Mage Steel: A Western Sci-Fi Cultivation Series

A thousand years ago, Earth fell. Rifts tore open reality, flooding the planet with eldritch horrors and corrupting energy. The armies of man fought back—evolved, adapted, awakened to new powers. It wasn't enough. Earth was abandoned. Humanity scattered to the stars. Now, Knights are all that remain of Earth's warrior legacy; humans wielding Rift-forged power armor and ancient combat disciplines. They fight for hire: clearing Rifts, crushing uprisings, toppling regimes. To the galaxy, they are mercenaries. To their enemies, they are myth made metal. Cadet Kon was training to join their ranks; until his ship was shot down and he crash-landed on a Rift-infected world crawling with pirates, bandits, and relics from a dead civilization.  Cut off from command and stuck with a crippled Knight. Surrounded by monsters that should not exist. Survival is no longer the goal. It’s the first test. Kon must fight his way through a planet lost to madness, track down his scattered comrades, and uncover secrets buried beneath ancient stone and alien fire. Each battle drags him deeper into the unknown—and closer to a power that might burn him alive... or forge him into something more. For fans of sci-fi and brutal cultivation arcs, Mage Steel delivers high-stakes action, cosmic mystery, and a hero who refuses to die quietly.  April 2025 – A Writathon Release
