The seasoned player of "Abyss of Stars," the [Starfall Master] Li Zi, brings a system template and travels to the game's world, arriving in the era of the game's beta version. This is the worst of times. The cosmic forces and conglomerates collude, causing the doors to the universe to be closed, the planet's resources to be exhausted, and even sunlight to be monopolized. This is also the best of times. All the extraordinary systems are just beginning. In this era, he is the only [Starfall Master] with the final version patch. While people are enthralled by the smoke of plasma guns and cannons, Li Zi has already torn apart battleships with gravity. While superhumans are smug about their awakened abilities, moonlight has already become Li Zi's servant. While the interstellar fleet crosses the Milky Way, Li Zi has just ignited the forty-second star, illuminating the entire universe. "People have been trapped on the ground for too long; they've forgotten that this starry sky should belong to all of us." —Facing the unspeakable aboriginal evil gods, Li Zi, holding a black hole, gently said.

In the world of Luminora, where magic, blades, and technology intertwine in unseen ways, a boy with black hair moves silently, his stillness hiding more than it shows. Beside him, a girl with yellow hair, shy and caring, carries a secret too heavy to voice, a truth left unspoken, echoing in the silence between them. Her heart rages like an ocean in my head, torn by things left unsaid, tethered to distant memories that never quite fade. She walks just beyond reach, drawn toward a reality she wishes was real, almost tangible in the distance, yet always out of grasp. Their paths cross, tangled in ways neither understands, as the boundaries between light and dark blur, and the world around them shifts with an unspoken purpose. What lies beneath their actions, their pasts, and the world they navigate remains elusive, leaving only whispers of something greater that waits just beyond their reach.

——— Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. My body stiffened as a palace guard called for me from the other side, but I ignored it. Mei, on the other hand, began pushing me away in a panic. "Cheng, let go," she said, struggling in my arms. "Can't you hear him? What if he comes in and sees us like this?" "I don't care," I replied, my lips brushing her ear. "Tell me you forgive me, that's all I need. I won't let go until you do." I knew I was taking a risk, a huge one, if we were seen like this, there would be consequences. But losing Mei would be the bigger risk, the one I couldn't take. I couldn't let her slip away. "I just need to hear you forgive me, mei. That's all I need right now." The guard knocked again, calling my name, and Mei struggled harder. "Cheng, please," she said, her voice cracking under the strain. But I didn't budge. Finally she muttered, "Fine. I forgive you." "I forgive you, you crazy jerk." "You really mean that?" I asked, my voice barely audible. She nodded, exasperated, and only then did I release her. Just as I did, the door swung open, and I barely had time to step back before the palace guard entered, the guard rushed in, his face pale with worry. It was a close call. too close, but I didn't care. Mei flinched at the intrusion, but quickly composed herself, stepping away from me to a more respectable distance. The guard, wide-eyed and clearly flustered, fell to his knees in a bow. "My deepest apologies, Your Highness. I called for you several times but received no reply. I entered out of concern, fearing the worst." I glanced at Mei, but she wouldn't meet my eyes. She simply gave the guard one last look and walked out, leaving the room without a word. I let out a long, exhausted sigh, running a hand through my hair, still reeling from everything that had just happened. Turning back to the guard, I motioned for him to stand. "Get up" "And next time, don't enter my room without permission." ———— Desperate for an heir, the Emperor strikes a dangerous deal with Lokiàn Shén, a 100,000 year old demon.

Hrefna grew up like many who were descended from the settlers of Expeditionary Fleet Gullstjarna; taught how to hunt, to fight, and most importantly... how to survive. Like many of her brothers and sisters, Hrefna eventually left her home world and joined with the Einherjar, the Gullstjarna Fleet's branch of Humanity's vast military; she rose through the ranks to become an accomplished sniper and expert mech pilot. For years she served in the Vel Risi Company of the Einherjar, and now she finds herself on the most recent front against the nearly endless swarms of the Chukanid, a race of ravenous aliens that think of nothing besides feasting upon anything composed of biological components, but it is here that her fate begins to zip around the countless stars of the universe. --- This will be a book with action, romance, character development and an equal amount of goofiness to seriousness. Characters will be as dynamic as I can possibly make them (within reason, obviously) and the interactions will be a primary focus of this book. The other will be the action, from close range gunfights to long ranged shootouts with normal guns, all the way to space battles fought with ships and mechs; aliens of all kind and of all sentient reasoning will fight with or against the protagonist, and I want to explore all sorts of things. This will also be a FUTA FMC, meaning Hrefna... has a penis despite being a woman; if you don't like that, please don't read. This will also have both 'giving' and 'taking' on her part, and there will be smut within the story, ranging from the lewdness of handholding to the wildest things you can imagine in a sci-fi book. The hope is roughly 500 chapters before reaching some kind of conclusion, with each chapter being 1-1.5k words in length; it will eventually go premium because... I need money, but I will leave the first ~50 chapters free to get people hooked and figure out if this is worth fastpasses or money. I hope you all enjoy this, and go check out my other books by viewing my profile; everything I write is FUTA though, just as a heads up, so don't go looking for something else...
