At the dawn of the New Era Calendar, humanity broke free from the confines of Earth and established a new order beyond the Milky Way. In this vast expanse of the stars, filled with both the unknown and hope, humanity witnessed rapid technological advancements and unprecedented expansion of its civilization. The annihilation of the insectoid race was celebrated as a historic victory, with the Earth Celestial Force securing its dominance. Meanwhile, corporate giants seized the opportunity to stretch their influence to far-off galaxies, exploiting resources and colonizing new worlds, propelling humanity into an era of unparalleled interstellar prosperity. Yet, beneath the veneer of progress lay hidden perils. Driven by greed and ambition, humanity neglected to respect the unknown. An exploratory fleet, jointly deployed by the Earth Celestial Force and corporate alliances, inadvertently ventured into a mysterious, energy-laden star system. There, they uncovered an ancient ruin, seemingly belonging to a species far older and more powerful than the insectoid race. However, the activation of this relic awakened a dormant threat buried deep in the cosmic void. The remnants of the insectoid race began to resurface, having evolved far beyond any prior records. Worse still, a new horror emerged—massive creatures known as Star Beasts. Star Beasts, colossal entities comparable in size to small planets, possess the power to obliterate fleets and consume worlds. Their behavior defies all known patterns, yet it seems to be driven by a purpose that transcends biological instinct. Their arrival disrupted the fragile balance of the universe and fractured the tenuous alliances within human civilization. Under the pressure of dwindling resources and escalating conflict, corporate factions began pursuing their own interests, while the Earth Celestial Force struggled to rally the scattered powers of humanity to resist the twin threats of the insectoids and the Star Beasts. As the war escalated, more secrets about the Star Beasts came to light. These creatures were likely not products of natural evolution but creations of an intelligence beyond human comprehension. Additionally, the resurgence of the insectoids revealed a shocking truth: they were never humanity’s ultimate enemy but merely pawns in a far greater cosmic game. Faced with the dual crises of internal division and external invasion, humanity must find a way to strike a balance. Will they persist in their path of expansion and conquest, or will they choose to coexist with the unknown? The answer lies in a final, decisive battle that will determine the survival of their civilization.

For as long as the world can remember, nature was breathtakingly beautiful. ____ In the interstellar era, their long voyage led them to the pinnacle of evolution. Even in the vast sea of the stars, they remained at the top of the food chain. However, this also led to them losing their only home. Their beautiful blue planet, the birthplace of life, has long been destroyed. On the remaining habitable planets, spiritual plants have become scarce, and all animals have died, leaving them with nothing but mutant aliens. Even the soil, the water, and the air were polluted. The green scenery and the clear sky are like mirages, living only in their dreams. But what if nature rebelled? In the long passage of longing, they had forgotten that nature itself was, in fact, more cruel than any of them.    —   General Liele, the current strongest combatant of the empire, was severely injured after the last coalition war. As a result, he degenerated back into his mimetic juvenile form, unable to turn back. If his situation persists, he’ll be locked in a sanatorium and live like a mad prisoner for most of his life.  But such is the fate of all of his predecessors.  Before descending into utter madness, he instinctively followed a young girl who had the fragrance of flowers. The girl was tiny and soft. She especially looks fragile.  However, she goes in and out of the black market and all known illegal planets. Owning an unauthorized robot and driving an unlicensed Mech, not abiding by the laws, how rebellious are you?! Kidnapping juvenile mimetic forms, keeping black households, hiding illegal immigrants, and hijacking the army network! Be honest, are you a space pirate?!

Excerpt from RYWAW "Going somewhere?" His voice drops, teasing, but there's a dangerous edge beneath the surface that makes my pulse quicken. The playfulness in his eyes has faded, replaced by something more primal, more intense. I flash him a sly smile, forcing myself to remain calm. "No," I murmur, leaning back into him, though my heart pounds against my ribs. "Just getting comfortable on my lover." He raises an eyebrow, his gaze narrowing slightly. The smirk returns, slow and deliberate, but there's a hint of something else-something darker, lurking beneath his usual charm. "Is that what we're calling it now?" Before I can respond, Wilde moves with swift precision, his hand sliding up to cup the back of my neck. The air between us grows heavy, charged, and then his lips crash against mine. It's not soft or slow-it's raw, demanding, and ignites a fire deep in my chest. I gasp, my hands instinctively gripping his jacket as his other arm pulls me flush against him, the heat of his body searing through the thin barrier of clothing. My mind spins, thoughts scattering like leaves in a storm as I lose myself in the kiss. The driver, without a word, flicks on the partition, a subtle acknowledgment of the moment as the car continues to glide down the road, but it's as if the world outside no longer exists.

Todo humano tiene ambición y codicia hacia lo que no posee. La inmortalidad el deseo pleno de vivir para siempre, de no envejecer, de ser joven, y de no perderse en el olvido se ha convertido en un tema histórico como el viaje de Ponce de León, un español que se embarco en busca de la fuente de la juventud, o Alejandro Magno encontrando un "río del paraíso" y muchas otras leyendas en las islas Canarias, Japón, Polinesia e Inglaterra. Esas son sólo leyendas. En esta historia los científicos toman un papel importante con esa "sed" de conocimiento y el descubrimiento, los lleva a saber de una existencia similar a la suya, pero, con cualidades diferentes, el querer más los lleva a desafiar lo natural, lo que no debe unirse, pero sin embargo, está destinado a ser desafiado.
