LOWKEY INTERSTELLER CAPTAIN

Cheno Bo sat alone in the Academy’s restricted database chamber, the dim glow of holographic interfaces casting long shadows on his determined face. His mind replayed every revelation from the system, the truth of his bloodline, the origins of the Void Sovereign, and the path he now walked.

Binding Percentage: 10%.

He had three months until graduation.

Three months to reach 100% Binding.

Three months before the ultimate weapon of a lost civilization would be his to command.

The Nature of the Void Sovereign

[System Notification: Expanding Data on the Void Sovereign]

[Designation: Continental-Class Warship]

[Function: Supreme Command Ship & War Fortress]

[Status: Partially Functional, Core Systems Locked]

[Reconstruction Level: 8%]

The system’s voice resonated in his mind, artificial yet ancient, as though speaking from the grave of a forgotten race.

[The Void Sovereign is the culmination of an empire’s technological mastery. It is no ordinary warship, but an indomitable force capable of planetary sieges, dimensional phasing, and self-evolving capabilities. Its core, constructed from Void Matter, grants adaptive intelligence and limitless growth potential. However, following the supernova catastrophe, most of its systems were fragmented and scattered across deep space.]

Cheno’s fingers tightened into a fist. This wasn’t just a weapon, it was a civilization’s last, lost hope. And it had chosen him as its master.

[To fully restore the Void Sovereign, you must gather lost components and reintegrate them into its core structure. Resources, technology, and knowledge must be accumulated.]

[Your progress will unlock greater functions:]

• 20% Binding – Unlocks Tactical Command Authority
• 50% Binding – Activates Energy Redistribution Systems
• 80% Binding – Enables Dimensional Navigation
• 100% Binding – Grants Full Control & True Awakening

His mind raced with the implications. He wasn’t just gaining a warship. He was resurrecting a forgotten god of war.

Training for Domination

Cheno wasted no time.

He increased his time in the Academy’s starship command simulators, pushing himself through grueling battle scenarios. Fleet warfare, emergency hyperspace maneuvers, advanced ship-to-ship tactics needed to master them all.

But weren’t enough simulations.

He needed real experience.

And that meant pushing boundaries.

During combat courses, he started incorporating Void Synchronization techniques. At just 10% Binding, his reflexes had already heightened, his perception sharpening in battle.

In hand-to-hand combat, opponents who once matched him now struggled to keep up.

But he wasn’t alone in noticing his growth.

Xian Ren’s Schemes Begin

Xian Ren sat in his family’s private sector of the Academy; his face twisted in irritation as he watched the latest reports on Cheno Bo.

“This bastard should have collapsed by now,” he muttered, fingers tightening on his glass.

Aeliana sat beside him, her expression unreadable. “He’s more determined than I expected.”

Ren scoffed. “It doesn’t matter. He’s just a dog struggling against fate.”

His father’s influence meant that Cheno was still politically powerless, and Ren intended to keep it that way. But more than that—he wanted to see him broken.

“Prepare the next test. Let’s see how much more punishment he can take before he finally breaks.”

A Trial in the Dark Void

Cheno’s opportunity for real experience came sooner than expected.

[System Notification: Mission Generated] [Void Expedition Training: Engage in real-space combat simulation within the Dark Void.]

The Dark Void—a hostile region of space known for its gravitational distortions and pirate activity.

Each year, the Academy sent its best students to undergo live combat trials. But this time, Cheno sensed something more.

An opportunity.

As the system continued scanning, a new alert flashed before him.

[Void Sovereign Fragment Detected—Unknown Coordinates.]

His heartbeat quickened.

For the first time since his family’s fall, he felt something stirring deep within him.

A path forward. A way to reclaim what was lost.

And a chance to rise above them all.
