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.

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.

Li Tang was reborn on the eve of the new millennium. He knew the trajectory of the mining market over the next twenty years, had the coordinates of every newly discovered supermine, and understood the intricate details of century-defining mergers between mining giants.

A group from the East kept working miracles—discovering deeply buried, shockingly rich mineral deposits again and again. From scorching deserts, frozen Arctic lands, and uninhabited primeval forests, they extracted tons of ore. Fully loaded cargo ships, the industrial lifeline, thundered across the seas toward the East.

Disclaimer: Do not read my other book "Survival to Godhood" as this story is a rewrite of that adventure. ---------------------------- Summary: When one God tries to fight back, his goal actually dooms his planet to war and destruction. Now the inhabitants can only survive and learn to use mana. If one cultivates and survives long enough, they might be able to take back the planet. If they survive longer maybe the solar system. If they can become a god maybe the whole universe. ---------------------------- “To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche ---------------------------- This quote is what inspired me to write a cultivation novel not about being the strongest or most talented. It's about the sacrifice people around you make, and the hardships people live through.

In a future where Earth has been devastated by an alien invasion, humanity’s survival hangs in the balance. Daniel-Lee Viret, a 42-year-old carpenter and visionary tech genius, finds himself at the heart of a clandestine resistance—an effort to reclaim the planet and secure a future for humankind. Once captured and exploited by the extraterrestrial conquerors, Daniel refuses to accept a fate dictated by alien overlords and corrupt elites. Instead, he seizes a mysterious, otherworldly device that appears in his workshop, unlocking latent human potential and granting him access to advanced knowledge from popular sci-fi sources.Empowered by this newfound system and a powerful brain-enhancing elixir called NZT-50, Daniel begins to craft a revolutionary blueprint for technological salvation. His goal is to develop breakthrough innovations—flying cars, teleporters, AI companions, and energy sources capable of harnessing zero-point energy—all designed to prepare Earth for the impending invasion and to resist the oppressive alien regime. But the path is treacherous. The world’s powerful corporations, government agencies, and rogue factions see his advancements as threats, willing to kill or sabotage to maintain control.As Daniel builds his fledgling empire from the ground up, he assembles a team of trusted allies: his brilliant younger brother Jo-ash, a prodigy engineer; Denver, a visionary designer with dreams of futuristic vehicles; and Nikki, a scientist specializing in energy systems. Together, they establish secret bases across South Africa, hidden from prying eyes, functioning as command centers and training facilities. Their efforts are shadowed by enemies—corporate spies, mercenaries, and alien agents—who seek to steal or destroy their innovations.Amidst this chaos, Daniel’s system reveals a darker truth: a covert group of mercenaries and rival corporations working in the shadows, attempting to infiltrate and cripple his operations. The stakes escalate as the alien threat intensifies—strange ships in orbit, energy signatures rising, and strange phenomena signaling an imminent full-scale invasion. Daniel’s drive to innovate is matched by his need for strategic defense, leading to the creation of autonomous robots, secret safe zones, and a covert resistance network prepared to fight from the shadows.Despite the peril, hope persists. Daniel’s vision extends beyond mere survival—he aims to rebuild humanity's resilience and autonomy. His creations, like the friendly yet formidable Baymax robots and advanced VR training grounds, serve as symbols of a new dawn—tools to empower people and push the boundaries of human capability.As the world teeters on the brink of war, Daniel’s ultimate challenge becomes clear: rally humanity, outsmart the alien invaders, and forge a future where hope and innovation prevail over darkness and despair. His journey is one of resilience, ingenuity, and unwavering resolve—a fight not just for survival but for the rebirth of a better world."Shadows of Tomorrow" is a gripping tale of technological revolution, resistance, and the indomitable spirit of humanity in the face of extraterrestrial and corporate tyranny. It explores themes of hope, sacrifice, and the power of human ingenuity—reminding us that even in the darkest times, a second chance can spark the dawn of a new era.

Jiro was just scrolling through some Naruto clips before bed, unaware that every edit was being simultaneously transmitted across all timelines of the Shinobi World. Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't bear to watch the replay of his own life. The Uchiha clan discovered their future of annihilation. Madara Uchiha fell silent as he watched "The Truth of the Infinite Tsukuyomi." Namikaze Minato trembled and wept as he read "The Life of Naruto." Naruto Uzumaki learned to form Rasengan ahead of time. Orochimaru, meanwhile, fell into deep contemplation while watching "The Complete Collection of Failed Immortality Experiments." When Jiro finally edited together his own imagined "Perfect Naruto Ending," the history of the entire Shinobi World veered irrevocably toward an unknown point of divergence.

Time Magazine once gave this review of a man: "Mr. Yang is a great inventor. The products he created changed how hundreds of millions live, work, and travel."

Given a second chance, he would once again rise from nothing, climb to the peak of this era, and build a century-spanning Chinese family empire.

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!"

I have been reborn in France, and luckily, I have the identity of the Crown Prince. The downside is that the current king is Louis XVI, and in two years, he will be guillotined. Since my father and the ministers can’t be trusted, I’ll have to take matters into my own hands and reorganize France myself. First, I’ll make some money, just enough to solve the financial crisis that has plagued the country for centuries. Then, I’ll strike hard at the nobles with ill intentions who seek to usurp power. After that, I’ll seize the vast lands held by the church, which sits idle. Industry, technology, agriculture, and commerce will thrive together. I will be the greatest Crown Prince France has ever seen! Thank you for the support, friends. If you want to read more chapters in advance, go to my Patreon.

A kaiju ate me alive. I felt my ribs go one at a time. Then something in the dark of its gut decided I was not finished. It started my heart with a hand that was not mine, and I walked out of the corpse on my own two feet, the only person who ever has. That was the night she bought the rights to whatever I had become. One screen. One subscriber. The screen is my life, live and uncut. The subscriber is her, and she pays whatever it costs to keep the feed running: every fight, every wound, every hour I lose to the thing growing up the inside of my spine. When I run, the money finds me. When I bleed, the bid climbs. The Defense Force has me filed as a contaminant. The corporations want me as their next headliner. She understood the part both of them missed: the stronger the parasite makes me, the less of me is left. Every night, behind one glowing screen, the woman who calls herself my sponsor watches me turn into the thing that killed me. She has never once looked away.
