future

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!

Born into poverty, Xavier has only ever wanted one thing: a better life for himself and his mother. That distant dream suddenly becomes possible when he acquires a mysterious system that grants him the chance to become a Chaser—elite pilots chosen to wield humanity’s most powerful weapons. In a time engulfed by constant war, Xavier is drafted into the [ESDF] and assigned to the Blood Hound Garrison, a unit known as much for its reckless pilots as its brutal survival rate. As a rookie Chaser, he must learn to pilot a Titan, a massive combat mech built to repel the extraterrestrial forces threatening Earth from beyond the planet. Thrown into real battles far sooner than he expected, Xavier quickly learns that hardwork alone isn’t enough to survive. With enemies closing in, pressure mounting, and lives on the line, his dream of a better future may come at a far greater cost than he ever imagined.

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 humanity almost destroyed its own planet, Earth, people decided that it may be better to let her recover and move somewhere else. Scientists had already found new planets where living could be possible so they flew there. They've built first cities as they settled down there and limited living only to the cities so the new planets wouldn't get destroyed as the old one. Rayne lost her family, not knowing why, although she probably deep down suspected that something bad had happened as her grandmother really never told her about their family. One day, her brother found her and together they are trying to find the people because of whom they didn't know each other until now and didn't have family.

A city where night never fall, where dreamers come and go, wishing for a better life just to ended up diving into a deeper rabbit hole.

Humanity was isolated in the cold vacuum of space. Mankind had lost and was torn apart, all communications silent, their species on the brink of extinction. However, people say when humans are pushed to the brink of collapse they tend to do the unthinkable, some even say humans are akin to cockroaches, no matter how hard you try to squish it, it will still live even when you cut off its head. And so when the state of the art human warships failed against siren monsters they decided to make monsters of their own, and they were Kansens. The embodiment of past modern ww2 ships that were upgraded to their space versions. With their return humanity was able to fight back and gather under one banner to push back the threat of sirens. Now, after a few years of little inactivity people think with the decrease in they would be gone forever. if only they knew, 'WAR NEVER CHANGES' as it is just the calm before the storm.

Nikita's Mysterious Identity: Nikita is no ordinary girl; her sky-blue hair and sky-blue eyes hint at a dormant magical power. Furthermore, her vampire-like fangs and her bond with the blue snake prove that she possesses powers belonging to a dark or mystical realm. The King's Secret Identity: The King does not have typical human pupils; instead, his eyes are sharp and piercing like a cat's. The mysterious scar on his face and his calm reaction to Nikita’s transformation suggest that he knows secrets about her past that she has yet to discover. The Connection to the Past: A major question remains whether this King is directly linked to the forest mystery and the "cat-eyes" Nikita remembers from her childhood. There is a deep, hidden purpose behind why he has confined her and why he feels such an intense pull toward her. Time Travel & Illusion vs. Reality: This is not just a world inside a magical book—it is a journey through Time Travel. There is a constant suspense over whether Nikita has traveled from the present to the past or if she is trapped in a cycle where she is destined to return.

Avery Asteria was far from having anyone's dream job. Family circumstances had him drop out of school and flying around the expanse of space looking for treasure among the discarded trash in an old ship his father had been restoring. It was far from glamorous work, but it was all he could do to earn the money he needed. He was not the only one looking for fortune among the stars, though. One day a score that looked too good to be true led to a run in with a band of pirates. With some quick wits and a bit of luck, Avery managed to escape the worst, but he ended up missing out on collecting the valuable salvage he had his sights on. Having lost a large chunk of his gear in his flight from the pirates, Avery seemed to be truly at the end of his rope. However, a twist of fate led him to discovering an experimental vessel that had been lost to the far reaches of space. With this new ship in his possession, his prospects were looking up. It had everything and more than what any spacefarer could want. And Avery was going to use it to become the leader of the greatest band of mercenaries in the galaxy.

When Aarav begins noticing impossible shifts in the quiet corners of his world—walls that seem to breathe, shadows that linger too long, moments that echo back at him—he assumes exhaustion is playing tricks on his senses. But the changes aren’t random. Something in the environment is watching him, learning him, mirroring him with unsettling precision. As the familiar turns subtly alive, Aarav is drawn into a silent dialogue with a presence that grows more curious by the day. What begins as a faint disturbance becomes a pattern, and then a pursuit. Each recognition deepens the connection, pulling him toward a truth far older and far larger than his life. This is only the first step. The awakening has begun, and the world behind the world is just starting to reveal itself.

[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?

Areon Kael Vonn was on track to become a great nuclear scientist, his yearly genetic augmentations optimized for research: mathematical abstraction, learning plasticity, metacognition, and relentless focus. He was never meant to be a soldier - never prepared to carry lives in his hands. Then one unanticipated disaster forces him into uniform. Pulled into the United Worlds Institute of War Studies, he receives the latest genetic augmentation for command and is given a clean, clinical starting line: the ability to sync with and control five AI combat units. Five synced AI combat units become a squad. Squads become platoons. Platoons become companies. Companies become battalions. Battalions become fleets. On paper, it’s harmless. It isn’t. Areon learns the horrors of war the hard way. Long ago, an ancient Earth tongue defined war as: a desire for more cows. The resource changed: cattle to spice, spice to manpower, manpower to oil, oil to uranium, uranium to deuterium and beyond. The motive stayed - progress disguised as necessity. Survival became expansion. Expansion became infrastructure. Infrastructure became dominion. Then wormhole generators made light-year distances a single jump—and war cascaded across stars. But the true enemy isn’t a Galactic Grand Armada, a solar system’s fleet, or a single monarch - it’s war itself: the primal antagonist that inflicts irreversible damage on civilization, leaving stellar graveyards in its wake. Somewhere far above the front line, under the Sky, war is engineered. The Sky is indifferent to those who stand beneath it. And at the top, there is no one left to share its weight. Each step upward expands Areon’s reach… and multiplies the consequences of every order, every delay, every mistake - bearing Sky’s Burden. ****** Please support my work!

What would you do if you kept reliving your worst day... over and over... until you got it right? Ren Ryūhara arrives at Sakura High for only one reason: to find the boy who knows why his brother ended up in a coma. What he didn't expect was to become a pawn in a brutal gang war or to discover that he can rewind time itself. Three months. That's how long it took to break him. One savage beating. One betrayal. One body in a pool of blood still laughing even as Ren crushes his throat. The cops arrive and Ren realizes too late: he was set up from the very beginning. But when his eyes open again, he's not in a cell. He's back at Day One. The question isn't if Ren will break the loop. It's who he will become by the time he does. Checkmate. Your move. This is a gritty, time-loop thriller in the vein of Tokyo Revengers, Re:Zero where every reset costs more than the last, and the only way forward is to break the cycle before it breaks him. https://discord.gg/9xJusvAzC here's the discord link for discussion, theories and character art.

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?

The empire encompassed endless twinkling stars, but in this dark and terrifying distant future, there were only endless wars. ...... Gu Hang became the governor of a wasteland planet, where previous governors had all been executed for failing to deliver the tithe on time. Monsters and Low Energy Storms rampaged, survivor factions schemed against each other, technological regression, low productivity, the resurgence of Evil Gods, Green Skin Orcs taking root and sprouting... "Don't panic just yet, let me check the panel below." [Military Tokens], [Heroes], [Technology], [Events]... Starting as the planetary governor, he would build fleets that traversed the Star Sea, suppressing all alien forms, heretics, traitors, and demons of chaos! Although I formed battle groups on my own, funded Battle Nuns, diverted the imperial tax, and disregarded deployment orders... I knew I was fiercely loyal! Traitors? 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.
