survival

In the rain-soaked alleys of Tokyo, broken souls still dream. Riki Yamade once believed in nothing but survival — a fallen prodigy turned underground bartender, drowning his ghosts in the city’s neon haze. Haunted by a past soaked in betrayal and blood, he’s long since given up on hope, trust, and anything resembling friendship. Then Akio Hukitaske crashes into his life — loud, stubborn, and impossible to ignore. Through relentless humor and quiet understanding, Akio begins to break through Riki’s walls one sarcastic remark at a time. What begins as an unwanted companionship slowly becomes something Riki can’t escape — a fragile bond that forces him to confront everything he buried long ago. But friendship, like healing, is never easy. Between violent memories, inner demons, and the ghosts that refuse to let go, Riki must decide whether to keep running from his pain… or face it with the one person reckless enough to stay by his side. Becoming My Dream Pharmacist – The Fall of Dawn is a tragic, emotionally charged prequel to the acclaimed web series. Blending heartbreak, dry humor, and fragile redemption, it explores how even in the darkest corners of the city, a single spark of connection can be enough to rewrite a broken life. In a world where trust is dangerous, sometimes the bravest thing you can do — is believe again.

"Special Admission, Rank 1." That was the title on the golden invitation I threw into the trash three months ago. Back then, I was the Crime Lord of Oakhaven. I had money, territory, and an ego that touched the sky. Why would a King lower himself to attend a school? I was arrogant. I was foolish. And I paid the price. It took less than an hour for a single knight to turn my criminal empire into a graveyard. He didn't just defeat me; he ignored me. I was an ant beneath the boot of a god. Broken and desperate, I used my last asset: a golden letter granting me entry to Zenith Imperial Academy as "Special Admission Rank 1." It’s a lie. I’m not a prodigy. I’m a fraud with no foundation, surrounded by the strongest heirs in the Empire who want to see me bleed. I can’t cast their spells. I can’t hold their weapons. But I can steal their lives. My Authority is [Usurper]. While they study theory, I steal reflexes. While they practice honor, I copy trauma. I am not here to learn. I am here to hunt. My targets are the "Four Calamities"—four women who hold powers strong enough to rewrite reality. They think I’m their peer. They don’t know I’m the parasite waiting to hollow them out. I’m going to make them mine. Discord: https://discord.gg/FK9GfrSjtb

The washed-up magician Zong Jiu transmigrated into a horror, infinite flow novel about a survival show, taking the place of the cannon fodder who died tragically in the first evaluation round. This show was very interesting. Out of the tens of thousands of people, only a hundred people could survive, and the c-position (strongest contender) could even get a universal wish ticket. If it were someone else, they’d probably be scared to death. No one expected that Zong Jiu was not only unafraid, but also caused a sensational stir, shamelessly showing off his tricks the whole way. Once his tricks stopped, and his life could be considered safe and sound, he ended up in a rivalry with the novel’s big villain. Today you try to get at me, tomorrow I’ll get you back, back and forth, it’s pretty fun, heh. As a result, though it was just playing around, one time they got carried away and really did end up sleeping together. Watching the nemesis who was pressing him to the ground, Zong Jiu lazily lifted his gaze. “If you want to kill me then kill me, don’t speak nonsense.” Even when at a disadvantage, he showed no trace of fear, and actually continued to provoke him. That person used his ice-cold finger to trace his ear, and the action heading toward the aorta suddenly stopped. “What a pity. I’ve changed my mind.” — He was once very willing to personally give Zong Jiu death. Every day, he used to regret not gouging out his flesh, personally snapping his neck. But after this person fell into his hands, another, more urgent desire grew like weeds. Compared to winning or losing, he would rather see him crying and panting, with eyes red, begging for mercy.

Ryan soon brings her to the city, where neighbors treat her kindly, and she begins learning to cook, clean, and live a peaceful life.

Original title: Endless of the Universe. *** Alien girls, cosmic mysteries, and a massive power progression! Since childhood, Nova had always struggled to understand others. While people around him felt happiness, sadness, or anger, he was nothing more than an “emotionless doll.” It wasn’t truly his fault—after all, he had been born with the Spectrum of Serenity. Over time, he grew accustomed to living that way, forging a personality far too relaxed for the chaotic and dangerous world he lived in—a world filled with Aberrations, Dimensional Portals, people wielding powers born from the Emotional Spectrum, and countless mysteries that emerged after the impact of an infamous asteroid more than a thousand years ago. As nothing more than a Support in this fractured world, Nova would eventually fall into a trap—and with it, his journey to uncover the unknown, what lay beyond the stars, would begin. *** This is a story that will be simmering slowly. If all goes well and I manage to keep up with two chapters a day, it could extend to over a thousand chapters.

After his death, Aoi Hiroto is reincarnated as a beast-like race, similar to Ghislaine's race, but with the memories of his past life intact. Now, torn between his animal instincts and human rationality, he tries to find his place in this new world. Warnings: - The MC is like Rudeus, he doesn't know the world of Mushoku Tensei, for him, this is a new world with magic and swords, but he has seen other known animes. - MC is 3 years older than Rudeus, having been born in K404. - Rudeus will still exist in this timeline, but the chapters that will show his point of view will be very rare, unless he is interacting with the MC. -The confirmed harem members so far are Verdia, Ghislaine and Eris. I plan for this story to have around 500 chapters, maybe a little more or a little less than that. The cover was created by illustrator Winter, based on the characters from the work Mushoku Tensei, authored by Rifujin na Magonote.

Malachi was a gamer who spent most of his time in front of his computer. He enjoyed all kinds of games—adventure quests, role-playing journeys, strategy battles, simulations, fantasy worlds, and action-packed realms filled with magic and mystery. When he participated in a company’s beta version of a new game from ArcanePixel, a studio known for producing massive worldwide games, he didn’t hesitate. The offer alone was too good to ignore, especially since it promised cash rewards for every participant. During the briefing, the company explained that this wasn’t just an ordinary game. They were testing something revolutionary before its global release. Instead of using a controller, console, or computer, players would wear a special VR headset that connected directly to their minds. Their consciousness would enter the game world, allowing them to experience everything as vividly as real life. But there was a warning. Once inside, players wouldn’t be able to leave until the final boss was defeated or until the game officially ended. Until that moment, their bodies would remain asleep in the real world while their minds stayed inside the game. Malachi wasn’t the only one who accepted the offer. Hundreds of gamers also participated. Each player received an Arcane Weapon, a unique weapon forged from the material essence of magical creatures. To grow stronger, they would need to complete quests, slay monsters and bosses, and prepare themselves for the ultimate challenge. The game was also filled with special events designed to push Malachi and others to their limits. Duels, party battles, trials, guild wars, and more tested their skills, teamwork, and survival instincts. Only the strongest would rise above the rest. Players who defeated the most bosses and earned the highest achievements would claim the greatest rewards.

When the world was forcibly logged into EON ARENA, everyone believed it was a fair system. Classes. Levels. Rankings. Survive, grow stronger, and climb the leaderboard. Aaron Cole was given none of that. No weapons. No skills. No combat stats. His class was called Observer, a role so useless that most players assumed he was nothing more than an NPC. What they didn’t know was that Aaron could see what no one else could. Behind every skill, every monster, every so called “random” event, there was a hidden logic layer. Damage formulas. Aggro rules. Spawn conditions. Failure thresholds. While others fought the system, Aaron read it. While the world accused him of cheating, the system itself began issuing warnings. Because Aaron wasn’t breaking the rules. He was operating in a layer the system was never meant to expose. And now, the system has noticed him.
