Age of Space [Dark Sci-Fi]

In an age where humanity has conquered large swaths of the galaxy, Ronin only has two dreams: To make spaceships, and to be free. An unlikely encounter with an alien artifact, however, drives him into both despair and opportunity. Can he survive the disasters to come and achieve his dream or will the path he's forced upon turn into something else entirely? Humanity might be strong, but the universe is vast, and hubris is a sin when confronted with nearly infinite possibilities. Join Ronin as he embarks on a journey of spaceship design, battle and political intrigue in a world filled with larger-than-life characters, grand technological marvels and much more! Planets are mere footnotes; the galaxy is the stage! What to expect: Crafting, biomodification, weak to Strong character progression with a bit of Xianxia mixed in, battle, terrorism, and a MC that skirts the edge. Though not a straight up villain, Ronin's certainly not a goody two shoes. Update schedule: 1+ chapter each Sunday
