future

The future has given humanity a second life—but only by erasing the first. Rion’s mother is dying, and the hospital has become his second home. While balancing work and worry, he crosses paths with Risa, a high school friend he never expected to see again. Now a nurse, she becomes his anchor through the long nights and difficult conversations. The more time they spend together, the more Rion senses something strangely comforting in her presence—something he can’t quite explain. As his mother approaches a choice that could separate them forever, Rion must face the questions he has tried to avoid: What makes a person who they are? And when everything is stripped away, what survives? "We Who Meet Again" is a quiet, emotional story about loss, rediscovery, and the mysterious ways two people can find each other again.

A cosmic court has condemned humanity. Seven immortal witnesses return to the dawn of civilization to prove — or disprove — its worth. Most fall. Power twists them into tyrants, idols, and architects of sterile utopias. Only one chooses another path. Across centuries, Enki walks among mortals unseen, planting knowledge instead of monuments, nurturing fragile lives instead of controlling them. He learns that meaning is not found in eternal empires, but in fleeting acts of grace — a hand lifted from mud, a garden built from flood-ruins, a child taught to listen to water. His defense is not glory. It is tenderness. It is persistence. It is humanity’s quiet refusal to stop loving, even knowing all things end. A mythic tale about time, loss, and choosing to build anyway. [Beneath the myth and the science fiction lies a simple, stubborn claim: this is not just a story. Enki was born in 2850 BC and has been carrying the memory ever since. The names are changed, the years shifted, the moons given new orbits, yet the resurrection happened, the desert temptation was real, the stone rolled away, and the Judge has been reigning ever since. Everything else — the Scrapbook, the 0.3%, the blind spot in the machine — is simply the record of those who kept looking up while the world looked down. Most have forgotten there is a sky vaster than any mind can hold, that Earth is a gift, not a possession, that God drew no borders and the birds still fly free without passports. Read it as fiction if you like. Some books are written so the truth can reach the few who still have ears to hear. This is one of them.] 2025 Mark Casa Nova (Original) You may share, translate, adapt, illustrate, animate, film, or perform this work freely — even commercially — on one unbreakable condition: Do not change the lesson. The resurrection happened. The stone was rolled away. Grace is real, borders are not, and the birds still fly free. Everything else — style, medium, language — is yours to play with. The core is not. That’s all I ask. [Mark K. Carlos]

Ryzel, a nineteen-year-old guide, was expecting to marry Dwight, but the man changed his mind a month before the wedding. “I’m sorry, Ryzel. I wanted a nice and compassionate wife, so I am going to marry Sean instead. Unlike you, who were usually preoccupied with other things, he always showed concern for me. Not to mention how highly compatible we are with one another. I've actually met him before, but he persuaded me to date you because he feels sorry for you." Without even waiting for Ryzel's response, the man left. Ryzel, who was left behind, can't even bother caring about his heart because he's been dealing with a lot of issues as a result of the sudden rejection. He was turning 20 in a month, which meant he had to be married according to the federation's laws. After he reaches the age of 20, the government's assistance will cease, leaving him to fend for his own expenses. If he is not married to a powerful sentinel, he will not be able to reclaim his inheritance and will be forced to die on the front lines. He instantly began looking for solutions, but his hope kept dwindling as his birthday approached without a proper solution to his problems. On the day he felt all hope was lost, his ex’s superior, General Lewis, proposed to him. "I'm not gentle and kind; my priority probably won’t be you; our compatibility may not be high; do you still want to marry me?" Ryzel questioned, fixing his gaze on the general. "It's okay, I don't need my wife to be gentle and kind. Our compatibility is also high. You can focus on your studies, job, or dreams. As long as you remember that you are my guide." “Okay, let’s get married.” ------------------------ This is the story of Ryzel's advancement in career and love life, even with all the troubles surrounding him.

Crossing over into the world of Cyberpunk 2077 should be an opportunity to make a big splash... Wait, hold on, isn't this the year 2075? Sure, it's already November, and 2076 is just around the corner, but I only know about what happens in 2077! In this world, you might not want to live, but you can't afford to not have a job. Anyway, let's start by becoming a mercenary and picking up gigs. That sounds simple enough, but getting a job from a fixer only to face off against an ACPA (Armored Combat Personal Assist) right off the bat—aren't we going a bit overboard here? And who's this daughter of Michiko Arasaka? I've only seen the demo; I don't know these people! What kind of chaotic mission is this!? ----------------------- Original: https://www.qid ian.c om/book/1039781004/ Author: Zuo Yun ----------------------- Twitter-> https://x.com/SrMagnusBook ----------------------- Disclaimer: I do not own Cyberpunk 2077 or its universe.

[Cyberpunk + Edgerunners Fanfic] Lin Mo still remembers the original tagline of the game: “In 2077, my city was voted the worst place to live in America.” Now, he stands atop a skyscraper, gazing down at the city under the cover of night. In the corporate plazas, flames engulf the towers of various megacorps. Crowds surge below, screams and wails echoing through the chaos. And yet, Lin Mo feels nothing but boredom. Maggots feast on marrow. The innocent are puppeteered as flesh and fuel — expendable kindling for the blaze. This city is rotten to its very core. So no — fire alone isn’t enough. Fire may scatter the darkness, but when it dies out, it cannot bring light. Darkness endures. That’s why he must gather the strength of everyone — and become the eternal daylight that this city so desperately needs! An overwhelming light casts the deepest shadow. That light… is the sun! … Through a simulator, Lin Mo arrives in the world of Cyberpunk. At first, he believes he can carve out a place for himself in Night City. But then— “Lin Mo, about that gig…” “Hey Lin Mo, I just picked up a second-hand ride for my garage, take a look…” “Lin Mo, your name’s all over Night City these days! Why don’t you take a look at this job while you’re at it?” Damn it— I’ve become the biggest sucker in town!

Lan Jinyue, once a cold and calculating CEO, thought betrayal ended with death. Just after his wife poisons him, he awakens in another world...inside the frail, starving body of a rare male zerg, the most coveted and controlled species in the galaxy. Abandoned on a desolate trash planet, survival is a daily gamble. Yet Jinyue has never bowed to fate. Against all odds, he endures until 'rescue', and once back in Zerg society, his ruthless instincts and sharp business sense make him one of the most talked-about males in the empire. Popularity, however, draws danger. To protect himself from the clutches of the Male Zerg Association, Jinyue enters a marriage of convenience with Kairen, the untouchable General who swore never to claim a male…only to find Jinyue's cold indifference more alluring than any battlefield. The Association, unsatisfied, later assigns Serin, a gentle but insecure sub-female healer, as Jinyue's official “female attendant.” In a world where males are worshipped as treasures yet caged as prisoners, he will either rewrite the rules…or be destroyed by them. **** This is my first story, so please be nice. It is a true poly, not reverse harem, so all three will end up together and not with Jinyue only. Comments and suggestions are always welcome. Updates every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturdays.

Sol Mercer suddenly finds himself dropped into the world of Zenless Zone Zero—right onto the "big mine" of Nicole from the Cunning Hares. To avoid being an illegal resident, he has no choice but to join the Cunning Hares. Just as Nicole is about to put him to work serving tea and water, hoping he’ll latch onto a rich benefactor, the system arrives right on schedule. His first reward? A tenfold-enhanced "Yan Shuangying" template. · Ten times the limits of human physique · Mastery of all vehicles · Mastery of all weapons But the most crucial abilities are: · Concept Skill - Bullets of the Eagle: "The Eagle's bullets are without limit—how many I say there are, there are." · Concept Skill - God of Gambling: "I rarely lose, and when I do, it's only one silver dollar." · Concept Skill - Duality of Life and Death: "Life and death, an endless cycle—I live for you, you die for me!" With just this template alone, he can already stand firm in this world. But the system holds even more: Morax, the Blonde Traveler of the Abyss, the Sentient Stellaron—Caelus... Nicole, ever defiant: "One more bet! If I lose, you’ll face the thunder!" Anby, dead serious: "A kiss after battle is common sense—it’s in all the movies!" Ellen, blushing fiercely: "A shark’s teeth… are very sharp, you know?" Belle, emanating dark energy: "As a Proxy, tying you up at home is perfectly reasonable, right?"

The black dragon that rose from the depths of the South Sea unleashed an apocalyptic tsunami... Flame demons destroyed city after city made of steel and concrete, calmly departing from the center of nuclear explosions... Alien gods attempted to rule the entire galaxy... This is a future world where human technology is highly advanced. It is also an era that sparked a frenzy of Life Evolution in the Martial Path. Li Yuan, a Martial Path student on the verge of taking his college entrance exams, struggled to advance in this world while harboring the peculiar Divine Palace capable of envisioning the galaxy. Years later. "My current flying speed is 122,682 meters per second, and my power burst is..." Li Yuan flew at extreme speeds through the atmosphere about 180 kilometers above the surface of Blue Star, his cold eyes fixed on the massive creature at the dark void's edge, resembling the mythological dragon: "You, must be the strongest among all the invading Demigod life forms." "It's just unfortunate that I can now be called... Martial God!"

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.

Beneath the vast and infinite starry skies of the universe, countless tribes engage in endless strife, and the flames of war remain unquenched. Rising from insignificance, he possessed no exceptional talents, except for the ability to draw upon the fruits of cultivation from the future. Yet, in a single night, he understood the Dao, and took a step that shattered the shackles of life. With but a thought, he grasped the universal powers, casually breaking down the barriers between spirit and reality. To him, even the most profound and enigmatic of secret tomes were as simple and dull as children's books. Still, he had to go back and fill in the gaps of his cultivation... Some appeared to be glorious, unparalleled geniuses. In reality, they practiced like mad in the shadows to repay their debts...

During the Chunin Exams, a mysterious live stream hijacks all screens, revealing two impossible lives of Naruto Uzumaki. In one world, the despised Jinchuriki rose to become Hokage through unshakable will and talk-no-jutsu. In another, a calculating Naruto, aware of his origins from the start, single-handedly revived the Uzumaki clan—not for Konoha's sake, but for its eventual reckoning.

And I'm more concerned about the 'reckoning'." Madara: "Black Zetsu, explain. Now. Or disintegrate." Kushina: "That's my boy! The Uzumaki will rise again!"

A new work from the author of 'My Senior Brother is Too Steady', welcome to enjoy it! ------------------ In the instant the Earth exploded, the fear of death finally transformed into physical torment, the agony of being scorched seared into the deepest recesses of Yang Ming's memory. "The universe is the abyss." Yang Ming murmured softly among the stars. [PS: Not a game narrative; early game settings will have a complete logical explanation later in the plot. Starting anew on a different track, this isn't in the style of previous works so don't promote it in the old way, treat me as a newcomer. Just entering the domain of interstellar sci-fi, corrections on details are welcome. ]

The Supernatural era descended, the rules changed, mystery arrived, and the world altered. Countless ruins of civilization emerged, and an abundance of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures lay at everyone's fingertips. Radical faction, "This is the best of times, entering a new world, excavating relics, mass evolution!" Conservative, "This is the worst of times, with countless monsters outside, once you leave the Safe Zone, extinction awaits humanity!" … Meanwhile, at a remote ruin, Lu Yuan successfully discovered new treasures and sought after the mysterious wealth, desperately trying to contact his fellow Earthlings. "Found a communicator, can it get through?" "Hey, humans—I'm almost becoming a god, and you're still hiding in the Safe Zone?" …… (Original title: "A Thousand Years Ahead of Humanity") (Also known as "Picking Up Trash in the New World," "Even Wealthier Than All Humans," "One Person Is a Civilization," "Please Call Me the Human Pioneer," "I Am the Strongest Pioneer," and more!)

At the opening ceremony of Sea Blue Star Basic Military Academy, as the representative of the incoming freshmen, Guding proclaimed his grand ambition in front of all the teachers and students: "I'm Guding! I'm gonna become the Man with the Highest Bounty in the entire Cosmic Sea!" -------------------------------------------- It is an era of artificial superintelligences, interstellar travel, gene medicine, and virtual reality worlds. Far into Earth's future, 15-year-old Gu Ding is a student of Cerulean Military Academy by day, and tavern waiter by night. His ambition: Become the space pirate with the highest bounty offered by the Universal Federation Government. With the help of Neptune, a neonate super-intelligence, Guding finds himself thrust into a galaxy of shadowy organizations, political under dealings, and otherworldly forces that lie beyond human comprehension…

Dreams are… a reality that only those who are capable can speak about. This was an era marked by the births of geniuses! This was an era where heroes could be found everywhere! The fierce conflict between the aristocrats and the civilians, the open and veiled battles between the Federation and the Empire, the restlessly lurking extraterrestrials… When the principles of truth were within the range of battleship cannons, when order had no place in this world… Mu Fan, with the mysterious intelligent life “Black” and his unwavering will, fiercely tore open the magnificent Great Galaxy Era!

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.

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!"
