future

What does it mean to be human? In the far distant future where all life has seemingly perished, an astral meteor collides into the remnants of a giant mechanized disc located underground in an isolated ghost town. From the disc, a single entity awakens within cryostasis with only one clear path: "I must kill the Lords of METIS." She wields a blade surging with the life force of an ancient named Alfaic, whom she denounces upon first contact. She is an unnamed warrior, who is affectionately nicknamed Lyn (LYNBG52) by her comrades from a single mysterious code name tattooed on her left arm. Grotesque aggressive creatures known as the Rots are composed of a combination of rotting entities that roam the lands. Seeking to devour all life they come across, their relationship with the denizens of METIS and the apocalypse resembles more than just their sustenance, but a secret that Lyn must discover for herself if she is to save humanity or watch it perish.

I've uploaded this to Royal Road as well. No system or anything. Just improving implants and growing experience. Chapters range from 1000-1500 words.  Honest reviews are appreciated. I need at least 10 for the rating to show. I finish a chapter like once or twice per week, but I am a student so the schedule might not be as solid as I'd want it to be.

Roland arrived in the world of Cyberpunk in 2066 — and awakened the PROJECT System. From that moment on, another giant began to quietly rise within the neon sprawl of Night City. Years later, Roland sat by the window, a small mechanical spider with a mantis-shaped head resting in his palm, a pet lizard curled in his arms. The world outside was still dazzling, the city still alive — yet somewhere along the way, something had quietly shifted. During an interview, when someone brought up the Arasaka Corporation, they casually asked: “Arasaka Tower? There’s no such building in Night City — at least, not below…” The man slowly lifted his head, his eyes reflecting the city skyline — and behind him, a massive inverted triangle blazed with the blinding white PROJECT logo.

My name is Victor, a corporate drone who just lost his job. I got transported to another world with a "System." By all logic, I should be crushing zombies, defeating villains, and reaching the peak of life. But reality hit me hard. My System’s Host is a Shiba Inu. And me? I am its Battle Pet. The dog’s name is Shadow. He is arrogant, sharp-tongued, and a picky eater. He looks at zombies like they are trash, and he looks at me exactly the same way. Shadow: "Foolish human, there is danger ahead. Go scout the path." Victor: "...I really want a Tomahawk steak."

Ask the System—it just pays way too well!

A cosmic court has condemned humanity. Seven immortal witnesses return to the dawn of civilization to prove — or disprove — its worth. Most fall. Power twists them into tyrants, idols, and architects of sterile utopias. Only one chooses another path. Across centuries, Enki walks among mortals unseen, planting knowledge instead of monuments, nurturing fragile lives instead of controlling them. He learns that meaning is not found in eternal empires, but in fleeting acts of grace — a hand lifted from mud, a garden built from flood-ruins, a child taught to listen to water. His defense is not glory. It is tenderness. It is persistence. It is humanity’s quiet refusal to stop loving, even knowing all things end. A mythic tale about time, loss, and choosing to build anyway. [Beneath the myth and the science fiction lies a simple, stubborn claim: this is not just a story. Enki was born in 2850 BC and has been carrying the memory ever since. The names are changed, the years shifted, the moons given new orbits, yet the resurrection happened, the desert temptation was real, the stone rolled away, and the Judge has been reigning ever since. Everything else — the Scrapbook, the 0.3%, the blind spot in the machine — is simply the record of those who kept looking up while the world looked down. Most have forgotten there is a sky vaster than any mind can hold, that Earth is a gift, not a possession, that God drew no borders and the birds still fly free without passports. Read it as fiction if you like. Some books are written so the truth can reach the few who still have ears to hear. This is one of them.] 2025 Mark Casa Nova (Original) You may share, translate, adapt, illustrate, animate, film, or perform this work freely — even commercially — on one unbreakable condition: Do not change the lesson. The resurrection happened. The stone was rolled away. Grace is real, borders are not, and the birds still fly free. Everything else — style, medium, language — is yours to play with. The core is not. That’s all I ask. [Mark K. Carlos]

"Dr. Chen, every hour you steal doesn't simply vanish. Everything is rewritten by it. Disgraced temporal physicist Dr. Elara Chen's pioneering work was pilfered by her mentor and utilized to build an immortality empire for the wealthy. She now works in the hospital room of a dying sister and witnesses twenty-two-year-old Mira's decline due to a temporal illness that physically removes her from the timeline—a condition that the wealthy refuse to treat because it exclusively affects the underprivileged. Elara, feeling misled and desperate, breaks into her former lab and turns on the Chronos Extraction Engine, the one gadget they claimed would never function. It doesn't pilfer wealth or authority. It takes hours, days, and even years away from people's futures in order to offer them to someone else. It takes her an hour to save her sister. Only one. However, reality breaks down as soon as that hour passes. A stranger who was meant to perish in an automobile accident the following year unexpectedly survives today and kills three people. There is no longer a child who would have been born. Elara also learns the terrifying reality that every hour she spends has a cascading effect that drastically alters the planet. Even worse, Agent Kade Ashford, the TRA's most brutal time enforcer—a man with ice in his veins and a sad background that made him vow to stop anybody who manipulates time—is now pursuing her. He ought to take her into custody right away. Rather, he makes her an unfeasible offer: if she assists him in preventing the actual criminals from utilizing her pilfered research to wipe out entire communities, he will provide her with the one item she most needs. His own prospects. Elara discovers a top-down scheme as she steals more hours to keep Mira alive: the Chronos Corporation created the temporal sickness to take advantage of the impoverished's remaining time for the wealthy. In addition to stealing her findings, her tutor used it as a weapon to carry out genocide for financial gain. Elara now has to decide whether to save Mira and watch the world burn or let her sister die and protect reality. However, Kade won't share with her the third alternative, which calls for the greatest sacrifice and would alter their understanding of time, love, and what it is to really live. The time is running out. The world is falling apart. And tomorrow is getting closer to never happening at all with each hour she steals.

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.
