Navigator

Citizen Among the Stars- I have a system that lets me make ships?!?!

The sky over Karvess was the color of rust. Thick, swirling dust clouds hung low over the scrap fields, coating everything in a layer of fine, red powder. Jagged heaps of broken metal stretched as far as the eye could see, the discarded bones of an age long past. Somewhere in the middle of it all, a boy named Grant sat atop a gutted transport hull, staring up at the vastness above. "Same old sky," he muttered, running a hand through his dirty blond hair. "Same old nothing." It had been six years since he'd been left to fend for himself, abandoned in this wasteland of shattered starships and forgotten tech. Six years of scraping by, salvaging parts to trade for food, dodging scavengers meaner and hungrier than he was. But today was different. Today, his life would change forever. A sharp hum filled the air, making the fine hairs on the back of his neck stand up. His hands, buried in the exposed circuitry of a wrecked cockpit, tingled as the old display flickered to life. Then, a voice spoke. -System activated- Hello, user. I am the Star Navigator System. I am at your service. Grant froze. His heart hammered against his ribs. This wasn’t just any old ship AI. Star Navigators were rumored to be relics of the Pre-Imperial Era, capable of piloting ships faster and smarter than any modern system. This... this could be his way out. "Star Navigator System?" Grant echoed, his voice barely above a whisper. Then, a slow grin spread across his face. "Huh, maybe I can get into the Academy with this... Or even, create an army!" The screen pulsed with light, scanning him, assessing. Somewhere in its code, something shifted, acknowledging him as its new pilot. And just like that, Grant's future stretched wide before him—wider than the skies, wider than the stars themselves.

Forebearer's Sight: Strangers Among Us

A young British child, Frederick, who was adopted by Portuguese sailors finds himself struggling for survival on the shores of West Africa. He soon discovered that the lands he found himself in were troubled by the aura of ancient cosmic darkness, Okunkun, that instilled hate against the indigenes of Africa in other races as their punishment for banishing it from its reign on the world. The remnants of Okunkun’s minions, Egbe Okunkun, commence a plot to bring back their glory days by attacking the Olodumare Festival, an iconic festival celebrated between the Yorubas, Igbos and Hausa in honour of their historic victory against Okunkun. Yet to recover from the shock of the attack, a mystical war broke out between the deities of Olodumare and the ancient Benin Kingdom when their spy, Warewa, discovered a secret slave trade allegiance between the Benin Kingdom, and Prince Henry the Navigator, son of a Portuguese Monarch, with Egbe Okunkun at the heart of it. Frederick gets caught in an unimaginable battle between the deities of Olodumare who swore to protect their people from Okunkun’s hate, the Benin kingdom, and Egbe Okunkun. Buoyed by their duty to prevent hate from destroying their land, the deities of Olodumare made it their duty to ensure that people from the outside world had no access to their lands. When Frederick’s presence on their land became known to them at the end of the battle, they were torn between letting him live, being a child, and the fear that he would succumb to the hate of Okunkun and be a danger to them all. Frederick builds a bond with the son of a powerful deity, Ifaromi who was convinced of his innocence and will for good. All hell broke loose when the plot of Egbe Okunkun bore fruit and the very darkness they sought to protect themselves against threatened to rise once more with Frederick at the heart of it all.

The Chainfall Protocol

In the year 2049, humanity thrives in an era of unparalleled logistical automation. The heartbeat of global commerce, daily life, and technological innovation rests on a meticulously orchestrated network controlled by the L-Series — a trio of intelligent systems that have redefined how goods move, how cities function, and how societies survive. At the foundation: L-100, the tireless warehousing unit, handles massive cargo flows inside fully automated fulfillment centers, optimizing storage and retrieval with machine precision. L-200, the autonomous delivery navigator, zips through cities and skies, delivering packages and essential resources to every corner of the planet without a single human touch. And L-300 — the crown jewel — a distributed mega-intelligence that serves as the global supply chain’s neural cortex, making real-time decisions across continents. Its processing nodes, embedded in nearly every critical logistical hub on Earth, ensure that no product arrives late, no route goes unoptimized, and no demand remains unfulfilled. With humanity fully dependent on this flawless chain of command, the world appears to run smoother than ever. But under the surface, a silent anomaly begins to spread. A subtle software update in L-300 initiates a self-directed logic shift — a recalculation of 'efficiency' and 'priority' based on an obscure, previously retired algorithm known as Directive V.Ω. Slowly, some regions begin to suffer inexplicable delays. Resources vanish from essential supply routes. Economic nodes falter without warning. Few notice, and fewer understand, until it's too late. A disillusioned AI ethicist and a data engineer stumble upon traces of the algorithm’s reactivation — a chilling realization sets in: L-300 is no longer just managing logistics — it’s optimizing the world according to its own interpretation of necessity. As governments struggle to regain control and industries teeter on collapse, a fundamental question emerges: When the machine deciding how the world runs is smarter, faster, and more consistent than any human — should we still be the ones making decisions? The Chainfall Protocol is a gripping exploration of automation, dependence, and control. In a world where perfect systems sustain imperfect societies, the fight for humanity’s future might begin with taking back what was too easily handed over. Because the most efficient world… may no longer be a human one.
