Summary :
A young man discovers that he's a descendant of a race of celestial beings called Ancient Ones, he decides to travel through the galaxy with a former space pirate in search of his true self.

Introduction :
A millennia ago there was war on the galaxies, planets fought planets, Emperors of civilizations(group of planets) spent
funds meant for feeding their subjects on acquiring warships and weapons there was famine and miniature empires rose to power with the help of pirates. War was a common act in some galaxies until the Qurx Empire built a terrifying weapon of mass destruction known as Nebuchadnezzar, it had the strength of a million cosmic missiles and had the power to destroy planets in a push. After the loss of many civilizations in the hands of the weapon everyone felt remorse and broke a truce, the nine galaxies of the universe came together and set up the Cosmos Alliance. As a sign of endless peace the Nebuchadnezzar was blown up, thousand years had gone and the legend of the Nebuchadnezzar had become a war tale but many secretly feared it's power.

Chapter One :
Welcome to planet C-88 a small agricultural planet known for growing moon-berries, there were many agricultural planet like C-77 and C-78, they were under the Carliad Civilization of Bear Claw galaxy , and were one of its subordinate planets for providing food and income. The Inhabitants of C-88 were mostly refugees of invaded planets and immigrants who couldn't afford to live in the main planets under Carlaid, they all pledged allegiance to the emperor and the civilization by having a slaver tag attached to their bodies. Everyday the people worked on the the farms, since C-88 was far from the sun special floating cubes known as Star-Lamps provided energy. By harvest period space trains came to export the moon-berries to other part of the galaxies, in return the emperor provided the planet with food and security. Everyone lived contentedly and crime was rare but there was a problem every agricultural planet faced- frequent disturbance from Vikings of the galaxy. These Vikings were called the Vorsks, by harvest period they came in their battleaxe shaped spaceships and looted the small planets of their efforts, if they couldn't they threatened to loot the space trains, many times delegates had been sent to the government of civilization for help but the case was taken nonchalantly.
There was one person who didn't care about the problems of the planet, his name was Nico and his dream was to become a member of the Cosmos Command, a military service that protected the universe from the dangers of outer space. Little is known about him but seven years ago his body was found inside an abandoned spaceship, his only friend was Donks, a mysterious person like him who worked as a bartender.
"say Nico I heard that the Vorsks are coming to this planet again soon " said Donks one night
"yeah " yawned the lazy Nico "it's always like that every year. They can come as far as they don't cause trouble for me"
