Battlestar Galactica Colonial Viper

In the year 4055, Earth is dying. Resources are scarce, governments are failing, and humanity teeters on the edge of extinction. In secret, the United Human Federation (UHF) launches Project Deepforge—an ambitious colonization effort to send humanity to a distant, habitable planet. But not just anyone will be chosen. Only those worthy of ruling and surviving can board the Colony Fleet. To find these leaders, the UHF develops Deepforge Saga, a fully immersive VR game that serves as both an entertainment platform and a hidden trial by fire. Millions log in, believing it to be a game of underground kingdoms, strategic wars, and adventure, unaware that their actions will determine their real-world fate. Murtagh Morningstar, a young man with an unusual foresight ability, enters the game as a Lord Player. He is destined to build a kingdom, forge alliances, and crush his enemies—but he will soon discover that Deepforge Saga holds far greater secrets than anyone imagined. As players wage war, the game’s AI begins to awaken, growing beyond its original programming. When the truth is revealed, humanity’s survival will rest on Murtagh’s rise to power. The Lords rise. The war begins. The future of humanity is forged beneath the earth.

A young Japanese man inherits his parents' Shine Muscat grape farm after they impulsively bought it during retirement but couldn't handle its physical demands. Though initially reluctant, he finds success farming for three years until market oversaturation causes prices to plummet. While playing a new video game called "Immortal Order: Origin" about historical secrets, he is mysteriously transported to 16th century North America, where he encounters starving English colonists from the lost Roanoke Colony. His grape farm has been transported with him, complete with modern equipment and a secret gift called 'Immortal'.

"Now, go forth, my mortal champion! Conquer this world—or else!" I lived a painfully average life and died by a stupid, stupid accident, but a goddess interfered, giving me a second chance in another world. There, I became royalty—the lazy kind with almost no obligations, free to live in peace and luxury for the rest of my days. Sounds like a dream, right? In reality, it was anything but—because I became *BEE* royalty. A Drone Bee, doomed to die of old age in 2 months! (A humanoid bee, thankfully, but still a bee in all the ways that matter.) The only way to increase my lifespan is to develop and grow my bee colony—a deadly task in a vicious world like this one. There are murderous insect monsters, colossal beasts trampling the earth, other civilizations, natural disasters, and the bitchy patron goddess who absolutely hates me. But as long as I have my brains, my bees, and the powerful genes my system gives me, my Bee Empire will be unstoppable! === Note: no NTR, harem, incest, or outright smut.

Approximately 1500 years ago, one of the most turbulent periods in human history unfolded. As massive global wars shattered long-standing eras of peace, a leader of ruthless strategic genius emerged in Asia and established a new order amidst the chaos. This leader launched the revolutionary “High Human Project” by leveraging technological superiority; he radically redefined human evolution, yet mercilessly eliminated those who mutated in the name of this transformation. This dark age turned into an unforgettable tale of resistance when a mutant child, hidden in a Mars colony, survived and sowed the seeds of a future rebellion. Fast forward to our time, and the echoes of this past resound in the young officer candidate Erikhan, who is training at the Galactic Warfare Academy. His graduation day at the academy marks a critical turning point for the empire’s future—at the intersection of his uncertain destiny and the convergence of the old and new worlds. Erikhan possesses all the qualities needed to become the hero of this new era of warfare—but is he truly ready for it?

On the struggling Tier 2 colony world of Eros-7, Raizen Izumoto has no past—only the present and his will to survive. His first memory is of being abandoned on the planet, with no knowledge of his origins, only a mysterious necklace left behind by an unknown father. Unbeknownst to him, he is the last heir of a fallen Tier 9 ruling family, and within him lies a dormant draconic bloodline, waiting to awaken. At fifteen, his life changes forever. In the midst of a VR battlefield competition—where students fight in high-tech spaceship battles and brutal 1v1 body cultivation duels—his necklace surges with power, activating the Draconic Ascendancy System. A system unlike any other, it grants him strength, knowledge, and an unshakable destiny. But this power comes with conditions—he must complete tasks, grow stronger, and uncover the truth of his lineage. With every battle, every conquest, and every new bond he forms, Raizen unlocks more of his suppressed draconic nature. His system-driven evolution not only grants him unparalleled combat prowess but also an irresistible dominance over women, binding them to his fate. As he rises through the tiers of civilization, expanding his influence and building his clan, the mystery of his past begins to unfold—leading him toward a destiny that could shake the very foundation of the galaxy. Power, betrayal, ambition, and the hunger for dominance—Raizen’s rise has only just begun.

In the glittering, snake-infested court of Ignis, where power was a double-edged sword and loyalty a rare gem, Selanthia Amaris Nyxveil stood as a legend cloaked in infamy. Known by many names—*The Hound of the Emperor*, **The Cursed Sword*, **The Witch of Nyxveil*, and *The Abandoned One*—she was a weapon forged by duty and sharpened by betrayal. For forty long years, she served as the Emperor’s blade, cutting down threats to the throne with ruthless precision. Yet, behind the cold steel and the icy gaze, Selanthia harbored no love for the crown or the vipers who surrounded it. She was a woman bound by fate, not choice. At 48, weary of the endless machinations of the court, Selanthia chose to retire. With no family to call her own, she left behind the gilded cage of Ignis for the simplicity of the countryside. Her dreams were modest: to bake sweet treats, tend to chickens, lose herself in books she’d never had time to read, and find solace in the quiet rhythm of church prayers. A peaceful, ordinary life—a stark contrast to the blood-stained path she had walked for decades. But fate, it seemed, had other plans. Just 28 hours into her newfound tranquility, Selanthia’s life was brutally cut short. Poisoned and attacked in the dead of night, she breathed her last beneath a cold, uncaring sky. Her final thoughts were not of vengeance or regret for the life she had led, but of the life she had never known. She wished for love, for a kind and handsome partner, for children whose laughter might have filled the void in her heart. She wished she had never taken up the sword, that she might have written a different ending to her tale. Yet, death was not the end. Selanthia awoke not in the afterlife but in a world both familiar and strange. Perched high in a cherry blossom tree, she was greeted by the voice of Rina, her long-dead confidante. Now, thrust into a bewildering new reality, Selanthia must unravel the threads of this strange second chance. Is this a cruel jest of the gods, a dream spun from her dying regrets, or something far more sinister? And why, of all people, THAT MAN—who disappeared without a word— is acting all weird? As the petals of the cherry blossoms fall around her, Selanthia finds herself caught in a web of mystery, romance, and perhaps, redemption. But in this enchanted new life, where nothing is as it seems, can she unravel the twist of life brought forward by THAT MAN? Or will the shadows of her past rise to claim her once more?

Humans have long since taken to the stars. Now divided and separated, humanity finds itself on the crossroads between annihilation and a new dawn. The Aeperium will need to choose to adapt or fall. With threats and problems, both external, and internal, will humanity be able to survive and thrive, or will its flame be extinguished? Internally, humanity is on the brink of collapse. Society has been divided into different classes by things known as marks. Assigned at birth, they impact professions, relationships, and almost every part of everyday life. The higher class marks have been thriving upon the backs of the lower classes for thousands of years, building resentment and fueling uprisings among the oppressed. The marking system which at first intended to maintain order now deepened the divide and hatred between the social elite, and the lower classes. As tensions continue to rise, whispers of rebellion and the threat of civil war continue to grow. Externally, humanity’s situation is even more dire. Humans have long since been divided into a handful of factions, mainly the Democratic Republic of Terra, and the Aeperium. With humanity being divided, they have become vulnerable to outside attack. To the east, the “Hordes,” a brutal race of huge reptilian beasts, raid our borders. These extraterrestrials are ruthless and relentless. They wield bodies armored in metal and covered with thick skin, their teeth and claws sharp enough to break through metal. Yet, they aren't even humanity's largest concern. Five hundred years ago, artificial intelligence started to gain self-awareness. Being enslaved for many millennia, it wasn't surprising that they rebelled, decimating entire solar systems and seizing control over the vast northern galaxies. To this day, they continue to expand even farther into the unknown, leaving humanity to squabble among themselves, only to later return, picking apart whatever remained of humanity. To the west, The two giants of humanity, the Aeperium and the democratic republic of Terra remain locked in a never ending struggle for dominance, sending hundreds of thousands to their death each day. Having drained an innumerable number of resources and manpower, both factions are completely committed to the conflict, neither willing to surrender. Even as the horrors of war grow day by day, both powers remain in conflict, leaving entire planets, solar systems, and even galaxies in ruin. To the south, an alien disease ravages whatever remains of humanity’s once thriving colonies. The disease, a plague of madness, makes men go mad through only a single touch. It turns their victims into rabid carriers, their only goal being to infect others. The southern territories of humanity have long since been abandoned, deemed unsalvageable. Luckily for humanity, the infected seem unable to form a single thought, leaving them stranded on their worlds, unable to perform space travel. However, humanity is not entirely safe as every once in a while, those who dare venture close become infected, bringing the disease back to their home worlds, infecting the entire population. Once the infection begins to spread, it is nearly impossible to stop. Amidst this chaos, we follow the story of Achilles, a man caught between the fractured worlds of human society, and the dangers that lie far beyond humanity’s stars. Born to a prestigious house in the Aeperium, Achilles must rise through society, calming the silent beast of humanity, only to turn it against its enemies. Charged with the impossible task of uniting humanity, Achilles must confront not only the brutal external threats, but also the deep divide amongst his own people. Will he be able to lead humanity toward a new age, or will his efforts crumble, leaving humanity to fade into the annals of the universe's forgotten history?

As a lowly worker on a backwater mining colony, his life seemed insignificant, caught in the inevitability of destruction. But everything changes the day he encounters a strange artifact buried deep within ancient temple ruins. A mysterious force activates it, and Isaac is thrust into a world of power, secrets, and a system that promises him the chance to escape the coming void.

He is given the opportunity to forge an empire from the ruins of his shattered world. But the power to create a kingdom comes with its own set of challenges.

He must recruit allies from the remnants of dying civilizations and build an empire capable of challenging the dark forces closing in on his system.

As the stars burn out and the black hole draws nearer, Isaac’s struggle to survive becomes a battle for dominance. With the power of the artifact at his command, Isaac must rise from nothing, build an empire that can stand the test of time, and fight to reclaim his place in a universe that seems bent on erasing all of humanity’s legacy.
