Falling Stardust
War.
War is all we know. War for peace, war to take, war to protect. War for resources.
It is impossible to avoid war because your neighbors won’t. If you are perceived as weak, you will be targeted. Your land and wealth stolen, your people killed, sons enslaved and daughters raped. To survive in this world, more important than oxygen; is strength and a cold heart.
The only source of strength are mana veins. He who owns mana veins has the right to live and the right to rule.
He who owns mana veins better have the strength to keep it or long life is but a pipe dream.
Xasha hated war. War had taken everything from him and gave nothing in return. He hated that all wars were over petty things like pride and pocket change. He always looked to the vast wilderness with longing. He wondered why all the warmongers hadn’t turned their spears there. Where vast lands and untapped wealth were.
Once he became a father. Xasha, the naïve, knowledge-loving merchant, decided he did not want his child growing up in the same world he did. He decided to change the world, end all war and unite the abandoned region.
How will he do it?
By starting a war, a war that will end all wars. Not a war with his neighbors over pride or a few mana veins. No. He will rage against the wilderness and the world beyond.

Chapter: Epilogue"Lili oh my little how beautiful you are, my Lili oh my Lili you are shining like a star..." the sounds of laughter bouncing off the walls filled the room. "Hey, you've never sung to me before," Ari complained as she walked into the room. Xasha looked at her and froze. She was wearing a golden gown with pearls and frills all over, her hair was beautifully done, by Lisa no doubt and her face painted.

Chapter: Ch 80: The End Footsteps, murmurs, and the occasional rumble of thunder were the only sounds on a once chaotic battlefield. Every member of the Stardust Army under the peak of the platinum realm joined the beastmen in retreating behind the forcefield. The shockwaves alone from mages that powerful could kill them in a second. "Oh?" Verra said with an intricate expression. "Come then, let's see if you are any better than that lady elf I killed a few days ago."

Chapter: Ch 79: LovellThe air particles whipped around in a circle, culminating and concentrating above the head of the long green hair of a young man. Quietly seated on the hard, heavily scarred ground in a meditative state.A dozen pair of tearful eyes stared at the man from the gallery of the training arena. Verra wiped the tears from her brown cheeks, "I can only imagine. Creating an energy beast spirit with the mana he attracts while he's meditating, that boy truly is extraordinary," she smiled through her sadness.

Chapter: C h 78: Aunt who is what?No less than 30 tribes were ambushed and annihilated using this tactic. The beastmen horde, as predicted, no longer took the bait and avoided the forcefield like the plague. Regardless of the obvious openings or how ruthless the taunts became.Ari looked on from her position in the control room, "I want to know how they are communicating.""Maybe they're not communicating, our little trick was very simple. Those who aren't as overconfident and emotionally unstable will never fall for such a thing," Dana pointed out.Ari gnashed her teeth, "tell raid team A to C to prepare for guerilla tactics. I will see if this was coordinated or coincidence."Boman heard the order and gave a shrewd smile. He gave the signal to his team and as soon as he did, his team who were fighting hard while defending gradually showed signs of losing out. The beastmen gained more confidence and increased their pace of attacks. However, as the raid team pulled back, they did not seem as eager to pursue them.Boman

Chapter: CH 77: No, kill them allCherry woke up in a room with pink walls. Through the glass, she could see men and women in pink lab coats running back and forth. The uniform helped her understand exactly where she was. A tall, heavyset lady with short pink hair walked into the room with a clipboard in her hand. Cherry knew this woman and felt relieved that it was a friend taking care of her. She tried to sit upon the pink stone table she was on, her body was exposed as the pink sheep rolled down from her body. Her bodysuit was cut open and pink bandages were on her legs, arms, and abdomen.The moment she moved, all those places lit up with pain,

Chapter: Ch 76: HeartbreakThe night sky lit up in a myriad of colors, children in their homes were looking at the pretty lights from their windows with amused faces. Not much had changed in Stardust City, nobody even considered for a second that Stardust City would ever be destroyed by an enemy. The streets were full and the nightlife bustling as young people frequented bars, restaurants, and other entertainment venues. In contrast, outside the Six Star Mountain was pure chaos as blood and fire rained down from the sky.It was absolute pandemonium as mages and energy beast fell like autumn leaves, "Burn... Burn, Liu, Burn is down, cover me,
