survival

After a devastating crash that should have ended his life, Pondaru Yamada wakes up in a body that isn’t fully his own—an unnervingly perfect shell branded with the mark of Project N4O-CHI, a blacksite program that erases humans and rebuilds them as living pleasure dolls. But Pondaru isn’t like the others. He bleeds. He hurts. He remembers things automaton like him shouldn't be capable of. Stripped of his old world, Pondaru finds himself in a decayed cyberpunk underworld where neon lights hide cruelty, androids are discarded like broken toys, and survival often means losing the last pieces of your humanity. Torn between the twisted kindness of a group of mercenary misfits and the looming shadow of the corporation that made him, Pondaru must navigate a world of lust, violence, and identity crisis—where every choice brings him closer to either reclaiming who he is, or becoming the product he was designed to be. In a city that devours the weak and worships desire, a place where compromise does not exist, one thought haunts him above all: If I bleed… then I must still be real…Right?

Arthur Sterling died exactly as he lived: an overworked, ruthless corporate liquidator on Earth, only to wake up in the muddy slums of The Mortal Domain -a "livestock" world farmed and harvested by the arrogant Gods of the Apex Realm. Determined to never be a disposable pawn again, he refuses to climb this universe's rigged ladder. Instead, he spots a naive, hard-working "Chosen One" and decides to execute the ultimate multiversal hostile takeover. As a local thug tries to extort him in the mud, a cold mechanical voice suddenly rings through his mind: [Ding! The 10,000x Infinite ROI System Awakened!] [Employee Target 'Caden Cross' has completed 1,000 practice swings.] [Ding! 10,000x ROI Multiplier has been triggered!] [You received 10,000,000 swings of sword insight!] Instantly, a catastrophic influx of cosmic energy forcefully rewrites his DNA, turning him from a starved, dying outcast into a towering apex predator with Domain-Level Sword Intent! ———————— [Target 'Sylvia Thorne' has naturally regenerated her Arch-Mage mana.] [10,000x ROI Multiplier Activated! Congratulations on instantly reaching the absolute peak of the Mortal Realm!] While others grind for decades to learn a basic D-rank skill, Arthur simply watches his "employees" work and invents God-tier variants in a single breath! While arrogant nobles celebrate paying mercenaries to carry them, Arthur's mere Sword Intent drops elite guards to their knees coughing blood! [You observed an Apex Overseer's ultimate Divine Art.] [10,000x Return Activated!] [Congratulations on instantly mastering the perfect counter and breaking their conceptual laws!] Armed with a system that treats the universe like a corporate asset waiting to be liquidated, Arthur's path to the throne is paved in absolute dominance and exploitation! Mocked for being a magicless beggar? He binds the realm's strongest Arch-Mage, expanding his mana core to the Master Tier in a microsecond. Looked down upon by the "Gods" of the higher realms? He steps on their Overseers, treating their invincible deities like fragile teaching dummies. Challenged by the arrogant "Alpha" geniuses of the Apex Realm? He slaps them across the face, shatters their egos, and leeches their foundational talents. But Arthur's greatest power is [The Binder]. He doesn't just defeat his enemies; he monopolizes their existence. From turning a lethal Apex Curse into a mutually beneficial power-romance to ripping the Origin Sparks out of the Prime Creator to reformat the Omniverse itself. Follow Arthur Sterling as he transforms from a disposable farm animal into the Absolute Monarch of the Infinite Realms! He will crush the Heavenly Sovereigns, build the impenetrable Chaos Ark, gather an unstoppable harem of loyal Queens like the Arch-Mage Sylvia and the Demon Empress Morwenna, and execute the ultimate multiversal hostile takeover!

**Title: The Exiled Mage Heir** Bullied for being the only student who failed to awaken an affinity by the age of sixteen, **Lucian** had long been branded as the academy’s greatest disgrace. To the world, he is nothing more than the son of an ordinary couple living a quiet life on the edge of the city. But on the night of his sixteenth birthday, everything changes. After accidentally overhearing his parents’ whispered conversation, Lucian discovers a truth that shatters his world—his father and mother were once legendary mages from two rival supreme clans, cast out and crippled for choosing love over bloodline duty. Even more shocking, he learns that he has **two elder sisters**, both taken away by their respective clans on the night his parents were exiled. Determined to reunite his broken family, Lucian steps into the Awakening Hall the next day. Before everyone’s eyes, he awakens a simple **Aqua Affinity**. The academy laughs. His enemies mock him. But hidden deep within his soul lies a terrifying truth: **Origin Affinity. Necro Affinity. Seventeen sealed elemental gates.** As an ancient pendant from the antique market cracks open, two betrayed supreme mage souls awaken within it, both claiming him as the key to their revenge. Before Lucian can uncover the full truth, disaster strikes. A catastrophic attack descends upon the city. In the face of destruction, his “ordinary” parents reveal their true strength and fight to save everyone. The city survives. But when the flames die and the night ends, **his parents are gone without a trace**. Now, armed with forbidden powers, ruthless mentors, and a destiny tied to two worlds, Lucian must rise from the ashes of exile, rescue his missing parents and sisters, restore his shattered family, and make the clans that destroyed their lives kneel. In this world, power decides fate. And the exiled heir is about to rewrite destiny.

After transmigrating into the novel The Flowers are Actually Fairies, I woke up as Lady Velora Rosethorne, the Villainess. Trapped in a life that isn’t mine, in a body that doesn’t belong to me, as I struggle to navigate a world, something felt wrong. a fate that feels already written. "I'm now her… so why does it feel like I’m not the one living her life?" "I was never meant to be her. Beside I can't love a male character—I'm a guy..." "So why does the world keep pushing me to become her?" "Can I truly move freely in this world— or was I never in control to begin with?" "Wait..." “I have powers?! —and money!?” “Being a girl might not be that bad, after all.”

He has been transmigrated into the world of Pandora, but his arrival has not gone unnoticed by the planetary consciousness, Eywa.

It exists "between the cracks in reality" and embodies a journey of transformation, cooperation, and self-exploration.

The story explores themes such as: Identity and self-discovery Interconnectedness of beings and universes The consequences of choices and wishes The tension between freedom and responsibility The Starcrash Signature is central to a narrative that blends cosmic fantasy, metaphysical speculation, and personal struggle, often described through poetic and abstract language that conveys its otherworldly nature.

On the night her world shatters—when her boyfriend cheats on her and leaves her humiliated in front of everyone—Elena makes a reckless decision she never thought she would make.

(Vol. 1 completed. Vol. 2 ongoing...) Synopsis: A politician from Earth gets transmigrated into a semi-familiar cultivation world, where typical xianxia protagonists are cooking trouble in every corner of the street. Guided by a unique system, he begins to amass a legion of such children of destiny, manipulating each of them into becoming his partners-in-crime. What to expect: 1. Extremely overpowered enemies who actually have a brain. 2. Side Characters who make impact on the story 3. MC schemes more than he fights, and he ALWAYS fights dirty. 4. There are tons of scheming by side characters that even the MC can't easily deconstruct. 5. MC's cultivation method is messed up beyond anything you've read on Webnovel. It grows wilder with each arc. So don't expect typical power-ups and revenge subplots. 6. Dry, lowbrow comedy.

Summoned by the primordial Ant God Antarion, Harry is reborn as Antares Antis, the last true Ant King of the Scarlet Ant Tribe on the dangerous Monster Continent Cretis.

"Success is a shallow foundation built on luck and circumstance. Failure, accumulated and stacked like endless bodies in a mass grave, forges the deepest roots into unshakable power. I know all this about power with surety as all I had were countless failures. After all, I am Vakochev, and I set the very Scales of Existence. This... is my story. Existence, is my Story." --- In the brutal Lands of Stone, where mountains move and beasts devour civilizations whole, power is the only currency that matters. Damian Vakochev was once a prince to a glorious power, but he was stripped of that power, family, and everything he held dear as he was left with a shattered foundation. In an age where tribes war for scraps and Neolithic Empires crush all who oppose them, where ancient beasts roam territories older than memory and Mana flows through the Lands of Stone like blood through veins, where Warriors reinforced by Mana who could go against entire armies and Primal Beasts could devour entire mountains, Damian looks upon it all and asks...why? Who said things had to be the way they were? Who decided what power truly was? Why could he not stand over the tallest mountain and declare exactly what power was as he saw fit?! Why did he have to follow the set path of cultivation? Why were others born with Land and Sky Physiques while he was not? What prevented him setting up his own rules and his own paths?!

Nine years ago, humankind almost perished the day monsters came out of the Cracks– aka dungeons– that appeared all over the world. When all hope seemed to be lost, a select few awakened as Hunters equipped with a System. Thanks to them, the civilization recovered faster than one would expect after the apocalypse. However, another conflict presented itself later: the more the Hunters used their powers, the quicker they lost their sanity. Fortunately, among the Awakened People, there is a group classified by the System as Guides– and only these Guides have the power to soothe the Hunters and bring them back to their senses. Sounds great, right? But what happens when a Civilian is in a relationship with a Hunter who has a high matching rate with their Guide? “Let’s break up, Wonhee.” Yep, this is what happens when your Hunter boyfriend has a 76% matching rate with his Guide. Wonhee was dumped by her long-time boyfriend because she’s just a Civilian… … or so she thought.

In Dwarkam, people are not born equal. Some are born Halocrats, wrapped in power and worship. Some are born Gutterborn, taught to keep their heads down and their mouths shut. Zane Atlas was a Gutterborn. Eighteen years old. Hungry. Beaten. Invisible. The world taught him one rule early: Filth shouldn’t look up. When the Golden Slab descended from the sky, it gave power to those who caressed it. Most gained skills. Some gained status. Many gained hope. Zane gained something else. Something that was never meant to awaken. Something that watches before it judges. Something that acts only when survival is at stake. [ Conflux System ] It does not reward obedience. It grows through choices. And it can merge anything Zane owns… including his body, his instincts, and his will to survive. Now Zane walks a thin line between staying alive and being discovered. Between obeying a world that hates him and becoming something it must erase. The churches are watching. The crowns are stirring. The monsters are waking. And Zane is learning one terrifying truth: Sometimes, being chosen is worse than being powerless. ——— ——— ——— Support Me - ko-fi.com/khyaal Join My Discord For Reference Arts and much more - https://discord.gg/zmUcswM2N5
