Swallowed Star

How do you feel about life? Is it the purpose? Is it because everything must have a purpose? Explore the deep character of a creature, in search of the meaning of life. Commander Tatiana and her team explore the deepest parts of the Andromeda Galaxy. "From that moment, my existence became purposeless. I had no reason to exist. I started wandering around, going from one-star system to another without any objective. There were no directives in my command-level database so shutting myself down was impossible. I also could not simply jump into a star which would cause self-destruction because my self-preservation directive was still in place. So, my main objective became to observe the remaining organic species from a distance. Most organic species used to avoid me. I always threw a ping at the passing ships but as Yolin once said, it would be very “Organic” to be “afraid” of a 10km long sentient starship that has weapons which can destroy a planet. I however didn’t know the concept of fear. I had a directive not to harm organics, so I had to follow them. Fear is not in my database." Maybe you can find the deeper meaning of those words. What starts with a simple exploration journey, becomes something more.

In a galaxy governed by the Universal Ranking System, power is quantified, and destiny is dictated by an omnipotent algorithm. Every being, from the lowliest drone to the most elite warrior, is assigned a rank that determines their worth, access, and fate. For centuries, the system has maintained order but now, it’s breaking down. Kael Arvid, a disgraced pilot turned rogue hacker, lives in the shadow of his former rank. Once a rising star in the Interstellar Fleet, Kael was stripped of his status after a catastrophic mission that left him questioning the system’s integrity. When he stumbles upon a hidden code buried deep within the algorithm a code that could dismantle the entire hierarchy—he becomes the most wanted man in the galaxy. Pursued by the ruthless Ascendancy Corps, Kael must forge uneasy alliances with outcasts, rebels, and rogue AIs who have their own reasons for wanting the system destroyed. But as Kael delves deeper into the code, he uncovers a chilling truth: the system isn’t just ranking lives it’s controlling them. And it has a plan for Kael that could either save the galaxy or doom it forever. As the ranking system spirals into chaos, Kael must decide whether to destroy the algorithm, seize control of it, or transcend it entirely. In a universe where every choice is quantified, Kael’s defiance could spark a revolution—or ignite a war that will consume the stars.
