future

The future present is wordy...

Li Tang was reborn on the eve of the new millennium. He knew the trajectory of the mining market over the next twenty years, had the coordinates of every newly discovered supermine, and understood the intricate details of century-defining mergers between mining giants. While experts lamented that all the rich mines were in the hands of major players and that the giants were troubled by aging and depleting resources, turning from exploration to ruthless corporate takeovers... A group from the East kept working miracles—discovering deeply buried, shockingly rich mineral deposits again and again. From scorching deserts, frozen Arctic lands, and uninhabited primeval forests, they extracted tons of ore. Fully loaded cargo ships, the industrial lifeline, thundered across the seas toward the East. He had advanced exploration technology, wielded capital like a club, and maneuvered deftly through complex global politics—completely disrupting the mining industry's global landscape. When he speaks, the world listens. One foreign mining analyst exclaimed: “He is already the sole mining oligarch on Earth!” Thank you for the support, friends.

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!"

And now that monster is coming back for them. Thirteen years. That was how long Mỹ Phan had spent in slavery. She had no hope for a better life or a future, and her only lifeline was her mother.

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.

Lin Haoran was reborn in 1978 Hong Kong, becoming a wealthy young heir. At this time, the glory of the British financial consortiums was beginning to fade, while Chinese capital was rising rapidly like bamboo after the rain, starting to shine on the international stage. Former British-controlled giants like Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa were becoming prime targets pursued by Chinese entrepreneurs. So, with growing strength, Lin Haoran set his sights on the leading British trading firm—Jardine Matheson... Thank you for the support, friends.

When a software developer from our world dies, he doesn't meet an end—he wakes up on a cold metal table in the Mass Effect universe. He's no hero; he's a Cerberus test subject trapped on the criminal station Omega, and his only hope for survival is a cryptic AI in his head: the IDA System. This System doesn't just give quests and track levels. It allows him to absorb, equip, and even synthesize the DNA of the aliens he encounters. To survive, he must evolve, slotting in everything from Vorcha Regeneration to Krogan Blood Rage. But as he becomes a powerful alien hybrid, he faces a far greater problem: he knows the Reapers are coming, and a mysterious curse turns his every warning into absurd, harmless nonsense.

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.

Humanity is thrown into a cruel death game. Everyone has to use their vehicle to travel on the infinite road, desperately gathering supplies while avoiding the game's trials. Sandrine is just the same. Except... Why does she have a horse instead of a car ? The tribulations of an insane heroine galloping in panties and fighting big trucks with her trusty picthfork !

The INVERTERS. A group of people who dedicate their time to eliminating the threats of the reversed aliens. These creatures feast on what makes a person unique, they feed on a persons being and reasons for doing what they do. As they get infected by the virus they are met with an endless sensation of hunger for flesh and meaning. These creatures have levelled cities and destroyed families while begging for help to die. They cannot help themselves for their bodies succumb to the virus. And so the Inverters were created to end their suffering. Out of all these groups all over the galaxy, there lies one that is completely different. In a reality where people push you down, they push back and stand up. They are the Plasma Nexus. It’s been about 400 years ever since the Judgement order came. Our ancestors came from a place of war and finally created a system that would benefit everyone, because it was “necessary”. And so they separated their cities. The inside would consist of those who came from upright normal homes and citizens. And outside those borders, they were surrounded by Reddes zones. Impoverished areas housing every type of crime imaginable. What they failed to realise was would it be the same for our descendants? A child born into a world of peace has no reason to fight meaning the system of the J.O. did its job. They should have been decommissioned after 100 years, but they didn’t, they wanted order and peace, and that would not have been possible if they disappeared. And now in the 25th century we follow the story of The “Masked Drifter” Iver Tanaka. A 17 year old scavenger who takes on any job unless it involves drugs and taking lives. On a job gone wrong he gets saved and recruited by the Plasma Nexus. They’re an inverter organisation. And a rebellion against the J.O as well. Iver could care less about their goals, all he wants to do is find one man, and eliminate him so that he can finally chase the stars in the very same sky he looked up to for years. It’s time for an inversion on the Judgement Order.

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.

After obtaining the Mech Designer System, Ves aims to create the greatest mechs in the galaxy! In the far future, the galactic human civilization has entered the Age of Mechs. The countless lesser powers of humanity have come to adopt mechs as their main weapons of war. Only a small number of humans have the right genetic aptitude to pilot these destructive war machines the size of buildings. Born to a military family in the edge of the galaxy, Ves Larkinson is one of the many people who lacks the talent to earn glory in battle. Instead, he became a mech designer. Helped by his missing father, Ves has obtained the mysterious Mech Designer System that can help him rise in the galaxy and beyond. His mechs based on the principles of life quickly allows him to rise to prominence. Powerful and highly compatible with mech pilots, his products have the potential to take the market by storm. However, success does not come easily, and countless challenges bar his ability to sell his mechs to a market eager for innovation! With the sins of the human race in the galactic arena slowly catching up, Ves must navigate the perils of the ultra-competitive mech market and maintain control over his growing organization of misfits. This is the golden age of mechs. This is the golden age of humanity. The question is, will it last?

The main issue with Xu Tingsheng, who was mysteriously reborn in 2003 after failing miserably in his previous life, is none other than her. Unfortunately, she is only in her first year of junior high school, and he is only a few months away from starting college. All he can do in this regard is wait quietly for the time being. Meanwhile, there are still other issues. Back then, a lot of things went—rather badly. If given the opportunity to make a difference, wouldn't it be the best course of action to try to alter those terrible outcomes by spinning the roulette wheel again with the odds stacked in a different way? And is there really an alternative in some situations? Thus, the butterfly's wings flap. The power of intelligence and foresight preempts excellence in Xu Tingsheng's new "second chance" life, and that, when combined with charisma and character, produces women. Here, he aspires to success while never losing sight of the reason he exists, which his accomplishments are ultimately intended to safeguard and treasure. And in the midst of all of this, youth does blossom for the young, intense, complex romance and impulsive, passionate fighting that never fails to inspire. This is a thought-provoking story of life, on life, on living that is philosophical and profound amid the great, unique tale of modernity it tells.
