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.

The Wheel of Time which should have turned at the end — didn't. The prophecy broke with it. The broken future is all there is now. Anish woke up in what's left of it. In an unknown body. Someone murdered him — or her? The reflection of a knife shows a face that isn't his. Now he's wearing her face, her life, and everything that came with it. He tries to become her. He tries to find a way back. Whether he can do both — that's another story.

The Setup Elena Thorne is a woman with a legacy to save. Her family’s textile business is on the brink of collapse, threatening the livelihoods of hundreds of workers. Julian Vane is a billionaire with a cold reputation and a ticking clock; his grandfather’s will demands he marry by his thirty-fifth birthday or lose his position as Chairman of Vane Holdings. ​The Deal The two strike a cold, calculated bargain: a one-year contract marriage. Julian provides the five-million-dollar bailout Elena needs, and in exchange, Elena plays the role of the devoted wife to secure Julian's inheritance. The rules are strict: separate rooms, no real romance, and a clean divorce after 365 days. ​The Conflict As they move into Julian’s hollow, glass-and-steel penthouse, the line between acting and reality begins to blur. Their first public appearance at a high-stakes gala proves they are a powerful team, successfully fooling Julian’s suspicious grandfather. However, Elena begins to see the lonely, guarded man behind Julian’s "Ice King" persona, while Julian finds himself drawn to Elena’s genuine heart and fierce loyalty. ​The Stakes While they are partners in a "business transaction," the outside world is watching. With prying reporters, a skeptical family, and their own growing chemistry, the two must decide if they are just playing parts in a play—or if the only thing more dangerous than losing their companies is losing their hearts.

In the year 2247, the world as humanity once knew it has crumbled into the remnants of a fallen civilization. Beneath a rotting atmosphere and relentless storms of toxic dust that devour all life, the last refuge of humankind lies sealed within colossal glass domes known as the Seven Biotope Enclaves, controlled by the central government. But a buried truth is about to be exposed. When the most perfect bioweapon ever created escapes from a hellish research facility, the ironclad order of the domes begins to fracture. This is not merely an escape. It is the beginning of a world-shaking infiltration. A worthless scavenger boy is forced to join forces with an immortal weapon as they venture into the heart of a hidden power, confronting genetically engineered killers and uncovering secrets long buried beneath silence. The single key that will decide the fate of the world may lie within someone’s final breath. When the government sees you as nothing more than a test subject, rising up is no longer a choice. It is the only way to survive.

After being separated from his family, Vincent Noir grows up and masters his three meta powers and becomes a vigilante in society. With his dislike for heroes, he notices corruption within the hero government and makes way to flush it out slowly.

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!"

The empire encompassed endless twinkling stars, but in this dark and terrifying distant future, there were only endless wars. ...... Gu Hang became the governor of a wasteland planet, where previous governors had all been executed for failing to deliver the tithe on time. Monsters and Low Energy Storms rampaged, survivor factions schemed against each other, technological regression, low productivity, the resurgence of Evil Gods, Green Skin Orcs taking root and sprouting... "Don't panic just yet, let me check the panel below." [Military Tokens], [Heroes], [Technology], [Events]... Starting as the planetary governor, he would build fleets that traversed the Star Sea, suppressing all alien forms, heretics, traitors, and demons of chaos! Although I formed battle groups on my own, funded Battle Nuns, diverted the imperial tax, and disregarded deployment orders... I knew I was fiercely loyal! Traitors? This is clearly the Third Empire!

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.

A new work from the author of 'My Senior Brother is Too Steady', welcome to enjoy it! ------------------ In the instant the Earth exploded, the fear of death finally transformed into physical torment, the agony of being scorched seared into the deepest recesses of Yang Ming's memory. "The universe is the abyss." Yang Ming murmured softly among the stars. [PS: Not a game narrative; early game settings will have a complete logical explanation later in the plot. Starting anew on a different track, this isn't in the style of previous works so don't promote it in the old way, treat me as a newcomer. Just entering the domain of interstellar sci-fi, corrections on details are welcome. ]

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.
