future

It's a fresh new start for the Third Generation of Kids Next Door. Learning the value of friendship, fighting dangerous villains, and having fun adventures, they train to better their selves as they continue their parents' legacy! This is a series of one-shots and short stories that introduce and follow the adventures of the Third Gen KND. These one-shots can be enjoyed without extensive knowledge of the Gameverse lore. Most of the one-shots are episodic and have no strict order, but it's recommended you read the introduction chapters first. Almost every chapter or arc focuses on a new crossover and a KND sector interacting with them. (NOTE: newly added chapters may be rearranged before other ones, depending what I think the order of reading should be.)

In the year 2086, humanity stood at the peak of technological advancement. The world’s greatest nations united under Project Helios—an ambitious experiment created to generate limitless energy by manipulating space and dark matter. But on the night the Helios Reactor was activated for the very first time, the sky above the Pacific Ocean cracked apart like shattered glass. A colossal purple rift opened across the heavens, pulsing like the heartbeat of a wounded world. Then, they came. Creatures from ancient legends. A golden-scaled beast with wings like thunder roared above the sea. Stone giants walked through collapsing cities. Women with raven wings descended alongside black storms. Horned beasts from forgotten myths began roaming the human world. Nuclear weapons were launched. Armies marched. Entire nations burned. Yet the war between modern technology and the world of mythology brought nothing but endless destruction. Until a being calling himself The Ancient One appeared with a proposal: Twelve battles. Twelve representatives. And the fate of two civilizations would be decided within the arena. Arrows against gunpowder. Muscle against steel. Magic against science.

Ledea Mace is fifteen years old, a salvager working the asteroid belts at the edge of nowhere. Her partner is her younger sister Shutia — except Shutia is twenty-four, handles the guns, and has never once taken her eyes off her big sister for long. When a crew of raiders shows up to take their haul by force, the two of them improvise their way out of it the only way they know how: together. The aftermath is tea, a too-warm couch, and Shutia saying things that sound almost like a joke. Almost.

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.

Kael did not come to Farin by choice. A quiet village... untouched by fear, where no one expects danger.. and no one expects him. His strength is fading. His magic remains silent. And something within him... is changing. He feels it. In the way his body weakens. In the way his thoughts are no longer entirely his. Farin is not a place for strangers. And Kael is not something that can remain unseen. The longer he stays... the closer everything begins to close around him.

A broken heart... A deadly pandemic... A deadlier prophecy... A falling friend... A failing system...

As only later he understands that he has to do something that he is the best at - LOVE. Villians are justified and protagonists are crticized, only until the world thinks through a dopamine-hijacked brain. Once people start to feel from their heart, humanity reaches its Zenith.

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.

On the upper floors, the race to clear the game is in full swing.

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.

Gu Hang became the governor of a wasteland planet, where previous governors had all been executed for failing to deliver the tithe on time.

This is clearly the Third Empire!

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.

In the post-apocalyptic era, amidst the wasteland and chaos, the great path reaches the heavens. Mad Outer Gods, uncontrollable cursed cultivation methods, extraordinary martial artists facing ominous old age... Above the starry sky, deities circle, and below, ghosts roam at night! In this doomsday scenario, Xu Shu carries the "Primordial Scroll" and transmigrates.

Dreams reflect reality, and more and more people begin to spread his name and words across the land. Only then does Xu Shu realize that the life he simulated has far-reaching effects, like a butterfly flapping its wings! And those rampant Outer Gods finally recall the fear that once dominated them... He dies thousands of times on the path to ascension, and another night passes in the Primordial Scroll.

In the neon of blue and purple, under the thick steel sky, at the forefront of this surge of data, lies the world post-tech revolution. It's also the dividing line between reality and illusion. Steel and flesh, past and future. In this place, the world outside and inside coexist. Everything in front of us feels like a wall of time within reach. The darkness is slowly creeping in. But hey, my friend, you gotta know, we can't just counter darkness with softness. Gotta use fire.

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.

To stop a bird from flying, you need only do two things: you may build a cage or break its wings. Raoul's mother has done both. The once-sociable prodigy staggers through his days people-watching while his jailer keeps his world small and his potential smaller. His future lies outside of the bars, and the key's nowhere to be found. Enter Krocko, a loudmouth freelancer who notices the glow Raoul doesn't know he's giving off. He introduces him to Driving, a conviction-based power tied to the very Cycles of civilization Rynth has progressed through. For the first time, Raoul realizes he actually wants something. The bird decides to peck off the lock on the cage. It chirps, seeking three from its flock that it used to fly with. Four pairs of wings soar higher than one, after all. Sometimes, in a world quietly inching closer to the end, the will to change the world for the better is all you need.

A universe is large place. Empires and civilisations rise, and fall. Sometimes you are at the top of the foodchain, sometimes you are at the bottom. Sometimes when you think you are at the top, someone else comes along and puts you in your place. The only constant rule in the universe is that, there are no rules.
