future

[Schedule: 3 chapters every day at 9:00, 14:00, and 19:00; 26 chapters in total] The Little Engine That Would is a solarpunk reimagining of the classic children's fable, narrated by Unit 402, a sentient train. Unit 402 carries "tilted" passengers—individuals experiencing internal crisis—while monitoring their biometric stress to make micro-adjustments for their comfort. Although the passengers perceive the train as a tireless and self-sufficient monolith, its operation depends entirely on a hidden network of track sensors and human maintenance crews. The narrative replaces the "I think I can" mantra with "routing optimizations," focusing on a machine that provides safety and care for people who remain unresolved. By treating forward motion as a calculated practice of optimism, the train demonstrates that continuation is the only way belief travels.

Zack was a rising star, a talent upon whom the Academy placed its brightest hopes. Everyone was certain he had a future forged in light until the Awakening Day. It was a crushing blow; he failed his awakening, and the people he called friends revealed their true colors, turning their backs and tossing him aside like trash. On that same day, disaster struck. A spatial crack tore open the sky, releasing hordes of monstrous creatures. Zack was forced to fight for survival, but it was all for nothing. Beaten and broken, he gathered his last strength, lifting a bloodied hand to grip the pendant he wore. With tears streaming down his cheeks, he waited for death. But fate wasn't about to give up on him just yet. As his blood soaked the pendant, a notification sounded in his mind out of nowhere. [Ding] [Host has successfully awakened the Ability Evolution System.] “Huh! What’s going on?” Zack’s eyes widened in surprise at the holographic screen floating before him. [Host has bonded with the system. Unlocked abilities: All Elemental Manipulation and Ability Copy.] [Host can now copy and evolve abilities Infinitely.] From that day, his extinguished dream of becoming an Abilitan was violently reignited. Aided by a mysterious system and a heaven-defying power, he sets foot on the destined path. His is a journey of adventure and exploration across a vast, reborn world a realm scarred by a catastrophe five centuries past, now filled with breath-taking landscapes, majestic beasts, and monsters lying in wait. Beyond the walls of civilization, out worldly beasts roam the forgotten lands, and mystical portals and gates lead to realms and worlds of every imaginable kind. Yet there is far more to Zack’s existence than what first meets the eye. Fragmented memories from a past life begin to awaken, whispering questions that lead him deeper into mystery. All the while, a dark secret has lurked in shadow for hundreds of years, waiting silently for its moment to erupt. Now, watch as Zack defies all odds. In a universe brimming with countless worlds and hidden dangers, he will fight to grow stronger, climb to the pinnacle, and take back what was rightfully his. This is the beginning not just of one boy’s resurrection, but of an epic saga where a group of teenagers will step into the unknown, facing adventure and peril at every turn.

[A mortal warmaster story about the Imperial Navy, with many female protagonists and a lot of hammering! ] Horatio never expected that he, a scum of the lower nest who was sentenced to death at the beginning, would become the first expedition warmaster from the Imperial Navy. He was awarded the command scepter of the Imperial Armed Forces by the Imperial Regent Guilliman with a smile. The Lion King Lion patted his shoulder and said, "Leave the battle line to you, I'm going to kill people." The Second Imperial Emperor *Bang! *Saint Lesto dreamed of taking care of his unlucky yellow-armored child. He was regarded as the favorite bedtime story by the God Emperor and the Four Gods. Well, it's over. Adjutant, sound the battle alarm! The Hell Vanguard immediately launched an orbital airborne strike! The Lord Guard launched a boarding attack on the rebel flagship!

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.

Before the Reaper invasion, during the confrontation with the Reapers, after the victory over the Reapers. Captain of the Systems Alliance Navy, human John Shepard – only one of those inhabitants of the Galaxy who had to fight the enemy coming from outside, who managed not only to stop the Reapers, but also to destroy them. He did not stand at the head of the Resistance, but did everything so that the Galaxy in all its diversity was preserved. Precisely such sentients became necessary in such a moment – and they appeared, manifesting their best qualities.

Our protagonist ends up in the Ancients' city of Atlantis, located in the Pegasus galaxy. The Earth expedition hasn't arrived, the city is underwater and faces flooding. Well, and judging by everything, the Ascended, despite the circumstances, clearly don't like the protagonist. And yet the Ascended are clearly not the biggest problem.

Planet Tanzhou: after a brutal clash between the Imperial Planetary Defense Forces and rebel troops, the battlefield has become a graveyard of abandoned gear.​ Li Qingyu, the owner of the mysterious “Search, Fight, Retreat” System, doesn’t see a tragedy here—he sees the start of a lucrative “battlefield cleanup” business. He’s a true scavenger-rat in this ruined world.​ A fallen guardsman’s lasgun? Confiscated. Loaded with rare Class-3 armor‑penetrating rounds. A set of carapace armor? Stripped. That’s Level-4 protection! And here’s the grand prize: a fallen Commissar’s bolt pistol. Whoa—loaded with Class-5 ammo! He even manages to salvage a Fat Tank Battery—an incredible power source—from a wrecked Leman Russ.​ All this loot goes straight into a Secret Cache. Trading for construction materials for the Shelter, selling to contacts of major gangs—each run brings him closer to his long‑cherished goal.​ With an upgraded Shelter, he sets up production: custom machine guns, high-output power cells… Before long, Li Qingyu isn’t wearing one suit of trophy power armor—he’s wearing six, ready to throw himself into battle against heretics.​ His ambitions know no limits: to raise his “Trust Level” in the eyes of the Imperium and, in the end, ascend the Golden Throne itself!

The protagonist didn’t end up as Shepard at all—so why does everyone know him as John Shepard? Because sticking close to the canon is profitable. Sure, it’s dangerously profitable, but when you’re in the thick of events, you at least have a rough idea of what’s coming next. That’s what John tells himself, anyway. Except he forgot something important: he isn’t Shepard. He carries the name, but he’s… What his real surname is—and what kind of trouble that truth will bring— you’ll find out in this book. Or maybe he’ll manage to squeeze a few perks out of it.

After the nuclear winter, humanity survives deep beneath Vienna — in the tunnels, stations, and shafts of the old metro system. Here rules the Union, a techno-socialist state that believes humanity can only be saved through discipline, sacrifice, and reason. Surrounded by rival powers, hunger, disease, and competing ideologies, the Union wages war — not only for territory, but for the right to define what humanity truly means. David, a young soldier of the Union, is caught between duty and doubt. As the final great war draws closer, one question remains unanswered: How much humanity may die so that humanity itself can survive? This work is inspired by post-apocalyptic worlds such as Metro 2033, but stands as an independent and original story.
