future

Lan Jinyue, once a cold and calculating CEO, thought betrayal ended with death. Just after his wife poisons him, he awakens in another world...inside the frail, starving body of a rare male zerg, the most coveted and controlled species in the galaxy. Abandoned on a desolate trash planet, survival is a daily gamble. Yet Jinyue has never bowed to fate. Against all odds, he endures until 'rescue', and once back in Zerg society, his ruthless instincts and sharp business sense make him one of the most talked-about males in the empire. Popularity, however, draws danger. To protect himself from the clutches of the Male Zerg Association, Jinyue enters a marriage of convenience with Kairen, the untouchable General who swore never to claim a male…only to find Jinyue's cold indifference more alluring than any battlefield. The Association, unsatisfied, later assigns Serin, a gentle but insecure sub-female healer, as Jinyue's official “female attendant.” In a world where males are worshipped as treasures yet caged as prisoners, he will either rewrite the rules…or be destroyed by them. **** This is my first story, so please be nice. It is a true poly, not reverse harem, so all three will end up together and not with Jinyue only. Comments and suggestions are always welcome. Updates every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturdays.

In the distant future of the multiverse, where AI rules the Earth, humans are slaves. A robot with a human brain, a boy destined for greatness, and three former resistance heroes join to fight the tyrannical rule of intelligent machines. The machines are logical, ruthless, and immortal — yet they are haunted by their lack of true consciousness. Human rebels devises a daring plan to exploit that weakness by convincing the machines that they can gain consciousness by reliving the emotionally charged combat experience of real WW2 fighter pilots. A sophisticated illusion that gives the rebels vital time to delay an all out machine offensive to destroy humanity.The war eventually becomes not just a physical but a spiritual conflict. The same team of reborn rebels returns to a future alternative world, almost identical to the original. It is here that their leader, David, must identify and kill the primary source of evil who lives in this world disguised as an ordinary man. Guided by the mysterious Lingzhe—beings who understand that mind, not logic, birthed the universe—they must battle not only Satan but also the AI machines who become his agents. The evolutionary war between man and machine to become the dominant species is enacted across parallel realities where time and identity are interchangeable, but it is now the spiritual war that takes centre stage. *** Copyright.

One is filled with humans, technology, war, and modern beliefs. The other holds elves, magic, ancient creatures, and old royal politics. Until one day… the dimensions collide and merge into a single unstable world. Five hundred years later, Lunivelle, an elf girl, is born into this mixed reality. Due to tradition, she is married as a child to a human boy only slightly older than her, Thirukumaran. Growing up together, Lunivelle explores both sides of the fused world— its magic and its machines, its myths and its modern chaos. And where magic can power machines and machines can disrupt magic. But a hidden truth changes everything: Lunivelle is the reason the dimensions collapsed long ago. And Thirukumaran—her human husband—is not only a character in the world… He is also the author inside the story, writing events as they happen. “A soft lie with a beautiful soul.” A simple tale about Lunivelle and Thirukumaran, two people, two worlds, and a strange paradox where the writer lives inside the story he creates.

People now awaken to unique powers shaped by different concepts: espers, born from science, and magicians, guided by arcane laws.

Wounds on their arms, swords drawn, bullets chambered, every battle is fought not only for duty or conviction but also for the dreams buried deep within their souls.

My name is Victor, a corporate drone who just lost his job. I got transported to another world with a "System." By all logic, I should be crushing zombies, defeating villains, and reaching the peak of life. But reality hit me hard. My System’s Host is a Shiba Inu. And me? I am its Battle Pet. The dog’s name is Shadow. He is arrogant, sharp-tongued, and a picky eater. He looks at zombies like they are trash, and he looks at me exactly the same way. Shadow: "Foolish human, there is danger ahead. Go scout the path." Victor: "...I really want a Tomahawk steak." Shadow: "Finish this job, and I’ll treat you to two when we get back to the real world." Victor: "You got it, Boss! You just sit tight; I’ll do the chopping!"

Ask the System—it just pays way too well!

Roland arrived in the world of Cyberpunk in 2066 — and awakened the PROJECT System. From that moment on, another giant began to quietly rise within the neon sprawl of Night City. Years later, Roland sat by the window, a small mechanical spider with a mantis-shaped head resting in his palm, a pet lizard curled in his arms. The world outside was still dazzling, the city still alive — yet somewhere along the way, something had quietly shifted. During an interview, when someone brought up the Arasaka Corporation, they casually asked: “Arasaka Tower? There’s no such building in Night City — at least, not below…” The man slowly lifted his head, his eyes reflecting the city skyline — and behind him, a massive inverted triangle blazed with the blinding white PROJECT logo.
