future

The future has given humanity a second life—but only by erasing the first. Rion’s mother is dying, and the hospital has become his second home. While balancing work and worry, he crosses paths with Risa, a high school friend he never expected to see again. Now a nurse, she becomes his anchor through the long nights and difficult conversations. The more time they spend together, the more Rion senses something strangely comforting in her presence—something he can’t quite explain. As his mother approaches a choice that could separate them forever, Rion must face the questions he has tried to avoid: What makes a person who they are? And when everything is stripped away, what survives? "We Who Meet Again" is a quiet, emotional story about loss, rediscovery, and the mysterious ways two people can find each other again.

Humanity reached for the stars, etching an age of glory and might unprecedented. We built machines that could stand against the fury of tornadoes and volcanoes. We forged ships that could twist the very fabric of space. Through science and genetic manipulation, we created warriors who could descend from the sky like angels. But the more we learned from our galaxy, the more we realized the dangers that awaited us. Artificial intelligences in humanoid bodies, capable of freezing entire worlds in dark crystal. The living dead, consumed by fungus that spread faster than any virus, dooming billions in mere days. Horrible mutations that sought to end all life, bringing eternal silence and darkness. Corrupted entities that traded honor and pride for power and bliss. Sylar was born long after the Golden Age of Humanity, in a peaceful world, forgotten by mankind and its enemies alike. But fate had other plans for him. His destiny was not one of peace, but of war, a glorious purpose that would take everything he held dear, and drive him to face the horrors of the galaxy… and to control them. ---- Piloting an eighty-meter-tall killing machine against one of the giants of the Thinking Rot — Check.

Arcade Academy trains the heirs of empires, clans, and guilds to become the next generation of heroes. But Michael Willson is different. With memories of this world as a game, he isn’t here to play the protagonist’s role — he’s here to survive, outsmart fate, and carve a place of his own. When every trial twists under his hidden knowledge, rivals begin to whisper his name. Is he ally, enemy… or the greatest threat Arcade has ever seen? Even it means to take the place of the Hero! -------------------- In a world where strength determines destiny, youths across kingdoms and clans dream of entering Arcadia Academy, the greatest institute for hunters, knights, and magi. It is here that the heirs of noble houses, royal bloodlines, and guild legacies gather to hone their talents — and claim supremacy over the future. But for Michael Willson, things are different. Once a nameless outsider with no family or backing, he possesses only one weapon: knowledge. By a twist of fate, Michael has memories of Arcadia not as a student… but as a game. Every trial, every event, every hidden danger — he knows them all. And he intends to use this knowledge not to play the hero, but to survive. Thrown into the brutal Survival Trial, Michael faces monsters, rival cadets, and even death itself. While the world sees a ruthless tactician who outpaces prodigies from the mightiest families, Michael only sees ticking clocks and looming disasters. His choices ripple beyond expectation: saving people he was never meant to, stealing victories meant for others, and twisting the threads of fate that once belonged to Arcadia’s destined protagonists. Now, as the trial ends and the cadets march toward the Academy’s grand halls, alliances begin to form and rivalries sharpen. Leon Lionheart, heir of justice. Selena Veylan, royal shadow. Edric William, the arrogant scion of the strongest family. And countless others. Yet in every glance, every whisper, one truth becomes clearer: Michael Willson is no mere background character. He is the variable, the shadow, the one unseen by fate’s design. Arcadia is about to begin. And Michael will rewrite the story. ----- Tags: #Progression ,#Fantasy, #LitRPG, #GameLit, #Academy, #System, #Swordsmanship, #Adventure #Action #Magic #Dungeon | #Weak-to-Strong #Rivalry #Hidden Identity #Isekai, #Overpowered

I died a heroic, powerful, male Archmage… so why did I wake up as a sixteen-year-old girl?! Theo’s last memory is of a glorious, failed last stand. His next is a beeping hospital machine—and a terrifyingly handsome guy he’s pretty sure is a demon calling him “princess.” Now, he’s Thea Montrose, youngest daughter of a powerful family in a world run on magi-tech and corporate espionage. Between navigating floating cars, enduring his new mom’s hugs, and figuring out the horrifyingly complex mechanics of using the bathroom, Theo has his hands full. But his new family is hiding secrets, and their rivals play for keeps. Good thing this spoiled heiress’s body now holds the soul of an ancient wizard. They wanted the real Thea back? They’re about to get way more than they bargained for. He failed to save his old world from an apocalypse—now he just might save this one (and finally figure out how this bra works).

Sol Mercer suddenly finds himself dropped into the world of Zenless Zone Zero—right onto the "big mine" of Nicole from the Cunning Hares. To avoid being an illegal resident, he has no choice but to join the Cunning Hares. Just as Nicole is about to put him to work serving tea and water, hoping he’ll latch onto a rich benefactor, the system arrives right on schedule. His first reward? A tenfold-enhanced "Yan Shuangying" template. · Ten times the limits of human physique · Mastery of all vehicles · Mastery of all weapons But the most crucial abilities are: · Concept Skill - Bullets of the Eagle: "The Eagle's bullets are without limit—how many I say there are, there are." · Concept Skill - God of Gambling: "I rarely lose, and when I do, it's only one silver dollar." · Concept Skill - Duality of Life and Death: "Life and death, an endless cycle—I live for you, you die for me!" With just this template alone, he can already stand firm in this world. But the system holds even more: Morax, the Blonde Traveler of the Abyss, the Sentient Stellaron—Caelus... Nicole, ever defiant: "One more bet! If I lose, you’ll face the thunder!" Anby, dead serious: "A kiss after battle is common sense—it’s in all the movies!" Ellen, blushing fiercely: "A shark’s teeth… are very sharp, you know?" Belle, emanating dark energy: "As a Proxy, tying you up at home is perfectly reasonable, right?"

The dust thrown into the atmosphere by the impact obscured the sky and plunged the world into an Ice Age that would last for hundreds of years without sunlight. Because of the lack of sunlight, Earth's surface had fallen to extreme cold temperatures down to tens of degrees below zero. Facing impending doom, Chen Xin was left with a shelter that he built underground and an upgrade system he found. How would he survive the crisis? Could human civilization prevail? Would the embers of hope be enough to illuminate the cold night and bring warmth to mankind? Destiny had brought forward a harsh trial. Could human beings avoid sharing the same fate as those of the dinosaurs that were extinct?

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!"

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? I'll take them all, damn it, this is a strategic resource! You call this a chunk of iron? This is Mixed Elemental Copper, the ultimate Enhancement resource! Ordinary ship cannon? Isn't this a golden Star-Annihilating Cannon? Quick... I'll buy it! ... Stretching across the stars, starting from the flame of human civilization.

Beneath the vast and infinite starry skies of the universe, countless tribes engage in endless strife, and the flames of war remain unquenched. Rising from insignificance, he possessed no exceptional talents, except for the ability to draw upon the fruits of cultivation from the future. Yet, in a single night, he understood the Dao, and took a step that shattered the shackles of life. With but a thought, he grasped the universal powers, casually breaking down the barriers between spirit and reality. To him, even the most profound and enigmatic of secret tomes were as simple and dull as children's books. Still, he had to go back and fill in the gaps of his cultivation... Some appeared to be glorious, unparalleled geniuses. In reality, they practiced like mad in the shadows to repay their debts...

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.

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!"

“The new meta made players faster… but it also made them lazy.” Eddie Cruz, known in-game as Drumstickkk, was once a name every veteran in Call of Duty: VR knew — a legend from the pre–neural assist era. But real life caught up: long hours as a Power Generation Engineer, a fiancée working abroad, and burnout made him retire quietly. Years later, Eddie logs back into the game after hearing rumors of a full neural update — and finds his old account still active. Out of curiosity (and nostalgia), he jumps into a ranked match with his classic setup: the “old meta” M4 loadout that carried him to glory. His first opponent? A rookie eSports prodigy with perfect aim assist. “That’s the old meta, old man.” “I prefer the old meta, young blood.” What starts as a comeback match turns into a war of philosophies — skill versus system, instinct versus algorithm. As Eddie grinds through tournaments, outplays neural-linked players, and surprises the eSports world, he begins to uncover something deeper inside the VR network — echoes of his fiancée’s old data profile, long after she supposedly logged off for good. In a digital battlefield ruled by upgrades, one man fights with memory, mastery, and a little bit of muscle memory. — A story of skill, legacy, and love in the age of neural gaming.

Trapped on a desolate planet light-years from Earth, astronaut William Parkerson is the last survivor of a failed mission beyond the solar system. With no hope of rescue and no one left to speak to, he endures by consuming alien sustenance and carving shelter from the gravelly soil. As the stars drift silently overhead, William begins to question not just his isolation—but the nature of reality itself. Haunted by memories of Earth and surreal dreams that defy logic, William’s consciousness slips between waking and dreaming, between existence and abstraction. In sleep, he bends galaxies, walks through dimensions, and glimpses truths too vast for language. In waking, he confronts silence, starvation, and the slow unraveling of identity. Is he truly alive, or merely a fragment of thought in a collapsing narrative? WDMR&WRMD is a cosmic meditation on loneliness, survival, and the metaphysical boundaries between dream and reality. Blending science fiction with existential horror, it invites readers to question the very fabric of perception—and what it means to exist when all else is gone

'Why' does one strive to attain power? For what reason does one endure various rigorous trainings, endure the bruises and the batterings, and go ahead to drill their soul and body into perfect shape just to become stronger? Those ridiculously overpowered, god-like monsters that walked the Earth knew, because they never stopped training. But I didn't know the reason. Why, one might ask? The answer was quite simple, really. I had no desire to 'know' the reason, and I had no drive to discover the 'why.' It was because my circumstances gave me no reason to become stronger. And stupidly enough, I greatly believed that I was strong enough to fend for myself. But boy was I wrong. Fate punched me in the guts, and proceeded to give me very, very good reasons to abandon my narrowed mentality and strive to become stronger than I thought I was. And those reasons multiplied by the day. As I ventured out of the dreary slum-like backlands that I grew up in — diving head first into the wider world overrun by monstrous aliens, insanely advanced technology, and humans with supernatural powers — the initial 'why' had grown to become quite... numerous. So come. Come read my story. And see how I crawled out of the depths of the dejected Island called the backlands as a nameless underachiever, and grew to become a.. tether to the entire universe. Come read how I came to be called... The Twilight of the Vast Expanses.

40k word count before lock. Jack regarded himself as the greatest failure in the world; a broke unemployed law student who does nothing but laze around all day. This was until he was chosen by the Urban System. [Urban System Activated.] With its activation, the system elevated him beyond ordinary, gifting him the kind of video-game skills only protagonists possessed… and exposing the world’s real, long-buried truth.

Moreover, with the activation of the system, he had inherited the fate of the previous user who live the truth of the world all his life. Now Jack must confront that destiny, facing the dangers of a world far more fantastical… and far more perilous… than he ever imagined.
