SynopsisA Reverse Harem Sci-fy story. This book takes place in an alien planet called Area-1, where everything is technologically advanced and the general population is intellectually equipped.

Lini Dynasty, the daughter of Area-1 High Commander, lives in a professional world surrounded by smart and powerful men. She thinks that they are her friends, equally curious and mentally resourceful, sharing the same interest in uncovering the secrets of the universe as she is, until the unexpected happens when they start to profess their hidden feelings for her, to which she doesn’t know how to respond than breaking their hearts. Follow the journey of Michael, James, Nathaniel, Thomas and Ed in attaining the heart of their asexual colleague, Colton and Mark in coming to terms with feelings for their sister and cousin, and Alak, Bass and Bartek in convincing Lini that an inter-galaxy romance is what she wants. Area-1, for never-ending discoveries. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Guide to Area-1Area-1 is a planet located in the Norm Galaxy, trillions of light years away from planet Earth. Men and women of science are raised and educated in this planet from early age in order to build a better living community. Babies are visually stimulated with knowledge, toddlers are encouraged to explore and experiment, and children are equipped with tools to evolve ideas and create original inventions. By the time they reach teenagehood, they are stationed in a designated post of their choice according to their skills. This productive time schedule will allow individual living beings to reach their highest potential as early as possible, therefore allowing them more time to enjoy the rest of their lives when they can retire in an early age. As a high level planet exhausted with refined technology and ever developing discoveries, men and women of Area-1 are determined to keep evolving for the present and future of the community. To maintain order and discipline in this wide society, a hierarchy of ruling is applied to its inner working. The rank High Commander is entitled to be the superior ruler of Area-1. He is the sole ruler of the entire planet, contributing his services to his people and time sacrificed to ensure that no hiccups ever clog the time scheduling, right from the bigger picture down to the smallest detail. My dad also happens to be the current High Commander, which means it is less time for me and my brother, and more time on work, but that is okay. It is not like we are lonely or needy. We have each other, at least, and also Mark and Cara, our cousins (although it is more like a one-way communication with Cara, seeing as she is still in the incubator due to her premature birth). And it’s not like dad works alone. He has a few dozen people helping him make big decisions and settle on small detail planning. A handful of Head Departments work under the High Commander, each leading a certain entitled scientific technology field assigned to them. They not only represent the whole department they command, but also control the fundamentals of elements, as well as the indispensable factors. Some of these well-known fields are technology, biology, chemistry, health, agriculture, astronomy and lastly but not least, futurology, which also happens to be the department I am commanding, thanks to years of dedicated hard work and my ever-ending desires to seek more than what I can see. They don’t call me the prodigy child for nothing. Working as a department head means more time with dad, though not that I’m that desperate. My brother, Colton, also works in the same department as I am, for two primary reasons: one, so that we can spend more time together; and two, because my engineering strategies are always so out of this world, rarely anyone is available to risk it. For us, work in Futurology Department is often filled with happiness. Each of these fields are maintained and developed in order to preserve its benefits. Being an individual of Area-1 is a logical and intellectual life form in most of the general case. These individuals tend to prefer working areas with clean environment and fully adequate equipments. They enjoy entertainments such as music, dancing, exercising (despite some of the contrary beliefs) and drama, but tend to primarily spend their time with work, as unlike some individuals from other planets or realms, they do enjoy their work as part of entertainment. Sis, can you please stop hacking/vandalizing the tourist guide with your personal rants? —Love, Your Dearest Brother. Colton, that’s quite a hypocritical comment. Besides, no one reads this, except for the natives. And I have nothing else better to do (while under this major writer’s blockage). Not quite, as mine will self-delete in sixty seconds. By the way, yours will too. I figured I’d do you the favor along the way as a return for the last time. —Colton. Boooooring. And no one asked you, so you still owe me that favor. Type ‘aye’ if you’ve read this. Aye. —Colton. Children, in my office. Now. —Dad. High Commander, please refrain from using the tourist guide to send messages to your children, even if it will self-delete in sixty seconds. —Professor Echo. Noted. —High Commander. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ General Equipment‘Computer screen’ is generally transparent and can be two dimensional or holographic. It can be controlled upon air touch or gesture. Functional in either horizontal or vertical, attached or afloat, this multi-purpose object plays a huge part in Area-1’s daily activities, from military purposes to ordering groceries. While the screen is placed depending on convenience, the hard drive is placed securely in the center of the planet, along with other governmental units that keeps the mechanical planet gravitated together. For a more personal use, ‘head screen’ is designed similar to that of glasses, though without lenses and lesser frame for user’s comfort. Head screen can only be accessed and seen by the user only. It can be controlled upon eye movement and connected to any computer screen.
