Summary

Ruins of Eternia
 
In the galaxy's far reaches lies Aestara Prime, a desert world scorched by twin suns and shrouded in legend. Beneath its shifting sands lies the Ruins of Eternia—an ancient alien complex said to house the key to immortality. But every expedition that has dared to uncover its secrets has met with one fate: annihilation.
 
Now, a ragtag team of explorers, each driven by their haunted pasts and desperate hopes, will face the ultimate challenge. Rylan Kael, a battle-scarred leader seeking redemption, must guide his crew through the difficult maze of Eternia’s traps and secrets. Mei Takahashi, a brilliant survivalist with neural implants, is drawn to the ruins by a whispered promise to reclaim the father she lost. Elias Toren, a scholar obsessed with unraveling the mysteries of alien civilizations, may finally find answers about his missing family—or lose himself in the process. Together with the fiercely principled doctor Aria Velan and the resourceful engineer Marcus “Sparks” Reeve, they embark on a journey that could forever alter humanity's course.
 
But they are not alone. Rival treasure hunters led by the ruthless Darek Kael and the fanatical Cult of Eternia will stop at nothing to claim the artifact for themselves. The team uncovers the chilling truth as alliances fracture and enemies close in: Eternia is not just an artifact. It is a conscious entity, offering immortality at the ultimate cost—one’s humanity.
 
With time running out and Eternia awakening, each team member must confront their deepest fears, question their moral boundaries, and decide how far they’re willing to go for survival. Nothing is certain as the ruins collapse and chaos reigns: no one will leave Eternia unchanged.
 
Ruins of Eternia is a high-stakes sci-fi adventure packed with thrilling action, profound moral dilemmas, and unforgettable characters. Dive into this gripping tale of sacrifice, redemption, and the haunting question: what would you give for eternal life?

    Fifty thousand years ago, a meteorite hit the planet Asto, giving its Aghyrian inhabitants mere days of notice. Three ships escaped the Armageddon. Two went to the neighbouring planet. The third, a massive generation ship, refused to take on refugees, and then vanished without a trace. 
It’s coming back. 
Its initial burst of communication caused the outage of the Exchange, the FTL network for transport and communication, but since then the ship has been silent. It jumps about at random, using wormholes it generates with a drive the likes of which no one has seen before. 
Meanwhile at the gamra assembly, people jostle to be in the best positions when it inevitably turns up in inhabited space. What the ship wants or whether there is anyone on board no one knows, but diplomat Cory Wilson knows one thing: when it turns up, he must avoid a conflict at all cost. 
If only gamra presented a united viewpoint. If only Asto’s army wasn’t keen to get involved. If only the Aghyrians at gamra didn’t do what they do best: manipulate and play games with everyone. While the ship approaches, the delegates bicker, and the time for negotiating is fast running out.

    They call me…Hero…Mercenary…Dragon Slayer. 
But that wasn’t always the case. 
There was a time when I thought that dragons were beautiful... 
During my childhood, I believed that I was friends with a dragon, except the dragon never knew of this friendship. 
Days after my thirteenth birthday, my secret was no longer mine to keep. Soldiers arrived to slay the dragon so that a feudal lord could make his name amongst the Nine Kingdoms. It ended in abject failure. They were left to soak in a bloodbath of their own making. 
In a rage, the dragon destroyed the place that I called home, and killed the people that I called family. She also dismantled a thing that I called love. 
Reborn under a mound of ashen corpses, my empty shell vowed vengeance, forging a fiery path of retribution that could not be undone. 
Not by my own design, I inadvertently became a slayer of dragons. Curiously, dragon slaying isn’t my next job... 
A princess is being held for ransom at a goblin fort. Wearing the stolen armour of a goblin knight, I attempt to rescue her to claim my prize. 
When I met her, she was Winter. Now, she is Spring. Maybe I can learn to love again…
