Viltrumite Civil War

Reborn as the Iron Queen: Love and Gunpowder in the Civil War

21 century Wall Street financial analyst Victoria Clarke travels to the American South in 1861 in a car accident and becomes the infamous widow Eleanor Van der Lyn-a serpentine woman recorded in history as having been “hanged by the neck on the eve of the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln for treason”. Lincoln on the eve of his inauguration for treason”. She looks in the mirror at her original character's flaming lips and waist, and sneers, “A villain? No, I'll make both the North and South kneel and tremble under my skirt!” Clutching the mysterious diary left behind by the original owner in her left hand (which records the dirty dealings between the Southern aristocrats and the Northern politicians), and carrying the three mysterious “adopted sons” in her right hand (which are actually the artificial war machines in the Southern secret laboratories), Eleanor kicked away Alexander Hawthorne, the plantation owner who tries to control her by marriage, and threw the champagne into her hand, and then kicked her out of the room. Hawthorne, who pours champagne on a slave-state legislator's marriage agreement: “I have only two rules for parenting: teach my children to level slave estates with dynamite, and teach them to turn Northern generals with love letters.” --When the New York Times ridiculed her as a “slut stirring up the war through nepotism,” she took her adopted children to burn cotton fields live and force Lincoln to sign the Early Emancipation Proclamation; when Northern spies kidnapped her children, she backhandedly exposed the gold smuggling chain between General Grant and the Bank of the South, which was featured in the Washington Post. When Northern spies kidnapped her children, she backhandedly exposed the gold smuggling chain between General Grant and the Bank of the South, making headlines in the Washington Post: “Thanks to the arms sent by the enemy, I am now the first female arms dealer and interim Secretary of State of the United States of America.

War Scars

The drums of war beat a relentless rhythm, echoing across the land and shaping the destinies of three individuals bound together by conflict yet driven by vastly different motivations. Their interwoven and complex stories paint a stark portrait of the human cost of war, shifting perspectives to reveal the brutal truths hidden beneath banners and battle cries. First, we meet Lairia Lights, a 20-year-old knight, the shining beacon of her kingdom. Her name, ironically, reflects the deceptive nature of her reality. Lairia is celebrated as a hero, a symbol of unwavering loyalty and strength. But beneath the polished armor and skilled swordsmanship lies a pawn. Her unwavering devotion to the crown makes her easily manipulated, a weapon wielded by those who prioritize power over principle. She believes in the righteousness of her kingdom’s cause, blindly charging into battles fueled by propaganda and a naive belief in honor. Her narrative is a cautionary tale of blind loyalty. Then there is Aaron Rodgers, an 18-year-old warrior consumed by the fires of revenge. Marked by his race and ostracized by prejudice, Aaron has known hardship since birth. The war has taken everything from him, leaving a burning desire to avenge the injustices inflicted upon his people. Unlike Lairia, Aaron sees the cracks in the kingdom’s facade. He understands the war not as a glorious crusade, but as a brutal land grab fueled by greed and power. His motivations are raw and visceral; he fights not for ideals, but for survival and retribution. His story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, even in the face of overwhelming adversity. Finally, we encounter Clayton Danks, a 37-year-old veteran warrior, a ghost haunted by the specters of his past. Clayton has seen too much, done too much. The war has stripped him of his innocence, leaving him burdened by the weight of his past mistakes. More profoundly, the war has cost him his family, the loss of his daughter a constant, agonizing reminder of the price of conflict. He grapples with PTSD, struggling to reconcile the man he once was with the broken individual he has become. Clayton’s story serves as a stark warning about the long-term consequences of war, the invisible wounds that fester long after the battles have ended. He represents the forgotten casualties, the veterans left to silently battle their demons while the world moves on. As the war intensifies, the paths of Lairia, Aaron, and Clayton are destined to intersect. Will Lairia’s blind loyalty finally be shattered, forcing her to confront the true nature of her kingdom? Can Aaron find solace beyond revenge, or will his thirst for retribution consume him? And will Clayton ever find peace, or is he doomed to forever wander the desolate landscape of his past?

GENETIC CIVILIZATION

The Failed Experiment The void stretched endlessly, an abyss of swirling darkness where neither time nor space held meaning. Within this infinite emptiness, a single entity drifted— a formless mass of energy, barely clinging to existence. His name was Orion Graves. Or, at least, that was the name given to him before he was discarded like a failed experiment. The Forbidden Project Deep within the hidden research facilities of Earth's Goddesses, a secret project was underway—one that could shatter the fragile balance of the universe. For centuries, humanity had pushed the limits of genetic evolution, seeking the perfect Evolver—one who could transcend all limitations, wield power beyond comprehension, and tip the scales in their favor. But the Ancient Order, the silent executioners of the universe's balance, had long ensured that no single civilization could dominate. The Goddesses—War, Fate, and AllMother—had defied this law. They sought to create an Evolver that was not bound by the restrictions of standard evolution—a being that could rewrite reality itself. The result? A forbidden physique that even they did not fully understand. But something went wrong. Orion was a failure. Unlike Earth's Top 100 Unique Talents or even other average humans, whose Inner Worlds flourished with mighty Core Civilizations, Orion's Inner World was a barren wasteland—lifeless, devoid of potential. His Core Civilization, the Nameless Abyss, was deemed worthless, a void with no future. The Goddesses had no choice. The project was abandoned, the research base hidden away from prying eyes. But the universe had already taken notice and it will never allow a threat. The Fall of the Research Base The attack came suddenly. A coalition of civilizations, fearing what the Goddesses had attempted, launched an all-out assault on the secret facility. Even the Ancient Order remained silent, allowing the destruction to unfold. The Goddesses, who couldn't protect an ant like existence while fighting made a desperate decision. They activated a space wormhole, sending Orion into the void before the facility was destroyed. It was an act of defiance and hope—a gamble that one day, this failed experiment might become something greater and useful. As he was swallowed by the vortex, Orion caught a final glimpse of the Goddesses' avatars, their cold mechanical gazes watching him disappear. And then, there was only darkness. The Awakening in the Void When Orion awoke, he was alone. His body floated in a shattered realm, remnants of civilizations long lost drifting around him like ghosts. His Inner World remained empty, his Nameless Abyss Core Civilization still a void. He was supposed to be dead. A failure. Forgotten. Yet, as he gazed into the darkness, something stirred within him. The Nameless Abyss… was hungry. A whisper echoed in his mind, ancient and unknown. "Devour… and become." And for the first time, Orion realized: He was not a failure. He was something the universe had never seen before. And soon, the universe would learn to fear him End of Prologue. Next: Chapter 1 - The Nameless Abyss Awakens.
