future

In the year 3751, humanity no longer rules only Earth. Civilization has spread across planets, dimensions, and galaxies where cultivation, advanced technology, and ancient energies coexist. Powerful warriors capable of destroying cities stand beside futuristic empires powered by spirit technology, while countless species fight for dominance among the stars. At the center of this vast world stands Ling High School, one of humanity’s elite cultivation academies responsible for training future protectors, generals, and dimensional warriors. And within that academy exists Huang Ming. A first-year student ranked at the very bottom. A Trainee Warrior. Born into poverty within Meiying City, Huang struggles simply to survive among monstrous geniuses blessed with overwhelming talent, powerful bloodlines, and advanced cultivation techniques. Compared to students like Luna Ling, a legendary warrior saint candidate, or Kael Riven, the terrifying prodigy of the Elite Division, Huang appears painfully ordinary. Weak. Untalented. Forgettable. But hidden beneath Huang’s unstable body lies something abnormal. Something that should not exist. While others follow structured cultivation systems built upon perfection and balance, Huang’s body evolves through instability, adaptation, and collapse. His cultivation refuses to follow normal laws, causing his energy, meridians, and even existence itself to fluctuate irregularly. Then one night— Huang awakens a mysterious female system named Lyra inside a fractured inner dimension hidden deep within his soul. Together, they begin walking a path never meant to exist. A path capable of breaking the laws of cultivation itself. As humanity faces dimensional invasions, alien civilizations, higher realms, and ancient beings beyond comprehension, Huang slowly discovers that his existence may be connected to something far greater than anyone realises. In a universe ruled by rankings, talent, and perfection— Huang Ming may become the one anomaly capable of surpassing them all.

Ledea Mace is fifteen years old, a salvager working the asteroid belts at the edge of nowhere. Her partner is her younger sister Shutia — except Shutia is twenty-four, handles the guns, and has never once taken her eyes off her big sister for long. When a crew of raiders shows up to take their haul by force, the two of them improvise their way out of it the only way they know how: together. The aftermath is tea, a too-warm couch, and Shutia saying things that sound almost like a joke. Almost.

You think you can understand Chaos? Foolish! Chaos isn't merely disorder; it is the ultimate paradox - Life and death, creation and destruction, the beginning and the end. In a hyper-advanced future built on quantum technology, humanity is awakened by the same energy tearing the universe apart. Entities from a higher dimension invade, forcing humans to the brink of extinction. In the shadows of this broken world, Missio Augustus wanders aimlessly like a lost soul, fighting his own inner darkness. As the Lieutenant General of the Black ops division, he goes on a mission to capture an international kingpin but experiences his life-long trauma once again. While falling into depression, he watches as an ancient church brings mayhem upon humanity... This is a relaunch of my original work. I am moving this story from my previous account (SageofMusic) to this new handle (Ekadash). I am the sole creator of Music Box Mayhem.

In the year 2086, humanity stood at the peak of technological advancement. The world’s greatest nations united under Project Helios—an ambitious experiment created to generate limitless energy by manipulating space and dark matter. But on the night the Helios Reactor was activated for the very first time, the sky above the Pacific Ocean cracked apart like shattered glass. A colossal purple rift opened across the heavens, pulsing like the heartbeat of a wounded world. Then, they came. Creatures from ancient legends. A golden-scaled beast with wings like thunder roared above the sea. Stone giants walked through collapsing cities. Women with raven wings descended alongside black storms. Horned beasts from forgotten myths began roaming the human world. Nuclear weapons were launched. Armies marched. Entire nations burned. Yet the war between modern technology and the world of mythology brought nothing but endless destruction. Until a being calling himself The Ancient One appeared with a proposal: Twelve battles. Twelve representatives. And the fate of two civilizations would be decided within the arena. Arrows against gunpowder. Muscle against steel. Magic against science.

In the future world, high-tech as magical as magic and bizarre events beyond reason prevail, and bloody primitive rituals rampage in the dazzling cyberspace. And the group known as Apprentice Death Gods are the rulers of the world. Using superpowers far beyond the ordinary, Death Gods have brought peace and stability... but at the same time, they have also brought oppression. Mortals can never compete with gods, this was an eternal and unchanging axiom of the world, but the appearance of Yun You changed it all. She looked at the lofty gods, then at the humble mortals, and calmly said... "Come." "I will teach you how to hunt gods." ...

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.

Dreams are… a reality that only those who are capable can speak about. This was an era marked by the births of geniuses! This was an era where heroes could be found everywhere! The fierce conflict between the aristocrats and the civilians, the open and veiled battles between the Federation and the Empire, the restlessly lurking extraterrestrials… When the principles of truth were within the range of battleship cannons, when order had no place in this world… Mu Fan, with the mysterious intelligent life “Black” and his unwavering will, fiercely tore open the magnificent Great Galaxy Era!

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.

The System had been present in every era.The age of the Shadow Plague had Ray Talen, possessor of the Dragon System. The age of the Altered had Gary Dem, possessor of the Werewolf System. And now, in the age of Abilities, Quinn Talen had just awakened the Vampire System that has laid dormant in the Talen family for countless generations. But what if the age of Abilities had...a FOURTH System user? Enter Hikiko Tsukuru, one of the only two survivors of the now-destroyed country of Japan...and also, newfound user of the mysterious Video System. This is an unprecedented opportunity, the chance for TWO System users to work side-by-side. But will the existence of two System users in the same era be of benefit to those who want to protect the world? Or will it be a hinderance?

The world was no longer the same, not after being crippled and devastated by the calamity that was the Third World War. Million deaths, both military and civilian. Countless families were left broken and displaced. Towns were laid to waste, ravaged by bombs and artillery. Multiple cities were wiped off the world’s map by bioengineered weapons and nuclear bombs. Nations weakened, broken, divided. Old empires collapsed, and new ones were born and baptised by the ashes of war. In the wake of the war, international criminal organizations formed, pirate groups powerful enough to control entire regions of the ocean and terrorize even naval forces, and corporations and secret societies took advantage of the fragile new world to further their ambitions. To combat the new world’s threats, various Private Military Companies formed all around the globe, offering their services to any nation with enough capital but not enough military power to deal with the plethora of threats. This gave rise to the new age of PMC and Mercenaries. My Phan, birthed by a human-trafficked mother, raised in captivity, and later rescued by a PMC, but not before witnessing her mother’s death. Adopted by the man who rescued her. My was raised and guided to be a PMC soldier when she became of age. As she stepped into the world of mercenaries, she must become strong and fierce enough to overcome countless threats to the new and fragile peace, to uphold her own sense of justice, and to exact vengeance against the higher forces that have caused so much suffering to her before. Follow My (Maple) Phan as she battles against criminal syndicates, pirate overlords, corporate tyrannies, and monsters lurking within secret societies all around the world. *********************** Crossposting on Webnovel, Royal Road, Scribblehub, and Wattpad.

In a city of towering skyscrapers and neon-lit streets, the skyline tells one story: success belongs to the privileged. But for Kairo Allen, born in the struggling South District, the towers are a challenge, a constant reminder of everything he doesn’t have—and everything he intends to take. Armed with grit, intelligence, and an obsession with opportunity, Kairo navigates the gritty streets, hustling online, flipping small deals, and learning the hidden patterns of the city. While most people chase money, he studies systems, strategies, and assets, discovering ways to turn the overlooked neighborhoods and forgotten blocks into gold. As he rises, Kairo will face ruthless rivals, corrupt corporations, and the harsh realities of a city built on inequality. Every step forward comes with a risk, every success attracts envy. But Kairo is determined: he will not just survive the city—he will own it. Rise Above the Skyline is a gripping tale of ambition, strategy, and the relentless pursuit of a dream. It’s a story for anyone who has ever looked at the towers above and decided they belonged somewhere they weren’t meant to be.

Blanca Frostine transmigrated into the very beast-world novel she’d been reading. Great. Fantastic. Even better? This world had a massive problem. In this empire, beastmen suffered from a condition called Hysteria. When their emotions spiked, they lost control and turned into rampaging monsters. When their emotions dipped too low, they reverted into small, helpless beast cubs. Therapy existed, technically, in the form of rare energy stones—but there was a catch. The stones only worked if they were hand-carved into the exact animal form of the beastman. The more realistic the sculpture, the stronger the calming effect. The more lifelike the carving, the more times it could be reused. Which was where Blanca’s luck kicked in. In her previous life, she’d been a legendary sculptor—wealthy, talented, and famously difficult to deal with. Her works were so vivid they felt like they were breathing. People waited months just to beg for a commission, and because she had zero patience for nonsense, the art world had crowned her with a fitting title: The Sculptress. So when Blanca realized she could carve energy stones better than anyone in this world, romance was not her first concern. Powerful beast husbands? Fated mates? Tragic, handsome generals with emotional damage? She waved all of it away. “I’ll date later,” she decided calmly. “After I get rich.” And so, instead of a love story, she opened a shop. A small, suspiciously low-effort store suddenly appeared on the Regional Network, selling palm-sized sculptures carved with terrifying realism. Just looking at the screen was enough to calm raging emotions. The empire lost its mind overnight. Orders flooded in. Nobles panicked. The military took notes. Unfortunately, the shop owner was… Lazy, sharp-tongued, and deeply uninterested in customer satisfaction. “No rush orders.” “No refunds.” “Stop messaging me at 3 a.m.” “And stop flirting in the reviews.” Still, her sculptures sold out within seconds. What Blanca didn’t expect was the growing number of powerful beastmen who began appearing in her life—each claiming they just needed emotional treatment, each lingering a little too long, each staring at her hands like they were something far more dangerous than weapons. After all, in an empire full of beasts who lost control when their emotions ran wild, Blanca Frostine was the only one who could calm them with a touch. And while she kept insisting she wasn’t interested in love— Love, unfortunately, seemed very interested in her. “Screw finding a husband,” Blanca thought, carving another masterpiece. “…Why do they keep lining up anyway?”
