future

A student with selective memory loss was trapped inside a glass capsule floating in outer space. She discovered that there were 23 other students in the same situation. As she recalls how that happened, a hologram named Author appeared. It announced that they were the 24 chosen players to participate in a survival game with 3 levels, different stages, and distinctive game categories. They must play life-threatening games while gaining their memories with the goal to be the Triumphant and claim the Tri-Prize–the Wealth, Health, and Stealth. What seemed to be a typical survival game hides a truth far more than just surviving.

[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!

When a global anomaly awakens dormant powers within them, a neuroscientist, a physicist, and an artist discover they are connected by a force that defies time itself. Mert sees the memories of strangers. Elena witnesses the fabric of reality crack. Kai paints symbols from a past he never knew. Thrown together by fate, they are not alone. Across the globe, others are awakening too—gifted with extraordinary abilities. But they are not the only ones. A powerful cabal—a ruthless financier, a tech mogul, and a charismatic influencer—sees the anomaly not as a warning, but as a weapon. Their ambition shatters the timeline, scattering the group across history: from the smog-choked streets of Victorian London to a transhumanist future, and into a terrifying parallel present. Broken into three teams, the group must hunt their enemies through time itself. To survive, they must master their new powers and forge bonds of love and loyalty strong enough to bend the laws of physics. Their final battle will not be fought in any single era, but at the crossroads of all realities, where the key to existence—the very heart of time—is at stake.

It is a story that is meaningless and has no cohesive sense. It will be read by [Reader]s. [Reader] is a creature or a non-creature that has been born from [Nothing] and will read this story cause "Why not?". Finding meaning is the action of creature like these is a losing game. This whole story is about these creatures and non-creature that have made this world and will ruin or play with this world that they've created. There would be no reason behind their action so you might ask why read this pointless story. Well, i don't know. Just say "Why not?" and read it. That wouldn't hurt too much i think.

Chen Gu has transmigrated to a future world where some have superpower. They could release nuclear blasts barehanded; manipulate quantum teleportation to achieve instantaneity; exhale particle winds that could melt metal like dragons; and control human thoughts as a hacker does computers... But the first thing Chen needs to deal with is that he somehow has a forty-year-old son. "Are you saying... you are my father?" "No, I am your son."

The dust thrown into the atmosphere by the impact obscured the sky and plunged the world into an Ice Age that would last for hundreds of years without sunlight. Because of the lack of sunlight, Earth's surface had fallen to extreme cold temperatures down to tens of degrees below zero. Facing impending doom, Chen Xin was left with a shelter that he built underground and an upgrade system he found. How would he survive the crisis? Could human civilization prevail? Would the embers of hope be enough to illuminate the cold night and bring warmth to mankind? Destiny had brought forward a harsh trial. Could human beings avoid sharing the same fate as those of the dinosaurs that were extinct?

The black dragon that rose from the depths of the South Sea unleashed an apocalyptic tsunami... Flame demons destroyed city after city made of steel and concrete, calmly departing from the center of nuclear explosions... Alien gods attempted to rule the entire galaxy... This is a future world where human technology is highly advanced. It is also an era that sparked a frenzy of Life Evolution in the Martial Path. Li Yuan, a Martial Path student on the verge of taking his college entrance exams, struggled to advance in this world while harboring the peculiar Divine Palace capable of envisioning the galaxy. Years later. "My current flying speed is 122,682 meters per second, and my power burst is..." Li Yuan flew at extreme speeds through the atmosphere about 180 kilometers above the surface of Blue Star, his cold eyes fixed on the massive creature at the dark void's edge, resembling the mythological dragon: "You, must be the strongest among all the invading Demigod life forms." "It's just unfortunate that I can now be called... Martial God!"

A new work from the author of 'My Senior Brother is Too Steady', welcome to enjoy it! ------------------ In the instant the Earth exploded, the fear of death finally transformed into physical torment, the agony of being scorched seared into the deepest recesses of Yang Ming's memory. "The universe is the abyss." Yang Ming murmured softly among the stars. [PS: Not a game narrative; early game settings will have a complete logical explanation later in the plot. Starting anew on a different track, this isn't in the style of previous works so don't promote it in the old way, treat me as a newcomer. Just entering the domain of interstellar sci-fi, corrections on details are welcome. ]

Li Wei, a Level 2 researcher for the RDA. Eywa chose him. Not because he was a hero, but because he understood—life is not meant to be conquered, but to be lived with. Walking the fault line between two worlds, he grew from a cog in the machine into a planetary being.

Around 20 years before the start of the story, Most of Earth has become uninhabitable wastelands filled with toxic waste and natural disasters. Dr Marek Sokolov becomes the first scientist to open a rift from a weak spot in one of these areas, where reality felt weakened and scarred. From that day, everything changed. The corporation invested, Governments took control, and institutions were built around these rifts. Those who entered and returned from such rifts became powerful and a threat. Causing mass conflicts and regulations to be imposed. We follow the trials and tribulations of Caelum Ward, a part of the post-rift-born generation, as he navigates a world straining at its last legs, as the leaders repeat Earth's mistakes in the new planar realms, and others try to build something new.

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.

In a near-future city where machines can listen to human memories, Liam works deep underground as a silent observer. His job is to monitor The Listener, a technology designed to read emotions buried inside the human mind. Liam never asks whose memories he hears. Until the machine speaks to him. One night, The Listener offers him something impossible,the voice of the girl he lost. A voice that knows his name. A voice that should not exist. As Liam returns to the machine again and again, the line between memory and reality begins to blur. The Listener no longer just listens. It remembers. It answers. And it wants something in return. Trapped between grief and technology, Liam must face a terrifying question: Is the machine using his memories… or is it becoming one?

After a devastating crash that should have ended his life, Pondaru Yamada wakes up in a body that isn’t fully his own—an unnervingly perfect shell branded with the mark of Project N4O-CHI, a blacksite program that erases humans and rebuilds them as living pleasure dolls. But Pondaru isn’t like the others. He bleeds. He hurts. He remembers things automaton like him shouldn't be capable of. Stripped of his old world, Pondaru finds himself in a decayed cyberpunk underworld where neon lights hide cruelty, androids are discarded like broken toys, and survival often means losing the last pieces of your humanity. Torn between the twisted kindness of a group of mercenary misfits and the looming shadow of the corporation that made him, Pondaru must navigate a world of lust, violence, and identity crisis—where every choice brings him closer to either reclaiming who he is, or becoming the product he was designed to be. In a city that devours the weak and worships desire, a place where compromise does not exist, one thought haunts him above all: If I bleed… then I must still be real…Right?

"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. He is nothing but dust within a gargantuan machine—at least until he stumbles upon an anomaly that should never have existed. A fragment of code that grants him the sight to see the world not as matter, but as a fragile string of binary syllables. Alongside Diogenes, the only father figure in this cold, synthetic world, Kai 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.

A science-fiction, post-apocalyptic epic blending hard science with metaphysical philosophy, a saga of action, faith, and survival, where the spirit of Muay Thai inside a ten-year-old boy collides with the ancient art of Qi cultivation. Futuristic science and inner discipline fuse into one struggle: staying alive in a fallen age. Kaodin, the ten-year-old son of a Muay Thai dojo family, becomes entangled in a timeless demon’s scheme and is cast through a cosmic rift, a wound between worlds that births Aeonfall itself. In its wake, the Qi dormant in his body ignites and merges with the rift’s strange radiation, reshaping inner circulation into a force that warps the boundaries of biology, matter, and will, turning his worldly power into something far beyond any human comprehension. In the broken future, Kaodin becomes a pivot point in humanity’s survival, a living proof that defiance can outlast ruin. He faces a question with teeth: does he sever the cycle of destruction and challenge the Timeless One’s existence, or does the desolation of this era consume his last thread of hope, the hope of rekindling humanity’s fate and returning to his original time to reunite with his family.
