I'm writing a novel titled: Machina Arcanis! Mecha. Magic. Mythos. And the clash of two worlds. --- The Osten Empire, wielders of arcane sorcery, and the Dunkelheit Empire, masters of advanced mechs and mobile suits, have waged war for decades, their conflict stretching across the stars. But everything changes when a forbidden spell, the Light of Punishment, is unleashed, shattering the balance of power and plunging both empires into chaos. Jack Squire was never a soldier. A veteran debris collector, he had spent years drifting through space, scavenging wreckage for a paycheck, with only one goal in mind: reuniting with his family on Earth. He had no interest in the war, no stake in the empires’ struggle. But fate had other plans. When the Light of Punishment is unleashed, Jack finds himself stranded in a warzone where magic defies logic, and machines shape destiny. With his survival instincts and a lifetime of piloting experience navigating treacherous space wreckage, he must adapt, upskill, and outmaneuver enemies far beyond his league. Every choice he makes could mean the difference between life and death, and the only way forward is through the battlefield. He’s not fighting for a cause. He’s fighting to stay alive and to find the people he loves before it’s too late. But as alliances shift and war machines clash against sorcery, a hidden force emerges. One that could rewrite the fate of both empires and change the course of history forever. --- What to Expect - Epic Science Fantasy - Multiple POVs, but still centre MC - Space Opera - Love, War and Tragedy - Slight Anime Undertone - Clash of Ideologies - Fast-paced The average chapter length: ~1.5k Words. | Release schedule: Workdays (5 chapters per week).
