What if instead of aliens' invading Earth, humans invaded their planet?

After World war III reduced Earth to ashes, the last remnants of humanity fled to the stars, carving a new empire among the clouds of an alien world- *Elysium*. But this new paradise was already home to a native civilisation, one now shackled under the terms of a brutal treaty. Every year, the aliens pay tribute. Every day, their skies are shadowed by the ships of their human overlords.

The people of Elysium live under the boot of the Dominion-an authoritarian human regime that controls every aspects of life. Children are bred, not born. Raised not to love or dream, but to dominate. The highest honour in this twisted society is to become an Avatar-a chosen warrior diplomat engineered to mimic their slaves and maintain human supremacy.

Evan, a gifted but rebellious young recruit, never wanted this life. He dreams of something the Dominion forbids: *freedom.* But when he's selected to complete in the Trails, a brutal gauntlet meant to forge the next generation of Avatars, he must fight not just to survive-but to understand the truth behind the Dominion, the aliens they oppress, and the role he was bred to play.

As Evan's beliefs are shattered and loyalties tested, he'll face an impossible choice: rise as a symbol of oppression, or burn it all down...and take himself down with it.

In a world built on ashes and lies, what does it mean to be human anymore?

We all know about Greek Mythology, to some extent, but what if it was all formed around the tellings of Tiresius the Prophet about an alien species that would greatly impact the 21st century.

Because of the widespread knowledge of Greek mythology, Kronos was able to evade his doom at the hand of Zues. The alien emperor plans to turn the entire Earth and all its lifeforms into fuel to launch into space and begin his leech-like conquest. To do this, he raises two ignorant young humans, implanted with special abilities.

Little do they know, there was a secret fail-safe, prophesied but nearly lost to time that may change everything.

When Vanessa Hudgens, a world-famous actress, disappears without a trace on a quiet California night, the search for her begins as a routine missing persons case but quickly spirals into a chilling enigma. Friends, family, and authorities find no answers—only silence. Months pass, then years, until her abandoned Ferrari is discovered on a lonely stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway, surrounded by tire tracks that defy explanation.

The investigation deepens, revealing a terrifying connection to XMVs—extraordinary motor vehicles that blur the line between machine and nightmare. Sightings of these unearthly rigs and cars have been reported for decades: vehicles that seem to think, vehicles that can vanish into thin air, vehicles that seem to hunt. Linked to bizarre abductions, mutilated landscapes, and eerie encounters, these XMVs aren’t just anomalies—they’re threats from a realm humanity barely understands.

Through the eyes of investigators, survivors, and paranormal experts, the mystery unfolds. Were these XMVs merely mechanical marvels, or were they harbingers of something far worse? What role do they play in a shadowy, interdimensional conspiracy, and why do their operators seem both familiar and alien?

The story is not just about Vanessa’s ordeal. It’s about the fragile line between our world and others—about what happens when that line breaks, and the unknown comes roaring through at 100 miles per hour.

This is a tale of paranormal intrigue, relentless investigation, and the unsettling discovery that the roads we travel may lead to places we were never meant to go.

This is where all of our Human discoveries go. We first discovered the Humans(Hummans) a few days ago, and this is just an endless grouping of our discoveries.

Everyone has a story to tell, made from the moments in the lives we share. Consequently, every person has their own perspective, their own subjective experiences, and thereby, their own subjective realities. Even if the exact same story is told by two people, the details from one will differ in the other.

Reed and Lumina share their lives together, but each of them came from different backgrounds; each of them went through their own unique experiences. Reed is a human being like everyone else on Earth. Lumina is an Altiri, like every one in Genosis. Both are aliens to their own world, and both have seen their own source of immense darkness in their time.

The other side of the same story might sound similar at a quick glance, but in the depths of every personal reality, very little is ever the same. Welcome to the far side of the universe, in a safe corner of the world you've probably heard nothing about. Welcome ~ to Genosis. Welcome ~ to The Other Side.

ALTERNATE UNIVERSE is an album I wrote as a response to the way I felt I was being used by men as a receptacle and object of pleasure. Even though it was written during the beginning of 2024, the emotions explored through the album had been accumulating for years, pent up but never released - until I channelled them into words.

ALTERNATE UNIVERSE, however, doesn't just see me tackle what had been weighing me down for years. Characters were created that are on either end of the lust scale - some sensual while others are more chaste. While these aren't the only characters on the album, they are the ones that rule most of the tracklist - the ones embodying my disdain for hookup culture, as well as those representing my search for love admist it.

ALTERNATE UNIVERSE also circles around a particular fling that I had at the beginning of 2024, and my yearning for it to have had a different outcome. Thus, the title of the album was born; ALTERNATE UNIVERSE is my desire to see things follow a different route that it ended up going down.

That said, I hope you enjoy the journey I crafted by using futuristic images mixed in with my own thoughts, feelings and experiences. Thank you to everyone who has already engaged with ALTERNATE UNIVERSE, you reading it really means a lot to me.
