To Conquer The Stars

Mark Shepherd, an ordinary man from Earth, thought he had died after a distracted driver ran him over. Instead, he wakes up aboard a derelict starship that's rapidly making its descent to a sandy, desolate planet on the fringes of mapped human space. When he awakes, he's greeted by the Fleet Commander system that, equipped with ships and tactical tools, aims to make him the best of the best. However, his system soon malfunctions and is replaced by an unknown one that may never activate, leaving him badly injured and stranded in a race against time to escape the uninhabitable planet.  When he finally hits rock bottom and his life hangs by a thread, Mark comes across an unlikely friend and mentor whose clock is running out. The being opts to use the remainder of his time in a progressive manner and teaches Mark the ropes of Starship Engineering. Between the confusion of the memories of two lives and equipped with the lessons of Ship Engineering, Mark will come to discover that the only way to achieve true freedom in this corporate-ridden universe is to join the rot, and To Conquer The Stars. *** What to Expect: - 2500-4000+ words Chapters - 1 Chapter Tuesdays and Fridays - Slow Burn - Primary focus in Technology and Exploration, but Action will become more frequent as time passes - A more "grounded" sci-fi experience that will slowly loosen its chains - An MC that doesn't let things slide - Eventual army building (Not as of yet) - Corporations Advanced Chapters on my Patreon https://www.patreon.com/cw/Crimson_Reapr This novel is also available on RoyalRoad, Wattpad, and Scribble Hub (Under the Handle of Ghostly_Immortal)

W W 3

In the year 2073, the world insists it is not at war — even as fighting spreads across continents. Conflicts erupt as proxy battles, where borders burn but responsibility is denied. Soldiers die in trenches that officially do not exist, for causes that are never fully acknowledged. Every front is declared “contained,” even as each one pushes the world closer to collapse. Global power is divided among a handful of dominant blocs. Two align against each other, locked in silent escalation, while a third refuses to choose sides. Diplomacy continues, but it has become performance rather than solution. The institution meant to prevent global conflict is paralyzed by vetoes, legal loopholes, and political theater, unable to act as the world fractures around it. As this system collapses, a new idea emerges. Instead of conquest, it proposes Union. Instead of erasure, reorganization. A new global entity is formed, not by consensus, but by capability. It does not seek to absorb entire nations, understanding the psychological cost of total loss. Instead, it acquires strategic territories, critical islands, corridors, and zones that eliminate future conflicts before they can begin. Some states accept protectorate status, gaining security in exchange for concessions. Others transform into semi-autonomous national entities, preserving culture, identity, and symbolic leadership under a larger constitutional framework. Monarchies and theocracies survive, not as rulers, but as symbols, bound by law. At the core of this new order lies a radical system of governance: a dual executive–legislative structure, designed to prevent concentration of power while maintaining decisive authority. A constitution shaped by civilizational debate, flexible yet guarded by a defined basic structure. On the battlefield, soldiers experience the brutal reality of modern war — where daring actions are not expected, and hesitation is fatal. In command rooms, strategy and legality collide. In diplomatic halls, words fail faster than weapons. As militancy and diplomacy advance side by side, one truth becomes unavoidable: World War III is not announced. It is managed. WW3 is a story of modern conflict where treaties kill as effectively as bullets, where nations are not destroyed but redesigned, and where the future belongs not to those who win the war — but to those who control what comes after.

Naruto: Don't Tell Me "Jiraiya" Is Playing Dirty Again?

Release schedule: At least 2 chapter per day - sometimes more, depending on the power stones received In a world governed by prophecy and tragic destiny, a mysterious purple toad named Gamakon awakens in Mount Myoboku, possessing an "all-knowing" perspective that sees the "finer branches" of a future leading to ruin. Armed with information that shouldn't exist, he forms a secret pact with Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya, setting out to surgically remove the tragedies that define the shinobi world. The mystery begins with a single revelation: the impossible identity of the Masked Man. By exposing the truth before the Nine-Tails’ release, Gamakon ensures the survival of Minato and Kushina, breaking the cycle of hatred before it can consume the Hidden Leaf. However, this is only the first ripple in a massive sea of change. Internal rot like Danzo is purged, and the Uchiha massacre is traded for total village integration, with Itachi and Shisui serving as the Fourth Hokage’s direct disciples. But as history is rewritten, a new, surreal era of scientific industrialization dawns. Traditional kunai are replaced by Chakra Rifles, and Orochimaru is redeemed as a state scientist to construct the "Zero Unit"—a 20-meter Mecha piloted by Jiraiya to defend the planet. As the Otsutsuki Clan descends from the stars to harvest the world's life force, the scale of the conflict shifts from village skirmishes to planetary defense. Wood-be enemies are forced into an unprecedented Shinobi Alliance, even taking the desperate step of resurrecting the Goddess Kaguya to serve as a deterrent against her own family. In this high-stakes game of gods and technology, readers are left to wonder: in a world where the future is no longer set in stone, what is the ultimate price for cheating fate?
