The Forerunner by James Clay

A GameLit Progression Fantasy

Action, magic, and romance

The forerunner

Zed is a washed-up MMA fighter that is starting to realize that there isn't much of a future ahead of him. While hitting the bar with friends to forget his sorrows for a while, he meets an attractive woman who has an interesting story for him—aliens are going to take over the solar system in two years. Thinking that she is either crazy or he's had a few too many, Zed writes her off—until she shows him things that aren't possible, including healing his chronic injuries and showing him what she actually looks like (hint, not human).

There is no stopping the takeover, but humanity is going to be sent to an already populated planet and will have to find a way to survive in a hostile world. A few humans will be sent ahead to prepare the way, to give humanity a chance. They are the Forerunners.

Sample text:

"My name is Victoria, by the way. And you are?”
“Ozymandias.”
“The ‘look upon my works and despair’ guy?”
“That’s the one. I think my parents picked it when I did my first
poop,” Zed said, pleased that it elicited another laugh from Victoria.

“See, that should have been your pickup line. You can never go
wrong with a woman by leading off with poop.”
“Are you sure? I haven’t got to the part about living with my mom
yet, and trimming her toenails and sanding her corns every night. I’m
thinking that that could be a real winner.”
“Yeah, you're right. I’m getting all tingly over here just thinking
about it,” she said, still smiling as she reached for her glass.
