Chapter 1 - CHAPTER 0: prologue

The planet of Xeridia hung like a dying ember in the vast expanse of space. The once-thriving hub of intergalactic commerce and innovation had been ravaged by war and corruption. In the shadows, a secret faction, the Xeridian Empire, manipulated events to suit their own agenda. They craved the ancient power of the Kyrennei, a long-lost technology rumored to grant unimaginable strength to its wielder.

In a hidden chamber deep within the Xeridian Empire's fortress, Zha'thik, a mysterious alien with an ulterior motive, stood before the empire's leader, the ruthless Emperor Xarath. "The time is near, my lord," Zha'thik said, his voice dripping with malice. "The Kyrennei resonance is within our grasp."

Meanwhile, on the planet's surface, Astrid, a determined member of the Xeridian Council, worked tirelessly to uncover the empire's secrets. Alongside her allies, including the wise and aged Councilor Orion and the skilled warrior, Lyra, they hatched a desperate plan to send a chosen few to distant worlds, armed with the knowledge and power of the Kyrennei.

One such world was Earth, where a young Gillian, unaware of his destiny, lived a mundane life. Little did he know, his fate was intertwined with that of Xeridia, and the Kyrennei's power would soon awaken within him.

As the stage was set for a galaxy-spanning adventure, other key players emerged: Arcturus, a rogue smuggler with ties to the council; Kael, a skilled engineer with a hidden past; and Nova, a mysterious being with abilities tied to the Kyrennei.

The journey was about to begin, and the fate of Xeridia, Earth, and the galaxy hung in the balance. The Kyrennei's power would ignite a chain reaction, forever changing the course of history. The battle for control of the Kyrennei had begun, and the outcome was far from certain.
