My Ultimate Sign-in System Made Me Invincible - Chapter 213

Chapter 213: First Man On The Dark Side Of The Moon
Earth shrank behind them like a fading jewel. From the pilot’s seat, Liam could see its soft blues and whites blending into a pale, luminous sphere. It hung suspended in the dark sea of space, haloed by light from the sun.

The spacecraft glided upward, leaving the last thin film of atmosphere behind. The shift was subtle as gravity loosened its grip on the spacecraft, and the weight of the world seemed to slip off his shoulders.

He looked through the windscreen, which also doubled as a Smart Canopy. The stars were looked sharp, now that Liam was looking at them directly and they were no longer blurred by the distortion of air. He counted thousands upon thousands of them. Pinpricks of light across a black canvas that stretched forever.

Lucy stood beside him and she was quiet too. She was aware that Liam was enjoying the moment, and she didn’t want to ruin it for him by speaking.

The spacecraft maintained a steady climb. The stars around them shifted slightly as the onboard systems compensated for motion. In the distance, the moon began to grow — no longer a pale circle in the sky, but a vast and textured world, with deep, ancient craters.

The spacecraft entered transition range and Liam switched to silent drive, and a soft hum replaced the low thunder of the engines. The transition was seamless as the ship now moved without any mechanical sound, powered by gravitic lift instead of thrust.

Below them, the curve of Earth gleamed one last time before fading into darkness. Ahead, the moon loomed larger with every passing second.

They got to the final approach and Liam decided to see the view of the moon in full light before they enter the dark side.

He rolled the ship slowly, allowing the bright half of the moon to fill the cockpit. The light washed through the glass, in pure silver glow.

“It’s beautiful,” Lucy said quietly.

“It is,” Liam agreed. “The silence makes it even more so.”

The ship crossed the dividing line. Day vanished behind them. Ahead lay the dark side — a world without sunrise.

Liam adjusted the stabilizers, the glow of the sun fading completely from view. Shadows swallowed the vessel, leaving only the faint light of distant stars.

“Entering the dark side,” Lucy said softly.

The instruments adjusted automatically. The sensors switched to low-light mode. Craters and ridges appeared in ghostly clarity across the display.

“Scan for a stable plateau. Somewhere quiet,” Liam said.

“Scanning… found one. Coordinates uploaded.”

“Good. Beginning descent.”

He guided the craft down himself, one hand on the throttle, the other on attitude control. The motion was slow, deliberate, and silent. The moon’s terrain slid past the glass — jagged, empty, endless.

“Altitude: one kilometer… six hundred meters… two hundred…” Lucy’s voice stayed calm.

“Manual landing,” Liam said.

“Confirmed.”

He eased the ship forward and cut the thrust halfway, letting the gravitic stabilizers handle the rest. The vessel hovered briefly, aligning perfectly over the plateau.

There was a gentle tremor as the spacecraft landed on the surface of the moon.

“Touchdown confirmed,” Lucy said.

“Smooth,” Liam smiled, as he released a slow breath and leaned back.

“As always, Master.”

“Time to see it in person,” Liam smiled, as he stood up from the pilot’s seat.

He walked towards the airlock chamber, followed behind by Lucy. As they stepped inside, the walls brightened with a soft blue hue.

The interior walls adjusted automatically, sliding away to reveal a circular room — the airlock.

The chamber glowed faintly blue. Mechanical arms extended from hidden compartments above, unfolding with precise, silent motion.

“Stand still, Master,” Lucy said.

Liam stood still on the circular platform.

The first arm descended, locking the chest plate onto him. The sound was clean — clack-hiss. Another arm sealed his shoulders, then his arms, then his legs. The armor assembled like liquid metal forming muscle.

Within seconds, the exosuit had enclosed him completely. The helmet descended last, sealing over his head with a gentle click.

The exosuit’s HUD blinked to life. Oxygen levels stable. Gravity calibration ready. Suit integrity: 100%.

Liam flexed his hands. The servos responded instantly, smooth and fluid.

“Ready, Master.”

“Let’s go.”

The hatch below them opened, revealing the docking lift. The circular platform rose through it, then began to descend to the surface of the moon.

The landing lights illuminated the lunar surface—a field of gray dust and black stone stretching as far as sight allowed.

The platform hovered down until it met the ground, the hum fading away.

Liam took the first step.

His boot pressed into the dust, leaving a perfect print. The motion was light, almost dreamlike. The gravity was barely here and each movement felt like he was floating.

He took another step and he turned to see if he could see the Earth, but the moon was tidally locked and Earth wasn’t visible from here and vice versa.

This was also the reason he had chosen this part of the moon, to build the starship.

“Lucy,” he said quietly. “We made it.”

She nodded, as she stepped beside him.

“The first humans on this side of the moon.”

“Not bad for a morning flight,” he said.

“Not bad at all,” she smiled.

He turned his gaze around, taking in the untouched landscape. Every crater was a frozen scar, every ridge a monument to silence

Liam decided to do what he came here to do in the first place; assigning an access point to the moon.

[Ding!]

[Would you like to assign your current position as an access point?]

[Yes] [No]

He immediately chose [Yes].

[Access point has been assigned. You can now access the Dimensional Space]

“Lucy, the moon now connects to the Dimensional Space. You can start construction whenever you’re ready,” he said.

“Ok, Master,” Lucy nodded.

The next moment, the air in front of her started rippling and she stepped through it.

After Lucy had left, Liam stood there for a while, gazing at the horizon. The stars above didn’t twinkle here. They burned cold and steady. The silence was absolute as there was no wind or even a sound of life.

He took a slow breath, then he began to walk.

His footsteps left soft prints in the dust as he moved toward the darker ridges. The terrain was uneven but beautiful in its emptiness. Jagged craters, sharp shadows, distant cliffs.

This was a world sculpted by time and untouched by hands.

He moved without hurry, scanning the landscape. He saw a deep crater ahead and he shot towards it, flight here was easier thanks to the exosuit.

He descended into the crater but he saw nothing but darkness all around him. He smiled to himself, as he flew out of the crater and continued exploring the moon.
