Chapter 01 I wake up and... what?

It’s pretty dark in hare.

Isn’t it about time to wake up?

Waking up? I don’t remember going to bed...

Going to bed? I don’t remember getting back home...

That’s right! The invasion! There was an alien invasion! A lot of lizard faced guys. Were they looking for the infinity stones?

Man, I wish I met the purple guy. Now I’m dead.

I’m supposed to be dead… right?

Right, the space invasion. I was shot in the stomach.

Really, what a bad day.

Wait, what am I so angry about?

Space ships… alien invasion….

Yeah, that’s right. I swing more toward the fantasy side, not sci-fi. Swords and magic were my thing. Laser guns and space crafts never hit the spot for me.

A gate to another world would’ve been nice. Scratch that, I would never like it if I got murdered by some random goblin immediately after getting beaten by thugs.

Wait… how did I die again?

Right right, the alien invasion.

The green creature shot a hole through me. There is no surviving that.

I don’t feel dead though… that’s weird...

It’s like I just enjoyed a really good night of sleep, something the sleep deprived me never got in a long while.

Isn’t it about time? Any minute now…

No? No system notification? No cute goddess?

Is this what they meant when they said there is nothing after death?

You mean I lived through all that misery just to end up in nothingness?

C’mon! You could at least send me to hell and let me laugh at the irony!

What did I do to deserve this?

Hmmm...

that’s strange… who am I again…?

Space invasion…

Green lizard faced aliens…

Sci-fi guns…

Girls getting eaten…

A bad day…

…..

…..

…..

…..

…..

Shit… I can’t remember. I can’t remember anything…

Hold on... Am I supposed to feel this good about it?

I think... I think I’m going insane… I can’t move…. I don’t feel the rest of my body…

I feel tired...

I... Have to… sleep

~◇~

Day in. Day out.

I wake up, try to remember, then fall asleep again. That’s how I counted them, but in truth I had no way of knowing how much time actually passed.

It was dark and I had no way of keeping track of time. How many days have really passed? Or was it weeks? Could it be months? More importantly, am I dead? Or am I alive?

Did the lizards really kill me?

Perhaps I was eaten, they seemed to like human meat.

An alien invasion huh… How do I know it wasn’t just a dream? 

The fog covering my memories continues to expand, getting thicker each time I try to remember. The idea that everything I can still recall might be nothing but dreams felt more logical every time I thought about it.

No, it wasn’t a dream. 

The scorching wound I got was real, I can still remember the pain very clearly, though the sensation itself seems to have disappeared.

Wait...

If I’m unable to feel the wound, doesn’t that mean I’m really dead? Not that I’m able to move or feel anything else. No, I am still able to feel the pain. Something like when you see someone getting kicked in the balls and grit your teeth as if you were the one hit.

Man, it would be hilarious if my luck is so bad that I survived my long awaited death.

Am I really dead though?

I can’t move, I can’t see, I can’t hear. It’s like all my senses are gone. Am I breathing?

Hold on...

I try to think about breathing. Doing that causes it changes to manual control and I feel myself struggling to keep it going. I can feel myself inhaling, then exhaling. It’s slow, but I’m breathing. Finally, a proof that I’m alive!

What are you getting happy about, idiot?

Some old guy once said: I think, therefore I exist. That guy should go eat shit. Thinking alone isn’t proof of existence. If everything else is gone, you can’t even tell if you are alive much less if you exist. But if I'm breathing, it's an entirely different case.

If I’m breathing then I’m still alive. If I’m alive then I somehow survived that alien attack. Am I in a coma right now? Or could it be that I reincarnated and am currently in the womb of some woman? I will take the later please.

I want to move…

I want to leave this place…

I want to go home…

No. I want to die…

There is no point in going back...

I'm tired of that pointless life...

If I'm going to die then please let me...

I didn’t want to survive…

I don’t care who. Someone, please end it...

Once again I sense exhaustion taking its toll on me, as if my mind is being forced to shut down. I dive into the dreamless slumber once again.

Wait, if I can feel tired, wouldn't that mean...

I think I’m currently completely naked too.Why?I remember floating in the darkness before my mind inevitably shut down. I remember I couldn’t feel a thing besides breathing before falling asleep. Now, however, I can feel the cold, solid surface beneath me. I can sense my eyelids pressing tightly together as well. After much struggle, I force them apart.Everything was a blurry mess, but thankfully dim enough to not cause me any discomfort. As I wait for my vision to clear, I suddenly recall the alien from my dreams and the hole it put through my chest. I instinctively reach for the spot where the wound should have been only to find nothing.There is no scare. No trace of a wound.Was it... was it all a dream?I stare at my bare skin and notice something else.This... this isn't my body...Clear, unblemished skin and toned muscles. Pecs, abb

    Standing there while flashing my manhood to an armed girl, I prayed in my heart that she wouldn’t turn out to be a tsundere of the violent type. If she really is one then this situation would have either one of two endings:One: she accidentally kills me.Two: she accidentally turns me into a girl.Her reaction, blushing to the point of steam rising from her head, made me realize what a shameful first impression I was giving right now.I covered my crotch with both hands and turned away. For some reason, it felt like one of those dreams where you go to school just to notice you weren’t wearing any pants.The humiliation... I would never wish it on the worst of my enemies.Turning my back to her wasn’t any good either. Again, I had nothing on at the moment.Now, all that’s left is to wait for her to scream. If I’m lucky enough she wouldn’t resort to violence. Best case scenario I would be labeled as a pervert and it ends there.Please don't be a tsundere!As I waited for the verdict som

    Her name is Lilia.She is a female Zesionien from Zsion, a planet in the twenty-first sector of the Gwabara star cluster in the galactic rim of the Luminous Veil Galaxy. In other words: she is an alien.Yeah, I know, I know. She isn’t a demon. What did you expect? A succubus wearing a white dress? Those creatures are known for wearing dominatrix-style black clothes. Although she has horns, the impression I got from our first interaction makes me believe she's more like the serious and surprisingly innocent type. Besides, this place is a little too comfortable for it to be hell.Apparently, I’m on a planet in the same area called Gorgola.My previous guess turned out to be true. Since she introduced herself by giving me the name of her species and the location of the planet it originated from then casually mentioned that we were on an entirely different planet, I no longer had any doubt that the setting I'm currently in involves interstellar travel, meaning the genre of my story had jus

    Gwabara star cluster, Sector twenty-one, planet Gorgola, Lilia’s spaceship.By the time we sat down around the campfire, the sun was on its way out. A few minutes earlier my stomach started roaring. Surprised by the loud noise, Lilia proposed we eat first.I didn't know what to expect from alien cuisine but my famished self didn't seem to care. We were having the same rations as before along with some leftover soup Ms. Alien cooked the day before. Going by the color, smell, and taste, I decided to name it tomato soup.We sat around the campfire eating silently, but when we were done it was back to the awkwardness we experienced on the way here.I looked back at her ship. It was clear from the crater beneath it that it had a rough landing. Its body shell and windshield don’t look to be in the best condition and even someone with no experience like me could tell it’s incapable of flight. When I asked Ms. Alien about it as an attempt to trigger a conversation, she told me the engine was d

    Sector twenty one, plane Gorgola, Lilia’s space craft. Although it looks quite small from the outside, the craft's interior is comparatively spacious. It’s clean and well organized, you wouldn’t be wrong to think it was assembled recently. In fact it’s too clean for something that crash landed from space. How is this thing still intact? “I will make something for you to wear.” Lilia said as she walked to the back. “You can’t sleep like that, right?” “That’s… something we can agree on.” I’ve been walking around like a pervert for a few hours now. I don’t want to ruin her impression of me any further. “The night is cold too, you don’t want to get sick.” In one of the corners was a glowing ring about two feet in diameter. She pointed at it and told me to get inside. “Stand here, then take that off.” Not like this, a w

    After I was done with the shower Ms. Alien began scanning my body looking for any abnormalities.The tube-like space was no simple shower room. It can be used to perform a full-body scan and detect any internal ailments or injuries.So that’s what the boiling water was about, huh? You don’t know what germs and microbes might be sticking to something you found on an uninhabited planet. Better sanitize it just to be safe.I guess that’s another reason as to why she kept her distance from me. Definitely not because I smelled nasty.The scan also took my measurements. Apparently, the ship has yet another sci-fi device that can make clothes out of raw materials you could collect outside. It disintegrates said materials to their base components then uses them to make the fabric for the clothes.The clothes themselves are top quality as far as I know. The problem is they would seem strange as casual wear by human standards.Ms. Alien took it upon herself to make something for me to wear, but

    What little memories I had told me I never was the kind of guy who did his business in the woods on a regular basis. It was a truly novel experience, though something told me it would have felt entirely different if we were back on Earth.Finally done, I covered the abomination I spawned with some dirt then washed my hands. The sanitizer mixed in the water stung a little, showing that it was much stronger than I had expected.When I returned to the camp, I saw that Ms. Alien was preparing to go out. She said the morning was the time she used to gather fruits since the most dangerous beasts were still asleep.When I asked why she doesn’t store some instead of gathering them every day, she explained that she only does that when making the rations.Apparently, despite being uncharted, Gorgola housed animals and vegetation that could be found on other planets in the same star cluster. One theory is that most of them were brought there during the attempts to study the planet, which ended up

    With no phone or watch I had no way to tell the time, but by my estimations, at least an hour had passed before Ms. Alin returned.Too busy contemplating my existence and missing memories, I didn't notice her until she stood in front of me. It was only then that I saw the strange object she was carrying in both hands.“Umm… what is that?”If I had to describe its appearance, I would say it's a watermelon shaped like an apple. I guessed it was some type of alien fruit, but when I looked at Ms. Alien for confirmation she appeared as confused as me.“This? According to the catalog, it’s a papaya.” She said with a straight face.Of course, that thing didn't look anything close to a papaya if you ask me.“… it seems… different from what I remember,” I commented while rising to my feet, still trying to understand what part of that was the papaya."I saw it for the first time when I arrived here, but I can confirm it is a papaya." She took a step in my direction. "Though since it's still raw,

    I went to take a shower and after I got out I ran into Logan. He was surprised to see me, thinking I wouldn't be up for another few hours.He was holding Blue in his arms. Apparently she was playing with the other kids and fell asleep at some point so he came to put her in her bed. [This kid…]A third candidate, huh…Iris doesn’t seem to like Blue a lot. From the photos I saw and how Lilia described her I can see the similarities, and now that she has cat ears and tail instead of the Zesionien horns, Blue certainly looks like a miniature version of her.Blue reminded Iris of her childhood, and not in the pleasant nostalgic way. What made it worse was something Hir said after my speech.Blue told Lilia that she saw a ghost following me around. That shocked the both of us, but Iris felt frustrated that she never noticed she was being watched, and by a kid nonetheless. Blue was rather talented at hiding her presence, she even managed to steal my book right before our eyes and escaped wh

    Sector twenty one, Gorgola’s, Tiga One, Seven.My eyes slowly fell on the somewhat familiar ceiling. The room was shrouded in a weak light and a weird smell wafted in the air."Mm…"The feint breathing sound reaching my ears brought to my attention the weak pain I felt on my chest. Lifting my head to investigate its cause I saw a ball of messy hair with what looked like horns coming out of both sides. One of them was pressed against me, that was the source of the pain."How can she even breathe like this?"Lilia was fast asleep. Seeing her like this makes me wonder if my chest was that good of a pillow. I moved aside the strands that covered her face, carefully stroking her hair. As I ran my fingers into it enjoying how silky it felt I breathed in relief and couldn't help but smile. Our naked bodies exchanged heat underneath the thin blanket. Lilia was so soft and warm. When she is sleeping beside me like this I sometimes forget about the fearsome warrior she was. This is my beautifu

    Seven looked at his right hand, soaked wet after it made Lilia climax. The female Zesionien was gasping for air. She looked at him with moist eyes, her breasts moving a little with each breath she takes. Strength had left her body long ago and all she could do was accept his kiss before he gave her a moment to rest."We are just getting started yet you are already like this?" Seven said with a teasing smile. He took the blanket that was pushed aside and used it to wipe his hand."It's because… haa~… it's because you did that… ha~h...""Well, Lilia is so cute I simply couldn't resist." He went down and kissed her once more. "I want to do more… ah! I almost forgot…" He extended his hand to the wall on his left and tapped it twice. A small rectangular panel, green in color, appeared at that spot. It listed a few things; the temperature, the light and the door lock. However what he was looking for was the option to turn off communications so no one could bother them from that point on.

    Sector twenty one, Gorgola's orbit, Tiga One.In her room, Lilia sat on the bedside looking somewhat nervous. She tried to calm herself taking one deep breath after the other, but her heartbeat refused to settle, and her body felt incredibly hot.Well, the heat shouldn't be a strange things considering she had finished showering a couple of minutes ago, but instead of cooling down her temperature just continued rising.I-I have to calm down, I can't let this go on!Just when the banquet was nearing its end Seven decided to take his leave. Thinking it was time to get some rest she was about to do the same, but when she rose to her feet Seven wrapped his arms around her and lifted her in a princess style carry. Those who saw it were numbered, with everyone in that place either snoring or too drunk, but she still felt the embarrassment of a crowd watching her being taken away knowing what was about to happen to her.Seven was perfectly awake. Not that sleeping for days enables him to st

    Sector twenty one, Gorgola's orbit, the Verta clan’s mothership. The plan went through smoothly. There were a lot of details to go through, but for now Seven declared that it was time to celebrate. Such huge gatherings always called for a banquet. Food and drinks, music and dancing, then some crying and tears.It was a long journey that had finally come to an end. The whole clan went through a lot, and now that they’ve finally reached their end goal they could step back and get some well deserved rest.The Herara partied for hours on end, stuffing themselves before laying down and surrendering to slumber. The conference room was turned into a great hall. It was the center of the party, but now that the music had stopped and the laughter ceased, only a few heavy drunkards were still up while the rest dropped in their place snoring."Been a while since I've last seen this." From atop the stage Hir watched the satisfied expressions of his clan members, holding his cup with a drowsy lo

    When they arrived back to the ship Hir summoned all the captains and the high ranked individuals to make the announcement, but he was surprised to find that the conference room was already full.Their patience had ran out. First they hear that the clan head was defeated, then that their goal was within reach. Three days passed and all they got were those two vague sets of information, and while still in the dark they were led to a place they never been to before.The higher ranked clan members were the ones who rallied the crowd to demand an answer from the head. The respect and fear they felt toward him were gone now that they know he lost to someone in a duel, and the longer they had to wait the more destabilized their loyalty became.Hir got on stage and gave a few words to introduce their new leader and as expected, he got quite the backlash. It's the first time they hear about such thing so reacting this way is perfectly normal. There were those who watched the duel between Seve

    Sector twenty one, Gorgola's orbit, the Verta clan’s mothership. After it was decided that the Verta clan would be taken in by Seven they immediately set course for Gorgola.They had to call the ZSFCO and ask commander Blitz to order the retreat of the Zesionien forces that came in to intercept them. Though the old man demanded they give him an explanation later on it seemed he was convinced that things would turn out okay.The strain of the fight against Hir ended up affecting Seven more than expected causing him to stay in bed for the entire sixty five hour trip, and with a lot of explanation yet to be done a heavy atmosphere spread through the whole clan.Seven ordered Hir to not tell anyone anything, especially when it came to Iris. As expected, with such a giant battle happening right above their heads the clan members had quite a few questions to ask. Most of them watched their leader lose to a prisoner so they were worried, but their heads were cooled down temporarily when Hi

    Sector twenty one, Gorgola's orbit, the Verta clan’s mothership. "Hmm…" Stroking his nonexistent beard, Seven thought to himself. Public speech huh, I don't think I have considered this seriously…"You can spit energy blasts from your mouth yet you can't say a few words in front of people?" Iris being Iris, she started making fun of him the moment he got cold feet.People I won't be killing, that's an important part. Besides, I don't think they have a very positive image of me…In the conference room, which is really just a big empty hall that could fit a lot of people, Seven stood in front of a large crowd.Most of them were the fur covered tiger faced male Herara, looking like what space pirates should look with scary eyes and scars here and there, but with not a single smoker in sight they felt more like a censored version for a kids show.Those were the captains of each ship in the clan's fleet. Two hundred was a big number, some of them brought a few guys from their crews, add

    Chapter 10: Lord.

    Sector twenty one, the Verta clan’s mothership. "I have finally found you, my lord." Hir said, his head lowered respectfully. "…. Did I fray your brains or something?" Seven replied, one of his brows rising up. "No, I'm in perfect condition both mentally and physically, my lord.""... I don't remember you hitting him on the head. Did you do it while I was knocked out?" Iris said, her head tilted slightly. I… don't know…The fight was done. Rather, if it went any further the ship wouldn't be able to hold. When Hir went down on his knees Seven expected him to admit his defeat, but instead he said something outrageous.‘I have finally found you’… Is he talking about… Seven thought."Nah… there is no way…" Iris added with a weak smile.Seven and Iris already understood what lord he was referring to, and they knew he wasn't exactly wrong. Lilia and Logan were in the dark on this one so they silently waited to see how Seven would react."Anyways, this means you surrender right?" Seven
