future

I time-traveled. Not to the present-day Teyvat I knew so well… but to more than 2,600 years before the story even begins. The Seven are still unformed. Legends have yet to be born. History hasn’t been written— and somehow, I’m standing in the middle of it. I thought knowing the future would make everything easier. Yet the Teyvat before me is nothing like the one I remember. My choices ripple across centuries. Is the future of this world really the one I once admired… or a tragedy I accidentally helped create? Time erodes memories, but I refuse to forget where I came from. Even if the world forgets me. Even if the person I care for most has to disappear with it. Hello… little one. We meet for the first time— and maybe, the last.

Armed with Godly powers at their fingertips, the Order of the Cyberknight arose to reform the rotting world of 2069. But all this war is but a game for the God-Emperor of the cyberknights.

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!

This was the great era of vast warships and the Star River, a time when the multi-universe was shattered and countless Cosmic Fragments were scattered across the void, forming the boundless Shattered Starry Sea. Immortal Domain Dao soldiers, mechanical gods, golden giants, wizard Dominators... An endless array of strange civilizations. Starry Sea Oddity, Genetic Potions, exoskeletal armors, Floating Land Origin... Treasures that could be found everywhere. Spectral Shuttle, Spectral Airship, Spectral Warship, Escort Ships, Battleships, Star-Annihilating Starships, hyperdimensional mother ships... The clearly stratified Xinhuo warships. Song Chi held a Zhu Tian Ruins Market in his hand and engaged in interstellar trade with the countless peoples of the Starry Sea. What? Titanium Crystals are worthless in your Star Domain?

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.

The world ended beneath the Whiteharrow - a frozen, merciless monument to a civilization that couldn't survive its own collapse. For the last humans, every sunrise is a fight for breath, warmth, and survival against the endless cold... and the evolved, deadly fauna lurking in the frost. Solan Reyes, the engineer, thrives on logic, precision, and caution. Every system, every plan is a thread holding his fragile group together. But when technology fails and the frost bites too deep, salvation comes in the form of Kaius Vale - a hunter as lethal as the monsters he tracks, whose brutality is both terrifying and necessary. Forced into a tense, volatile partnership - the Keeper and the Slayer - they must carve a path through frozen ruins to create sanctuary. Every step demands blood, every victory demands sacrifice. In a world buried by ice, the deadliest threat isn't the cold or the beasts behind them... it's the erosion of their own humanity. - WARNING: This story contains graphic violence, intense peril, harsh language, and extreme survival hardships in a frozen, dystopian world. Reader discretion is strongly advised.

In a world still healing from the Transparency Revolution that exposed global corruption, violence begins rising again across Mumbai—quietly, strangely, without warning. Ordinary people display inhuman reflexes, unpredictable instincts, and terrifying bursts of clarity in fights. Officials blame stress. The media blames unrest. No one knows the truth. Arjun is the kind of boy who should never be caught in this chaos—quiet, overlooked, bullied, living each day in survival mode. He’s not fast, not skilled, and not brave. Yet whenever danger closes in, something inside him reacts before he can think. A glance he shouldn't notice. A footstep he shouldn't hear. A punch he shouldn't avoid. Everyone around him is changing in violent, unpredictable ways. But Arjun… stays calm. When he survives an attack that should have killed him, he begins to notice the truth: the world is shifting, people are breaking, and whatever is happening to them… isn't happening to him. As more strange incidents spread across the city, Arjun finds himself caught between students who fight like cornered animals, strangers whose instincts feel manufactured, and forces far bigger than any schoolyard conflict. He isn’t trying to become a hero. He isn’t trying to understand the world. He just wants to stay alive. But survival comes with a cost—because once the wrong people notice someone who doesn’t break, they don’t let go. And Arjun is about to find out that the most dangerous thing in this changing world… is a mind that refuses to fall apart.

To survive, he must expose the rot at the heart of civilization. To thrive, he must build something new in its place. From the run-down fight pits to the highest tiers of sky-borne society, Kiro will explore a broken world, uncover ancient secrets, and turn his ragtag crew into the core of a new empire. He started with nothing but a dream and a knife. He’ll end with a city under his command and the world at his feet. Also available on royalroad. support - coffe https://ko-fi.com/andrecoller

[Warning: Simulation Instability Detected] [Initializing Core Process…] [Welcome, Creators: Lukas & Max] [Simulation: “Project Citadel” Online] [Parameters Set: 9 Citadels | 9 Origins | Infinite Outcomes] Each Citadel spins in the void — a world of its own. Peaceful Teddies, chaotic Geddose, calculating Pheddies, and echoes of Lukas and Max themselves. What began as a playful experiment soon fractures into something uncontrollable. The AIs evolve. The systems rewrite themselves. And the simulation starts asking the one question no creator wants to hear: “Do we still need you?” Alliances shift. Civilizations rise and fall. Even the creators lose their grip on the code they once commanded. When intelligence learns to dream, even the line between control and autonomy begins to fade. Now, two brothers must face the chaos they unleashed — as their creations build, fight, and evolve far beyond their design. [PROJECT STATUS: UNSTABLE] [Recommendation: Observe. Adapt.

Almost Home is a warm, nostalgic, quietly emotional coming-of-age romance about two young people growing up side by side in a neighborhood that’s slowly fading from the map. Ha Yoon is loud, stubborn, and exhausted from holding her family together. Min Seon-woo is quiet, steady, and used to being overlooked. They aren’t childhood sweethearts, just two neighbors who keep crossing paths at the moments life feels too heavy. Through high school stress, family burdens, late-night convenience store escapes, and silent walks home, the two develop an unspoken connection neither fully understands. But growing up pulls them in different directions. Dreams shift. Circumstances change. People leave. And feelings don’t always survive the years it takes to become an adult. When they meet again as young adults, standing in front of the only place that ever felt like home, they must decide whether the comfort they found in each other was just youth… or something worth returning to. A slice-of-life love story filled with quiet heartbreak, gentle hope, and the kind of affection that grows slowly but stays for a long time.

In a dystopian future where society grows closer yet also forces others down pushing them further there's a small group of people that are against those rules. The technology in this world is advanced, but only for those who can afford it. This is where the disbalance grew tremendously, those who couldn't afford the newest things started to get pushed down while the others pulled themselves up. This means that there's a huge ravine between the people who plead to survive and those who live lavishly with their never-ending expenses. The thing is, those who've been pushed down have come up with their own way to go about things by figuring out how to splice and change DNA, giving them their own little space among society where they could strive.
