The Nyxian Gap. Known as an endless area of sparse but incredibly spread out asteroids, nebulas, black holes, anomalies and other junk, it stretched across many light-years.
Situated in a corner of the Komodo Star Sector, it also happened to cross over into Majestic Teal and Vicious Mountain. The sheer amount of asteroids spread around this area was so large that many astrologists speculated whether a large amount of star systems all blew up at once in recent stellar history.
The sheer amount of oddities that took root in the Nyxian Gap certainly suggested deliberate intent! Perhaps a war between precursor alien races detonated an entire space region.
No matter what happened back then, the Nyxian Gap became a major headache to the nearby star sectors.
The slightly discordant spacetime and chaotic situation turned it into a major pirate haven. The rare incidences of highly desirable exotics also turned it into a major treasure hunting destination.
This is the 1000nth chapter of The Mech Touch. After one-and-a-half years of writing, I have finally reached this pivotal milestone! As far as I know, I'm the first original author on Webnovel to have published so many chapters of an ongoing original story!
I'm very pleased with my accomplishment. This is the longest story I've written so far, but I still have much more in store for this story!
To anyone who has read this far, thank you for sticking with me and for enjoying my story. I truly feel fortunate to be able to make a living by pursuing my passion for writing!
