Summary :
A young man discovers that he's a descendant of a race of celestial beings called Ancient Ones, he decides to travel through the galaxy with a former space pirate in search of his true self.

Introduction :
A millennia ago there was war on the galaxies, planets fought planets, Emperors of civilizations(group of planets) spent
funds meant for feeding their subjects on acquiring warships and weapons there was famine and miniature empires rose to power with the help of pirates. War was a common act in some galaxies until the Qurx Empire built a terrifying weapon of mass destruction known as Nebuchadnezzar, it had the strength of a million cosmic missiles and had the power to destroy planets in a push. After the loss of many civilizations in the hands of the weapon everyone felt remorse and broke a truce, the nine galaxies of the universe came together and set up the Cosmos Alliance. As a sign of endless peace the Nebuchadnezzar was blown up, thousand years had gone and the legend of the Nebuchadnezzar had become a war tale but many secretly feared it's power.

Chapter One :
Welcome to planet C-88 a small agricultural planet known for growing moon-berries, there were many agricultural planet like C-77 and C-78, they were under the Carliad Civilization of Bear Claw galaxy , and were one of its subordinate planets for providing food and income. The Inhabitants of C-88 were mostly refugees of invaded planets and immigrants who couldn't afford to live in the main planets under Carlaid, they all pledged allegiance to the emperor and the civilization by having a slaver tag attached to their bodies. Everyday the people worked on the the farms, since C-88 was far from the sun special floating cubes known as Star-Lamps provided energy. By harvest period space trains came to export the moon-berries to other part of the galaxies, in return the emperor provided the planet with food and security. Everyone lived contentedly and crime was rare but there was a problem every agricultural planet faced- frequent disturbance from Vikings of the galaxy. These Vikings were called the Vorsks, by harvest period they came in their battleaxe shaped spaceships and looted the small planets of their efforts, if they couldn't they threatened to loot the space trains, many times delegates had been sent to the government of civilization for help but the case was taken nonchalantly.
There was one person who didn't care about the problems of the planet, his name was Nico and his dream was to become a member of the Cosmos Command, a military service that protected the universe from the dangers of outer space. Little is known about him but seven years ago his body was found inside an abandoned spaceship, his only friend was Donks, a mysterious person like him who worked as a bartender.
"say Nico I heard that the Vorsks are coming to this planet again soon " said Donks one night
"yeah " yawned the lazy Nico "it's always like that every year. They can come as far as they don't cause trouble for me"

"Why can't we make our desires be granted by the Atlas?" Dawn asked her grandfather Holgon. He dropped his chess piece on the board and answered
"all we need, the Atlas has blessed us with it. We have ears that we may enjoy the melody of the morning birds, we have noses that we may feel fragrance of the daisy, we have eyes that we may see those we love dearly and smile... what more can we desire for than peace of mind?"
Dawn said "but the humans have all those magnificent houses and grand clothes, why are we forbidden from having all that opportunity?"
Holgon laughed with his crackly voice "Of my 105 years of working with humans, I discovered humans created religion without sacrifice, artistry without passion, pleasure without hard work, wealth without conscience. The universe is run by the law of balance, you can't always have all you want but you can get all you need"
"So you mean the Atlas force also brings bad things?"
The old burrow nodded "the Atlas is the border between hope and despair, good and evil, grace and punishment, order and chaos , riches and lack" he looked at the orange setting sun "as old as I may be I still have hope for a better tomorrow... that is why I pray... and wait that as the morning comes I will see you all and be happy"

That was nine years ago...
Old Holgon passed away, while Dawn blossomed into a beautiful female burrow ripe for marriage. She had clocked eighteen and entered into womanhood, at this time she was suppose to be in her time for marriage. She had face which produced an enchanting smile, and possessed a proper womanly figure, it wasn't surprising that humans also found her attractive but she had also attracted a good number of suitors unfortunately she turned them down. Normally the duty of female burrows as a wife was to cook, clean , bear children, take care of those children... Dawn never wanted that kind of life, she had heard of women in the human society take up leadership positions and not housewife duties.
Everyday she watched her father and brother Leroy in envy as the entered flying trains to work which crawled the sky, being a human was the only way to achieve her dreams.She watched the rainbow ring of the Atlas stretched around the sky, if she had enough money she could make a wish to become a human for maybe an hundred years.

Dawn worked in a restaurant with her mother and there was a particular customer who came everyday his name was Hugo, he was a young human.
"I forgot my wallet today I'll pay next time" he would always say but never did. Hugo worked in pest control agency where they got rid of Sparkies, rodents that fed on electricity. He lived in the burrow colony and followed the flying trains to work at the human cities.

Hi,this is my first story. Enjoy...

Atlas: The Power to Change Everything.

Have you ever been in a dream where you wish never to wake up again?... well the Atlas answers that. The Atlas is a godlike supercomputer that has existed before the beginning of time, it holds the heavens and the earth together and controls the universe. But the interesting part is that it had the power to change reality and answer the deepest desires of every existence...

Chapter 1::The World Under the Atlas.
The Atlas is massive rainbow which encircles the world, being the link between heaven and earth. We live in a world of modernisation were instead of praying people log into the website of the Atlas and make a wish, every wish being made required a price to be paid and the wish had a lasting time range according to what was given. The Atlas had become a god that people sacrificed their money, and those who never had large amounts of money sacrificed what they held dearly for their desire to be answered. A wish had a time range of at least five years to fifty years (according to what one could pay) and then it expires. A man could pay a large amount of money to wish for a beautiful wife, he may afford ten years and reality is changed that he marries the woman, after ten years the wish expires and the woman vanishes, and so is everything she came with including children and even memories disappear, the universe is restructured and the man returns back to the way he was ten years ago.

There are races of people lower than humans, we call them Burrows. They looked like humans but they had long cat-like ears and whiskers, they were shorter than humans and more weaker in nature. Humanity took advantage and became their masters, as far as they weren't humans people treated them like slaves, they planted the crops for their masters, they engaged in the most unskilled labour and had limited education. This was a new form of slavery.
The Burrows were a peaceful race, they admired their human masters, they were honest, kind and unfortunately naive. They lived in colonies, and each colonies was made up of families, they ran a traditional family and taught their children good values. The men worked to bring home the bacon while the women kept the family in order, every Burrow were kind to their brethrens that if one was hungry or had no money they offered to help. It was surprising that a lowly race of creatures lived contented lives and knew the deepest values of life like love and family, the Burrows believed in the religion of the Ancient Ones and prayed to the heavens to bless their masters the humans. Unlike them the hearts of humans were already warped with greed and selfishness, with their only aim to get their selfish desires granted by the Atlas.
Only one Burrow thought like humans, her name was Dawn and her deepest desire was to become a human.

I could see her sitting among the stars and smiling at me , I blushed. Her beautiful face beckoned me closer to touch her, with a stroke of love I flew into the night sky to see this goddess. As I got closer, my eyes grew clearer and I could see her radiance illuminate the moon... suddenly she laughed and blew a gentle kiss at me,it drifted me back to earth. I awoke from my dream world though I could still hear her voice, and wept to sleep again so I could be with this goddess once more...
