future

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.

[Cyberpunk + Edgerunners Fanfic] Lin Mo still remembers the original tagline of the game: “In 2077, my city was voted the worst place to live in America.” Now, he stands atop a skyscraper, gazing down at the city under the cover of night. In the corporate plazas, flames engulf the towers of various megacorps. Crowds surge below, screams and wails echoing through the chaos. And yet, Lin Mo feels nothing but boredom. Maggots feast on marrow. The innocent are puppeteered as flesh and fuel — expendable kindling for the blaze. This city is rotten to its very core. So no — fire alone isn’t enough. Fire may scatter the darkness, but when it dies out, it cannot bring light. Darkness endures. That’s why he must gather the strength of everyone — and become the eternal daylight that this city so desperately needs! An overwhelming light casts the deepest shadow. That light… is the sun! … Through a simulator, Lin Mo arrives in the world of Cyberpunk. At first, he believes he can carve out a place for himself in Night City. But then— “Lin Mo, about that gig…” “Hey Lin Mo, I just picked up a second-hand ride for my garage, take a look…” “Lin Mo, your name’s all over Night City these days! Why don’t you take a look at this job while you’re at it?” Damn it— I’ve become the biggest sucker in town!

The human race have stood up against the test of time. Surviving and thriving no matter what is thrown at them, in a time where humans have reach the pinnacle of technology. Life has change as they know it and AI has became an integral part of their everyday living. Is this technology a gift or a curse. How will it affect the never ending war of good and evil. Would it help prolong human survival or would it finally bring them to their demise.

Crossing over into the world of Cyberpunk 2077 should be an opportunity to make a big splash... Wait, hold on, isn't this the year 2075? Sure, it's already November, and 2076 is just around the corner, but I only know about what happens in 2077! In this world, you might not want to live, but you can't afford to not have a job. Anyway, let's start by becoming a mercenary and picking up gigs. That sounds simple enough, but getting a job from a fixer only to face off against an ACPA (Armored Combat Personal Assist) right off the bat—aren't we going a bit overboard here? And who's this daughter of Michiko Arasaka? I've only seen the demo; I don't know these people! What kind of chaotic mission is this!? ----------------------- Original: https://www.qid ian.c om/book/1039781004/ Author: Zuo Yun ----------------------- Twitter-> https://x.com/SrMagnusBook ----------------------- Disclaimer: I do not own Cyberpunk 2077 or its universe.

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 a world where power defines worth, and one’s value is measured by their mastery over mana, people believe they have reached the pinnacle… the absolute limit of magic itself. But the truth… lies far beyond. When a being from a forgotten era returns—one who surpassed those limits long ago—the very laws that govern this world begin to fracture. A power that does not belong to this age, and a will that seeks to shatter everything once deemed “absolute.” Amid corrupted cities, mysterious forests, and secrets buried through the ages… a journey begins. A journey not only of ascension… but of understanding existence itself. Is the “limit” everyone believes in truly real… or merely an illusion no one has dared to break? ✨ A story about transcending limits… and redefining the impossible.

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.

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.

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!"

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.

My only path out of this dystopian hell was to Awaken as a super-powered Solar. I failed. Publicly humiliated and with my future in ruins, a new power ignited within me: The Creator System. My memories of a lost world called Earth—its addictive games, its soul-stirring music, its epic stories—are now my greatest weapon. While the Accord demands obedience, I will give the galaxy a cultural revolution. Every viral hit I create generates Resonance, fueling my secret Gacha and letting me pull real-world skills, gear, and powers straight from the media I remake. They thought I was a powerless failure. They have no idea I'm about to become the most powerful media tycoon in the galaxy, one Gacha pull at a time.

Avery Asteria was far from having anyone's dream job. Family circumstances had him drop out of school and flying around the expanse of space looking for treasure among the discarded trash in an old ship his father had been restoring. It was far from glamorous work, but it was all he could do to earn the money he needed. He was not the only one looking for fortune among the stars, though. One day a score that looked too good to be true led to a run in with a band of pirates. With some quick wits and a bit of luck, Avery managed to escape the worst, but he ended up missing out on collecting the valuable salvage he had his sights on. Having lost a large chunk of his gear in his flight from the pirates, Avery seemed to be truly at the end of his rope. However, a twist of fate led him to discovering an experimental vessel that had been lost to the far reaches of space. With this new ship in his possession, his prospects were looking up. It had everything and more than what any spacefarer could want. And Avery was going to use it to become the leader of the greatest band of mercenaries in the galaxy.
