Vak is a Terran recruit in the Space Navy undergoing training on Neptune. This peace is shattered by an invasive attack from a force outside our solar system. Who are these new invaders, and how will our solar system respond to the attack?

Both levers trail the field
Traffic and conversion are both below comparable stories. Cadence is the first lever — stories posting near-daily reached 25 followers 17% of the time; stories posting every few days almost never did. Get the flow going, then re-check conversion.
Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 10–19 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views over the recent window.
