Set in the year 2169, two centuries after humanity first stepped onto Earth's moons, EMM (Earth) (Moon) (Mars): The Mandala Labyrinth Gold (The World) explores a future where humanity has expanded across Earth, the Moon, and the Mars, together forming the vast civilization known as the EMM World. Although the devastating Climate Change Catastrophe of the 21st Century once reshaped human civilization forever, dangerous environmental changes are beginning to rise again as political power, industrial expansion, and technological ambition continue to grow across the three worlds. At the center of the story is VJ, a rising athlete of the futuristic global sport known as mandala labyrinth gold (MLG). While pursuing greatness in this highly competitive sport, VJ gradually becomes involved in a much larger struggle: protecting the climate and future of the EMM World itself. Standing against him is his dangerous archrival, Croco, whose growing rivalry with VJ slowly evolves into one of the greatest conflicts within the series.

Loyal T. Baluos is a debut Indian author whose love for storytelling began through cinema. Deeply inspired by both Indian and Hollywood films, he has always been drawn to stories of many kinds, ranging from science fiction and fantasy to biopics and historical dramas. Among the works he admires most are the novels of Jane Austen, especially Pride and Prejudice, along with the many film adaptations based on her stories. His fascination with science fiction, space, and the infinite universe eventually inspired him to begin his journey as a sci-fi writer. At the same time, his love for emotionally rich storytelling across different genres is reflected in some of his favorite series, including Game of Thrones and Friends.

Before beginning his writing journey, Loyal worked as a transcriptionist and later as a proofreader, experiences that slowly gave him the confidence to believe that he, too, could one day become a writer. The greatest inspiration, however, was the story that remained alive in his mind every single day while balancing a demanding full-time job. Determined to give that story a voice, he began learning the craft of writing through YouTube, books, and other resources, carving out whatever time he could from his busy daily life. After years of persistence, he finally succeeded in completing his first book. Through the EMM (Earth, Moon, and Mars) series, he hopes to create a vast futuristic universe that blends science fiction, environmental themes, emotional human struggles, sports, politics, philosophy, and space civilization into one interconnected story. One day, he hopes to become a full-time writer and continue bringing the worlds and stories within his imagination to life.
