They Sold Earth as a 'Safe' Vacation World—The Wildlife Had Other Ideas | HFY Stories

When an offworld media sensation leads the galaxy's first luxury wilderness tour to Earth's carefully branded "safe zones," she expects pristine nature and manufactured thrills. What she gets instead is a Rakkar raider fleet choosing the worst possible moment to test humanity's defenses—and a crash course in why Earth's hazard rating was always a comfortable lie.

Stranded in the Wildfield Exclusion Dome as armored raiders descend and the planet's actual ecosystem wakes up, the tourists watch human rangers do something unprecedented: they don't fight the stampeding boars, swarming hornets, and prowling Glasswolves. They conduct them like a living symphony of teeth and lightning.

Because humanity never tamed Earth. They learned to dance with it. And when someone crashes that dance, the galaxy is about to discover what "adapted to survive" really means—broadcast live, with no marketing filter, to every species that ever underestimated the blue planet floating serenely in the dark.

Some worlds get conquered. Some get colonized. Earth? Earth bites back.
