future

One hundred million players. One year trapped. No way out but through. When a massive VR game becomes a death trap, every player on the EU server faces a brutal reality: die in the game, die in real life. The only escape is to clear it — floor by floor, boss by boss — and with one year gone, two thirds of the first floor's players are already dead. Max Veritas is not a hero. He's a 25-year-old father of twins who spent his first months laying low, waiting for someone else to fix things. But when the void in his heart grew bigger, he could not work a job and live a normal life. He started venturing outside the safe city walls and never looked back. On the upper floors, the race to clear the game is in full swing. Priam Castellan — first ranked, terrifyingly powerful, carrying humanity's hope like a burden — drives his guild forward while Salvation, led by a man who found everything he ever wanted inside the game, fights to stop them from ever leaving. Caught between them: Max's brother and his best friend, who don't yet know where Max is — and Max, who doesn't yet know they're up above. This is a progression fantasy about power earned the hard way, about exploration of multiple worlds and about the test that all players face, one in which they have to choose one of the answers to their predicament: Rise and fight the against the game, while risking your life, or stay in cities, work a job in a video game and wait for other players to do the work you. There might even be a third option for some people which is being content with the game world and living in it happily ever after. A fourth option exists for a special breed of players, who love the game worldnso much they will fight those who want to break out.

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!"

BEAST INTEGRATION The world ended when humanity tried to build the perfect soldier. What it created were Abominations—monsters born from hubris and laboratory glass, powerful enough to unmake civilization in a single generation. Cities fell. Governments dissolved. The dead zones spread like rot. When the first generation was finally burned from the earth, an organization called Rainbow rose from the ashes. They built walls. They lit floodlights. They promised the nightmare was over. They lied. Kael Veyron arrives at Rainbow Shelter starving, hollow-eyed, and too exhausted to question the price of a warm bed. For three weeks, the shelter is the closest thing to peace he has known since the Collapse. Then the old man who welcomed him disappears. Not into the wasteland. Not through the gates. Into thin air. Kael starts counting. Empty bunks. Reassigned work details. Meals prepared for residents who never come to collect them. Forty-one missing. Then more. And Rainbow does not seem interested in finding them. What he finds beneath the shelter is worse than death. The project never ended. It simply moved underground—renamed, sanitized, hidden behind reinforced steel and surgical lights. Forced into disposing of the failed experiments, Kael descends into a world of glass tanks and incinerators, of bodies that look almost human and screams that don't sound human at all. Then he finds the flask. Small. Unlabeled. Filled with a black substance that does not flow—it crawls . It presses against the glass with something like hunger. Like recognition. Cornered by Rainbow soldiers, out of options, out of time, Kael makes a desperate choice. He drinks it. His body breaks. His bones are unmade and rebuilt by hands he cannot see. His blood becomes something else—something ancient, something patient, something that has been waiting a very long time to wake up. When he opens his eyes, the soldiers are dead. Kael doesn't remember what happened. He only knows that something inside him has changed. Something is rewriting him from the marrow out. Something that does not want to possess him. It wants to become him. In a world where humanity has locked itself behind walls to keep the monsters out, Kael Veyron is learning the most terrifying truth of all: The apocalypse created the Beasts. Now it has created something that can become one. And the thing wearing his skin is just getting started.

[Simulation shall commence.] On this fateful day, the world was stunned by the appearance of ancient animals that were supposed to have gone extinct for millions of years. Huge sinkholes appeared in every corner of the world, becoming a tunnel for the ancient animals to emerge to the surface. Humans have found an answer to one of the biggest mysteries in human history. Hollow Earth is real. Here, humans will wrest their lives to explore this new world that has existed for thousands, if not millions, of years underneath them. Before the start of his exploration, Clovis came across a place called ‘Another World Mall.’ Dwarven Sword, Magical Elven Clothes, or Giant Race Toy? Everything can be found in this ‘Another World Mall.’ As an aspiring Subterranean Explorer, how would he utilize this ‘Another World Mall’ to become the greatest explorer of all time and find the truth about the simulation?

Reality is not natural. It is administered. Every action requires permission. Every consequence must be paid. Gods rule because existence recognizes their authority—and those deemed too dangerous, too contradictory, or simply too inconvenient are erased until even history forgets they were there. Nyxus should have suffered that fate. Known as Access Denied, he survives an attack designed to delete him not only from existence, but from the story itself. Thrown into Archaverse Twenty-Seven, Nyxus awakens beneath the rule of Karma, the God of Chaos—a being so thoroughly favored by reality that the universe carries out his decisions before he needs to move. Nyxus is recruited into ACT, a faction of anomalies led by the impossibly knowledgeable Aoikishi. Its members include Kaosu, Karma’s rebellious son; Raiyo, a swordsman capable of severing the relationships between things; Torin, an ordinary man too stubborn to let his own injuries stop him; and Yamiya Miekō, the surviving remnant of a deleted world whose strange Dark Logical Energy can reduce impossible systems to their simplest answer. They are not an army. They are an arsenal of errors reality failed to correct. Their enemies extend far beyond Karma. The Continuum Concord appoints gods, regulates history, measures deviation, and removes anyone whose existence produces too many “Flicks.” An ancient man whose touch destabilizes reality has concluded that suffering itself is being arranged into stories—and he intends to find whatever is watching. What begins as a hunt for corrupted artifacts and the mythical Terminal becomes a war over the ownership of existence itself. To survive, these anomalies cannot merely become stronger. They must deny the permissions that make gods untouchable, sever power from its source, simplify the laws protecting it, and force reality to collect the debts it has paid on behalf of its favorites. But some truths were buried deeper than history. Something inside Yamiya has never needed permission. Gods can die. Heroes can be deleted. Narratives can be destroyed. And somewhere beyond everything that believes itself real, the Observer is watching. This is not the story of one chosen hero. It is the story of every broken thing that refused its assigned ending.

Something feels off long before anything goes wrong. The lights still flicker. The streets still fill. The city still moves like nothing has changed. But beneath it all, there’s a quiet that doesn’t belong. Raikun notices it in the pauses—in the spaces between moments, in the things people don’t say, in the feeling that something is slowly slipping out of place. And the more he pays attention, the harder it becomes to ignore: Not everything that disappears makes a sound.

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." "At the same time, his inventions created millions of jobs and made outstanding contributions to regional economies." ... Never would he have imagined—Yang Wendong, already a successful entrepreneur, would accidentally travel back to the 1950s. 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.
