{{Data:{{PAGENAME}}|format=INFOBOX_Location}}


Time spools out before you, curving almost imperceptibly, racing to meet itself on the other side. If you could stand above it -- far, far, far above it -- you'd see the truth: time is a donut, and we are all but grains of powdered sugar atop it. What is, will be, and what was, is, and what will be, was. Your head starts to spin a little as you remember the future.

You will open your eyes in a tiny apartment in a huge high-rise thousands of stories tall. You will walk over to the window and look out to see the city that is Seaside Megalopolis. It stretches all the way from the Nearby Plains Golf Community to the Desert Beach Estates to the Big Mountain Housing Projects For the Poor or Otherwise Unpleasant. Then you'll remember that you live on the ground floor of your crappy apartment building, and that window was just a Handy Exposition Viewscreen 3000.

You will then start getting your narrative in present tense, because it's the future, we get it, no need to run that joke into the ground.

* The choice adventures [[Savior Faire]] and [[The Savorier Savior]] (and subsequently the other choice adventures triggered by them) do not occur while the player is on the [[Future]] quest.
* It is possible to access this part of KoL through teleportitis, if you have an [[empty agua de vida bottle]] in your inventory.
* See the [[Seaside Megalopolis Noncombats]] page for an overview of non-quest choice adventures.

This is one of the adventure zones accessed from Memories, in the Corners of your Mind after gazing into an empty agua de vida bottle. It is only available with a bottle in inventory. The quest Future takes place primarily in this zone.

A primary stat of 150 is suggested. If your main stat isn't high enough, you'll see the following message:

The flame-topped buildings of the Seaside Megalopolis, flanked by billboards with giant Asian women on them, make you have second thoughts about adventuring here. Sure, it's only a memory, so it can't hurt you...or can it?
(It is recommended that you have at least 150 <mainstat> to adventure here.)
