In an empire where prophecies are woven by the Bene Gesserit and the Noble Houses battle in an ancient power game, some are born marked not by destiny... but by the fear they inspire. Kael Atreides, firstborn of Leto and Jessica, was not conceived to be a mere cog in the Brotherhood's schemes. From birth, his abilities defied expectations, and the Reverend Mothers saw in him a threat that not even the Kwisatz Haderach could contain. The decision was stark: banishment. No trial. No explanation. Only an order sealed by silence. Aboard a rudderless pod, Kael was launched beyond the known routes, into the eternal void... until the void answered. In the farthest reaches of the universe, where neither CHOAM nor the Emperor could cast their gaze, a colossus of metal and mystery awaited him: a Ring forgotten by human history. There, an ancient intelligence—a Monitor of the Installation—saw not a lost child, but the worthy heir to an impossible legacy. Raised among titanic structures and the secrets of a technology that defied the laws of the Empire, Kael grew up far from Arrakis, from the intrigues of the Landsraad, and from the echo of the spice. But he did not forget his name. Nor his blood. Years later, when the Monitor declares his apprenticeship over, Kael returns to the known universe—not as the exiled son, but as the wielder of a power the Great Houses cannot understand or confront. As Paul Atreides faces his own destiny in the arena of Arrakis, Kael contemplates a broader horizon: He will not fight for a throne... He will fight to rewrite the rules of the game. But even in his unstoppable rise, questions haunt him: Is he master of his own will, or just another cog in a design even more ancient than the Bene Gesserit? Can a man molded by machines retain his humanity... or is Kael Atreides the first emperor of a new age where flesh no longer rules?
September 23rd, 2560, AI, Naomi Hello captain, to preface the ongoing conflict with the Banished forces, our resources are draining faster than anticipated, Marines, Spartan IV's, and even our Sangheili allies like the arbiter are being affected with the escalating conflict. ONI however is... they're getting on my nerves, they're being more paranoid than usual and I have an idea why, a field report in 2559 was filed during the Spirit of Fire issue, during their skirmises with the Banished, but that's not what's scaring ONI, at least i don't think.. in that report, a squad of marines under interim commander "Major Vaughan" have reported suspicious activity near firebase Omikron... something about a shifting shape with bioluminescent curtains within. a strange report to say the least, but whatever it is it's got ONI's panties in a bunch... AI Naomi, signing out. PS: i apologize but I must advise caution, I believe this universe is far larger than we all anticipated.
Reborn in 2022 I died full of ideas... but without time to make them a reality. Now I'm back. 2022, Mexico. Back in my university body, with everything ahead of me and everything I learned in my other life: the rise of digital commerce, cryptocurrencies, artificial intelligence... and the mistakes I won't make again. No one knows I'm from the future. This second time around, my goal is clear: to become a mogul, from the public university classroom to the skyscrapers of Mexico City. With a little vision, a little technology—and an artificial intelligence I brought with me—I'm going to seize every opportunity before the world even knows it exists. Because this time, I'm not here to survive. I'm here to win.
A silly accident at the university gate changes everything. Putri Anggun Cahyani, a tomboyish scholarship student from a humble family, never imagined her first kiss would be stolen by none other than Putra Andri Pratama—the cold, untouchable heir of one of the nation’s wealthiest families. Things get even messier when Bayu Ramanda, Putri’s childhood friend and a taekwondo champion who has always protected her, steps in to “save” her from Putra. From that day on, a fiery love triangle begins—torn between friendship, pride, social status, and emotions that grow harder to control. But behind the bickering, misunderstandings, and heartbreak… small moments slowly bring Putri and Putra closer. Until one day, a storm forces them to decide: is their love truly fate, or just a ridiculous mistake born from a crash-and-kiss on their first encounter? Romantic. Funny. Heart-pounding. A love triangle filled with conflict, passion, and sweet moments—leading to a journey toward a happily-ever-after.
Firstly, I love the Halo series. I've read some of the books but I'm not a lore god so there will probably be things that don't quite make sense. But I will do my best to make these fit in. Secondly, this is my story so I'm taking some creative liberties with it. One such liberty will be the possible addition of enhanced prosthetics from things like the Cyberpunk Universe. Another is that the main character is stronger and faster than nearly everyone he comes across. He is a lab grown super soldier meaning his genes were modified every step of the way to make sure he is the best of the best. Lastly, The Praetorians are a new faction to the Haloverse created by Dr. Carl Hopkins, an ex-ONI researcher who worked on the Spartan program with Dr. Kathrine Halsey. After he tried to tell ONI there was a better way to go about the Spartan Program and they ignored him so he copied the research and fled, creating The Praetorians. As I’m sure you’ve guessed I don’t own Halo or any of its supporting assets. I do however claim the Praetorians and all of their Equipment as my own. Now please enjoy. ------------------------- Praetorians don't die. Our brains are cloned before every mission so that if we die we get cloned and our brain is restored. Everyone says Spartans don't die, well Praetorians can't die. Not because we are any better than them. Because top brass won't let us. Praetorians don't die. We are immortal warriors.
