WHEN THE STARS FALL
WHEN THE STARS FALL
A Sci-Fi Webnovel of Forgotten Skies, Fallen Giants, and a Girl Who Shouldn’t Have Survived
They say don't look at the stars,
they see you.
They say when the stars fall, death follows.
She was never supposed to survive.
She was never supposed to become one of them.
In the broken world of tomorrow, humanity lives split:
Below, the Lower Sovereign States — pristine, fortified, and indifferent.
Above, the United Upper States — scorched, overrun, and forgotten.
Earth’s skies no longer bring hope. They bring Killing Stars — cosmic monsters that descend without warning, obliterating entire cities in thirty minutes before vanishing like ghosts. No one has ever survived a direct encounter… until Gekiko Hershoff, a medic’s foster daughter, caught in the middle of a raid.
She didn’t choose the soul.
She didn’t ask to inherit the Condemner — a sentient killing star’s internal soul, bonded to her in the chaos of a failed military operation.
Now, Gekiko is changing — body, mind, and soul — as an alien presence fuses with her being. Hunted by the Lower States, feared by the surface survivors, and stalked by the very stars that seek to reclaim the soul, Gekiko is caught between worlds.
Armed with only a half-functioning mech, her makeshift team of rebels, and a soul that was never meant for her, she fights not just for survival — but for the truth.
Because the stars aren't falling randomly.
Because someone is calling them.
And because somewhere, hidden behind memory and betrayal, lies the man who started it all — someone from her past.
As the lines blur between monster and girl, machine and soul, and vengeance and hope — Gekiko must decide:
Will she fight for the world that left her behind…
…or burn it all down with the stars?
