The Horizon Saga

Alphard43
Earth was abandoned after scientists confirmed an unavoidable asteroid impact. Humanity escaped to a distant planet called Vespera, rebuilding fragments of Earth’s culture, fear, and ambition. To survive, humans created the Horizon—an artificial shield where technology functions and civilization remains controlled. Beyond it, advanced systems collapse, signals die, and the world becomes unstable. Outside the Horizon exist hostile entities known as Vestiges, along with Relics—crystals that do not respond to machines or commands. They activate only through physical contact and react to human intent in ways no one fully understands. Over time, people began crossing the Horizon alone in search of answers, resources, or purpose. Some returned changed. Many never returned at all. Aarav is one such traveler, driven not by heroism but by unanswered questions and instincts he does not trust. When he comes into contact with a Relic, something far older responds. The Vestiges are not random. Humanity escaped extinction once. The question is whether it deserves to survive again.

A Stark new Rob rewritten & continued!

A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones belong to George R. R. Martin. I'm simply writing a fan story set in his world after what was season 5- what they are calling an ending. Welcome! This story was inspired by the many amazing authors who have expanded upon or created wonderful worlds I love, especially A Song of Ice and Fire. While I admire Martin's incredible world-building, I wanted to explore a different direction. This is an original character (OC) as Robb Stark story. In this timeline, Robb dies in a stable accident early on, but he is replaced by a reincarnated fan and veteran, a history professor who possesses knowledge of the world and its future. This is not a tech-uplift fic—expect modest improvements in tactics, engineering, logistics, and sanitation, but no guns, trains, or miracle medicines. The Old Gods and some others, as well as magic, play a bit more in this story, but not in a way of high fantasy The story follows a capable Robb who knows what is coming and intends to change history. Don’t expect the White Walkers to be the final threat, and if all goes according to plan, this story will exceed 300,000 words. I also take a different approach to Westerosi politics. Some events and alliances in the canon never made much sense to me, so this story explores how things might unfold with a more experienced Robb making different decisions—including preparing for dragons. Thank you for giving my fanfic story a glance. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it.
