We were once young. Now we are the sword of the stars.
Lin Yao, a boy from the impoverished reaches of space, ventures into a forbidden star zone in search of his father and accidentally activates an ancient stellar core. From that moment on, he sets out on a journey cursed by fate.
There, he meets Lu Shen, a boy from the Shadow Clan burdened by blood vengeance, Lei Heng, a genius mecha engineer, and Su Qing, a fallen noblewoman. Together, they form the Meteor squad. Yet beneath the academy’s glory lies a power struggle among the Federation’s elite, and behind the fiery space battles is the cold calculation of the Genesis Project, which treats human nature as a variable.
When a brother’s secret becomes a blade turned against them, and the truth about their families points to a conspiracy spanning the stars, Lin Yao must choose: submit to fate, or burn the stellar core and carve a bloody path to freedom for his companions?
This is more than a journey among the stars. It is an ultimate reckoning with protection and betrayal, humanity and divinity.
“We don’t fight to become heroes. We fight so the word ‘hero’ will no longer have to be used for eighteen-year-old kids.”
Lin Yao
“A country’s strength isn’t measured by how many warships it can build. It’s measured by how many people are willing to stand in front of one another, and how many are willing to pull those people back.”
Su Qing
“I don’t know who I am. But I know whose side I want to be on. That’s enough.”
Lu Shen
“I can’t save everyone. But I can save the person in front of me. Then the next one.”
Bai Lu
“Real courage isn’t being unafraid of death. It’s being afraid of dying and still moving forward.”
Lei Heng
“Home isn’t a place. It’s a group of people. Wherever you are, that’s where home is.”
