Vortex of Dominion: Humanity's Last Stand
The year is 3163, deep into the Interstellar Era, and humanity is faced with existential threat by unnatural forces.
Once rulers of countless worlds, the human dominion has fallen apart, leaving only a single outpost called The New Facility, the last echo of a broken empire.
Beyond its borders, space itself has gone wild.
Temporal storms split stars apart, reality folds like torn paper, temporal rains fall from another timeline, and in the rifts, something ancient watches... and waits.

Bale is nothing special.
No noble blood, no family name. Just a mouth that runs faster than his brain and a habit of surviving disasters, especially the edible kind.
His biggest dream is to live quietly, in a post where no one remembers his name.
But fate, and a bowl of soup, have other plans.

One mistake during a routine drill throws him into the Vortex, a tear in time that swallows ships, memories, and minds.
Now Bale drifts across broken timelines, hunted by things that should not exist, and haunted by visions no human should ever see.
His body begins to change.
His thoughts are no longer his own.
Each answer he finds brings him closer to the truth that doomed humanity:
the secret behind Eve Faction, the birth of the Riftborn, and the silent will of Aorx, an entity that moves time as if it were a board game.
Some call him chosen.
Others call him mad.
Bale calls it just another terrible day.
