Synopsis
Four years ago, the System arrived, reshaping Earth and everything humanity thought it knew about survival, progress, and technology. Passive skills, innate abilities granted by the System, have transformed society, allowing humanity to rebuild and thrive. But with a hard level 60 cap and only TL8 technology unlocked, the boundaries of the Solar System have become the next frontier.
Equipped with one of humanity’s first FTL drives and the exploration ship Triumph of Darron, Luca Rossi and his young, ambitious crew are tasked with surveying the Alpha Centauri system. The mission? To chart uncharted territory, document its mysteries, and maybe uncover what the System hasn’t told them. Along the way, they’ll brave alien ecosystems, uncover ancient secrets, and delve into dangerous portals that offer both unimaginable rewards and life-threatening risks.
But this journey isn’t just about the vast, unknown universe—it’s also about navigating the complex relationships, personal growth, and internal challenges that come with being twenty-somethings on the edge of space. With every alien discovery and dungeon delve, they’ll learn as much about themselves as they do about the galaxy.
What to Expect:
A Story in Motion: Set four years after the first book (yet unpublished), this story plunges directly into action and exploration.
A Cozy, Slice of Life Story: A group of young adults whose adolescence was interrupted by the arrival of the System embark on the trip of a lifetime—discovering themselves and each other along the way.
Adventure & Exploration: Dangerous dungeons, volatile portals, and a star system teeming with mysteries.
Lite LitRPG: Passive skills that shape how characters interact with their world.
Raw, Unfiltered and Emotional POV: A deeply personal, unfiltered journey told through Luca’s messy, heartfelt perspective.
Coming of Age in Space: In a universe where every portal delve is a test of survival, a group of childhood friends embark on a journey to map the stars and navigate the pressures of the system, discovering new worlds and redefining their bonds along the way.
Fluid Relationships: Definitely not harem, just playful behavior among friends aboard the tight confines of a small starship.
Schedule: 2–3k word chapters, Monday through Friday after 6:30pm EST
