Ark Debt: Maya's Journey
She was born into debt. They expected her to stay silent. They were wrong.
In Earth Ark, every child of Conscripts inherits their family’s EcoDebt. Maya Sharma grew up knowing the system had already decided her fate. Her grandmother once tried to warn the world. Now Maya carries that legacy—along with the scars of what the Ark took from her.
Branded a dissident, imprisoned, and forced into a public reckoning, Maya must choose: surrender to the Ark’s control or risk everything to ignite a revolution.
Ark Debt: Liam's Journey
In the year 2052, Earth is an icy wasteland ruled by elites from Mars. Humanity's last refuge on the frozen planet has become a prison controlled by AI. Within Earth Ark, survival depends on maintaining a positive balance of EcoPoints. At eighteen, Liam Vance must choose to inherit his family’s crushing debt and a life of harsh labor or be exiled into the frozen Wastelands.
He chooses exile—and becomes something more than the system ever expected.
Thrown into a world he was taught to fear, Liam battles the cold, hunger, and the ghosts of a past he never knew. But beyond the Ark’s perimeter, he finds truth, resistance, and the strength to return. What began as an escape becomes a revolution.
