A Future Without Destiny

Cardoso_746
In the vast and grand universe, beginnings and endings have always existed. Thrones symbolize power: kings and emperors rise, yet inevitably fall. There are no exceptions— all who hold power eventually succumb. Such is the fate of those who rule. While scientific and cosmological research seeks to explain the erosion of time and the workings of the universal temporal current, one question persists: is what we call “Destiny” merely chance… or something that truly exists? Is there a predetermined end for everything and everyone? Or is this idea born from human fragility, a desperate attempt to deceive ourselves with a future different from the one already conceived? Ryoumi was born into a Victorian-aesthetic world, where Renaissance minimalism blends with medieval style, layered atop an industrial revolution. In this setting, magical technology and science advance side by side, growing with each passing day. Driven by his family and inspired by his own dreams, Ryoumi is compelled to face hardship and work tirelessly to understand how the world truly functions. But what awaits him ahead? Amid rusted metal rails, transforming cities, and sparks of life that defy the inevitable, a final question arises: is Destiny an inescapable force on his path… or is there still room to change the course of the future?

SCP Foundation: The Sickly Girl Who Controls S-Class Witches

Traveling to a world where ghost stories and abnormal creatures are rampant, Serie not only becomes a beautiful, fragile, and sickly girl like a porcelain doll, but is also taken in by the salvation organization as an S-level abnormal creature and imprisoned in a steel fortress in the deep sea. But Serie didn't care, because she found that as long as she closed her eyes, those witches condensed by fear, desire and power would open their demon eyes on the other side of the world. They were walking taboos and also puppets dancing on Serie's fingertips. Each witch has a completely different form and ability. Complete tasks, light up the skill tree, and continuously upgrade and evolve. Beautiful and powerful S-class witches appeared one after another like mushrooms after rain—— "The Witch of Pleasure plunges New York into a lewd abyss?" "The Dread Devourer ate the Golden Gate Bridge clean?" "The Slaughter Witch rules the battlefield, weaving nightmares for her enemies with threads of blood?" "The ruling witch made the organization's top executives betray her and become her loyal servants?" Alarms on the radio sounded one after another, and the employees were talking about Serie's trumpet, some with fear, some with admiration, and some with vigilance, but they would never know that the culprit of all this was that useless and cute girl who was tied with chains and restraints and did nothing every day except act coquettishly and wait for food. Serie said nothing, just buried her face in the pillow and continued to play the simulation game: "Let's open a new account... I want to try a different evolution path this time."
