evolution

[Dark Urban Fantasy / System / Antihero] In the rain-soaked streets of Tokyo, monsters hide in plain sight. They wear human skin, mimic human voices, and rot from the inside out. They are the Zwitter. Jin Kurosawa is not a hero. He is a cleaner. A specialized executioner following a strict code: The Kaishaku Protocol. Armed with the Ignis-Void System—ancient weaponry disguised as harmless metal cylinders—Jin hunts the mimics that infest society's highest echelons. To the world, he is a wealthy medical student. To the monsters, he is the "Red Line," the last thing they see before their stolen flesh is returned to the void. But when a hunt reveals a creature evolving beyond the database's knowledge, Jin realizes the rot goes deeper than he thought. "Mercy is not saving them. Mercy is ending them." Warning: Contains graphic violence, body horror, and a cold-blooded protagonist.

Mio was the worst healer in Tokyo. F-grade, dead weight. Her party kept her around out of pity until they did the math and left her bleeding in an endless cathedral. Something ancient was waiting there. It offered her a Class that devours its hosts—a path of power that claimed the lives of the three Biomancers who came before her. Mio said yes anyway. She’d already felt the sting of a slow death; what was one more monster in her veins? The Bureau wants a weapon. Her sister wants her home for dinner. Mio agreed to both. Not like she had a choice anyway. [?] Biomancer (n): A practitioner of biomancy; one who manipulates biological life, from cells to organisms, to heal, transform, or control living matter.

What is the fundamental purpose behind humanity’s evolution of emotions? Can such strategic evolution—rooted in the primal drive to survive and thrive—truly be classified as intelligence? If the answer is yes, then artificial intelligence and mechanical silicon-based intelligence must qualify as well. Is calculating faster the ultimate goal of artificial intelligence? Does swifter signal transmission and quicker computation inherently guarantee a greater advantage? Why do planets, interstellar debris, comets, and other celestial bodies across the universe harbor microbes and life forms, yet to date, no trace of robots or AI-driven bio-robots has ever been discovered on any of them?

In a futuristic world, humans evolved beyond anyone’s imagination. Discovering new races, facing dangers, and almost facing extinction several times over, yet, as always, they adapted—becoming lords and obtaining their Domains on distant planets. The world was filled with terrifying creatures, those deadly creatures that plagued every race, every planet. In the year 7026, like every year, a large group of eighteen-year-old teenagers finally left Earth to awaken and challenge different Domains. Among them was Neil… Injected with the awakening fluid, Neil awakened two skills only to be betrayed, kidnapped and thrown in a death zone. While others received blessings, powerful abilities and grand titles, Neil awakened with synergy so pathetic—so pitifully low that it drew laughter, scorn, and even disgust. But that wasn't the worst part. Betrayed and cornered inside the death zone, Neil had two choices: Give up… or keep suffering the extreme torment again and again. A death trap with no exit and no chance of survival, the only option was to slaughter the creatures of nightmare. A domain with impossible difficulty, extreme monstrosities… Finally!! He became a lord! Becoming the first to conquer the highest-class domain, creating the strongest legion… Mythic Class army of Giants, Dragons, and more!!

Elias Kane overdosed in a slum hospital. His heart stopped. The doctors gave up. Street rat. Orphan. Nobody. That's all Elias was supposed to be—another forgotten kid in Ashwell's filthy slums, stealing bread to survive one more day. Then a stranger's prayer reached something vast and terrible. Sanctus answered. Elias woke marked. Thrown into a nightmare realm where time moves differently, Elias must defeat one hundred demons to earn his power—alone, with nothing but golden flames and a voice that promises: "You are Mine. I am with you." Three years of hell. Three days on Earth. One hundred demons burned to ash. But survival was just the beginning. When he returns, Elias isn't the boy who left. He's faster. Stronger. Sharper. Powers that took others months to master? He learned in years of survival. Demons that disciples can't see? He's killed a hundred. Now at Aspencrest Academy, Elias faces a new battlefield: proving that divine favor doesn't need a pedigree. That power earned in blood and fire trumps power inherited through bloodlines. That a boy from the gutters can stand among saints. He didn't ask to be chosen. But he'll damn well finish what was started.

On the day known as the Great Awakening, the barrier separating mortals, spirits, and gods shattered without warning. Divine influence poured into the world like rain and the world was forever changed. Aren Cross stood at the very top of that new world, one of the strongest Hunters to ever live. For that strength, he was betrayed. In his final moments, Aren attempted to evolve once more, to abandon humanity and ascend as a god. He failed. But, instead of death, Aren awakens in his high school classroom, moments before his first bloodline awakening ceremony. This time, with knowledge of the future, he will choose the strongest Evolutions. Water and Fire are opposing elements? Why not pick both? Wings or Burrowing Traits? Let me take them all.

Everyone at K High University called Vaibhav a loser. They thought he was weak. They thought he was scared. They thought he was nothing special. They were wrong. Vaibhav wasn’t restraining himself because he was weak— he restrained himself because he was stronger and more talented than everyone around him. And when his master finally reveals the truth behind his bloodline, the masks fall, and the lies collapse. A power feared by Gods. Desired by a Demon. And erased from history itself. To survive his journey across the Universe—and the enemies who will soon hunt him—Vaibhav must break every limit he once placed on himself. No more hiding. No more restraint. No more pretending. This is the rise of the boy the world mocked— into a force the heavens themselves must learn to fear.

The Universe is a Tree, and Arthur is its only Key!" Millions of years ago, the 'Ancient World Tree' gave birth to three realms: Leaf, Flower, and Fruit. From the heart (Core) of this tree, an extremely rare species was born, through whom the divine power of the tree itself flowed. They were the parents of the 'Cosmic Egg'—the guardians of that mysterious egg, which is the key to the supreme power of the three universes. A Great Destruction changed everything, but that key has now returned in the form of Arthur. The 'Cosmic Egg' has merged within Arthur, granting him that ancient power for which even the gods crave. While the rest of the world's hunters are evolving themselves with mediocre powers of 2 or 3 leaves, Arthur faces the most difficult challenge. To evolve, he must find rare 7-leaf remains, the fragrance of divine flowers, and the taste of immortal fruits. Arthur must reclaim his lost heritage and confront the forces that destroyed his (cosmic egg)parents and his world. This journey, starting from the Leaf and reaching the Fruit, is the pinnacle of adventure, revenge, and evolution. The grand saga begins...

A 40-year-old man suddenly dies and is reincarnated in a world devastated by zombies—but instead of becoming a hero or a survivor, he wakes up as a zombie girl.

All Raiden wanted to do was to farm quietly. After dying in his old world and waking up in the body of a freshly graduated nobody in a world full of monsters that are bigger than the tallest skyscrapers, Raiden made a quick, sensible decision: avoiding danger at all costs. Forget becoming a battle master and monster-infested frontiers, he just wanted to take his little sister Sylvia and retire to their inherited farm to raise sheep. Peaceful, profitable, and most importantly, safe. His master plan? Buy the cheapest Woolie in the market, shear its wool, and live off the profits. Simple, right? What could go wrong? As Murphy's Law states, anything that can go wrong will go wrong. The moment he brought his adorable sheep, his cheat system activated, letting him appraise and improve the potential of anything he touched. And everything started going downhill from there. A few enhancements later, his Woolie is producing luxury wool that has fashion designers losing their minds. And unlike other sheep, this one loved to train and battle, so much that it loses half of it before the sell period. "It's fine," Raiden assured himself. "It's just a sheep. A very profitable sheep." Then it evolves. And keeps evolving. And suddenly his "harmless farm animal" is creating thunderclouds that can destroy a whole continent. He thought the problem was only with his sheep; the rest of the Terra beasts would be peaceful. The real problem, though? Every Terran he rescues thinks the same way: "Master is so kind! He doesn't force us to battle! We must train extra hard to protect him!" Now, all his supposedly peaceful, peace-loving Terrans are challenging wild Terrans to duels while he chucks pills to control his Blood Pressure in the background. His genius little sister is landing scholarships left and right, and the Continental Alliance won't stop sending him tournament invitations he desperately wants to decline. All Raiden wants is to farm in peace, pay off his debts, and maybe—just maybe survive long enough to see Sylvia graduate. Is that really too much to ask? Apparently, yes.

The universe had been split into two halves. One half contained the celestials, and the other contained the demons. The demons and celestials had always lived in a constant conflict, always attempting to eradicate the other with every chance that they got. For thousands of years, the celestials had developed new ways to oppress the demons instead of trying to co exist without conflict, for it was their nature to rid the universe of demons. Amidst the whole chaos was Dean, a young adult that lived a normal and fruitless life. From birth as a demon, he had always strived to become someone of importance, but it seemed almost impossible due to his poor ability to increase his demonic rank. During his aimless journey, he came across a wave of celestial energy that mysteriously found its way into the demonic realm. He absorbed the energy becoming half demon and half celestial. During his evolution, his view of the world changed. He was always taught to see the celestials as a foe, but ever since he became part celestial, the pure hatred that he was taught to feel towards the celestials lessened, and he couldn't decide who was worth fighting for. Will Dean stand by the demonic race, protecting them from the celestials, and ignore the fact that they had always looked down on him for being weak? Or will his anger drive him to side with the celestials and being chaos upon the demonic race?

In the cycle 3163, far into the interstellar Era where humans use neural technology, humankind is oppressed with existential threats from the appearing vortexes. Once rulers of countless worlds, the human dominion has fallen apart, leaving only a shaky outpost called The New Facility, the last echo of a broken empire, of humanity. Beyond its borders, space itself has gone wild. Vortexes tear through the skies, temporal rains fall from a different timeline, climate conditions become unpredictable, and gravity suddenly distorts, throwing populations into peril and devastation. After years of harrowing survival, humankind learned to counter these unnatural forces after an encounter with the Vortex System, a system of unknown origin which was found inside the vortexes after the first humans entered them. The surviving ones came back to the real world, but not as humans anymore. They became powerful beings, "falling upwards" along the path of neural unlock, and forging their bodies and sense of being into surreal entities, becoming Unbounds. When a cadet named Bale witnesses a colossal eye 'staring' at him from a different dimension, his fate begins to unravel. Soon after, he discovers that his purpose is more than he ever hopes for. As humanity clings to survival, Bale’s awakening will test the meaning of being human itself. Between cosmic horrors, neural evolution, and the slow decay of mankind, one question remains: When humanity faces extinction, who decides what remains human?

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Or will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?

Cole's life ended under the headlights of a spinning Mercedes, but he instead awakened in a rain-soaked Portland alley, transmigrated into a younger, more responsive body. He is the host of the Apex Predator System, a metaphysical framework centered around a Predator Essence that allows him to consume and manifest the abilities of the Wesen he kills. Unlike a Grimm, who merely hunts, Cole evolves by absorbing the traits of his prey—whether it’s the strength of a Blutbad or the utility of a Hundjäger. While navigating a complex and intimate alliance with the Hexenbiest Adalind Schade, he must manage his Essence States to prevent "Rampant" instability from overstimulation. Somewhere between the professional masks of Portland's elite and the hidden world of the Wesen Council, Cole utilizes his Predator Sense to track targets and climb the supernatural food chain. As he balances his human conscience against the system's drive for evolution, he realizes he is becoming an anomaly that both sides of the ancient war have every reason to fear.
