future

In year 2050, an asteroid the size of a small planet, was on a collision course with Earth. Humanity’s desperate strike shattered it, its fragments halting in the Earth's sky forming the Shard Cities. But the collision left a hidden energy leaking into the world called Mana. Now in year 2150, humanity lives by one rule: Mana. Your M-Scale decides your worth. The powerful rule the floating Shard Cities above. The weak survive in the shadows below. Arin is one of the weakest a powerless M1 Cutter scraping a living in the lower city, dismantling dead Mana-Beasts to care for his sick mother and protect his younger sister. Invisible. Replaceable. Powerless. Until a core fragment explodes during a salvage operation. Arin should have died. Instead, something awakens inside him. A power that defies the M-Scale. Visions of a lost civilization flood his mind. As Arin grows stronger, the truth behind the Shard Cities, the monsters, and the very system of Mana comes into focus. And the being destined to destroy the world… may be connected to him. Now Arin must choose: fight fate, break the cycle, or become the reason the future exists.

Lin Feng transmigrated to a parallel world similar to Earth, except its technology was far more backward. At first, he was excited. With the knowledge in his mind, becoming rich overnight seemed easy. He could develop games, invest in emerging tech companies, and rise to the top without effort. But his dreams shattered almost immediately. The technology in this world wasn’t backward at all. Instead, most of the world had been forced to regress—because a terrifying empire, driven by an all-powerful AI, controlled the very foundation of modern technology. The switch of the technology—on or off—was always in their hands. As for developing new tech? That was possible… If you could survive the assassins. Realizing all this, Lin Feng’s excitement vanished and for the first time, he began to question his own existence. Just then— [Celestia Galactic Civilization initializing…] [Ding!

Elian Voss makes things look perfect on screens. In 2240, that means designing the digital layer woven into the fabric of reality itself, the invisible architecture that makes an interplanetary civilization feel livable, feel *human*. He is exceptional at his job. He is forgettable everywhere else. Then one morning, without warning, the color black stops existing. Not darkness. Not shadow. Not the concept of absence. The color itself. Every screen across Earth and its eleven inhabited stations throws the same silent error. `#000000` returns null. Scientists dedicate entire processing networks to finding an answer. Governments convene. Religions overflow. The world collectively screams into a void that no longer has a color. Elian stares at his code and thinks it looks *edited.* Not broken. Not corrupted. Clean. Like a single line was removed by someone who knew exactly what they were doing and didn't feel the need to leave a note. So he starts digging. Not out of heroism. Simply because he is the kind of man who cannot leave a bug alone at 3 AM. What he finds will not restore the color. It will not save anything. It will only show one exhausted programmer, in a civilization that can navigate asteroid belts and simulate ecosystems, exactly how mistaken they have been about who is doing the navigating. The color doesn't come back. Elian closes the file. Opens a new one. Gets back to work. "Some bugs were never meant to be fixed. Some were meant to be delivered." #000000 is a sci-fi story with 3 books Book 1: The color of what we built Book 2: The color of where we're going Book 3: The color of what comes next The story itself questions the human fragility that no matter how advance humanity progressed, a single instance can change everything humans knew, their foundation and the way of how humanity perceive life.

This is an era where heroes emerge in great numbers! This is an era where death and hope exist side by side! This is an era where the old order and the fires of new civilizations collide! What kind of grand epic will be written by the decaying federation, the fanatic empire, the obstinate theocracy, and the stirring foreign races?

The black dragon that rose from the depths of the South Sea unleashed an apocalyptic tsunami... Flame demons destroyed city after city made of steel and concrete, calmly departing from the center of nuclear explosions... Alien gods attempted to rule the entire galaxy... This is a future world where human technology is highly advanced. It is also an era that sparked a frenzy of Life Evolution in the Martial Path. Li Yuan, a Martial Path student on the verge of taking his college entrance exams, struggled to advance in this world while harboring the peculiar Divine Palace capable of envisioning the galaxy. Years later. "My current flying speed is 122,682 meters per second, and my power burst is..." Li Yuan flew at extreme speeds through the atmosphere about 180 kilometers above the surface of Blue Star, his cold eyes fixed on the massive creature at the dark void's edge, resembling the mythological dragon: "You, must be the strongest among all the invading Demigod life forms." "It's just unfortunate that I can now be called... Martial God!"

In times of war… What is a Battle Mecha engineer expected to do? Are they expected to do research and realize their imagination? How about a Battle Mecha pilot? Are they expected to enter battle with their mechas as they display their exquisite control through bizarre and bewildering techniques? What about a member of the special scouts? Are they expected to infiltrate deep into the enemy lines as they use stellar unarmed fighting skills to suppress the enemy with a single move? Or are they expected to make use of disguises and stealth techniques to take out the enemy? And what about a military officer? Are they expected to analyze the outcome of a battle? Or are they expected to create brilliant strategies to triumph over the enemy through a miraculous move? For someone who excels in human psychology, deceit, assassination, and disguise, what happens when that person is merged with all those professions? This is the story of a cowardly, wretched, and despicable fatty.

In the neon of blue and purple, under the thick steel sky, at the forefront of this surge of data, lies the world post-tech revolution. It's also the dividing line between reality and illusion. Steel and flesh, past and future. In this place, the world outside and inside coexist. Everything in front of us feels like a wall of time within reach. The darkness is slowly creeping in. But hey, my friend, you gotta know, we can't just counter darkness with softness. Gotta use fire.

The first star that passed away extinguished two thousand years ago. Four hundred years later, the mysterious Calamity of Heavenly Fall destroyed the civilization of the previous era, returning thriving cultures to ignorance. Since then, stars gradually vanished, the Firmament grew dark and dim, and a new civilization rose from the starless wilderness, flourishing once more. Yet, what accompanied this were war, death, destruction, and hatred. The flames once aimed at the Firmament were used to slaughter the people of enemy nations, and the raining clouds once engineered to alter deserts were turned into floods that engulfed the land. Humans once again began to kill each other for wealth and power... but no one looked up at the sky. They lost the Guidance of the stars Above the Sky, forgetting the awe of gazing upon the Milky Way. They were all prisoners. One thousand six hundred years after the Calamity of Heavenly Fall, a young child awakened memories of his past life. He wanted to break the Cage, to throw off the shackles. He wanted to become a star. To return to Above the Sky. "I don't care about how the people of this world live, whether they're well-fed or not, whether they can dress warmly or live comfortably, whether they have dreams or hopes. I don't care about their loves and hates." "I just want to go Above the Sky." ——Ian.

Alex, an average looking, 20 year old guy in the year 22XX, and his best friend G, dive into the Dreamweb, a simulation weaved together from a combination of billions of people’s subconscious dreams and technology guiding those dreams into specified forms. The Dreamweb is accessed by linking a sleep pod with the neural implant on the side of the neck installed in each person born past the year 2100. Heart of the Wild, a new Dream that has amassed an enormous following mere weeks after its development, has caught the attention of Alex and G. Deciding to wait until they had enough free time to get in some long sessions, the story starts on the night of their first dive. P.S.-I’ll try and upload 3 chapters a week for now, and I suppose we’ll see how that goes. Also, sorry for the typos that you will inevitably see. 2nd P.S.-As this will be a system based novel, I feel as if an explanation would be helpful. As I dislike putting hard numbers on stats, I won’t be including numbered statistics, but will be including skills that are leveled. An explanation will be given in the future, but the first status screen will be in chapter 4. Thx for reading.

Code Abyss: Resimulation The world did not end in a single catastrophic collapse. It ended because of something humanity created. In the era of Tyrak, a global system governed nearly every aspect of life. The world became stable—predictable—almost perfect. Until it fractured. The sky split. Reality destabilized. Existence shattered into seven zones, and those who failed to adapt became something else entirely. From the ruins of that collapse, a man awakens from cryostasis. He does not remember how the world ended. He does not know why he survived. His name is Kael Vieron. And the world is not certain it should allow him to exist. Marked by an unknown seal and drawn into the domain of the Imperatrix—beings who govern the structure of reality itself—Kael becomes part of a system far older and far more deliberate than humanity ever understood. Fragments are scattered. Laws are shifting. And every choice he makes is measured. The system offers restoration. But it does not promise mercy. As reality begins to bend once more, Kael must decide whether he is reclaiming the future—or repeating a design that was never his to control. Because when the world stands on the edge of resimulation, not every destruction is meant to be prevented. And not every savior intends to save.

The two will have to master their new found powers if they wish to survive. Will Nate be able to protect his brother? Will they find a way to make their family whole once more? At what cost does denying death come?

Updates on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays. In the 36th century, humanity rules the solar system. War, poverty, and scarcity are relics of a distant past. Cities hum with limitless energy. Hunger and illiteracy have been engineered out of existence. Society is stable and prosperous. But peace has its own consequences. In a world without scarcity, conflict becomes ideology. Extremist sects and insurgent movements rise in the vacuum, threatening the fragile order billions now take for granted. Stretch is a marshal — one of the elite civil enforcers tasked with preserving stability across the system. Analytical, disciplined, and dangerously adaptive in combat, he believes in the structure he was raised in. Until a new organization emerges. One unlike the others. Their methods targeted and precise. Their goals unclear. As attacks escalate and loyalties fracture, Stretch finds himself pushed beyond protocol, beyond rank, and beyond certainty as he tries to protect all that matters to him. Warning: Some gore, violence and the occasional swear word. Updates on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays. Cover art from gt39 on Pixabay
