Avalon Beyond the Eclipse

Aorii's personal light novel and worldbuilding project.

(This project is designed with two starting points; the first story being a prequel and written like a shoujo novel from the eyes of someone new to the setting, while the second goes in more conventional space opera style).

Story Synopsis

Tyranny may flourish under the wisdom of one.

--- Yet unrestrained, it takes but another to ruin the works of all.

Democracy may ensure a balanced hand.

--- Yet dissociated, it concedes to the desires of the now and many.

Thus, the Philosopher King shall be united with the Representative Republic.

--- Grant the liege his orders, for civilization must advance.

--- Grant the people their voices, for the liege must answer.

Revolution is the battlefield on which authority is founded.

Bureaucracy is the battlefield in which progress is endorsed.

--- But an Imperator has his allies; he need not walk alone, he must not walk alone.

This was the story of a collegiate corporate scion raised in occupied territory, who stumbled through to the last bastion of mankind, saved by the hands of the blackest ops, and involved with a team that deemed no action too atrocious for their goals, all to rediscover the legacy of a distant utopian dream that will alter the oncoming struggle for dominance in the fracturing new world.
