it's currently 2025, early September my name is tequilla Rico I go by the moniker Silver. to be honest today is the anniversary of the U.S.G. that's the United space government, all it did though was give an evil man ten years more of being an evil president. I am not aligned with them though as I am independent shipper a space ship captain to be exact, in order to explain I need to go back a few years. in the years 2020 Trump won a second term after such travisty, he laid claim to the stars and successfully completed that notion in 2021 with a space craft that could leave and enter our atmosphere. their issue was what came after they tried to use pilots of plains but was unsuccessful in that so, they tempted thousands to try. me and a few friends from social media played a game called elite and as pros we thought it funny and sent in applications and accidentally got hired. that was a government funded job to ferry people to and from the stations, it was a fair amount of time before I was allowed to do anything else although before they found people willing to sign a military contract they gave me a ship license and pilots license. I wasn't one of those people though the ones dumb enough to sign their lives away and become dogs of the military, so I went work less until in the year 2022 they legalized the ownership of a space vessel and started to shell out mass produced ships albeit millions of dollars the cheapest one was two million. I had a million in my bank so I sought a job I met a nice man he hired me as a pilot and partner for his company. I struggled Along side this man as we built a company i was in debt to him a million in the beginning I owned forty percent of the company for one year, but we worked our asses off and finally got a chance to prove our worth they produced the new tech that allows light speed. In early 2023 we had the capacity to commit to colonization, we started by delivery our company finally got its name Purple Crow delivery. we also made millions for half a year we made it even better than I thought I kept the original ship I named it crow, but not by not i expanded the fleet trained young ones. I became an engineer of ships and helped expand even more we began our second business Michael the man who made this possible for sick and gave me the company I mean 99.9% of it, so I did what any rich man would in late 2023 I sold the company for trillions. in early 2024 the president gained his title as U.S.G.P. gaining ten more years and two weeks later we were met by aliens. they gave us no choice about what came next though they told us we had one year and some odd change, as too our advance they told us that there is worlds beyond us and that in one year diplomats from all across the universe will meet with us to plan our engagement into universe. that leads me to early 2025, this is January our time there was millions of different races and we had too choose three too help us advance even further. in that moment between shaking the hand of the man who claimed to be a "kindler of umbrage" a screen appeared in front of every living human and animal even insects and parasites, even plants were included in this. that screen said and I quote, " welcome to the system of Umbrage May it's shadow encompass all. In the center of the universe, lie claim of the sentinels, the makers, and the regalia's. administrators of the system. unto all they tower over, and unto all they spread the Umbrage system." after that we got another screen which changed the fate of Earth from a random dot in the universe into a new speck of dust in an infinite expanse. .

Umbural

Umburals Dark Fantasy • Sci-Fi Horror • Psychological Thriller In the year 2097, Earth was no longer stable. Its orbit had begun to decay slowly, silently, dragged by the weakening gravitational tether to a massive, hidden planet that had circled the solar system for millennia. Scientists called it a phantom world, only visible during rare solar eclipses when its silhouette shimmered against the sun. Slightly bigger than Jupiter, its atmosphere resembled Earth’s, but its gravity was stronger, its terrain fractured into three colossal regions of jagged mountains, deep valleys, and broken lands. When a meteoroid threatened to shatter Earth’s crust, humanity launched its final exodus. Hyper-jump technology was still experimental, but there was no time left. Out of the estimated 9.2 billion survivors, only 5.4 billion made it through the jump. The rest were lost burned in the atmosphere, scattered across space, or left behind. They were ripped and pulled on to the phantom planet. The locals were already watching. Umburals humanoid beings with elfin features, black eyes with white pupils, and bodies capable of reshaping flesh, bone, and blood they had evolved far beyond human understanding. Their cities shimmered with advanced magical technology: floating spires, crystalline data cores, and energy-forged weapons. Their society was ancient, structured, and deeply spiritual. They did not hunt the humans. They welcomed them. At first. The Umbural governors offered shelter, medicine, and integration. They taught humans how to survive the gravity, how to adapt their tech, how to breathe in a world that pulsed with arcane energy. But not all Umburals were the same. Beyond the central cities, other clans existed wilder, stranger, shaped by different philosophies and powers. Some were territorial. Others were curious. A few were quietly hostile. And then came the conflict. Humanity, fractured and desperate, began to push back. They didn’t like the Umbural hierarchy. They didn’t trust the magic. They wanted control. Mankind’s old hunger to dominate, to lead, to reshape the world in its image resurfaced. Tensions rose. Trade broke. Skirmishes flared. Umbural governors demanded for peace, but the damage was done. Some humans began weaponizing Umbural tech. Others tried to claim land from the outer clans. The planet, already unstable from Earth’s gravitational collapse, began to react. Now, the world teeters on the edge of a new war. Umburals walk among humans. Humans build weapons to match Umbural biomass. The three fractured regions of the planet each ruled by different forces are stirring. And deep beneath the surface, something ancient begins to awaken. This is not a story of invasion. It’s a story of survival, betrayal, and the cost of coexistence. Welcome to Diamond.
