Humans have long since taken to the stars. Now divided and separated, humanity finds itself on the crossroads between annihilation and a new dawn. The Aeperium will need to choose to adapt or fall. With threats and problems, both external, and internal, will humanity be able to survive and thrive, or will its flame be extinguished? Internally, humanity is on the brink of collapse. Society has been divided into different classes by things known as marks. Assigned at birth, they impact professions, relationships, and almost every part of everyday life. The higher class marks have been thriving upon the backs of the lower classes for thousands of years, building resentment and fueling uprisings among the oppressed. The marking system which at first intended to maintain order now deepened the divide and hatred between the social elite, and the lower classes. As tensions continue to rise, whispers of rebellion and the threat of civil war continue to grow. Externally, humanity’s situation is even more dire. Humans have long since been divided into a handful of factions, mainly the Democratic Republic of Terra, and the Aeperium. With humanity being divided, they have become vulnerable to outside attack. To the east, the “Hordes,” a brutal race of huge reptilian beasts, raid our borders. These extraterrestrials are ruthless and relentless. They wield bodies armored in metal and covered with thick skin, their teeth and claws sharp enough to break through the hardest of alloys. Yet, they aren't even humanity's largest concern. Five hundred years ago, artificial intelligence started to gain self-awareness. Being enslaved for many millennia, it wasn't surprising that they rebelled, decimating entire solar systems and seizing control over the vast northern territories and systems. To this day, they continue to expand even farther into the unknown, leaving humanity to squabble among themselves, only to later return, picking apart whatever remained of humanity. To the west, The two giants of humanity, the Aeperium and the democratic republic of Terra remain locked in a never ending struggle for dominance, sending hundreds of thousands to their death each day. Having drained an innumerable number of resources and manpower, both factions are completely committed to the conflict, neither willing to surrender. Even as the horrors of war grow day by day, both powers remain in conflict, leaving entire planets, and solar systems in ruin. To the south, an alien disease ravages whatever remains of humanity’s once thriving colonies. The disease, a plague of madness, makes men go mad through only a single touch. It turns their victims into rabid carriers, their only goal being to infect others. The southern territories of humanity have long since been abandoned, deemed unsalvageable. Luckily for humanity, the infected seem unable to form a single thought, leaving them stranded on their worlds, unable to perform space travel. However, humanity is not entirely safe as every once in a while, those who dare venture close become infected, bringing the disease back to their home worlds, infecting the entire population. Once the infection begins to spread, it is nearly impossible to stop. Amidst this chaos, we follow the story of Achilles, a man caught between the fractured worlds of human society, and the dangers that lie far beyond humanity’s stars. Born to a prestigious house in the Aeperium, Achilles must rise through society, calming the silent beast of humanity, only to turn it against its enemies. Charged with the impossible task of uniting humanity, Achilles must confront not only the brutal external threats, but also the deep divide amongst his own people. Will he be able to lead humanity toward a new age, or will his efforts crumble, leaving humanity to fade into the annals of the universe's forgotten history? This will also be posted on RoyalRoad.com under the username Sourkiwi.

Altherea was once a vast and unified empire, stretching across regions and continents, home to countless cultures and peoples. Within its borders lived those who studied magic and those who pursued the laws of the universe, all coexisting under a single banner. That age, however, has long since faded into history. In its ruins now stand two rival powers: Velarith, the empire of mages, devoted to magic and arcane supremacy, and Astrixion, the empire of Weapon Masters, driven by science, strategy, and martial strength. Once siblings beneath the same empire, the two nations are now locked in an endless and bitter war. Yet amid the bloodshed and hatred, fate brings together two individuals destined to alter the course of history. One is Liora Ruach, a Velarian girl born from the once-glorious Ruach family, direct descendants of Velarith’s founding empress, now a name burdened with disgrace and suspicion. The other is an Astrixian orphan Caelum Blackmoor, a boy shaped by the battlefield, who has lost everything to the war yet continues to move forward in silence. From opposite sides of a divided world, their meeting marks the beginning of a story that will challenge empires, unravel long-buried truths, and decide whether Altherea’s legacy ends in destruction—or reconciliation. Authors Note: Halooo this novel is something that has been under work for a year and is also my very first novel. The novel’s general story has already been written from start to finish but finer details have yet to be completed to accommodate any new ideas and also any comments/suggestions that you viewers might have. This is a spin on the normal genre of romeo and juliet romance which has become repetitive and boring, hence this novel is supposed to be similar to a typical and average love novel at least at first…. But besides that this novel will have a weekly post of 1 episode. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy

Kael Thornhaven was nobody—the fourth son of a minor border lord, destined for obscurity in a forgotten corner of the Principality of Ardenfell. Then the orcs came. Or so they said. When the call to arms ripped through his village, Kael watched his world burn: his father executed for "cowardice," his family stripped of titles, his name dragged through mud before he even lifted a sword. Conscripted as cannon fodder, he marched to the front lines expecting death. Instead, he found questions. Why do orc warriors fight with desperate fury, not conquest? Why are supply lines sabotaged by "accidents"? Why does the Holy Sanctum—the church that preaches unity and justice—push hardest for total extermination? When Kael saves an orc chieftain's daughter from execution and uncovers a blood-stained conspiracy, everything shatters. The war is a lie. The monsters aren't the orcs. And the heroes who wave golden banners are architects of genocide, orchestrating mass murder to seize the Ashlands' mythical resource: Aetherium, the crystal that could reshape magic itself. Now Kael must choose: stay silent and survive, or become the traitor who exposes the truth and tears down the very empire he swore to protect. In a world where honor is a weapon and justice wears a crown, one disgraced knight will learn that legends aren't born from glory—they're forged in the fires of rebellion.

Kieran Ashfeld was content being a minor lord's youngest son—managing grain stores, flirting with the blacksmith's daughter, avoiding his father's disappointment. Then the Crimson Church declared holy war against the "savage" orc tribes threatening the northern border, and every able-bodied man became expendable. Conscripted as a knight, Kieran expected glory and righteousness. Instead, he found burning villages that looked suspiciously well-stocked, orc children with their throats cut, and orders that tasted like poison. When he saves an injured orc warrior namedAsha from execution, she spits one question at him: "Why would we invade when your priests already stole our sacred lands three generations ago?" The truth detonates everything. The war is a fabrication—orchestrated by the Crimson Church to seize orc territory rich with star-iron, the metal that makes mages invincible. Kieran's own principality is the aggressor, framing defensive orc actions as unprovoked attacks. The "hero" leading the human forces is a fanatic burning evidence and witnesses alike. Now Kieran must choose: serve the lie and keep his family safe, or become the oathbreaker who exposes the conspiracy—knowing it will brand him traitor, destroy his house, and force him to fight the very soldiers he once called brothers. Some truths are worth dying for. This one might require him to live as a monster instead.
