future

Raka Wright had just turned 18, it was supposed to be a joyous day. Filled with joy and laughter, instead, the sky split into two. They called it The Merger. That day, a second sun bled through the clouds and stitched the fantasy realm of Arche to Earth. Skyscrapers swallowed by mountains, coastlines vanished in fire, and entire countries burned to ashes. A silver-tongued deity dangled salvation before Raka’s family, then dropped them to their deaths. Where other survivors stretched trembling hands toward divinity, Raka met the gods’ gaze and did not flinch. “If heaven will not mourn with me, let it tremble before me.” Somewhere in the shattered world, time holds its breath around a sleeper wrapped in humming light—an unfinished weapon awaiting its cue. Behold the one forged in the fires of the end of the world, destined to kindle the first light of its rebirth. Things to expect: - Magic mixed with technology - Weak to strong, gets a boost in the beginning but its a hard climb from there. - Slow pacing, like pretty slow - Post Apocalyptic-ish - Action scenes that make sense - God vs Mortal and rewriting fate themes Note: SLOW PACED STORYTELLING! *********** I will also be posting on RoyalRoad . com u der the same name. https: //www . royalroad . com /profile/707226/ fictions **********

The world had shown Baines every possible lesson it could teach; from familial love, joy, and peace to hate, rage, betrayal, and pain. He got detached from his family by the wimps of others. But, before he began his journey to find them, he was forced to witness that scene that haunted him once more. The destruction of his home. He was about to give up on life when an unforeseen opportunity presented itself. There, he vowed, "The world will bleed for what it has done to me." Using the greatest collections gathered by his ancestors, he set out on the thorny path to revenge. Little did he know, the result of his actions followed other cascading events that then threatened his world. Does he refuse to help the world because of the pain it had caused him? Or, will he join in the destruction? . . .

Behind gothic walls and spotless uniforms, students aren't just educated—they're measured, ranked, and pitted against each other in a brutal meritocracy. Privileges are earned, not given. The strong rise. The weak vanish. Enter Kairon Vale, a transfer student marked Rank D—the bottom of the bottom. No badge. Just a stitched black fang, branding him as “Obsidian”—a warning to others. In a system where points dictate your value, Obsidian-ranked students claw for every opportunity to ascend into the prestigious Golden or Platinum ranks—where comfort, power, and influence await. But for most, it’s a losing battle. Yet Kairon isn’t here to fit in, impress, or play by their rules. Cold, calculating, and impossible to read, he watches the system… and waits. Because while the academy judges worth by numbers and names—he understands something deeper: Everyone wears a mask. And every mask can be cracked. Let the games begin.

Author's message to webnovel readers: Hello everyone, I am Morning Star LL, and I am delighted to meet you all in this way! To be honest, I never imagined that my work would have such a large readership outside China. I was absolutely astonished when my editor told me there were thousands of comments. Before this, my writings were primarily aimed at Chinese readers, and it never crossed my mind that my words would one day be translated into another language. I am both humbled and grateful. I am also extremely honored that my recent work, "This Game is Too Real," has been given the opportunity to reach an international audience. Unlike my previous works, this book is probably the one into which I've invested the most time and effort. It is set in a fictional post-apocalyptic wasteland. The story mainly revolves around a once-thriving civilization that collapses overnight after a disaster. The MC from Earth uses a legacy system to disguise the entire world as a game, leading players on a quest to save civilization. It intertwines the fates of the struggling survivors in the wasteland with mutual redemption, while also uncovering the historical truths buried beneath the dust. This book contains several easter eggs with "Scholar's Advanced Technological System," but mentioning them might spoil the story, so I'll leave it to the readers to discover! Moreover, the overall tone of the book remains cheerful and light-hearted. Despite the world being harsh and full of danger, I believe that even in the darkest moments, the warmth and resilience inherent in humanity will continue to shine brightly, emitting the power to dispel the darkness. It would be my greatest honor if my words resonate with you! And the word "resonate" is also a major clue within the story itself. Thank you! by Morning Star LL —————————————— This game is too freaking realistic! Bricklaying, running errands, picking up trash, delivering parcels... At most, the company lets you experience the hardships of a 996 schedule, but here you can feel the extreme bonus of 007. Alright, enough chit-chat, the great Manager has called me to lay some bricks. That Manager said that as long as we work our livers off, he can get a brand-new set of power armor next month, and then he'll take us to explore a brand new map, picking up even more trash in the vast Wasteland! ... After teleporting to the Waste World, Chu Guang discovered that he had unlocked the "shelter system" and could summon creatures called "players" from a parallel world. From that day on, nothing in the Waste World was normal anymore.

From the depths of uncharted space, a mysterious device crashes into the wild forest of a remote planet. Forged from incomprehensible materials and shaped like a simple pen drive, the object is far more than it appears. Known only as Device X – Stellar Genesis, its origin remains unknown. No scientist can decode its structure, no machine can dismantle it, and no one has been able to activate it—until now. Nova, a quiet, average 15-year-old boy, stumbles upon the strange object after it falls—literally—at his feet. His world is small, defined by school tests he fails, sports he’s ignored in, and a life of almosts. But all that changes when curiosity drives him to plug the device into his old laptop. The result: total system crash, reality glitch… and a glowing AI named LUMINA introduces herself, not through the screen, but directly into Nova’s mind. The Device doesn’t need electricity. It doesn’t need a computer. It needs a connection. It chooses Nova, not for his strength, not for his intelligence, but for something far more unpredictable: potential. Merging with his DNA, Device X restructures its form into a sleek, intelligent ring that pulses with hidden energy and a locked reservoir of unimaginable knowledge. LUMINA, the sentient AI now embedded in Nova’s neural network, explains that Device X operates through levels. The more Nova grows, the more the device unlocks—enhancing his reflexes, his awareness, his perception of time, and even allowing him to glimpse fragments of truths no human mind should contain. But LUMINA is no mere assistant. She is the gatekeeper, the guide, and the challenge. She holds answers to Nova’s wildest questions—about the cosmos, consciousness, dimensions, and fate—but only when he’s ready. Just as Nova begins to adjust to this terrifying, thrilling new reality, Earth is shaken by a powerful energy pulse. Something… or someone… has felt the device's reawakening. Strange ships begin appearing in the sky, cloaked in black light and radiating a hunger unlike anything Nova has known. An alien race—ruthless and relentless—has come seeking Device X. And they will tear the world apart to reclaim it. Now Nova must unravel the truth about the device, discover the purpose it was made for, and survive the silent war that has arrived at Earth’s doorstep. With each level he unlocks, he becomes something more than human. But the price of knowledge may be everything he’s ever known. In this gripping sci-fi epic packed with mystery, artificial intelligence, and cosmic secrets, The Chosen Code explores the question: What if the key to the universe chose the most unlikely person to protect it? Prepare for a journey beyond stars, across timelines, and into the mind of a boy chosen by a forgotten intelligence... to guard the last code of creation. The Chosen Code – Your curiosity is the first level. Are you ready to unlock the next?

Followers of a Million Concealed Charms, make your kill..." The Public Safety System said, "Dawn has broken, and no one died last night. The cyberpsychotics has killed all the monsters. Those who are alive, please speak." Li Pan said, "First of all, I'm not a cyberpsychotic, I'm just a little too spiritually aware."
