Chronicles of the Astral Express

Jwhiteknight
IIn a multiverse fractured by forgotten wars and celestial collapse, one train crosses the stars in search of salvation—and meaning. Noah Alden was once just a boy from a quiet world, untouched by the vast cosmic web beyond his sky. But everything changed the night a Stellaron broke loose in his town, tearing open a wound between realities. Saved by a wandering Jedi Master, Noah was taken in and trained in secret, learning not only to wield a lightsaber but to understand the force that guides all paths. When his master vanished with only a cryptic message and a hidden ship, Noah returned to an ordinary life—until the Void Archives fell from the stars. That was the beginning. Now a Jedi in his own right and the bearer of a Divine Key, Noah commands the Astral Express—a sentient cosmic vessel born of the Aeon of Trailblaze. With his trusted crew, he travels from world to world, forging bonds and confronting the remnants of ancient powers that threaten reality itself. Each stop is more than a destination—it is a test. From corrupted dragons in frozen lands to divine conspiracies beneath sacred shrines, the crew must face not only external threats but the growing shadows within themselves. But with every step forward, deeper questions awaken: Who forged the paths they walk? What unseen forces stir beyond the end of the rails? And how far must they go to protect the light they still believe in? "Chronicles of the Astral Express" is a saga of legacy, identity, and the fire that binds chosen family across countless worlds. In a universe on the brink, even the smallest flame can become a beacon. *Updated the Synopsis in response to a comment. hopefully this change will help* ---------------------- Please don't be hard on your critics, this is just a story running on my head for long time now so I just want to share it you.

Damon's Ascension

Humanity is caught in a great upheaval after the Intergalactic Union of All Species coincidentally discovers their existence on what they had formerly considered to be the fringe of the universe. Without any say in the matter, they get indicted into the Union as a legal member. Unfortunately, this meant that they were now obligated to partake in the exploration of a new Chaotic Realm parallel to their universe containing rich energies, resources, and essence that the universe itself craved. To that end, the universe has created its own will, which seeks to gather all races and strengthen warriors from them to explore the dangerous but lucrative Chaotic Realm, initiating the Augmented Reality simulation, Essence. In Essence, one can experience a carefully crafted universe similar to an RPG game, either by going in through your soul or going in through VR. The former means that death is true, and the latter is similar to a normal FIVR experience. Those who go in with their souls can freely receive feedback from their 'game characters' to obtain all stats, skills, and items they acquire in Essence, while those who go in with VR do not obtain that benefit. However, those who pay for it in Essence can receive an awakening of genetic talent called abilities. These abilities are graded from F to EX, a total of 10 stages. Not much is expected from the human race when the first 100 participants get chosen at random from the public - a standard protocol - only for each one of them to awaken at least an A-grade ability. Then, there was Damon Arnan, a young Ghanaian politician, who ended up awakening, not one, not two, but three EX-Grade Talents. The human race, which had just entered the galactic playground, was about to experience a storm with Damon smackdab in the middle.
