Tyranid Hive Fleets

Hyperthymesia. Those with this condition can remember every detail of their lives from something as significant as the world’s turning point to something as small and as insignificant as a minor fleeting thought. They cannot forget and their thirst for knowledge allows them to be considered a genius in some senses. Legend has it that Ji Yushi was this kind of genius. In addition, it was said that he was gay, and very beautiful. As soon as the news that he was going to support Tianqiong’s seventh squad broke out, it sent everyone buzzing. Everyone knew that the captain of the seventh squad, Song Qinglan, was a hoodlum and deeply homophobic. He not only relied on his super-powerful abilities to become the dark horse on the battlefield in less than two years, but he also hates it when those at the top forces a flower vase* into his squad. Sure enough, Song Qinglan announced in front of everyone, “Useful? Us brothers are going out there working ourselves to the bone, we don’t need a little genius who can only speedread quantum waves!” Later. The squad was forced into a dire situation during their mission. That beautiful little genius calmly continued, every gunfire hitting the mark, his fighting power peaking. Song Qinglan begged in front of everyone, “Adviser Ji, stay.” At the end, he added, “I’ll work myself to the bone for you.” - Ji Yushi had a secret. He would often be awake at night, suffering from memory overload and recurring nightmares. There was only one thing that could let him fall asleep peacefully. And that was Song Qinglan.

Its as been an life long dream to be in mobile fleet, now the world in chaos not only I am in in but sergeant of the biggest army and eng call the sky dogs, and to engineer the carrier jet, talk about need to flight, this is my story

A world plunged into chaos. The sun never shines with full brightness, and shadows lurk. Crows and vultures feast on the corpses as the few survivors fight for their lives. The kingdoms of humans, elves, and dwarves, allied for decades, are forced to coexist with monstrous magical beasts… and the most terrifying of all: the nightmares, commonly known as demons. For over thirty years of endless war, ten emperors managed to unite the races to face the demonic threat and the dragons, creatures of incalculable power. But the peace that followed was fleeting. The ten empires flourished, but the emperors' thirst for power became unbearable. The Sun Emperor, the most powerful of them all, ruled with wisdom, but his growing power awakened the envy of the others. The remaining nine, seeking their own supremacy, made a pact with the demons and unleashed a new war. In their desperation for more power, they sought to seal themselves, trusting that the chaos they would unleash in the future could be even more devastating. Only the Sun Emperor could stop them, but his decision was a difficult one: let the demon army ravage the continent or seal the nine, facing the eternal dilemma of whether to trust the future or not. In the end, he chose to seal them, hoping that future generations would have the strength to confront the demons' awakening… but nightmares always find a way to escape.

As the winds of time and change blow throughout the many worlds within the galaxy, a man and his tiny crew must grow to become leaders of a prosperous civilization to fight against extinction brought upon them by an unknown virus that closely resembles a hive mind. The man unbeknownst to himself becomes the hope of a new generation.

At the dawn of the New Era Calendar, humanity broke free from the confines of Earth and established a new order beyond the Milky Way. In this vast expanse of the stars, filled with both the unknown and hope, humanity witnessed rapid technological advancements and unprecedented expansion of its civilization. The annihilation of the insectoid race was celebrated as a historic victory, with the Earth Celestial Force securing its dominance. Meanwhile, corporate giants seized the opportunity to stretch their influence to far-off galaxies, exploiting resources and colonizing new worlds, propelling humanity into an era of unparalleled interstellar prosperity. Yet, beneath the veneer of progress lay hidden perils. Driven by greed and ambition, humanity neglected to respect the unknown. An exploratory fleet, jointly deployed by the Earth Celestial Force and corporate alliances, inadvertently ventured into a mysterious, energy-laden star system. There, they uncovered an ancient ruin, seemingly belonging to a species far older and more powerful than the insectoid race. However, the activation of this relic awakened a dormant threat buried deep in the cosmic void. The remnants of the insectoid race began to resurface, having evolved far beyond any prior records. Worse still, a new horror emerged—massive creatures known as Star Beasts. Star Beasts, colossal entities comparable in size to small planets, possess the power to obliterate fleets and consume worlds. Their behavior defies all known patterns, yet it seems to be driven by a purpose that transcends biological instinct. Their arrival disrupted the fragile balance of the universe and fractured the tenuous alliances within human civilization. Under the pressure of dwindling resources and escalating conflict, corporate factions began pursuing their own interests, while the Earth Celestial Force struggled to rally the scattered powers of humanity to resist the twin threats of the insectoids and the Star Beasts. As the war escalated, more secrets about the Star Beasts came to light. These creatures were likely not products of natural evolution but creations of an intelligence beyond human comprehension. Additionally, the resurgence of the insectoids revealed a shocking truth: they were never humanity’s ultimate enemy but merely pawns in a far greater cosmic game. Faced with the dual crises of internal division and external invasion, humanity must find a way to strike a balance. Will they persist in their path of expansion and conquest, or will they choose to coexist with the unknown? The answer lies in a final, decisive battle that will determine the survival of their civilization.

Many years after the era of immortal cultivation, one day someone carelessly asked the Demon Queen, “I heard that the First Lady of the Demon Realm is your dear sister-friend?” Upon hearing this, the Demon Queen's eyebrows shot up and her almond-shaped eyes widened, “Dear sister-friend my ass, she stole my man!” No sooner had she spoken these words than the exceptionally handsome man beside her slowly shifted his gaze from the book in his hands and cast her a fleeting glance, making the inquirer feel as if the temperature in the hall had suddenly dropped, and their body had plunged into an icy cavern... The Demon Queen glared at the man nonchalantly, “Did I say something wrong?” It later became known that the Demon King's wife and the Demon Queen were once close friends who became enemies over a man, a scandal that spread across all realms.

But later... I heard that you and her... had a falling out over a man?” With a slight smile, the Demon King's wife gently sipped from her white porcelain teacup and said, “Did she say I stole her man?” After nodding in acknowledgment, “That is indeed the case!” The listener was taken aback, internally exclaiming, “So the rumors are true, did our Madam Wang actually have an affair with that Demon Queen?” While lost in thought, the listener heard the tea-drinker add another sentence, “But... she also stole my man after all!” The questioner's eyes widened, and their mouth gaped open. Before they could even take a breath of cool air in shock, So you two were swapping partners? At that moment, a sudden loud bang came from outside, and a voice bellowed like a mighty bell, “Boom...” “You said... who is your man?”

In a world where time itself is both a cage and a cycle, there is a truth darker than any shadow cast by the moon. Some things are destined to repeat, no matter how desperately one struggles to break free. Some souls are born to live their lives in endless loops, chained by forces they cannot understand, no matter how much they fight.

Also, although the setting is in a parallel world, all the songs, scripts and movies (although I will draw inspiration here and there), will be originals penned by yours truly (-‿◦).

In this cage...there was no afterlife... Within the birdcage...there were neither deities, nor captors... Life was simple and meaningless. Death was truly and bluntly, an end. The birds held captive in their cage were unable to escape, for no matter how starved or frantic a chick was, they couldn't dent steel with their soft beaks. Who could feed the starving birds? They couldn't even feed themselves? The birds, trapped in their infuriating prison and desperate for any food at all, celebrated in joy when a banquet started! Food for as far as their eyes wished to imagine! And what a FEAST it WAS! The survivors stood over the leftovers of their meals, their ravenous beaks licking away the blood staining their tainted feathers. They knew this solution wasn't sustainable, and rather than waste away by praying to a non-existent heaven, they grafted their own Gods out of the bones of their former kin. ___________________________________ "The Birdcage" is a world with a barrier made of an indestructible material at its edges, from earth to sky. Inside this confined land, lavish resources filled the fields for as far as one could wish for, though its inhabitants were alone without any other living creatures outside of themselves. The world was peaceful and prosperous, until an unknown cataclysmic plague swept the land, poisoning and rotting almost all natural resources and food that existed. The people, starving and in despair without so much as a god to pray to for help, resorted to the only food left in the entire birdcage. Themselves. After the ensuing frenzy, they forged a ritual for a chance at salvation. They created their own Gods known as, “Concepts,” that embodied their artificial beliefs and ideas, though their desperation only furthered the destruction of what was considered natural. The world is fading away. There’s no point in family, society, nor unity. Either find a fleeting, pointless escape, or succumb to your fate and be devoured by the starving.

Groggily opening his eyes, Alex rubbed the sleep from his eyelids, the sound of his own groggy voice echoing in his mind... "Wha...?' As he slowly sat up, the memories of the previous night came flooding back. He had been camping, trying to escape the struggles of his mundane life. The peacefulness of the night sky had been his solace, and he had spent hours gazing up at the stars, lost in thought. But then, he had seen it. A falling star, blazing across the sky like a tiny, celestial bullet. At first, he had thought it was just a meteor, a fleeting moment of beauty in the vast expanse of space. But as it drew closer, he realized with a start that it was something much, much bigger. Whoa...!" Alex's voice was barely above a whisper, but it was laced with a mix of awe and fear. The object was enormous, its size and speed making it look like a truck plummeting towards the earth. And then, in an instant, everything went black. Alex's eyes fluttered open once more, and he was met with an unfamiliar sight. He was no longer on the forest floor, surrounded by the quiet of the night. Instead, he was... "Where am I?" As his gaze adjusted to the dim light, he saw that he was inside some kind of ship. The walls were metallic, the air was stale, and the only sound was the soft hum of machinery. Alex's mind reeled as he struggled to comprehend what had just happened. "How did I get here?" he whispered, his voice shaking with a mix of fear and wonder. "What is this place?"
