First Edition

Long ago, in a distant universe, a mysterious force emerged—an unstoppable entity that consumed the energy of every habitable planet across the cosmos, leaving them uninhabitable and their inhabitants extinct. Only one planet remained untouched. 

Drawn by survival instincts, two surviving races—Humans and Reptilians—each separately discovered this last sanctuary. Strangers to one another, they encountered each other for the first time on this lone refuge. Despite their differences, they forged a fragile peace, sharing the planet’s last habitable zones and uniting as a single civilization.

But their salvation was short-lived. They discovered the universe itself was contracting and dying, a phenomenon later known as the Big Crush. Desperate to escape the imminent extinction, the greatest scientific minds—including a visionary group of Black women known as The Loas Division—came together. They identified ten dark holes, believed to be portals to other universes. In secret, they launched Project Exodus, a last-ditch effort to survive. But the energy cost was catastrophic: only a small fraction of the population could be saved.

As news of the project leaked, panic and chaos tore through society. Ethical lines blurred. Who would be chosen to survive?  

Who would be left behind?

Amid the collapse, two leaders—Lael, a Reptilian, and Vince, a Human—an interracial, queer couple—made a radical decision. They sealed all their civilization’s knowledge and history within a bioengineered fetus named Kian, the Catalyst, designed to unlock only through a union of both races. Lael and Vince also uploaded their consciousness into the Catalyst, hoping one day to guide a reborn society.

Nine missions were launched into the dark holes—each carrying settlers, scientists, and hope. While survival was uncertain, communication was expected. Yet one by one, the missions crossed the void and fell silent. No signals. No confirmation. Only endless unanswered transmissions. The final mission—carrying diplomats, the Loas, and the Catalyst—became their last hope. When it, too, vanished without reply, many believed all was lost, leaving behind a world in chaos, doomed to extinction.

But against all odds, the final mission survived. It emerged in a new universe, landing on a young, habitable world known today as Mars.

Survival once again bred conflict. The native inhabitants resisted the settlers—and in a brutal struggle for survival, Reptilians and Humans committed genocide against the Martians, claiming the planet as their new home.

Peace did not last. When the truth of the Martian genocide surfaced, a coalition of different nations across the stars—the Federation of Star Nations—formed. Outraged, they presented an ultimatum to the Reptilian and Human settlers: disarm, submit, or face expulsion. When Humans and Reptilians refused, war ignited across the skies of Mars.

Amid the bloodshed, the Loas uncovered a horrifying secret: the Reptilians’ R-race Program—a bioengineering initiative where the Reptilians were fusing genetic traits from enslaved beings across different star nations to create a new, superior Reptilian army. These bioengineered soldiers would be stronger, faster, and deadlier than any existing species, with the plan of turning Earth into a military planet—the stronghold that would host the R-race army.

Seeing an opportunity to shift the war, the Loas exposed the Reptilians’ crimes to the Federation and proposed an alliance with Humans, offering advanced technology in exchange for their own freedom. Betrayed by the Humans, the Reptilians were defeated and scattered across the stars, while the Loas fled to Pluto to begin again.

But not all Reptilians were gone. Some vanished into the hidden layers of the Sun, waiting, evolving, preparing for their return. Decades later, Humans rose in power—until even darker truths emerged. When their true origins were exposed, the Federation turned against them, believing Humans were never meant to exist in this universe, and waged a devastating war that nearly wiped them from existence.

In desperation, Human scientists created two special beings—Izaar and Lucifer—entrusted with the knowledge to revive civilization. Other pairs were sent across distant stars, but Izaar and Lucifer were sent to Earth, tasked with preparing it as humanity’s next cradle.

As Earth was being terraformed, the Loas— fleeing another war—arrived. In exchange for sanctuary, they offered their advanced technology and newfound abilities to aid in Earth’s transformation, agreeing to live hidden among the future Humans.

Izaar and Lucifer entered a state of suspended sleep, trusting the Loas to complete the Work.

Decades passed. When Izaar and Lucifer finally awakened, they found a changed world—and devastating news: humanity had long since perished. Only they, the Catalyst, and the Loas remained.

With Earth now habitable, Izaar and Lucifer undertook the task for which they were created: to birth a new modern Human race— Earth Humans—designed to give their species a second chance.

The Federation, wary of humanity’s rebirth, allowed the new Humans to exist— but only as a primitive species, forbidden from joining the greater star community or developing advanced technology and weapons. Yet hidden among them were surviving Reptilians, now masters of deception, capable of perfectly mimicking Human form. They seduced Lucifer to their cause, corrupting him from within. Betrayed and alone, Izaar was forced to take drastic and devastating action—an act that ultimately led to her imprisonment by the Federation.

Nearly 2,500 years later, in 1940, Izaar was released with a final mission: Save humanity—or see Earth destroyed. She awoke to a world fractured by hatred, war, and division—where Reptilians, disguised as Humans, plotted global domination. Though she managed to thwart their immediate plans, she saw how deeply humanity’s own greed, cruelty, and fear had corroded the world.

Disillusioned, Izaar began to question whether humanity was even worth saving. But when she was lost, searching for an answer to humanity’s worth, she crossed paths with heroes who happened to identify as LGBTQ+, and ironically, they were the only ones who could save this flawed human race.

But after being ostracized, nearly erased, and stripped of their freedom, they now wonder:

IS HUMANITY WORTH SAVING?
