evolution

All Raiden wanted to do was to farm quietly. But his sheep kept fighting!! 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.

"Miss Butterfly, I’m really the ancestor of the Demon Slayer Corps." Shinobu Kocho smiled politely, her eyes clearly saying: 'Your brain is broken.' She poured me a cup of tea and whispered like she was comforting a child, "Sure, let's get you a full-body check-up first." The tea was great.

So if there are any mistakes in writing or language that are difficult to understand, please understand. I will keep trying to be a better writer. And you can see the changes in my writing style from chapter to chapter.} ------------------------------------ Hello, my loyal readers! Thank you so much for still being here and accompanying me on this journey until now. TROC started three years ago, and it was the first project I truly dedicated myself to as a serious author. As a new writer back then, I am well aware that there were many flaws in the early chapters, but your unwavering support is what allowed me to learn and grow over time. Finally, we have reached the turning point: The Final Volume — Sunk of Demon War. Just like the previous volumes, I expect this one to reach 200+ chapters, or perhaps even more. My goal is to complete Volume 3 within this year, God willing. A few technical notes: Encyclopedia of Species: Information regarding the Warbeast Species and other Mana Species will not be included in this volume. Instead, I will be compiling them into a dedicated Side Story collection, formatted like a world-building manual. The "Definitive" Edit: Once Volume 3 is concluded, I plan to conduct a massive overhaul and edit starting from Chapter 1 to ensure the entire series meets the quality standards I’ve developed today. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Bonus Chapter Event: Let's Finish TROC This Year! It looks like sticking to just one chapter a day won't be enough to hit my goal of completing TROC by the end of the year.

[Congratulations, Host! You have defeated the 777th Hero Party!] [Eternal Quest has been completed!] [Final scenario is unfolding!] “Even… if I can’t kill you… I will rid this world of your existence!“ Maximus, the hero teetering at the edge of death, yelled. In contrast, the Demon Lord just waved his hands dismissively. He had been bored out of his mind either way. Even if the hero succeeded, he would do his enemy the greatest favor. As a bright flash enveloped the Demon King, he just closed his eyes and smiled. “Time to go home.” Aiden was already planning what he would do once he got home. Getting a new console was a must, and premium snacks. Oh, and he would get his parents a condo. However, as the flash faded away, the sight that greeted him wasn’t of the Earth he remembered. The place was ruined! Monsters lurked everywhere. Buildings were crumbled and turned to dust. All buildings but one. The very same one he was standing on. “What the hell is going on here?“ [Congratulations, Host! As a reward for your excellent performance, you have inherited the Apocalypse Landlord system!] “Eh? I went from a demon lord to a property manager!?“ discord server for character arts and more: https://discord.gg/vJdu2DqnwR

In the remote countryside village of Grimwood, a boy named Vlad grew up chasing that legend with unwavering determination, driven by a promise he had once made to the moon. However, at sixteen, during the Awakening Ritual, he was branded a failure—awakening only a pathetic D-Rank talent that promised nothing but mediocrity. Yet while others mocked his impossible dream, Vlad refused to give up. Together with his childhood companion Chloe and the friends he would meet within the walls of Arcane Academy, he continued moving forward. What no one knew was that he had awakened something far greater than mere talent. [Legacy System Initialized... Welcome, Host.] As Vlad takes his first steps toward an impossible dream, ancient mysteries begin to unravel and primordial beings that have slumbered for countless ages slowly begin to awaken, their attention inexplicably drawn to Vlad, a D-Ranked boy. --- It's a slow-paced fantasy academy story filled with action, comedy, and a lot of heartwarming romantic moments that will leave you grinning under your blanket at night. No overexaggerated moments of everyone calling the MC pathetic or trash because of his talent. It's a one-time thing and then it's done. Once the protagonist proves his strength, he won't be mindlessly mocked. No over-the-top cliche drama of spoiled noble kids picking fights with the commoner MC in the academy. There are only mild moments to keep the story grounded in reality.

William, bound to a mysterious power that transcends reality itself, sees this fractured world not as an end… but as the beginning of something far greater.

Kael, a reclusive and antisocial man, died alone in his apartment, consumed by frustration and regret. But his tale didn't end in darkness.

Reborn in the Harry Potter universe, Tyler Blake starts off as a quiet nobody… until he steps into Hogwarts and begins stirring chaos. From robbing Gringotts to shaking the Ministry, from freeing Gellert Grindelwald to toying with Voldemort, Tyler flips the entire wizarding world upside down. He doesn’t want to be a Dark Lord… but somehow, the title keeps chasing him. When a “obscurus” starts rewriting everything, what kind of storm will follow?

"Everything is a host. To concepts that shape reality. To powers that reflect who we are — and who we believe ourselves to be. In a world where Divinities rule absolutes and every soul carries hidden potential, worth is not given. It is measured. Tested. And taken. When a boy awakens a power that should not exist — one without limits, without fractures — he becomes the axis of a silent war between those who define reality… and those who wish to own it. The question is no longer what power you hold — but whether your existence is enough to justify it. It is rigged. It is rigged in our favor."

Deep within a primeval forest where spiritual energy saturates the air, a colony of white scale lizards survives in a hidden cave. One of them is different. Not larger or stronger, but touched by something unseen—a glowing interface only it can perceive. A voice announces the awakening of the **Evolution System**, rewarding the lizard for feeding with mysterious Evolution Points. At first, growth is subtle: sharper awareness, faint curiosity, and adaptations that allow it to survive beyond its primitive instincts. When sunlight first assaults its eyes, the system intervenes, evolving its vision so it can witness the vibrant world beyond the cave. The forest is no sanctuary. Humans—beings of higher intelligence and ruthless ambition—hunt and kill within its depths. When a dying cultivator attempts to steal the lizard’s body through a forbidden soul extraction technique, the system reacts, cleansing the intruding essence but leaving fragments of human memory behind. The lizard inherits echoes of another life: concepts of technology, knowledge, and mortality. With understanding comes hunger. The corpse of the fallen human becomes its first significant source of power. Evolution Points flow as it consumes, enabling mutations to its teeth, organs, and scales. Each enhancement reshapes the lizard, transforming it from a fragile creature into something stronger—something capable of surviving in a world ruled by cultivators and predatory beasts. Awakening after its transformations, the lizard discovers it has grown larger and denser, now the size of a small chick. It is no longer just a cave dweller. It is evolving. But evolution is not mercy. It is change. And in a world where power defines existence, the question remains: What will the white lizard become?

In a time when extraordinary abilities known as 'Sparks' defined both heroes and villains, humanity now faces the brink of extinction and domination. Eighty-seven years prior, the Singularity Event devastated civilization. At that moment, every person with a Spark lost control all at once, leading to destruction across cities and altering the fabric of reality. Amid the chaos, one SSS-Rank hero,, made a profound sacrifice—he absorbed all the chaotic Sparks into his celestial fire and detonated himself high in the stratosphere, ultimately saving humanity from complete destruction. Today, in a world where uncontrolled abilities alter flesh, metal, and existence, an experiment known as Subject Zero emerges from decades of statis. Born out of suffering and nurtured by death, Zero is driven by an instinct to adapt in a world where heroes are mere legends, monsters lurk in reality, and survival requires constant transformation. ___ This work is an original story, inspired by the idea of superpowered societies like those in My Hero Academia, but it tells a darker, horror-sci-fi take on evolution and survival

What is a monster? Humans normally define monsters as fear inducing, bloodthirsty creatures bent on destruction. But to Noah? Monsters were the humans who despised him without justifications, who taught him to loathe himself just for being human. Life was hell, a hell that was surrounded by “monsters”. Until one day, the world changed. Humans were suddenly graced by a Divine voice, one that warned of their extinction, but also promised them power. They were bestowed with a system, a system to aid their fight for survival, to survive against monsters. And when humanity was given that chance to survive, Noah chose to walk a path of a tamer, to befriend the very monsters that were threatening the humans' extinction. As he tamed the monsters, learned from them, bonded with them, shedding the last remnants of what it was to be human. Noah began to wonder, is it wrong to be considered a monster? Feedback is definitely appreciated, good or bad, let's make the story good together. I would like to note that the main character isn’t completely ruthless, he's more chaotically neutral. There’s a lot of good stories out there with ruthless, bloodthirsty, cold hearted main characters so if that’s what your interest in then I’m sorry to disappoint you.
