The lonely small-town girl Kiri accidentally enters a portal in the middle of the grassy plains because of a college party dare and a desire to escape it all. She lands in Sooted Star, a realm where two great nations are on the brink of another war spanning worlds. However, there is more to this conflict than just the two sides. She and her newfound family must find a way to survive or rise against the powers beyond their control, or else lose their identities and become weapons for a hopeless cause. Meanwhile, Kiri must protect her home world at all costs. Kiri arrives in the realm of Sooted Star, scared and desperately wanting to go home. However, there’s far more behind the reason she ended up here in the first place than she could’ve ever imagined. A wealthy, influential genius named Eberkerson, whose history binds him, may find the trail he needs to lead him to the true reason behind his high school lover’s death. That trail starts with Kiri. However, his genius comes with a burden—one that has political representatives from known and unknown factions striving for his invention that should’ve never come into being. Eberkerson’s closest friends soon become Kiri’s emergency family as they help her out until she can get home. However, Rokon’s impending military draft threatens their everyday stability. What will they choose, and who will they become once inevitable forces drive them into a changing world? Disclaimers: - This work uses a new English pronoun system. - Currently a work in progress.
