Volume 1: The Crystal Cave TheCrystalCave_v6.lit (click to download)
A lone human in a search of a legendary treasure, surrounded by colorful allies, unseen enemies and wonders beyond belief in a frantic race across the stars.
Sometimes it does not matter if you win or lose. Sometimes, maybe all that truly matters is actually going for it. Reaching for the stars and trying to accomplish something spectacular...
“That is true enough, Captain. But as Commander Vancara said, your fervor in this matter makes it hard to resist following you into it. Plus I as well long for more than my current post will allow. If you are planning on undergoing this endeavor, I will go with you.”
…even against unimaginable anguish…
“No, you do not know how I feel! This is all your fault! All yours! You just had to go on this insane quest of yours and drag us along! Come to terms with it! The crystal flaming cave does not exist! And you are deluding yourself if you think we are going to find anything wherever it is you are taking us to now!”
“Wags, please…”
“No, no! Do not say anything unless it is ‘we are going home’! Come to grips now before we all end up dead!”
…and regardless of the obstacles others set before you.
“They have charged their weapon systems and are about to open fire, Master.”
“Shields up! SAL, load missile tubes and charge all batteries!”
“Are you crazy?! We cannot take them on, Tomalan!”
“Neither are we going to let them take us without a fight, Rahsa! But we’re going to try and outrun them first… Van, we need that jump course!”
What lurks inside the Crystal Cave? ...

Volume 0: Test of Flesh and Soul (In process: Chapters 1-11 available) OutofthisWorldTestofFleshandSoul_v4.lit (click to download)
A dictator toppled and a fierce civil war ignited. Behind it all, an unknown figure controlling everything. And caught in the middle, a human who just appeared out of nowhere.
History will show that legends are made through tests of flesh...
A bright flash appears and when it is gone, a strange looking figure is left in its place…
Huh… What happened! It’s so bright, I can’t see… What’s with all that smoke? Wait, what the… I … I can’t breathe… Oh my God, I can’t breathe!… Oh no, oh no… What’s that? Are those… people? Oh my God, there’s no air! … No, there’s something in the air… My throat, my lungs are burning… Where am I?! … I don’t want to die! … There are a lot of people close. I can see them through the smoke…
“HELP ME!”
...and soul...
It was not supposed to be this way. And if he were still alive, he’d do anything to take it back. But as he lined up to take that fatal shot at Autocrator Danifar, the only thought going through his head was that he was finally going to put an end to his people’s suffering. Cut off the head of the snake and the body. And so the tyrant had to go. But little did he know that this would set off a series of events that would plunge his planet into brutal civil war, dragging neighboring worlds into the chaos. And all along, the people that had given him the opportunity to change the world, to realize his dream, which he thought of as friends and supporters, couldn’t have been more pleased. Not because they too wished to liberate oppressed people, but because they longed for the madness that would ensue. It would be there, in the midst of confusion, that they would reveal themselves. In the power vacuum that would be created, they would sweep in and take control. And their little pawn, in all his righteous glory, would help usher all that in.
Get ready to sacrifice yourself..
