future

The future has given humanity a second life—but only by erasing the first. Rion’s mother is dying, and the hospital has become his second home. While balancing work and worry, he crosses paths with Risa, a high school friend he never expected to see again. Now a nurse, she becomes his anchor through the long nights and difficult conversations. The more time they spend together, the more Rion senses something strangely comforting in her presence—something he can’t quite explain. As his mother approaches a choice that could separate them forever, Rion must face the questions he has tried to avoid: What makes a person who they are? And when everything is stripped away, what survives? "We Who Meet Again" is a quiet, emotional story about loss, rediscovery, and the mysterious ways two people can find each other again.

Rhory Belvast died saving the legendary hero Ender Trueblade from a demon king's fatal strike, the weakest member sacrificing himself for the strongest. A thousand years later, he awakens reincarnated as Espen Trueblade, a ten-year-old boy from the auxiliary line of the very hero he died protecting, only to discover that Ender's party failed, vanishing before completing their quest, and now thirteen demon kings plague the world instead of twelve. Trapped in a child's body but carrying decades of combat experience, Espen must hide his true capabilities while preparing for the brutal Grand Assessment that will determine his fate within the Trueblade family. Dismissed as auxiliary blood, underestimated by the direct line, and haunted by the legend of a hero he once chased, Espen begins a ruthless journey to become so powerful that even Ender's legacy pales in comparison. "I'm coming for you, Golden Boy. Even if it takes this entire new lifetime, I'm going to surpass you."

During the Chunin Exams, a mysterious live stream hijacks all screens, revealing two impossible lives of Naruto Uzumaki. In one world, the despised Jinchuriki rose to become Hokage through unshakable will and talk-no-jutsu. In another, a calculating Naruto, aware of his origins from the start, single-handedly revived the Uzumaki clan—not for Konoha's sake, but for its eventual reckoning. The revelations send shockwaves through the afterlife and the living: Tobirama: "This boy was born evil! And he dares to court Tsunade?!" Hashirama: "Tobirama... we're dead. And I'm more concerned about the 'reckoning'." Madara: "Black Zetsu, explain. Now. Or disintegrate." Kushina: "That's my boy! The Uzumaki will rise again!" Minato: "So... my son is leading a clan revival. Am I a Senju now?" Kaguya: "The logic of this mortal's ambition... I comprehend. But why am I involved?" …….

In the distant year of 2062, creativity is seen as just an afterthought. The city of Silicon Hills is a rather dull and boring. It’s a place where postmodern minimalism dominates the very products we use, generic slop fills our airwaves, and the architecture is the same basic slick and smooth model. A girl called Splat and her ragtag band of rebels, the Leaping Narwhals resist this bland way of life and fight back to return their city to a more colorful state. One day while running from the security of the cruel and uninspired Mayor Goldmore, our heroes encounter a unique alien they decide to call Niji, who will soon become their secret weapon to tip the scales in their favor.

In the Dominion of Astryx, the most advanced and most dangerous nation on the planet, prodigy children are born as assets, not humans. One of them is Ryu Alverion. On the night his father died without any sign of forced entry, Ryu witnessed something impossible: a white spiral that stopped on its own, a phenomenon that cannot halt unless a mind accelerates it internally. By morning, before the Arcadia-6 police could finish their sweep, a black-clad division under legal VASENA authority seized Ryu with absolute jurisdiction. Inside the facility, his cognitive tests broke the systems. Simulations collapsed, AI froze, panels went dark. A single pattern kept reappearing: N.V. – Nex Vanthor, the greatest hacker in Astryx’s history, believed dead five years ago in Sector D-3. Each time it surfaced, Ryu’s world trembled. Nex wasn’t leaving random echoes. He was searching for a trigger, and that trigger was Ryu. Amid the covert experiments, Ryu met Lyra Vesperine, an Omega-Class girl whose silent beauty could sway national sentiment. A scar on her leg, left by bullies from her previous facility, led to their first meeting when Ryu carried her through Vasena’s cold hallway. Two broken heartbeats began to resonate. But Astryx never allows bonds like that. Omega-Class girls have elite suitors, constant surveillance, and every touch becomes political. And Ryu? He isn’t just a newcomer, he is an anomaly. Cassandra Nox, the investigation instructor with a personality like a cold blade, studied Ryu’s brainwave graph and froze. “There’s a pattern inside the pattern. As if, another mind behind yours.” Before she could finish, the simulation chamber crashed again. The white spiral blinked. A message typed itself without human input: “Ryu. You’re getting closer.” Behind the spiral’s glow, something moved, not human, not AI, not anything coded. Then a black encrypted file transferred automatically: PROTOCOL D-3 – FORBIDDEN FILE [Locked: accessible only to two minds, Nex Vanthor or the Trigger]. Ryu touched the panel. The system didn’t read his fingerprint; it read his brainwave. The protocol unlocked. Instead of answers, it played the final recording of his father. Varian Alverion smiled with terrified eyes and whispered: “If you’re seeing this, it means Nex has chosen you.” Then the screen went dark.

Welcome to The Hadean Tier, a blistering realm where hunger claws at your gut, violence roams free, and every sunrise threatens to snuff out another bloodline. Here, survival isn't a right-it's a gamble played in the gutter by gangs thirsty for power and prey alike. Above this infernal sprawl looms The Promise, a gleaming utopia untouched by despair. Its elusive gates stand at the summit of a monolithic tower, daring the desperate to climb toward salvation. Every year, the mighty ruler of The Promise unleashes "The Faulty Tilt", a no‑mercy league tournament that turns hope into a brutal spectacle. Teams band together-each step upward is a knife's edge, each elimination a torch snuffed. As challengers scale into thinner air, the stakes spiral beyond hunger and bloodlust: only the fittest, the ruthless, and the unbroken will reach the top. And when the final team stands alone at the apex, The Promise will finally reckon with the chaos it has sown.

Sol Mercer suddenly finds himself dropped into the world of Zenless Zone Zero—right onto the "big mine" of Nicole from the Cunning Hares. To avoid being an illegal resident, he has no choice but to join the Cunning Hares. Just as Nicole is about to put him to work serving tea and water, hoping he’ll latch onto a rich benefactor, the system arrives right on schedule. His first reward? A tenfold-enhanced "Yan Shuangying" template. · Ten times the limits of human physique · Mastery of all vehicles · Mastery of all weapons But the most crucial abilities are: · Concept Skill - Bullets of the Eagle: "The Eagle's bullets are without limit—how many I say there are, there are." · Concept Skill - God of Gambling: "I rarely lose, and when I do, it's only one silver dollar." · Concept Skill - Duality of Life and Death: "Life and death, an endless cycle—I live for you, you die for me!" With just this template alone, he can already stand firm in this world. But the system holds even more: Morax, the Blonde Traveler of the Abyss, the Sentient Stellaron—Caelus... Nicole, ever defiant: "One more bet! If I lose, you’ll face the thunder!" Anby, dead serious: "A kiss after battle is common sense—it’s in all the movies!" Ellen, blushing fiercely: "A shark’s teeth… are very sharp, you know?" Belle, emanating dark energy: "As a Proxy, tying you up at home is perfectly reasonable, right?"

This was the great era of vast warships and the Star River, a time when the multi-universe was shattered and countless Cosmic Fragments were scattered across the void, forming the boundless Shattered Starry Sea. Immortal Domain Dao soldiers, mechanical gods, golden giants, wizard Dominators... An endless array of strange civilizations. Starry Sea Oddity, Genetic Potions, exoskeletal armors, Floating Land Origin... Treasures that could be found everywhere. Spectral Shuttle, Spectral Airship, Spectral Warship, Escort Ships, Battleships, Star-Annihilating Starships, hyperdimensional mother ships... The clearly stratified Xinhuo warships. Song Chi held a Zhu Tian Ruins Market in his hand and engaged in interstellar trade with the countless peoples of the Starry Sea. What? Titanium Crystals are worthless in your Star Domain? I'll take them all, damn it, this is a strategic resource! You call this a chunk of iron? This is Mixed Elemental Copper, the ultimate Enhancement resource! Ordinary ship cannon? Isn't this a golden Star-Annihilating Cannon? Quick... I'll buy it! ... Stretching across the stars, starting from the flame of human civilization.

If the gods no longer bestow their mercy, then let us kindle bonfires, carry great swords, become skeletons, or heroes of legend.

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. ]

The Supernatural era descended, the rules changed, mystery arrived, and the world altered. Countless ruins of civilization emerged, and an abundance of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures lay at everyone's fingertips. Radical faction, "This is the best of times, entering a new world, excavating relics, mass evolution!" Conservative, "This is the worst of times, with countless monsters outside, once you leave the Safe Zone, extinction awaits humanity!" … Meanwhile, at a remote ruin, Lu Yuan successfully discovered new treasures and sought after the mysterious wealth, desperately trying to contact his fellow Earthlings. "Found a communicator, can it get through?" "Hey, humans—I'm almost becoming a god, and you're still hiding in the Safe Zone?" …… (Original title: "A Thousand Years Ahead of Humanity") (Also known as "Picking Up Trash in the New World," "Even Wealthier Than All Humans," "One Person Is a Civilization," "Please Call Me the Human Pioneer," "I Am the Strongest Pioneer," and more!)

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.

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!"

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?

Beneath the vast and infinite starry skies of the universe, countless tribes engage in endless strife, and the flames of war remain unquenched. Rising from insignificance, he possessed no exceptional talents, except for the ability to draw upon the fruits of cultivation from the future. Yet, in a single night, he understood the Dao, and took a step that shattered the shackles of life. With but a thought, he grasped the universal powers, casually breaking down the barriers between spirit and reality. To him, even the most profound and enigmatic of secret tomes were as simple and dull as children's books. Still, he had to go back and fill in the gaps of his cultivation... Some appeared to be glorious, unparalleled geniuses. In reality, they practiced like mad in the shadows to repay their debts...

As a transmigrator without any cheats, Tomioka Akimi was a bit flustered when he found a breathing technique manual left behind by his ancestor. But then he thought, "It's already 2022—there’s no way demons still exist," and calmed down. That is, until he heard about the SAO beta test... "Umm, something’s not right here. Why are breathing techniques and Sword Art Online in the same world?"

40k word count before lock. Jack regarded himself as the greatest failure in the world; a broke unemployed law student who does nothing but laze around all day. This was until he was chosen by the Urban System. [Urban System Activated.] With its activation, the system elevated him beyond ordinary, gifting him the kind of video-game skills only protagonists possessed… and exposing the world’s real, long-buried truth.

Moreover, with the activation of the system, he had inherited the fate of the previous user who live the truth of the world all his life. Now Jack must confront that destiny, facing the dangers of a world far more fantastical… and far more perilous… than he ever imagined.
