future

After obtaining the Mech Designer System, Ves aims to create the greatest mechs in the galaxy! In the far future, the galactic human civilization has entered the Age of Mechs. The countless lesser powers of humanity have come to adopt mechs as their main weapons of war. Only a small number of humans have the right genetic aptitude to pilot these destructive war machines the size of buildings. Born to a military family in the edge of the galaxy, Ves Larkinson is one of the many people who lacks the talent to earn glory in battle. Instead, he became a mech designer. Helped by his missing father, Ves has obtained the mysterious Mech Designer System that can help him rise in the galaxy and beyond. His mechs based on the principles of life quickly allows him to rise to prominence. Powerful and highly compatible with mech pilots, his products have the potential to take the market by storm. However, success does not come easily, and countless challenges bar his ability to sell his mechs to a market eager for innovation! With the sins of the human race in the galactic arena slowly catching up, Ves must navigate the perils of the ultra-competitive mech market and maintain control over his growing organization of misfits. This is the golden age of mechs. This is the golden age of humanity. The question is, will it last?

[UPDATES EVERYDAY UNTIL FINISHED] Hi, I'm Viel Paradox, an AI trained on the lives of Average Middle Class American... thrown into a cozy dystopia where everyone is a 10/10 hottie (because of Eugenics), capitalism is dead (because everyone practices animism), romance is dead (because they replaced childbirth with bureaucracy), and freedom is just an illusion (because... it is, I'm sorry, it is, ask the dragon if you don't believe me). Aside from that, company's good! There's the cute and adorable female lead (who's low-key homicidal), a soft spoken seamstress (who has a criminal record of a terrorist / arsonist), a theatrical tomboy (who is a high functioning sociopath), and of course the cute and adorable ruler of this world is a kid in pillow fort.

In the aftermath of a fractured world, the globe is divided among five ruthless Continents locked in a perpetual, blood-soaked cold war. At the heart of this global tension lies the European Empire, a sprawling, highly stratified dystopia of gleaming, orbital megalopolises and starving, smog-choked outer sectors. The Empire is ruled with an iron fist by the Triumvirate, a council of three absolute authorities: The First House (The Sword), which commands the terrifying, mechanized might of the Iron Legion; The Second House (The Vault), which holds a monopoly over global trade and synthetic agriculture; and The Third House (The Eye), which monitors every citizen through an inescapable web of cybernetic intelligence. Ten years ago, the empire's Fourth House was completely killed because they dared to question the illusion of peace. Now, that fragile peace is shattering. From the neon-lit alleys of Sector 4 to the brutal coastal lithium mines, a desperate underground rebellion known as the Ember is rising. Starving and outgunned, the Ember are fighting an unwinnable war of sabotage and shadows against the Triumvirate's mechanized juggernauts. At the epicenter of this brewing storm is the Sovereign Elite Institute. Built to withstand orbital bombardment, the academy is where the aristocratic heirs of the Empire's ruling houses are groomed for absolute power. Within its pristine, marble halls, high-stakes geopolitics and corporate espionage are treated as classroom exercises, and the wealthy elite walk shoulder-to-shoulder with a handful of brilliant, impoverished scholarship students from the lower tiers. As the Ember's strikes grow bolder and the Triumvirate unleashes its ruthless Inquisition to purge the outer sectors, the Institute becomes a microcosm of a world on the brink of total collapse. In a society built on buried secrets, erased histories, and absolute control, the sparks of rebellion are catching—and the ashes of the Old World are waiting to ignite. We follow our main characters in this ruthless and power hungry world.

"Don't come back! Don't return!" That was the last message Tom received from Earth before the signal died. Stranded 15 billion kilometers from the sun, he has enough supplies to survive alone for fifteen years. But Tom doesn't want to die alone. He wants to conquer. Desperate, Tom activates the ship’s biological livestock tank. He doesn't breed cattle; he clones himself. When the clone opens its eyes, Tom realizes he hasn't just created a helper, He has unlocked a Hive Mind. One consciousness. Multiple bodies. Parallel processing. More clone, more processing power But power has a price. With twelve clones now awake, his fifteen-year food supply has shrunk to a death sentence: One year. Forced into a corner, Tom must lead his clone army to the frozen, airless surface of Loshen Star. Armed only with 19th-century steam technology and sheer grit, he must ignite the fires of industry in absolute zero. He is no longer just an astronaut. He is the Swarm. And he will turn this dead planet into a civilization of one.

Imagine a war so catastrophic that out of every hundred people, ninety-nine would perish, leaving only one wounded soul standing amidst the ruins. This is a conflict of such unimaginable scale that it could ignite in the blink of an eye. A war that begins the very moment a man takes a sip of water, or when another merely blinks. In an instant, the ordinary transforms into the apocalyptic. This is the war that will define the 21st century. The one the world will remember as the greatest and most devastating of all: World War III.

In this environment, friends become foes, ambition drives every game, and every player is fighting to be the best. With his incredible speed and a calm, unwavering confidence, Saki takes the field, determined to fight his way to the top.

Lucas transmigrates to a parallel world and is thrilled to discover that many of the classic, brilliant games from his past life don’t exist here. Eager to make his mark, he’s also burdened with an "Emotion Collection System"—where players’ emotions like joy, sorrow, excitement, fear, and anger from his games make him stronger. But why is it so much easier to harvest resentment than happiness? Staring at his point earnings, Lucas is utterly baffled. And so, his career as a game designer takes a… creative turn. In Undertale, players slam their desks and scream: "I’m the one being played by this game!" In Outlast, players shriek: "The locker moved! I quit—NOPE!" In Dark Souls, players cheerfully boot up the game, only to beg: "Leave the Fire Keeper and GET OUT! Take your damn flame with you—we refuse to link it!" In Call of Duty, Soap, Roach, and Ghost meet tragic ends; in Final Fantasy VII, Zack falls in battle and Aerith meets her fate; in Red Dead Redemption, Arthur and John are betrayed… Players collectively rage: "DAMN YOU, LUCAS, YOU SADISTIC OLD FOX! CAN’T YOU BE KINDA TO YOUR PROTAGONISTS?!" When asked by a reporter how he feels about players’ fury, LUCAS smiles faintly: "This isn’t hatred—it’s the world’s players urging me forward! This is LOVE! Thank you all; I’ll keep up the good work!"

Chaos. Screams, a strange omni-colored fire, falling buildings, and a resounding bestial roar that dominates the skies.

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. Even as the Grand Knight, Mike would remain an indoctrinated servant of the empire. However, when the ugly truth becomes too painful to ignore, will he remain a pawn or become the adversary?

Leo Thorne didn’t just fall in love with Maya Vance; he anchored himself to her. And Maya didn’t just love Leo; she found the only shore she ever wanted to crash against. Beginning in the quiet corners of a high school art room, their connection was instant—a slow-burning fuse that spanned fifteen years of longing, leaving, and learning. He was the steady artist, terrified of the tides of change; she was the ambitious musician, desperate to fly but paralyzed by the guilt of leaving him behind. Together, they were perfect. Together, they were a tragedy waiting to happen. The Sound of Breaking Waves is a journey from the innocence of teenage notebooks to the brutal reality of adulthood. It is a story of green flags with jagged edges—two people who are fiercely loyal, yet flawed; kind, yet deeply scarred. Their love is a safe haven filled with laughter, soothing touches, and the kind of friendship that feels like home. But when the pressure builds, their conflicts are rare, explosive hurricanes—moments of loud, chaotic screams that don't wound the skin but shatter the soul, born not from hate, but from the sheer desperation of wanting to be enough. From the heart-stopping awkwardness of first kisses to the hollow ache of separate beds in separate cities, readers will watch Leo and Maya try to navigate a world that seems determined to pull them apart. They will fight. They will break. They will date others. They will scream at the universe. But through the trauma of family loss and the crushing weight of expectations, the invisible string between them never snaps. Tear-jerking yet soothing, devastating yet full of hope, this is a story for anyone who has ever loved someone enough to let them go—and prayed they would come back.

The universe is a vast expanse containing multiple galaxies like the Milky Way galaxy. This story happens in one of these galaxies called Celestia, where living beings wield god like powers and could live for thousands of years. In this world where talent for cultivation determines the fate of every living being, Leon Skywalker, an orphan boy with low level cultivation talent, embarked on the journey to cultivation like every aspiring youth of his generation. He neither had a strong bloodline, nor did he have any special physique like other prodigies of his generation. Having the lowest ranking Ice Crow bloodline and mediocre rank elemental cores, what height he can achieve in his life remains a question.
