    Four years ago, the System arrived and rewrote the rules of survival, progress, and technology. Humanity adapted, unlocking passive skills, reshaping society, and reaching for the stars. But with a hard level 60 cap and only TL8 tech, the Solar System has become a cage.

    Now, for the first time, humanity is stepping beyond it.

    Luca Rossi and his young, ambitious crew board the Triumph of Darron, one of Earth’s first FTL ships, bound for Alpha Centauri. Their mission? Explore the uncharted, document its mysteries, and uncover what the System hasn’t told them. But beyond the mission log, it’s a chance to break free; to discover alien worlds, ancient secrets, dangerous portals, and maybe even themselves.

    This isn’t just about space. It’s about twenty-somethings on the edge of the unknown, navigating life, love, and survival in deep space. Expect messy relationships, hard choices, and a journey where every discovery, out there or within, has a price.

    What to Expect:

    -- Disclaimer: The story builds very slowly as our main character eventually matures. He is portrayed for what he is, a young, hormonal tween experiencing freedom for the first time. The story is meant to be raunchy at the beginning. If this is not your cup of tea, then it may be worth skipping. --

    🚀 Slow-Burn Progression – The story builds up, but trust me, it gets good.

    🌌 Exploration & Adventure – Alien ecosystems, volatile portals, and deep-space survival.

    📖 A Personal, Raw POV – Told through Luca’s unfiltered, messy, and emotional lens.

    🛠 Lite LitRPG – Passive skills that shape survival, combat, and life aboard the ship.

    💡 Slice of Life in Space – Crew bonding, relationships, and figuring out adulthood at FTL speeds.

    🔥 Fluid Relationships – No harem, just playful dynamics in a tight-knit crew.

    Inspired by: GURPS, X4 Foundation, Eve Online, MOO, Stellaris, No Man’s Sky.

    Join the crew of the Triumph of Darron. Humanity’s greatest adventure is only just beginning.
