In a distant future where humanity thrives in the far reaches of space, the Skeld II, a colossal research and exploration vessel, serves as a beacon of hope and progress. Manned by a diverse crew of scientists, engineers, and military personnel, the ship’s mission is to push the boundaries of human knowledge. But beneath its polished exterior lies a creeping darkness—a sinister force that threatens not only the Skeld but the fragile fabric of human civilization. When a series of gruesome murders shatters the ship’s tranquility, rookie crew member Jean finds himself thrust into a nightmare of betrayal and fear. As paranoia spreads, Captain Max must rally his dwindling team against an unseen foe. Meanwhile, Kenneth, a trusted officer, descends into madness, invoking ancient powers and summoning the Dark One, a malevolent entity from a forgotten age. As alliances crumble and the body count rises, the survivors must confront the truth: the parasite that plagues them isn’t just physical—it’s spiritual, tearing apart their minds and sowing distrust. Their mission becomes clear: unite or perish. But in the face of overwhelming darkness, sacrifice becomes inevitable, and each character must wrestle with their own humanity. Hell on Earth is a gripping tale of survival, betrayal, and redemption, blending visceral horror with intense action. In a universe where shadows linger and light feels scarce, the Skeld’s crew must fight not only for their lives but for their souls. For on this ship, even the stars can’t save you from what lurks in the void.

A young man joins a space exploration in 2033 to explore the galaxies beyond the solar system. Unfortunately, all of his crew members as well as the space crew and captain died.

There, he will discover that there are many more planets like Earth out there but with different advancements. Some will look like Medieval times while others may look like steampunk. It was as if... Earths with a different timeline. As he keeps exploring them, he will meet many people, recruit new crewmates, find love, enemies, and many more.

What Tatyana didn't know at that time was that this would change Yasenia in ways she never expected.

The Earth was peaceful until the Other World arrived and supposedly "helped" humanity but all it did was make them rely on it. And after 2.2 million years of the other world being docked on Earth, Gaia emerged from her slumber. The other world left in a hurry to escape from her, but only Nemesis stated behind, he was the Crown Prince of the Travelers, the very same prince who wiped out the Yetis', the Demi-Demon, the Demi-Divines, and the lesser Spirits The other world gave humanity systems, magic, and "Immortality", the systems were there to limit humanities potential to surpass the Travelers, magic to reverse Mana, and "Immortality" to pass their years onto lesser beings. Now let's take it the beginning. The Humans, Elves, Vampires, and Dwarves all discovered Mana collectively, and so the other world took 5 years to get to Earth, to harvest it's Mana, while the other species like the Demons, Yetis, and Werewolves all had the natural ability to controll it, to some extent at least. And so the other world arrived, it offered all species a system, the ability to "controll" Mana, riches, and everything to exert their desires. Humans jumped at the opportunity to have systems magic and to bask in their desires. The Elves shunned the idea as they had the best controll over Mana then all the other species of Earth, the Vampires declined the idea as they could better their controll of Mana by feasting on the blood of those willing, the Dwarves also jumped at the idea to have systems to better their smithing and make new weapons. The other species accepted to better their controll of Mana artificially. But in the end all of the species accepted. The other world met Earth once before, making Gods, Demons, and It.
