survival

Helga and her best friend, Magda, make a list at the beginning of summer break. Not world-changing plans. Small, brave challenges — the kind every teenage girl should check off before summer ends. Helga has a crush on Tom. The beginning of summer goes well. It feels like they might finally end up together. Then her brother’s broken heart — and a dangerous boy — change everything. This is not a sugar-coated summer story. This is a story about the things you’re better off knowing sooner rather than later. Because there are things no one talks about. And sometimes, a little sister grows up too fast. YA / coming-of-age / dark summer

The end of the world with the appearance of a System and Monsters? No. Here, there are only a few monsters, and the System gives far greater EXPs if you kill humans. If you think this is an opportunity for the lower class to rise up, then you are gravely mistaken. If you are a worker—or even if your parents are workers—then you are nothing more than your boss’s slave. Liam, an unemployed orphan, becomes quite lucky. Not only does he become a Free Player, bound to no one, he even obtains a Second System—the Daily Reward System, which gives him one thing he desires every single day.

#NoCP #PlayingPig (This novel is one of my favorites. I’ve gone back and reread it about 5–6 times now.) Jing Shu has seen the end of the world, and it’s literally a storm of epic proportions, and she’s been given the ultimate do-over: a ten-year rewind. Thrown back in time to just two months before everything goes to hell, she has one mission: to make her apocalypse as comfortable as possible. Forget just surviving. While others are scrambling for canned beans, Jing Shu is building a fortified sanctuary, raising soon-to-be-extinct poultry for gourmet meals, and cultivating a garden of forgotten veggies. Armed with a mysterious evolving cube that grants her a private pocket dimension and a magical spirit spring water, she’s set to ride out the disaster in style. But what’s the point of living like a queen if you can’t enjoy a little revenge? The apocalypse is about to get a serious upgrade in style, and Jing Shu can’t wait for her enemies to see what they’re missing. Let them hear the sizzle of her steak and smell the aroma of her barbecue. Their despair is just the seasoning she needs. In a world where humanity itself is changing, mutating into powerful "New Humans" fused with the chaos, Jing Shu is ready to evolve right along with them. She’s got her cube, her spring, and a plan. The storm is coming, and she has a front-row seat. === English Original Title:《I'm planting a field in the end times》 (Note: Title adapted for tone and readability while preserving the story’s core themes.)

In the "Multiverse of Gods," Sunny, a mundane delivery man, is thrust into a new reality as the god Cosmos. He is tasked with cultivating a barren, water-filled planet named Veridia, armed only with a formidable but initially useless SSS-grade talent, "Skill-Resonance," which allows him to copy skills from his planet's lifeforms every 100 planetary years. Sunny's journey begins with him using his divine power to create the first microscopic life, a single algae, and manipulate his world's accelerated time to foster evolution. As life flourishes on Veridia, so do the challenges. Sunny discovers the gods are not merely creators but participants in a high-stakes game. A global notification warns of daily "misfortunes" that will plague their worlds, forcing them to use precious Faith points to protect their creations. The stakes are raised further when he realizes the multiverse is a finite space and that gods will eventually be forced to clash with each other. To prepare for this inevitable conflict, he must accelerate his world's development, creating powerful demigod creatures to serve as defenders. The story follows Sunny as he navigates the cutthroat world of the gods, strategically using his cunning and limited resources to build a thriving civilization and prepare for the ultimate fight for survival against forces both natural and divine. Author's Note Thank you for reading my novel. I'm excited to share this world with you and hope you enjoy the journey of Sunny, a normal guy who becomes a god and tries to cultivate a world from scratch while facing challenges from other gods and the universe itself. This story is a testament to the idea that even with a seemingly useless talent, a person can achieve greatness through cunning and hard work. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and continuing to build this story together. Discord :- https://discord.gg/wyCFacXcVC Patreon :- https://www.patreon.com/Cosmos_07

"Jace...where did you get a Curse like that?" In a world struck by a sudden ominous Towers, humans are forced to climb and uncover the evil living inside.

For fourteen years, he lived inside a game. Monster Legion—the world’s first fully immersive VR MMORPG—was more than entertainment. It was a living world where monsters ruled, empires fell, and legends were born. While others played heroes, he chose to become a slime. Mocked at first, ignored later, he rose through strategy, patience, and absolute loyalty to his guild. Together, they built an unstoppable monster faction, dominating the world for a decade. Then the updates stopped. Players left. Friends disappeared. One by one, the world emptied—until only one player remained. On the night the servers shut down, he logged out… but the world did not end. The control panel vanished. The system went silent. Yet the castle stood. The army waited. And the NPCs… breathed. Awakening as a slime in a world no longer bound by game rules, he discovers a terrifying truth: This is no longer a game. The Vampire Queen kneels. Generals await his command. Gods watch from the shadows. Now crowned as the Supreme One, the last guildmaster must decide what kind of ruler he will become—while uncovering why the world survived shutdown… and what lies beyond it. From a forgotten slime to the ruler of gods and monsters, this is the story of absolute authority, loneliness, power, and a throne that refuses to disappear.

Commander Justin wasn't noble blood, just insanely smart but he rose fast, leading armies better than anyone in Valderra. He once saved the Duke’s son from enemy lines during a storm, turning certain defeat into victory after victory. Yet instead of honor or land, what came next shocked him completely. One moment he stood victorious; the next, pain flared as someone behind him drove steel deep. It was one of his trusted guards delivering the blow all because the Duke had given the word. As darkness swallowed him mid-fall into that endless crack in reality, only one thing burned through: how could this happen? Death should’ve finished it. But then light stabs his eyes, sharp and white. A voice cuts through, flat like metal [SSS-RANK SYSTEM: CHRONO DOMINION ACTIVATED] [TEMPORAL RESET: -60 YEARS] Justin wakes up inside Robin Stark’s weak, failing body, a boy doomed from birth. This kid? The unwanted third son of the Duke who had Justin killed. A disaster struck when Robin was born, some massive rift tearing through reality, wiping out tons of people. That’s why his kin treat him like trash, no love, no food, just chains in a hidden chamber. Back then, he died alone at twelve, nobody noticing, nobody caring. Robin’s got Commander Justin’s mind inside him, two decades of tough fights plus knowing exactly how things play out sixty years ahead. Even better? He’s hooked up to the Chrono Dominion System, a top-tier ability that lets him bend reality. It gives him Time Echo to flip back a few key moments mid-fight. Or Void Step, vanishing completely when needed. Then there’s Chrono Overdrive, cranking his strength way up like five times stronger in an instant. The road’s harsh. Just to fix himself and tap into insane strength, Robin needs combat, ending foes while stealing their energy. With zero advantages, he drags himself up through the lowest ranks at the military school. He’ll build risky bonds, twist elite haters into pawns without them noticing. The Duke believes his cursed kid isn't worth a glance but turns out, he’s dead off track. Robin Stark’ll crawl out of the dark hole his dad left him in. Once he’s through, getting even with House Stark ain’t enough. He’ll grab the crown right away. Yet in a place where power get twisted, how much is lost just to tweak destiny?

A million years ago, the First Emperor vanished, leaving behind a throne that governs reality itself. In his absence, his servants stole the world, rebranding themselves as the Ancient Families and ruling humanity from the shadows. They thought the true bloodline was extinguished. They were wrong. Evan Kyros was just a starving student in the slums of New Orelis, fighting eviction and drowning in debt. But one night, the world stopped, and the Emperor System chose him. Offered the three pillars of absolute power—The Apex (Strength), The Nexus (Magic), and The Aurum (Wealth)—Evan understood that in a modern world, gold is sharper than any sword. He chose The Aurum as his foundation. Now, armed with a Tier 1 account boasting unlimited funds and an Intelligence stat breaking the human limit, Evan has the power to buy the world. But this is only the beginning. To reclaim the Throne, he must eventually unlock the full Trinity—mastering the Body and the Spell to become the true Emperor. But the Ancient Families are watching from their glass towers. Worse still, the Heirs of other Gods are descending, seeking to claim the empty throne for themselves. Forced to mask his identity while rising from the slums of New Orelis, Evan must wage a silent war where influence is ammunition and legal tender is the deadliest weapon of all. He doesn’t need to dethrone the false Kings just yet. He just needs to lay the first stone of his own Empire. Author's Note: This is Book One of the Emperor System saga. The MC is a high-intelligence strategist who builds power through wealth, influence, and deception (The Aurum Path) before unlocking combat and magical abilities (Apex and Nexus) in later volumes. Expect kingdom-building, ruthless business tactics, and a protagonist who outsmarts the world.

He underwent profound transformations after 100 reincarnations. Bahamut, once possibly a more innocent or vulnerable entity, emerges from his experiences as a sadistic dominator, embodying the essence of a beast on literal, figurative, and spiritual levels. His priorities shift drastically, abandoning concerns as he becomes consumed by his love for challenges, blood, horror, and death. Bahamut thrives in this brutal world, embracing his identity as the ultimate BEAST. This journey is marked by his relentless pursuit of darkness and domination, making him a force to be reckoned with. Bahamut travels around the world, the universe, explores various mythologies, gains more power, and for his main purpose… It becomes something he would do when he feels like it.

In this otherworld where plumpness is beauty, being thin means being worthless. Megrie was once the lord’s daughter, until her father’s death stripped her of everything. Robbed, starved, and abandoned, she died of hunger. But death was not the end. When she opens her eyes again, she is no longer a girl meant to be trampled— but a top-tier chef from the modern world, the mind behind a chain of successful restaurants. No status? She’ll earn dignity with food. No power? She’ll make the world bow to her flavor. Starting with a single bowl of noodles, she will reclaim her life, humiliate those who wronged her— and conquer this world through cuisine.

Ten years before the world of Eternal Dominion is meant to begin, a man from the modern world awakens in a body already doomed. Valen Arkwright, eldest son of the northernmost county, heir to a frozen land of wolves, war, and betrayal has been stabbed in his own bed and left for dead. In the original timeline, his death is nothing more than a footnote, a convenient tragedy that allows his younger stepbrother to claim the title of Count under the guidance of a ruthless stepmother. But this time, Valen survives. Armed with memories of a game he once mastered and knowledge of a future soaked in blood, the man reborn as Valen refuses to accept a scripted death. As civil war erupts across the snowbound north, he must rise from betrayal and weakness to reclaim his throne—by steel, strategy, and unforgiving resolve. Surrounded by enemies wearing the faces of family, Valen navigates a court where every smile hides a blade and loyalty is bought with blood. Ancient powers stir beneath the ice, long-forgotten bloodlines awaken, and the northern land itself seems to respond to his defiance. Between brutal battles and political intrigue, dangerous women enter his path each carrying desire, ambition, and secrets capable of reshaping his fate. In a world where power is seductive and survival demands dominance, passion becomes both a weapon and a weakness. To rewrite the future, Valen must embrace the cruelty of the north, claim the strength buried in his blood, and shatter the destiny written for him. Because this time, the noble meant to die will take the throne. And the world will remember his name.

[Discord Server: https://discord.gg/MYvk4cMUsx ] Synopsis - The World’s Greatest Tamer Doesn’t Know the Rules In a world where beast taming is governed by rigid laws, rituals, and hierarchies, success depends on knowledge, control, and authority. Contracts are binding, beasts are ranked, and tamers spend their lives studying methods designed to dominate creatures far stronger than themselves. Iris knows none of this. Broke, untrained, and completely ignorant of taming theory, he survives day to day by doing odd jobs and avoiding trouble. When he helps an injured monster out of simple sympathy, he accidentally forms a bond that should be impossible — one without ritual, command, or cost. From that moment on, beasts begin choosing him on their own. Unaware that he is violating every established rule, he continues treating powerful creatures like ordinary people: talking to them, bargaining poorly, complaining openly, and trusting them far more than he should. The world interprets this as genius. Scholars call it a lost ancient method. Guilds label him an “Irregular.” Rumors spread of a tamer so skilled he doesn’t even need techniques. As more beasts gather around him — each with their own will, pride, and motives — his accidental influence begins to destabilize the existing order. Traditional tamers lose control of their contracts. Enslaved beasts begin resisting. Entire institutions built on domination start to crack. While factions compete to recruit, suppress, or eliminate him, iris only wants a quiet life. Instead, his careless words and improvised decisions are endlessly misinterpreted as profound strategy, turning him into an unwilling symbol of reform. At its core, the story is a comedic fantasy about misunderstanding taken to its logical extreme: a man with no knowledge of the rules unintentionally reveals that the rules were wrong all along. Through chaos, humor, and escalating action, The World’s Strongest Tamer Doesn’t Know the Rules explores power without authority, bonds without control, and how sincerity can overturn even the most rigid systems.

This was the story of the Wannabe Webnovelist Team (aka WW) who slaved over writing for five years and did not receive a single reader, only to discover that the person responsible for the final edit and publishing in the Wannabe Webnovelist writing team never actually published anything. He had only uploaded everything to the drafts. Sit back and relax (or not) as you try to figure out which character has written which paragraph or chapter. Not to mention working out how many people are actually in this team - this may fluctuate. The WW team's rules in this novel are that once a chapter has been published, no one in the team can edit it. (NB: all the characters in this work are fictional and while any resemblance to real life people are not entirely coincidental - no insults are meant. This is a completely tongue in cheek, rubbish piece of nothing. Yes, you read that right. If you find this as nonsensical as the author(s), then 'high five!' You are on the right page.) Also, has this story really been discontinued? Wait and see... because if it really has been discontinued, we hope the readers enjoy being left hanging on the cliff edge - or just hanging, cos there's nothing wrong with just hanging about. Addit Oct 2023: WW is on a long break. Who knows if they'll ever get back together or come back (in fact, I doubt they will ever return - I think they've given up). Therefore, you will receive random short stories instead. This is now truly discontinuous nonsense. Enjoy. If you don't like one story, you can now switch to a different one via the contents page. Yay.
