Rays of Us

In the dystopian city of Rylos, where the government dictates love through a behavioral score-based lottery, Nico Knight is a man who’s always gotten what he wants. A nightclub tycoon with a reputation, he’s never had to answer to anyone until the lottery pairs him with Odalis, a quiet librarian with an air of calm that feels almost too controlled. To Nico, Odalis is a puzzle of a woman too ordinary, too unremarkable to pique his interest. But there’s something about her stillness that begins to intrigue him. Beneath the surface, he senses a storm she’s carefully hiding. Nico finds himself questioning whether he really knows what he wants or if his true challenge lies in the mystery of Odalis herself. (Sneak peak scene) Nico slouched on the couch, drunk, eyes fixed on Odalis as she read, the quiet hum of the room wrapping around them like a soft cocoon. Nico: You know, I never imagined a woman like you would be in my life. Quiet, composed... not my taste. Odalis (without looking up): And what did you imagine? Nico: Someone like me. Loud. Reckless. Odalis: Sorry for the disappointment. He blinked, his eyelids heavy, the pull of sleep growing stronger. Nico: “You’re like... an angel, in the wrong place.” His head dropped back, surrendering to sleep. Odalis glanced at him, a faint smile playing at her lips. Odalis (whispering): “You’re wrong, Nico Knight. Maybe the wrong place is exactly where I need to be.” She tucked him in, the soft rustle of fabric the only sound, and returned to her book. The silence between them now felt strangely comfortable.

THE PART OF NO RETURN : FIRST HUMAN EMPIRE

In a world on the brink of annihilation, Aarav Sharma is given a second chance—one month before Earth faces a disaster that will push humanity to its very limits. Reborn into a timeline where the countdown to extinction has already begun, Aarav carries the memories of his first life, where he witnessed the fall of cities, the deaths of countless comrades, and the collapse of everything he fought to protect. But this time, he’s not alone. A mysterious system has embedded itself within his mind, offering him blueprints of advanced technologies—spaceships, battleships, and human machines capable of defending Earth against the horrors that lurk beyond the stars. With these tools, Aarav embarks on a desperate journey to rewrite the fate of humanity. As he races against time, Aarav uncovers secret organizations that have operated in the shadows for centuries—Shadow Guardians, Space Guardians, and the Human Alliance, among others. Each holds a piece of the puzzle, but gathering them together will require more than just intellect; it will demand sacrifices, betrayals, and the courage to face the unknown. Aarav’s quest is fraught with danger as he encounters hostile alien races, political intrigue among Earth’s nations, and the ever-present shadow of his past failures. Alongside a growing band of allies—including a romantic harem of fierce and intelligent women—he must navigate the treacherous path to survival. But every victory comes at a cost, and the weight of his comrades’ deaths bears down on him with every step. With the clock ticking, Aarav must make impossible choices—choices that will either save humanity or doom it forever. For this is the part of no return, and the future of multiple galaxies hangs in the balance. Will Aarav succeed in forging a new destiny for humankind, or will the darkness consume them all? The journey has just begun, and the stakes have never been higher.
