Chapter 65 | Strings and Shadows | End of Book I

Four days.

It had been that long since they left Astralis.

The blood was gone. Washed out of the armor.

Yet Leon sat on the edge of his bed, his helmet still on.

The world outside carried on in dull, lifeless shades.

A silent notification pulsed at the corner of his ...

Chapter 64 | Separation

AUTHOR NOTE: This is the continuation of Chapter 1 flash-forward.


The explosions that had shattered Astralis' colony still echoed faintly in Leon's ears as they moved through the dense forest. The Valkyrie stayed out of sight, forced to take a wide detour around impassable terrain. Ea...

Chapter 63 | Another Day

Leon watched the holographic displays cycle through settings and codes as Tess worked on shutting down the hangar's defense grid.

Outside, the shield bearers held position in the corridor, guarding the narrow control room. The rest of the team waited in silence, watching him, ready for furt...

Chapter 62 | The Standard Protocol

"Mason? Is something wrong?" Leon asked as they finished inspecting the bodies of the fallen enemies.

A few seconds of silence on the other end made his heart pound faster.

Why isn't he answering?

"Mason, come in."

Another pause. Still nothing.

Then finallyâ...

Chapter 61 | Infiltration

THUMP.

Leon felt the sudden kick of acceleration as the pod launched from the turret. A breath later, a sickening weightlessness twisted in his gut, the familiar sensation of slipping into the void.

He drew in mana, cycling it through his body. The nanites su...

Chapter 60 | Thumps

The Inceptor's hangar bay buzzed with motion and noise. Obsidians rushed between crates, checking gear, weapons, and shouting to one another over the chaos. Voras clustered in tight circles, going over last minute plans while techs weaved between them.

Near the lift, ten Breacher Pods were ...

Chapter 59 | Status Quo

"Where did the time go?" Leon muttered as he sat at the edge of his bed, eyes fixed on the black armor mounted on the stand. It caught the soft light and shimmered, casting warped reflections that pulled him deeper into his thoughts.

In the polished surface, his own eyes stared back, faintl...

Chapter 58 | The Genius Idea

"That is the stupidest idea I have heard."

Nyra stood by Leon in front of the shield wall. The pack had been dealt with and they were getting ready to continue forward.

"I have to. I think it'll help me," Leon said.

"What are you two arguing about?" Mason walked up to the two of...

Chapter 57 | Vora One

The Valkerie landed on the ground of Gravemire. Leon stepped out with a cavora of Obsidians behind him.

His boots crunched on loose gravel and dust picked up by the strong winds hit his visor. A vast canyon stretched out before him, twisting and broken like a maze. Jagged cliffs cut deep in...

Chapter 56 | Inceptor

The Aquila entered the Inceptor's bay, slowing down and landing. Leon got up and placed the sword on his hip as the mana engines powered down.

"After you." Jeffrey stepped aside on the aisle.

Leon nodded and walked ahead. He waited by the door as the ramps from the other side finished...

Chapter 55 | Blood Modification

Leon sat up on a medical bed, still affected by the anesthesia. He was a bit lost on where he was. The bright lights reflecting off white walls with no windows blinded him while the familiar smell of antiseptic hit his nose.

He circulated mana in him to speed up the process of getting rid o...

Chapter 54 | Ruinari Program

The Ruinari Program?

Leon blinked. He'd never heard of it before.

"It's classified," the Warcenturion said, catching the confusion on his face. "It falls directly under the command of the Imperial Covenant Imperators. It bypasses the standard Army chain of command entirely. O...

Chapter 53 | Selected

Knock knock.

"Leon, it's me. Can you let me in?" Nyra's voice filtered through the door, soft but edged with concern.

Leon lay curled on his bed in the darkness, knees drawn to his chest, a pillow pressed over his head like a barrier between him and the world...

Chapter 52 | Ghosts

"Let's take a break," Leon said.

He nodded to Mason, who planted his shield into the mud with a heavy thunk and sat down beside it.

Talia, Lena, Nicko, and Varen gathered around, forming a loose circle. One by one, they pulled out their ration packs in silence.

Leon and Mason ha...

Chapter 51 | Heroes Die Young

Leon ran deeper into the woods, panic driving every step. His lungs burned, and his breathing was fast and uneven. The forest was dark, with pale, eerie colors visible through his mana-enhanced vision. Colors that made his fear even worse.

He had lost sight of the others. A quick glance beh...

Chapter 50 | The Beat of Elites

Leon stood among a thousand armored recruits, shoulder to shoulder beneath the pale light of dawn. His weapons gleamed in the rising sun, polished steel catching fire at the edge of the horizon.

"Good morning, recruits," the Warcenturion's voice boomed across the field. "Today marks a day y...

"Move!" The command rang out.

The convoy advanced into the Blackthorn Wilds leaving behind the Hellcrawlers.

The heat faded into a heavy, suffocating damp, where light barely reached through the twisted canopy. Every tree looked wrong, and vines draped low like nooses, unnaturally sti...

At the crack of dawn, one thousand recruits bustled about. Leon's training group checked gears and supplies.

Leon stood in front and watched his vora lay their gears in front of them. His helmet display gave him vital stats and designation marker.

Chapter 47 | So Confused

The dining facility was steeped in silence, broken only by the muted clatter of utensils and the low scrape of trays sliding across metal tables. The usual chatter had faded. Recruits sat hunched over their meals, shoulders sagging, eyes glazed with fatigue.

Steam rose from untouched food, ...

Chapter 46 | Hand Extended

The clamor of steel on steel and the distant cries of battle were muffled. Inside his helmet, all Leon could hear was the rush of his breath and the steady drum of his heartbeat. His left hand pressed against Mason's shoulder as they surged in formation to engage their first enemy.

Chapter 45 | Benchwarmers

Leon’s vora stood beside Nyra’s. Two hundred armored recruits faced off in the open dirt field. No one spoke, the wind was still, and the air thick with tension. Inside his helmet, Leon heard only his own breath and the steady thump of his heartbeat, amplified in the enclosed space.

Chapter 44 | Is This a Joke?

Lights hummed above the field, casting pale circles across the dirt. Most recruits had already turned in for the night, leaving the training grounds nearly deserted. Only a few lingered at the edges—small clusters sparring, talking, or just sitting in their armor, too exhausted to move.

Chapter 41 | Body Saturation, Cores, and MRMs

The following morning made Leon felt singled out in ways he hadn't anticipated. When he first appeared to fall into formation, an assistant instructor immediately pulled him to the side.

"Medic's orders, Ezra. Observation only today," she said, gesturing at the edge of the training area. View Post

Chapter 40 | Consequences

Leon woke with a splitting headache. Light filtered through the window, too bright against the dull throb behind his eyes. He lay on his back, staring up at the white ceiling panels of what was the medical wing. The sharp scent of antiseptic filled his nose, bringing back the uneasy feeling he al...

Don't stop, keep moving.

The next obstacle is a cargo net that demanded not just descent, but a leap to reach it. Twenty feet of empty air between the platform's edge and the swaying mesh. He couldn't afford to lose the momentum he fought so hard to build. He needed it to carry him...
