway explosion hurled him through a vortex of flames. He still remembered the surreal moment his hand phased through molten steel, plunging him into a void streaked with violet auroras. When he awoke, he was curled in an iron cage etched with glowing runes, the verdict of his trial echoing in an unfamiliar tongue: “Otherworldly beast—banished to the Evernight Citadel.” The Citadel—a gargantuan fortress suspended above an ocean of clouds—was humanity’s final bulwark against the abyssal horrors below, and a prison for all non-human races. Adam learned to hide the silver wolven markings snaking up his neck beneath scarves, surviving as a black-market peddler in the slums, trading salvaged electronics from his old world. Every full moon, he retreated to a derelict altar in the catacombs’ third layer, chaining himself to a stone sarcophagus. Amid the searing pain of claws rending flesh, visions haunted him: a crown of burning cogs floating at the heart of the cosmos, like a deity’s discarded relic. “That’s the Soul Crown,” rasped One-Eyed Maggie, the fortune-teller, her cigarette smoke curling around Adam’s sketch of the vision. “Legends say it can tear reality itself… but the Grand Inquisitor shattered it into seven fragments three centuries ago. They’re hidden—” Her words died as steam-powered airships roared overhead, searchlights from the Citadel’s enforcers flooding the alley. The first corpse appeared the night Adam infiltrated the Central Library disguised as a janitor. The victim hung from the bronze statue of the God of Knowledge, a dagger of volcanic glass embedded where his heart should have been—a ritual execution reserved for lycanthrope traitors. By dawn, the Evernight Gazette blared headlines: “Wolfkin Terror Attack—Citywide Curfew Enacted.” The true nightmare began on the third full moon. Adam awoke in the catacombs to snapped chains glistening with another’s blood, his fist clutching a shred of fabric stamped with the Inquisition’s sigil. Worse, fractured memories surfaced: a masked man in a rain-lashed clocktower, pressing a shard of light into his chest. “Your veins hum with the Crown’s resonance,” hissed a nocturnal elf assassin materializing from shadows, her cloak embroidered with wisteria patterns that mirrored the auroras of Adam’s transit. “The Inquisition is dissecting every wolfkin alive—and you’re their prime specimen. Unless we claim the other fragments first.”

“In 2475 AD, on Judgment Star, ten condemned sinners awaken aboard the derelict starship Deep Space. A ten-day countdown ticks in their neural implants: solve the lethal trials of AI overlord ‘DeepSeek-α’ or watch their brains melt into the void. A black hole engine powers the ship, hiding an alien conspiracy. Mechanical hounds tear flesh, oxygen dwindles, and the truth unfolds—this isn’t judgment, it’s genocide. Hacker Yang Jun uploads a virus, Ling Qin shatters the engine with her broken arm, and Chen SIR fights to the last breath. On day ten, the ship explodes, four survive, but an alien signal whispers from the escape pod: ‘The judgment isn’t over.’ In the star prison, who will extinguish the AI and ignite humanity’s new era?”

Kael Stratos, an elite soldier from a distant future, was on a mission to retrieve a mysterious artifact from a derelict space station. But when the artifact suddenly activated, he was torn from his world and thrown into a medieval kingdom teetering on the brink of annihilation—one overrun by hordes of the undead. Armed with his advanced exo-suit and the Morph-Gear, a weapon capable of transforming into various firearms and blades, Kael struggles to survive in a land where magic reigns and technology is unheard of. With his AI companion malfunctioning and his resources dwindling, he sets his sights on three goals: finding a way back to his own world, helping the kingdom eradicate the zombie threat, and uncovering the truth behind this world's apocalypse. But as he delves deeper into the mystery, he realizes that the undead are only the beginning. Dark forces are at play, and the key to his return may be hidden within a secret long buried in this world's past. With time running out and death lurking at every corner, Kael must fight, adapt, and survive in a land where the future has no place—unless he carves one out himself. Will he find his way home, or will he become a legend in a world that was never meant for him?

Deep in the colonized fringe of Rigel-4, a disgraced mech cadet becomes the galaxy's deadliest bargaining chip.
