Halo Hundreds

Ever since the end of the Covenant War in 2553, humanity endured. After the Didact’s assault on Earth, humanity endured. After the rise of Cortana and her Created—when fear spread across human and alien space alike—humanity endured. And when the Banished declared all of mankind their enemy, humanity still endured, prevailing with grit, sacrifice, and unyielding will. With so many battles fought and so many victories paid for in blood, Spartan-II Daloka often wondered if he would ever see it. The soil beneath his feet. The raw dirt of Mother Earth itself. He doubted it would ever happen. That dream—once precious, once alive, had long been cast aside in favor of survival. For humanity. For family. For his Spartan brothers and sisters. For the mission. What Daloka never expected was for that dead dream to return. After the UNSC and the Master Chief dealt a decisive blow to the Banished, Daloka was reassigned by Dr. Catherine Halsey herself—tasked with guarding her “eggheads,” a specialized team of scientists working on a classified project only Halsey truly understood. That assignment would change everything. A catastrophic malfunction—triggered by unforeseen variables—ripped the ship Sister of Flames from known space and hurled it into an alternate reality. A world impossibly familiar… and breathtakingly different. Now stranded on a strange version of Earth, Daloka and the surviving UNSC crew must adapt, rebuild, and survive on foreign soil that feels hauntingly close to home. But they will not remain alone for long. One hundred delinquent teenagers—cast down from orbit and hardened by survival—soon arrive at their doorstep, igniting immediate tension, distrust, and fear between the two groups. And worse still… Others are coming. From the Ark. From the ground below. Witness the clash of futures and pasts as survivors of the post–Human-Covenant War are forced to coexist with children shaped by a brutal world—while ancient conflicts, new alliances, and the remnants of humanity’s wars threaten to ignite once more. Survival is no longer just about fighting enemies. It’s about learning who to trust.

Meruem-HxH

The world believes the Chimera Ant King is dead. After the explosion of the Miniature Rose, the royal palace of East Gorteau is erased from existence, its ruins buried, its history silenced by the Hunter Association. Humanity moves on, convinced that the greatest threat it ever faced has been eliminated. But death did not claim everything. Bound by a devotion that transcended species, logic, and power, Meruem and Komugi survived. Through an unprecedented fusion of Nen—born not from ambition, but from absolute attachment—the poison was neutralized, and life was preserved. The cost, however, was immense. Meruem awakens changed. His overwhelming power has diminished. His monstrous form has softened, becoming almost human. And for the first time, he is no longer driven by conquest. Komugi, now able to see, remains at his side—unaware of the true nature of the power she awakened, yet inseparable from the king whose fate is now bound to hers. Together, they leave the ruins behind. What follows is not a story of domination, but of wandering. As Meruem travels through the human world, he is forced to confront questions no king was ever meant to face: What is strength, when it can no longer impose itself? What is humanity, when seen from within rather than above? And what remains of a ruler, once the throne has vanished? Meanwhile, unseen forces begin to stir. Hunters sense an absence where power once reigned. Nen reacts to a presence that should not exist. And the fragile balance between species, history, and memory begins to shift. This is the story of a fallen king—not seeking redemption, nor forgiveness—but understanding. A quiet journey across a world that was never meant to survive him.
