A Homeward Journey on the Brink of Death

All country, place, and university names, personal names, and related scientific research in this novel, along with anything else that might touch on politics, are unrelated to reality. The story is a slow burn, so proceed with caution if you’re impatient. There is no System or rebirth, and none of the usual web-novel tropes. It features a central cast, technology-based enhancements, supernatural abilities, intrigue, and power plays. Expect both heartbreak and sweetness.

May 12, 2008 / September 1, 2018 / March 14, 2026 / December 31, 2034: each a moment when destinies intertwine.

September 1, 2018. On this ordinary day, a disaster caused by a conspiracy erupts, shattering the peace. Some are afraid, some retreat, and others defy the odds, stepping forward to face the challenge. I never understood why it all began, not until the day I died.

March 14, 2026. In the eighth year after the disaster began, I kill my teacher to protect my undercover identity. Trapped in the mire, I find that fate has played a cruel joke on me. I don’t understand why it all began, until I see the future of humanity.

December 31, 2034. The sixteenth year after the disaster erupted. It all feels like a dream, yet it is so real. I know an even harder challenge lies ahead. As I gaze at the stars, the light reflected from distant Spica has already foretold humanity’s future.

May 12, 2008. By 2035, it will all come to an end here. Humanity...

Hope...

Could it be real?

Of course. The light of hope lives in the hearts of you and me. At last, I understand it all: this journey across time, through dreams. Humanity will survive!
