Chapter 1: The Last Stand
“Pull up, Ethan! Pull up!”I yanked the controls, but the sky was already on fire and the radar was lying to me.Because something big was climbing out of the ocean, and every instinct I had screamed run and save those humans.Too bad because there was nowhere left to run, and even though I wanted to save anybody. I don't have any save place to take them to.Well, before I bore you with my troubles without saying the roots and what's going on… lemme just leave you to read it your self instead, I think that's the best idea.You can begin from the day all humans died excluding me.*******The sky over New Angeles burned with colors that didn't belong to any earthly sunset. Ethan Reid pulled his fighter jet into a sharp barrel roll as another Voidborne creature materialized directly in his path, its form shifting between solid matter and something that made his eyes water to look at."Echo-Seven, you've got three on your six!" Commander Hayes's voice came through the comm, distorted by
Chapter 2: Awakening Among Stars
A deep ache that seemed to radiate from the bones greeted Ethan before consciousness fully returned, as if his body was remembering how to exist after being scattered across space.His eyes opened to a ceiling that's like a soft bioluminescent light, the patterns were shifting... Nothing seemed human or earthly at all."You're awake." The voice came from his left, melodic but carrying undertones that human vocal cords could never produce. "Please don't move suddenly. Your cellular structure is still stabilizing from the extraction."Ethan turned his head slowly, and for few seconds he forgot how to breath.The woman standing beside his medical pod was humanoid in the way that a statue is humanoid—recognizably bipedal, proportioned similarly, but fundamentally other. Her skin held an iridescent quality, shifting between pale blue and silver depending on the angle of light. Delicate scales traced patterns along her cheekbones and down her neck, disappearing beneath the collar of her p
Chapter 3: Prize and Prisoner
So yeah, actually Zira and her crew dropped us in the refugee station. After helping Dr Senna and I escape those multitude. But I was sure she will come back for a price or let me said reward.But for now, it's just me and Dr Senna, well that was before we walked into the whole new world again.But before that let's explain a little bit how the experience was.******The refugee station Sanctuary Prime was supposed to be neutral ground. Ethan learned this fact approximately thirty seconds before watching that neutrality dissolve into chaos.After a harrowing emergency jump that left his stomach somewhere between dimensions, the Stellar Mercy had docked at the massive orbital platform. Dr. Senna had insisted on a medical escort through the station, but the moment they'd entered the main concourse, all pretense of normalcy evaporated.Ethan had never felt so exposed in his life.The concourse was a circular chamber easily the size of a football stadium, with multiple levels connected b
Chapter 4: System Awakened
The countdown in Ethan's mind had nothing to do with Empress Kara's ultimatum. While the station descended into barely controlled panic around him, another timer materialized in his vision—translucent text that overlaid reality itself.**[FIRST QUEST ACTIVATED]****[SURVIVE 24 HOURS WITHOUT BEING CLAIMED]****[REWARD: FOUNDATION ESTABLISHMENT TECHNIQUE]****[FAILURE: UNKNOWN]****[TIME REMAINING: 23:59:47]**Ethan's brain kept thinking zig zag, because this wasn't his imagination. The text was real, or at least as real as anything could be in his current situation. He focused on the words, and more information bloomed across his vision like a HUD powering up.**[IMMORTAL PATH SYSTEM - INITIALIZED]****[HOST: ETHAN REID]****[SPECIES: HUMAN (ENDANGERED - LAST MALE SPECIMEN)]****[CULTIVATION REALM: MORTAL]****[BLOODLINE COMPATIBILITY: UNIVERSAL]****[SPECIAL TRAIT: GENETIC CATALYST]**Seris's voice ruined his concentration. "The human is experiencing something. Look at his eyes."Eth
Chapter 5: Blood and Honor
Ethan held his breath as Dr. Senna moved past his hiding spot, her head tilted as she analyzed something on a handheld scanner. The device pulsed with soft blue light, and with each pulse, Senna's expression grew more determined. She was definitely tracking him."I know you're here, Ethan." Her voice was softer than before, lacking the clinical detachment she'd maintained in the medical bay. "Your biosignature is unique. There's nowhere on this station you can hide from my equipment." So much for hoping she was on his side.Ethan's system immediately offered tactical options, highlighting three potential escape routes from his alcove. But something made him hesitate. Senna had protected him from Zira and the others. She'd argued for saving Earth. Maybe…"I'm not trying to capture you," Senna continued, stopping directly in front of his hiding spot without turning around. "I'm trying to keep you alive. There's a difference."Ethan stepped out of the shadows. "Hard to tell the differe
Chapter 6: Cosmic Predator
The scream wasn't sound in any traditional sense. It bypassed ears entirely, drilling directly into Ethan's mind with the force of an ice pick through his skull. Around him, even the battle-hardened warriors staggered, their weapons dropping as their hands moved to their heads.The emergency light came back on. Through the haze of pain, Ethan's system flashed urgent warnings.**[ALERT: VOIDBORNE SIGNATURE DETECTED]****[THREAT LEVEL: CRITICAL]****[RECOMMENDATION: IMMEDIATE EVACUATION]**No. Not here. Not after everything."Voidborne," Ethan gasped, and the single word echoed through the disorientation. Every alien in the corridor went rigid with primal fear.Commander Seris recovered first, her silver eyes widening. "Impossible. Sanctuary Prime has quantum shielding. Nothing from the void should be able to…"The wall exploded inward, cutting her off. What came through defied easy description. It had mass and form, but both shifted moment to moment like oil on water. Tentacles, claws
Chapter 7: Fractured Alliances
The escape pod was designed for four passengers. Seven beings were currently crammed inside, and the life support system was complaining loudly about it."This is a terrible plan," Dr. Senna muttered, pressing uncomfortably against a bulkhead as the pod rocketed away from Sanctuary Prime. Through the viewport, the station was barely visible through the crossfire of a dozen competing fleets."You have a better one?" Princess Lyra occupied most of the pilot seat, her bulk making maneuvering a challenge. "We're in a glorified tin can trying to avoid detection by half the military powers in this sector. Forgive me if my piloting isn't up to standard."Commander Seris maintained her dignified composure despite being wedged between two of Lyra's warriors. "The Crystal Dominion maintains a safe house on Station Meridian. If we can reach it before…"The pod's proximity alarms shrieked. Something massive had just locked onto them.**[ALERT: TARGETING SYSTEMS DETECTED]****[SOURCE: SOLAR EMPRES
Chapter 8: The Auction Thought
The raider ship was a significant upgrade from the escape pod, though calling it luxurious would have been generous. Ethan sat in what passed for the captain's quarters, it was a room that barely larger than a closet with a bunk welded to the wall and a viewport showing the swirling chaos of the asteroid field they were hiding in.The fight had lasted exactly four minutes. Ethan hadn't even needed to leave the pod.Through the thin walls, he could hear the three women arguing about their next move. Princess Lyra wanted to push deeper into the Frontier Zones. Commander Seris advocated for reaching one of her safe houses. Dr. Senna kept pointing out the medical risks of Ethan attempting rapid cultivation advancement.None of them were asking him. So Ethan pulled up his system interface, studying the information it provided about Core Formation. The process looked insanely complex—compressing energy into specific patterns, awakening spiritual awareness, even forming a stable core that c
Chapter 9 The Auction
The communication board exploded with incoming transmissions. Ethan counted at least fifteen different sources, all demanding clarification, offering terms, or threatening violence if he didn't deal with them specifically."This is Commander Seris Tal of the Crystal Dominion," Seris transmitted on an official channel. "As the highest-ranking Coalition officer present, I will serve as neutral arbiter for these proceedings. All offers must be submitted formally within the next six hours. Violence during negotiations will result in immediate disqualification.""You think they'll actually follow rules?" one of Lyra's warriors asked skeptically."Some will. Others won't." Seris's expression was calculating. "But even the threat of disqualification will make them hesitate. No one wants to be the faction that lost the human because they violated protocol."Empress Kara's face appeared on the main viewscreen, her burning eyes radiating barely contained fury. "You dare turn this into a mark
Chapter 10: Shadow's Offer
The silence following Nyx's transmission was very troubling. Even Empress Kara had gone quiet."Shadow Moon Clan," Commander Seris said carefully. "They're assassins and hermits who haven't left their cultivation planet in centuries."On screen, Nyx smiled. "We know things. We've watched the Immortal Path system sleep for ten thousand years, waiting for the right host. We know why it awakened now, and what it's preparing him for.""Then share that information," Seris demanded."Information has value. I won't give it to empire builders." Nyx's galaxy-filled eyes fixed on Ethan. "But I'll share it with him. Privately. If he has the courage to meet me."**[SYSTEM ALERT: UNUSUAL ENTITY DETECTED]****[NYX - POWER LEVEL: UNKNOWN]****[RECOMMENDATION: GATHER MORE DATA]**"Obviously a trap," Dr. Senna protested."Of course it's a trap," Nyx agreed. "Everything is when you're the most valuable commodity in existence. But my trap comes with answers." She transmitted coordinates. "Derelict stati
