evolution

Lionel was an ordinary man from a mundane world—ambitious, curious, and frustrated by the limits of human potential. His life ended abruptly, only for his consciousness to awaken once more in an entirely different reality: the Marvel Universe. Reborn with fragmented memories of his past life intact, Lionel discovers that he is no longer bound by the rules of normal humans. Along with his second chance comes a singular anomaly—the Super Enlightenment System. Unlike systems that grant instant power, this one rewards understanding. Insight, realization, and mental breakthroughs become the true path to strength. In a world ruled by gods, mutants, super-soldiers, and cosmic entities, Lionel starts at the bottom. Every observation of science beyond human limits, every battle analyzed, every law of energy, space, or power he comprehends feeds the System. Enlightenment grants him abilities—enhanced cognition, accelerated evolution, adaptive physiology, and eventually the capacity to grasp forces even the Sorcerer Supreme and cosmic beings struggle to explain.

Reyan’s ordinary life shatters in a single morning when a mysterious virus outbreak transforms people into terrifying, predatory creatures. As the city of Niraya descends into chaos, Reyan fights to survive, protect his daughter, and navigate a world where friends can become enemies in an instant.

Ashton is stuck between an underwater volcano, and a heart devouring dragon. Metaphorically speaking anyway. The princess of the sea has sworn on her mother's life to drag him down. Problem is, Ashton can't be killed. So after hundreds of years of pulling beasts of legend to her side, rewriting history, and backing him into a corner where he broke his heart into pieces, she thinks that with one final push... she may convince Ashton to simply end his own existence. Ashton is fully aware of her little schemes, it's not every day a dragon get's its still beating heart ripped out, then is bound to the land it ruthlessly conquered. Ashton would have even found it mildly poetic that the slain dragon was now forced to bless the land for all eternity... if, and emphasis on the IF, the blessing hadn't been twisted into a curse for the last 700 years. Now, Ashton has a few minor inconveniences to deal with. First, he's stuck in a decaying body. Second his memories aren't fully intact. Third, it would prick his pride if the descendants of "blessed" dragon died while he was in their territory. Fourth, he has two really, really, REALLY scary siblings that don't always bother with the details. Fifth, the only reason this princess and her mother even had the chance to scheme against him is because he was looking for a possible mate. He's the only one of his kind, thousands of years alone has him craving for a companion... for a heart to sing just for him... There are really only two outcomes now that Ashton is starting to regain his memories. Will the princess succeed in dragging him down, used as the new sacrifice to keep the "blessing" going, or will he ascend? Well, maybe three outcomes. Maybe this time a heart will sing for him as he ascends... a bird can hope.

Benjamin looked at the world he was about to enter: Hellraiser, Incantation, Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum, Silent Hill, Ju-on: The Grudge, It, Rule #1, The Cabin in the Woods, and so on. He had transmigrated to a deep blue planet similar to Earth, chosen by the Lighthouse, and entered an infinite world. Good news: The worlds in the Lighthouse were all movies he was familiar with from his previous life. Bad news: He started in the world of the classic American horror film, Hellraiser. Looking at the hellish cenobites summoned from Hell: Pinhead, Teeth Grinding, Deep Throat, the Gourmet, and the chains, hooks, and other instruments of torture swaying around them! Benjamin calmly greeted them…

A life destined to be stepped on. And yet— The awakening didn’t end. Beneath the worthless class and shattered potential, something impossible flickered to life: Talent: ??? — Rank SSS. A mythical talent that shouldn’t exist. An F-rank Knight with an SSS-rank Talent.

After dying of cancer in our world, a 34-year-old man wakes up in the body of 17-year-old Nolan James in the coal-dusted slums of District 12. He isn't just a survivor; he’s a "transmigrant" who knows the horrific future of Panem and the details of the 74th Hunger Games. Armed with a set of "game-breaking" supernatural abilities, Nolan must navigate the Reaping, the training in the Capitol, and the bloodbath of the Arena. His goal isn't just to survive—it's to use his powers to protect Katniss and Peeta, sabotage the Gamemakers from the inside, and turn the televised slaughter into the first spark of a real revolution. The Transmigrant’s Arsenal: The Powers 1. Blind Spot (The Ghost Sense) What it does: He instinctively "knows" exactly where people or cameras aren't looking. This makes him a master of stealth, allowing him to move through the Arena or the Capitol completely unseen, slipping through the literal blind spots of surveillance. 2. Enhanced Healing (The Survivor’s Grit) What it does: His body repairs itself at a supernatural rate. While not instant, it allows him to walk off injuries that would kill any other tribute—broken bones knit in hours, and deep gashes close overnight—as long as he has enough food to fuel the recovery. 3. Poison/Toxin Immunity (The Mithridates Effect) What it does: His blood neutralizes any chemical threat. Whether it’s the lethal fog of the Quarter Quell, tracker jacker venom, or a poisoned berry, Nolan is completely immune. He can walk through biological traps that the Gamemakers design to be "instant death." 4. Storage Space (The Infinite Inventory) What it does: By touching an object, he can "store" it in a private pocket dimension and pull it out later. This allows him to smuggle weapons, infinite food, and medical supplies past the Capitol's peacekeepers and into the heart of the Arena.

Aaron Smith encounters a weeping lady by the bridge and tries to help her, thinking she might be attempting suicide. Instead, she turns out to be a ghost that kills him with a heart attack. Now his soul has been transferred into a rat within a dungeon. Can this man survive the ordeal, or will he become mere nourishment for novice adventurers?

It means more than you know.]

The boy once called "God" has been chosen. A crumbling kingdom, crumbling bonds between friends, and prayers that go unheard. Betrayal, hatred, death, and yet...people laugh, cry, and try to live. This is a story that continues to question what it means to be "human" in a world engulfed in war. And finally, when light and darkness intersect, there are those who stand up against a fate that even the gods turned their backs on.

What happens when nuclear radiation awakens something that should have remained still at the bottom of the Mariana Trench? ​Born from a Xenon-195 reactor leak at a depth of 10,935 meters, four fragments of mutant jelly creatures—Balt, Amber, Veri, and Blu—suddenly gain consciousness, feelings, and one insane goal: To chase the sunlight. ​From the ocean’s eternal darkness, enduring pressures that crush steel, to being washed up on the scorching asphalt of California—GLOOP must survive a foreign human world. They will face swarms of New York rats, evade the pursuit of reckless teenagers, and even heist a jewelry vault in Manhattan to bring back a piece of the "sun" for their species. ​An epic transcontinental journey about family, courage, and the search for identity. Will they return as heroes, or remain forever as legends lost to the deep? ​"Because the darkness is never truly empty for those who carry light within their hearts."

Elliot was the perfect example of a nerd who never truly tasted what life had to offer before death claimed him. Because of his brilliant mind, he easily married the most coveted girl from his school—though it was purely because her father wanted to exploit him, and he remained completely oblivious. However, everything came crashing down when he realized how much of a fool he'd been for all the wrong people. But he wasn't entirely hopeless. Elliot was rather indifferent about death. A second chance, however, shattered that indifference entirely. Due to a heated disagreement between a god of trickery and a mysterious old hag, Elliot was reborn into a strange new world as Northern—a completely different realm. This world had forged its own voice, birthed its own calamities, and crowned its own heroes. In a world where people awaken talents, Elliot strangely awakens the ability to copy those very talents. But with that power came crushing responsibility—burdens far too heavy for a young, inexperienced boy like Northern to shoulder. Still, he'd rather walk through the flames of hell than shatter. *** This novel spans over a thousand chapters, so let me give you a heads-up about what to expect. The MC will be insufferable at first. This is a story where the MC has mountains of growing to do, and yes—he'll be grating for the first few hundred chapters. Whether you stay or bail is entirely up to you, but trust me: he will evolve, and watching that transformation will be incredibly rewarding. You know that feeling when your roommate who wore the same crusty hoodie for a week finally learns to do laundry like clockwork? You watch them folding clothes like it's sacred ritual, guarding that laundry basket like a dragon's egg. Or when your favorite author—who never used to reply—suddenly starts responding to every single comment with genuine care. You realize you could've missed witnessing their complete transformation if you'd given up on them. That's exactly what this is. This will be a brutal but captivating ride—just don't abandon him too quickly. Oh, and the grammar starts a bit rough around the edges but smooths out significantly in later chapters. Thank you, and I'll see you on the other side of a thousand chapters.

In a world shattered by rifts and overrun by monsters, humanity's only hope lies in the summoners – elite warriors who command mythical beasts. They are legends. They are celebrities. They are the strong. On the day of the Talent Awakening Ceremony, sixteen-year-old Godfrey watches in awe as his peers call forth packs of direwolves, mighty hydras, and even legendary dragons. When his own turn comes, he hopes for anything that will lift him from the bottom of society. What awakens is not a beast, but a legacy. Rejected and mocked for manifesting a single, armored knight from a forgotten age, Godfrey is dismissed as a failure. But they are all wrong. He has not summoned a mere soldier, he has awakened the Bloodline of the Ancient Golden Order. While others rely on feral packs and roaring dragons, Godfrey commands the disciplined, peerless might of the Golden Knight-Captains. One knight’s sword moves faster than a dragon’s breath. One archer’s arrow can pierce a hydra’s heart from a thousand paces away. They call his power weak. Soon, they will call it legendary. --------------- Disclaimer: * MC gets strong fast *Powerful cast of MC's knight summons * Progressive fantasy with lots of progression over the course of 300 or so chapters. *High octane battles, with spectacular beast skills *No harem *Each chapter takes me a while. https://discord.com/invite/8Ufe4789YX

"What if one could infinitely evolve, beyond all possible boundaries?” .... Leo was a child crushed by fate before he could even understand it. On the day of his birth, his father died in a heroic last stand against a beast horde. From that moment, the world decided who Leo had to become. People called him the successor of a hero, the next great pillar of Springvale City. But that title was never an honor. It was a weight. A suffocating pressure that followed him through every step of his life, no matter how hard he tried to live up to it. Everything finally collapsed during his third awakening ceremony. Instead of a powerful combat class, Leo awakened the Arcane Scholar class. A class ridiculed as trash. A class meant for weak, book-obsessed scholars who hid in libraries while real fighters stood on the battlefield. Whispers spread through the crowd. Some said he was a stain on his father’s legacy. Others went further, claiming his birth itself was a curse, that being born on the same day his father died was the true cause of that tragedy. The mockery crushed him. But what no one knew was that the Arcane Scholar was never a useless class. It was the power to record, analyze, and refine all information into usable strength. Skills learned over decades could be understood with a single glance. Techniques perfected through countless battles could be copied, broken down, and improved. Alchemy formulas, combat arts, even signature attacks. Once seen, they became his. And even that was only the surface. While others were bound by talent ceilings and class restrictions, Leo possessed something far more dangerous: a devouring talent that converts all essence into growth. No limits. No fixed paths. Only endless evolution. Armed with this power, Leo enters a world that branded him trash—now armed to steal every skill he sees and evolve without limits. ----- [ Skill Detected: Thunder God's Spear ] [ Deconstruction complete ] [ Replication successful ] [Thunder God's Spear has evolved into Primordial Void Lance] [ You have evolved: Arcane Scholar → Infinite Archive Sage ] ----- From trash to the strongest, watch as the ridiculed outcast become the supreme existence who claims all powers as his own and rises to make even gods kneel.

Title: PATCH NOTES FOR THE END OF THE WORLD Synopsis: Twenty-four hours before humanity ends, Noctis Alucard is just another hardcore gamer arguing with an online friend mid-match. Then the sky turns red. Blood rains from above. A supernova ignites in the Milky Way—and in less than a second, the world updates into something unrecognizable. Cities fall overnight. Ninety-five percent of humanity becomes monsters instantly. The rest are forced into a brutal survival game with no tutorial, no respawns, and no mercy. Each night, a shadow appears before Noctis, offering two pills—red or blue. Sometimes they grant power. Sometimes they take something irreplaceable. Sometimes they do nothing at all. There is no system interface, no rules, and no fairness—only consequences. Armed with survival knowledge from games, movies, documentaries, and sheer paranoia, Noctis refuses to play the apocalypse the way it wants. He runs when he should fight, doubts when he should trust, and slowly records the truth of the new world in a handmade survival notebook—one observation, one mistake, one near-death at a time. As zombies evolve, sunlight loses its power, mutant anomalies emerge, and rare humans awaken terrifying potential, Noctis begins to sense something worse than monsters: the world itself is watching. By the end, only a thousand humans remain—each monstrously powerful, each broken in different ways. While others choose to cleanse the world together, Noctis walks alone toward the final horizon, chasing the last patch note humanity never survived long enough to read. This is not a hero’s story. It’s a survival log written in blood, sarcasm, and bad decisions—until a gamer reaches the endgame and dares to rewrite it.

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.

The world saw a common weed. The Heavens saw a God-Tier catastrophe. After a fatal accident on Earth, Zhao Chen is reborn into the Azure World—a realm where martial spirits define one's destiny and soul rings are the currency of power. He awakens as the son of a prominent merchant family, but his rebirth comes with a duality that would terrify the strongest Soul Sages: the Apex Assistance System and the Nine-Headed Hydra, a God-Tier martial spirit capable of devouring the very essence of the world. To the public, Zhao Chen is a "Hard-Worker" talent with a lowly Thorny Crawling Vine. He plays the role of the humble merchant’s son to perfection, hiding his true cultivation behind layers of System-generated Spiritual Masking. While the geniuses of the Heavenly Pattern Academy flaunt their golden soul rings and noble lineages, Zhao Chen moves through the shadows, using his "weak" vines to systematically drain the life force of high-tier beasts and arrogant rivals alike. But the Hydra is hungry. To awaken its eight dormant heads, Zhao Chen must consume the most refined spiritual energies the empire has to offer. Now, as he enters the prestigious Academy, Zhao Chen must navigate a lethal game of chess against Soul Kings and suspicious Senior Sisters. In a hierarchy built on visibility, his greatest weapon is his invisibility. He doesn't seek to reach the top of the rankings—he seeks to remain the hidden predator beneath them. Because when the mask finally slips, and the ninth head awakens, the Azure World won't be looking for a genius to lead them. They will be praying for a monster to spare them.

Nearly a century ago, humanity survived the invasion of the Xin by awakening powers that reshaped the world. In the aftermath, humans claimed alien technology, opened portals to beast-filled planets, and built a civilization where bloodlines and awakenings determined one’s worth. Raze Zaden has none of it. No family backing. No awakening book. No future anyone expects to matter. But as entire planets begin to die and something ancient starts moving behind the scenes—Raze is chosen for a system that was never meant to exist. [Congratulations. You have achieved the first… and last… of this system.] The system doesn’t promise glory. It doesn’t demand worship or sacrifice. It pushes Raze down a path humanity buried long ago—a path tied to gods, judgment, and a bloodline the world tried to erase. As Raze grows stronger, he begins to uncover a truth far more dangerous than monsters or wars: Some powers exist not to rule the world… but to decide what deserves to survive it.
