A Hero’s Song — Web Novel
[Royal Road Writathon challenge winner!]
Humans never stopped evolving. At an unknown date in the early 21st century, people started developing extraordinary skills; at the expense of a staggering decline in birthrates.
Life became our most prized possession. We ended all international conflict. Humanity settled into a comfortable existence on Earth.
Until a meteor — the size of the moon — was discovered tearing directly at us in 2514. Governments scrambled to design weapons powerful enough to destroy it.
Our plan came to a grinding halt once sensors detected the meteor slowing down. Alarms blared worldwide as the meteor came to a stop, outside the orbit of the moon.
It wasn’t a meteor. It was an invasion.
