Mystery

In 2148, the interstellar ark Aether launches on humanity’s first crewed mission to Epsilon Eridani, 10.5 light-years away. The official goal is to survey the habitable-zone planet Epsilon b and prepare a foothold colony.

What the crew doesn’t know is that a faint, repeating signal detected years earlier has been deliberately under-reported by mission sponsors. During the long voyage the signal grows stronger, pulling the ship off-course toward an ancient derelict vessel drifting in the system’s outer cloud. What they find inside is not just alien technology—it is technology that seems to know the crew’s deepest fears, secrets, and even future choices.

As the mystery unravels, the story explores isolation, trust, corporate conspiracy, the nature of consciousness, and whether humanity was ever truly alone. The tone starts optimistic and procedural, slowly tightens into paranoia, then explodes into high-stakes cosmic horror before resolving with hard-won hope and lingering questions.

Synopsis:

Keith, a vieux riche, spoiled and cherished, heir to the Demiliore Consortium, lives his life at large. Power, Wealth, Fame; He has it all.

But is it all just a dream?

With a set of memories, the knowledge of the future, in a play orchestrated by Destiny, knowing well that he is born to be a Villain, will he prevail? Or is he going to fall at the hands of the Child of Destiny just like he did in the nightmare that haunts him?

Author’s Note:

Yes, the story is heavily influenced by Urban-Fantasy Chinese Novels. Don’t read if you have a problem with those types of plots. ‘Cliche’ plot elements are bound to appear, so if you easily get triggered by such things, keep away. And I would advise you to not even start the story if you are an ardent believer of ‘Good shall prevail over the Evil’. Keep away! MC here is a Villain! But yes, he is not someone deprived of emotions, even though he is a Scum. So, do not expect an outright Evil MC either.

I don’t write Netorare. Don’t worry about it!
