all of the planets wake up
they're really gods that have been slumbering for millennia, circling the king god, the perpetually sleeping sun
so anyway, they wake up and start going to war. all the planets fighting each other, carnage on a cosmic scale
then the sun wakes up and shit really gets real

A giant star that is collapsing into a black hole but is rotating so fast that it actually becomes a black ring.

Aliens come to our solar system and send a powerful gas to earth's atmosphere. Anyone touched by the gas goes into a coma. Soon, the gas goes back to the alien ships who fly away but most people were affected. Earth has stopped, and only few people have escaped from the gas.
A few weeks pass and everything has stopped. But the comatose are still in a coma.
Our hero, Plucky Anon, discovers that comatose people cannot be killed after seeing his (affected) little sister fall from a roof and remain unharmed. We later discover that he pushed her off because he is jealous of her.
Plucky Anon goes about town experimenting on the comatose and finally has sex with a real girl, altough asleep. As months pass the comatose remain alive and unmoving, not even needing to breathe. Plucky Anon has a few close calls with a band of looters, and develops parkour skills.
After a full Earth year has passed, the aliens come back to Earth. Their ships station over every big city. They suddenly make a very violent and sudden noise, which confuses Plucky Anon in the middle of an experiment on a comatose. He slips and hits his head and dies but it's okay because this isn't his story.
When the alien ships stop the sound every comatose awakens. The aliens send beautiful rainbows everywhere and suddenly the people who have awakened can only speak one language, the language of aliens.
They are now immortals, the alien say. Also, they will never age and their bodies will never evolve. They are indestructible.
The aliens thank the earthlings for their time and leave (to be seen again on book 78, where it is revealed that they vampire'd mortality out of the humans).
Frontiers, language and culture mean nothing after a few decades. There's no need for food.
Since no one can age everyone meets everyone and people now have thousands and thousands of acquaintances. Orgasm cannot be attained, but no one can get pregnant anyway.
Everyone starts to read and write and paint: with infinite times all of the arts can be enjoyed to their fullest extents, and anyway there's really nothing better to do.
Five hundred years later the earthling society revolves around finding something to do.
Some people do crimes for fun. Others play at being police officers. Truly annoying people are packed and strapped to giant rockets and sent into orbit. Even in space they do not die.
Some earthlings even travel the infinite breaches of space, using their immortality to reach another world.
