survival

[A depressed boy clings to a game and its doomed action protagonist for his life until the game's world becomes reality and he embarks a determined journey to change protagonist's ending that the boy strongly rejects.] Johann had already given up on reality long before it began to collapse. The only thing that kept him going was a game, The Mayhem, and its silent, unstoppable protagonist: the Hellraider. Then the game became real. Monsters, death, and destruction—everything unfolded exactly as he remembered. But Johann didn’t enter this world to survive. He came for one reason: to follow Hellraider… and change the ending that should have never happened. Yet the more he walks that path, the more the world begins to break away from what he knows. Events shift. Truths contradict. And the figure he once believed he understood refuses to be defined by anything, not even the story itself. In a world where even fate is unstable, Johann continues forward, even when he no longer knows what he is chasing. *The entire story is completed. New chapter will be published regularly.*

Three university students—Lin Xia, Mei Chen, and Yue Ning—thought they were creating a game. A simple survival project. A high school setting. Childhood games. A final boss. But on the night of their final test, the system activated on its own. Now they’re trapped inside XO PROJECT. A world that looks normal… but isn’t. Students smile. Teachers teach. But behind every class lies a deadly challenge. Lose a game… and you don’t just fail. You lose something real. Memories. Identity. Pieces of yourself. Or worse— You disappear. And as the system evolves, one truth becomes clear: The game is no longer theirs. Something else is playing.

Find a mate. Bear a cub. Save the world. Left stranded on an empty road with nothing but her purse and a broken heart, Lin Wan follows the only direction available to her and walks straight into a world that was never meant for her. The Beast Continent is vast and wild and runs on rules she does not understand, and apparently her body has exactly three hours before it starts shutting down. The solution, according to the cheerful system that just moved into her head, is simple. Find a mate. Bear a cub. Save the world. Problem solved The cold, stripe marked leopard warrior who pulled himself out of a wild pool and looked at her like she was his before she even knew his name was not exactly what she had in mind. But he is what she has. And somehow, in this strange world under a stranger sky, that might be enough.

Ray was an eighteen-year-old student at Antipolo City Senior High School. Plain. Normal. At least, that was the story he told himself. Everything shattered when a burning, near-fatal fever gripped him, bleaching half his hair into a stark, ash-gray streak. When he opened his eyes, his city was gone—replaced by a living nightmare. Unknown to him, a failed reverse experiment buried deep in his family’s secretive history had accidentally turned loose an unrefined virus. It spread fast, twisting the population into grotesque abominations. Survival isn't simple. Ray finds himself thrown into a brutal struggle alongside a fragile circle of allies. Guarding his back from the dark are his uncle and aunt—an ex-spy and a seasoned assassin operating under cover to keep him alive through the worsening chaos. Together, they navigate constant threats: dwindling food supplies, nonexistent medicine, and the sting of unexpected betrayals. Yet the rabid creatures prowling the streets are only half the danger. Hidden deep inside Ray’s own body slumbers 'Patient Zero'—a dormant genetic weapon stirring in response to the surrounding contagion. With every desperate trigger pull, every agonizing choice, and every shadow creeping across the Rizal mountains, Ray fights to hold onto the faint sliver of who he used to be. Before the clock runs out. Before whatever is sleeping inside him finally takes over.

In the wake of the bloody skirmishes between the Planetary Defense Forces (PDF) and the Traitor Guard, the war-torn surface of the Hive World is littered with the "expended" assets of the God-Emperor. While others see only corpses and ruin, Kian Voss, a scavenger blessed with the "Scavenge-Strike-Extract" System, sees a golden opportunity to strip the land bare. A discarded Lasgun from a fallen guardsman? Claimed. It’s loaded with Mark III Overcharge Packs. A set of scorched Carapace Armor? Stripped. That’s Grade-4 reinforced plate. The Bolt Pistol of a dead Commissar? Emperor's Mercy! It’s chambered with Grade-5 Kraken Penetrators! A wrecked Leman Russ Battle Tank? Pry open the hull—he’s just salvaged a Master-crafted Archaeotech Power Cell! Everything goes back to his Underhive Sanctum. By trading with hive-gang syndicates and black-market contacts, Kian exchanges his loot for construction materials to fortify his base. From his hidden workshop, he manufactures Artificer-pattern Stubbers and High-output Power Cells. Clad in his own customized Power Armor, Kian Voss spearheads the assault against the heretic. His goal? To farm enough "Favor of the Emperor" to eventually ascend to the foot of the Golden Throne itself!

Even if you’ve never watched The Walking Dead, you can still enjoy this story! 【Realistic Apocalypse + The Walking Dead Setting + Independent Protagonist】 【Base Building + Survival + Adventure | 】 After transmigrating into the world of The Walking Dead, she becomes the younger sister of Leah from the Reapers—someone who was supposed to die before even appearing in the story. Calista seems to have drawn the worst possible script… a doomed background character. But that’s fine. The situation is still salvageable. The first thing she does after waking up? Cling to the Reapers and secure their protection. While Rick’s group is still struggling with questions of morality and humanity, Calista is already rebuilding order through sheer force. The Governor dares to provoke her? Bombard him. The Whisperers? Erase them. The Commonwealth and CRM? Move aside. Rick stares at his shabby camp in confusion. “Why is everyone running to her side?” Negan flicks the blood off Lucille as the gates of Rock Fortress slowly open behind him. “Damn… because following her means you actually thrive.” Starting with the Reapers as her foundation, Calista rises from a winery stronghold to become a ruler of the apocalypse. From the United States… all the way to Europe. The original plot? Just a reference. From today onward, my territory will define the order of the new world. 【The protagonist is not a saint. She won’t follow or assist Rick’s group blindly. Their paths will cross, but she will build her own empire.】 (No system. Just the realistic rise of an ordinary person in the apocalypse.)
