In the far, far, incredibly distant future, mankind has unlocked pathways to an extraordinary existence. We now live on other worlds and raise our children in the light of different stars.
To live in such a time is unthinkably grand. Some of the following tales are letters written to pals from the past; others are snippets of a larger story I am writing, and still others are miscellaneous pieces of my universe. Regardless, they are about the children of the future. These are their stories.

To Be Human: The Beginning of the End (μΈκ°λ΅κ² μ΄κΈ°: μ’ λ§μ μμ)
The infinite cosmos holds unimaginable secrets of wormholes, time travel, dimensions, and Realms. Two Realms locked in a war that has gone on longer than humans have existed in the dimensions beyond the third.

In order to find peace among its brethren, they must live among the darkness and embrace the chaos through pain. The One Between makes a Pact with its brother The Lord of No Light, to learn secrets unspoken and find answers to questions unanswered for eons. Is there a God among all this chaos? During this painful journey, the Knowledge The One Between seeks may be the answer but, how much Knowledge can be gained without destroying one's mind? Will the chaos from The Realm of No Light and their brother, destroy their Light and evolve them into a monster they fear-a Being of Chaos? The One Between is willing to sacrifice everything, even its identity, to find what it's looking for and a solution to end the wars. Can humanity evolve from its own destruction? Is Knowledge worth one's sanity? What does it truly mean to be 'human'? The Final Judgement weighs on its conscience.

You are oppressed by your future self to walk the one and only road. Knowing the future changes nothing - this knowledge has already been written into your fate. Time travel is meaningless for the same reason - all your meddlings had also become a part of your fate before you even embarked on your journey through time. Could this strange duality of free will and fate be challenged? If so, what would it take? How far are you willing to go to change your dark fate? Is the risk of erasing the universe from existence worth your brighter future?Complete

Akropolis
"Any thought you ever had; memories, desires, your fears and your dreams, are all recorded and stored safely in the Quantum Cloud for your eventual revival. Death is now merely a transitional period to the next stage of your existence. As a QUBIT (quantum processing biosynthetic), you will experience a life free of disease and suffering. Time is no longer your enemy. Regret is a thing of the past. Each new day brings the promise of endless possibilities, spent in the pursuit of your own happiness, guiltless with the knowledge that there are no longer earthly constraints to inhibit you. This is the life you have always wanted. Welcome to your new beginning..." Akropolis is a city at the end of times, a sanctuary where the brightest and best have been housed since the last Great War. A genome defect has afflicted the majority of the population and scientists are desperate to find a cure. In the meantime, man has found his own salvation in the form of the QUBIT (quantum processing bio-synthetic), an android that is capable of prolonging life almost indefinitely, and yet what makes them human in the first place has been lost in the transition. The ruling council believes that salvation is nigh, but whether that hope arrives in time is questionable. The city's future depends upon the actions of a few individuals, all of whom are struggling with their own mortality. Quentin is the boy who dreams of death. Mia is the tortured soul. Trey is the soldier that defines duty. Misao is the future of the ruling council. Claire is the girl with a secret that will rock the foundations of their entire civilization. Unbeknownst to them, the entire fate of Akropolis lies in their hands. Either humanity will find a way to survive or it will sink slowly into the sea of extinction.Complete

MotherBot
In the year 2285, Earth is a wasteland, its survivors confined to biomes run by a corrupt corporate entity known as the Galactic Alliance of Interstellar Agencies (GAIA). Inside these sterile domes, life depends on advanced AI, cybernetic enhancements, and ruthless experimentation. Hawke, a former soldier with cybernetic legs, wakes after 85 years in organic stasis to find herself in a world where survival comes at the cost of humanity. Armed with her grit and malfunctioning tech, she must navigate a desolate wasteland, evade mutant creatures, and uncover the truth behind the cataclysmic "Earth Incident" that changed everything. At the heart of it all is MotherBot, a seven-foot-tall AI designed to save lives but programmed for something far darker. As her code begins to glitch, MotherBot questions her role in GAIA's twisted experiments and the ethical lines she's been forced to cross. Together with a ragtag group of outcasts-a mysterious woman with enhanced senses, a thief with nothing to lose, and a haunted lover from her past-Hawke must face betrayal, cybernetic conspiracies, and her own fractured memories to save what's left of humanity. But in a world where AI logic clashes with human morality, what price will they pay for the truth? Dive into MotherBot, a gripping dystopian sci-fi adventure of survival, rebellion, and the blurred boundaries between human and machine.Complete
