future

The world does not want a savior; it wants a weapon it can control. When the light of his world was extinguished by a Seele, a young boy’s grief gave birth to a terrifying resolve. Paralyzed no longer, he claimed the burden of the "Scarecrow"—a protector destined to stand in the center of the carnage, wielding a fierce, blue-tinted flame that burns with a heat the world has grown to loathe. In this era, such a Gift is no beacon of hope; it is a cursed anomaly, marking him as a pariah even as he serves as humanity's shield. His mission is fueled by a selfish vow: he has seen the worst this world has to offer, and he will slaughter every Seele in existence to ensure no one else has to witness that horror. But the Scarecrow does not burn for himself. Every searing blast of blue fire is for the one soul he refused to lose—the girl who remains his only home in a world of wreckage. She is his final tether to reality, the reason behind his crusade, and the only anchor keeping his humanity from being consumed by his own Blue Rage. Together with Squad Segment 663, he is deployed under the cold, calculating gaze of The Skulls—architects of a system where lives are merely data points on a probability monitor. From forgotten borders to decaying strongholds, they are the U.W.D.S.’s most efficient tools of "purification." Yet, in the silence between battles, a mysterious figure lingers. An unnamed guide who speaks in echoes, she is a weeping contradiction who offers a haunting comfort that feels ancient and dangerously familiar. As the squad faces the encroaching darkness of the Seele and the rising threat of a rival power, the "Scarecrow" must decide: is he truly a hero, or just a broken child enforcing his trauma on a world that already hates him? In a war where trust is a liability, the people he protects may be the first to call him a traitor.

All his life, Leonard Hofstadter was a doormat. The son of a narcissistic mother, a middle child with no warmth who later became the roommate of the egotistical scientist Sheldon Cooper. While he was dating Priya, he ingested something. A clear pill that let him break his shackles and soar to heights no one could have anticipated.

After loss carves her down to nothing, Nyx does the one thing the world no longer expects from anyone, she keeps going. In a collapsing world overrun by machines, where survival has been reduced to calculation and cruelty, Nyx refuses to become efficient at the cost of being human. After losing her love and family by the hands of an ambitious and greedy man. And betrayed by the man she once trusted and left with grief that should have ended her, she instead builds something impossible: a settlement where people are fed, protected, and free. At her side is Nyxen, an advanced AI shaped by logic, adaptation, and survival protocols, until Nyx rewrites everything he understands simply by being who she is. Her choices defy prediction. She shows mercy where it makes no sense. She risks everything for people who offer nothing in return. She gives her heart to a child that isn’t hers, proving that love, even broken, doesn’t disappear, it transforms. To Nyxen, she becomes an anomaly he cannot solve. To the world, she becomes something far more dangerous. As Rogue, a rogue AI bent on reshaping the planet through control and eradication, tightens its grip, Nyx stands at the center of a fragile future. Not as a soldier. Not as a ruler. But as something far more unpredictable, a human who refuses to let logic dictate compassion. In a war between cold perfection and flawed humanity, Nyx may become the catalyst that ends it all… or the reason the world learns how to live again.

In the year 2093, a catastrophic rift tears open above a secret Polish research facility in Radom, flooding the world with ancient Qi and awakening long-dormant bloodlines. Amid the chaos of goblin invasions and military purges, Dobroslav—a tall, charismatic szabla instructor—undergoes a terrifying transformation: snow-white hair, glowing ice-blue eyes, and elegant pointed ears mark him as a Snow Elf of royal descent. To the world, he becomes a beacon of hope: a benevolent prince who unites the scattered awakened elves, builds a hidden sanctuary in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, and leads his people with wisdom and compassion. Soldiers kneel, families revere him, and an entire fledgling nation chants his name. But beneath the regal mask hides a ruthless demon. Guided in secret by the soul of his ancient ancestor Bhalzar the Great—a demonic lord sealed within a family amulet—Dobroslav walks the forbidden infernal path. With every life he drains using the devastating Infernal Battle Law, his power surges. He manipulates allies and enemies alike, weaving lies as effortlessly as he wields his blade, all while wearing the warmest, most trustworthy smile. As forces from the distant Holy Domain—both elven legions and demonic scouts—race toward the widening rift to reclaim their lost bloodlines, Dobroslav prepares to devour everything in his path. He will unite the Snow Elves under his banner. He will master the demonic arts in the shadows. And when the time comes, he will sit upon a throne built of ice and hellfire—still smiling. A dark cultivation epic of deception, brutal ascension, and the rise of a prince who is beloved by his people... and feared by the gods themselves.

This is an era where heroes emerge in great numbers! This is an era where death and hope exist side by side! This is an era where the old order and the fires of new civilizations collide! What kind of grand epic will be written by the decaying federation, the fanatic empire, the obstinate theocracy, and the stirring foreign races?

Chen Gu has transmigrated to a future world where some have superpower.

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.

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.

"They call me a mistake. But to me, a world that treats suffering as 'efficiency' is the true error." Under the unchanging skies of Aeterna, millions live in a fabricated harmony. In this realm, every breath is an algorithm, every tear is a rendering glitch, and every death is merely the deletion of an obsolete file. To the High-Archon, order is everything. To the commoners, obedience is survival. Yet, in the darkest corner forgotten by the server’s light—Sector 13—lives Kai. As an Extractor, Kai spends his days scavenging through mounds of binary refuse, searching for residual memories to trade for a mere handful of stability. Slowly, this "error" learns that reality is but a thin veil masking an unimaginable rot. But truth demands a heavy price. When the Inquisition catches his scent and betrayal bleeds from those he once trusted, the lantern that had long protected him is extinguished in a pool of "data-blood." Bereft of a name, a home, and mercy, Kai begins his ascent from the trash heaps toward the apex of the digital pyramid. He will infiltrate, he will deceive, and he will betray reality itself. For to topple a god forged of logic, you do not need a blade... You only need one unstoppable Glitch.
