Stardust Symbiosis

In a world where humanity shares cities with alien symbiotes, Rufeng stands at the threshold of the Seventh Symbiotic Zone with nothing but a warm identity chip and clearance that won't get him far. When Xela—a liquid-metal being from the Xel galaxy—glides past, leaving fluorescent trails in its wake, their fates intertwine in ways neither species could predict. Beneath the Sky Dome's eternal light, metal streets pulse with ancient greenery, and every scan, every glance from a sensory membrane, pulls Rufeng deeper into a conspiracy that will redefine what it means to coexist.
