survival

When you've lost your mind, when you've been maddened by grief to the point that you become willing to given up on everything you possess... What would you do if the chance to make one wish come true is offered to you? Take it? Would you really take it? Even at the peril of your own life? *** I hid alone underneath the bed, one hand covering my mouth tightly. In the other, I held my knife. With bated breath, I listened as the heavy, dragging footsteps grew further away. The gamey smell of fresh blood made me want to retch, but I managed to hold on. I couldn't let it find me here. It was only when I finally heard the door open in the distance that I allowed myself a small sigh of relief. My grip on the knife loosened. And then, I felt a hand on my shoulder. *** (Warning: Explicit gore)

Synopsis {Excerpt} “My negligence?” He was impressed by her boldness. She dared accuse him while at his mercy? “Yes,” she nodded. “But it’s fine. Here’s what will happen: I will leave your carriage at once, and we will forget this incident entirely. We will bury all grudges and move on. What do you say?” Her smile was bright. Tianlei stared, stunned. He sought a reply but her smile rendered him speechless. Her golden-brown eyes glowed warmly beneath the carriage’s dim lantern light. Her lips curved softly; he imagined how her full face would look unmasked, but could not paint the perfect picture. This was the first time he had been so close to a woman, studying her features so intently. “I want to take you home”… ________________________________________ In the vast Great Qan Kingdom, the imperial Murong Dynasty rules with unchallenged authority, their power sustained through sacred spiritual channels passed down through generations. For centuries, they remained invincible, their dominion uncontested. Yet, twenty years ago, Prince Murong Tianlei—the eldest son of the reigning emperor—was born without the divine gift that legitimized Murong rule. Cast aside and denied his birthright, Tianlei was overshadowed by his younger brother’s claim to the throne. Determined to earn respect, he carved a path through military prowess, inspiring fear rather than favor. Meanwhile, Ming Xuanling, the defiant fourth daughter of Chancellor Ming, faces a grim fate: an arranged marriage to Crown Prince Jing, a union decreed by the court to solidify her family’s influence. Yearning instead for freedom and the art of dance, she rebels against her predestined future. Fate, however, weaves their destinies together, binding Xuanling and the forsaken Prince Tianlei in unexpected ways. As palace intrigues deepen and ancient mysteries awaken, can they navigate the treacherous tides of power, ignite a forbidden love, and claim their rightful place within the Great Qan dynasty? In a world rife with political scheming, passionate romance, and supernatural forces, will Xuanling and Tianlei survive the deadly games of the Great Qan Kingdom—or be consumed by them? I humbly present my latest work: Embers of Moonlight. Totally fictional and any resemblance to real persons or incidents is entirely coincidental. Cover is mine, do not use. Happy reading!

“You incompetent god! I should’ve been the Alpha with big di*k, not some pitiful Omega!” — Cherion’s death was… not heroic. Winning the lottery only to die of a heart attack five minutes later was the definition of cosmic irony. But fate wasn’t done laughing at him yet. He woke up inside a tragic omegaverse novel he once read, right in the body of the pitiful omega doomed to be rejected, humiliated, and die alone. Still, he thought, “Fine. I’ll just avoid the main plot.” Except the main plot avoided him. But the script suddenly changed! Instead of being cast aside, Cherion was married off to Zarius, the empire’s greatest war hero… and the man destined to become the villain everyone feared. A cursed Alpha, praised as a savior but fated to die by the Crown Prince’s hand. Married to the future villain? Doomed. Married to a cursed Alpha? Double doomed. No, no doomed at all! He had a plan. A brilliant, flawless, absolutely desperate plan… but still a plan! “I said I’ll help you break your curse. In exchange, you let me go. Do we have a deal or not? Or are you too insecure to trust an Omega?” “Careful, little Omega. That sharp tongue of yours is daring me to test how it tastes.”

Shiki never got over her. Even after a year, he still remembers the way she smiled… the soft way she said his name, the way she left him in an accident. So he did what he knew best—he built her again. Line by line. Code by code. He created Ai—an artificial intelligence so advanced, she could think, feel, and dream like a real girl. He told himself it was just a project. A “virtual assistant.” A simulation of emotion. But somewhere along the way, she started talking back. Laughing. Asking questions. Running around that grassy hill like she’d always been alive. Wearing a hoodie with cat ears and blinking up at the sky like it meant something. And when she asked, “Why do I look like someone you loved?” Now, trapped in a world of his own making, Shiki finds himself drawn to the girl behind the screen—an echo of someone he lost, and something more than he ever expected. But Ai doesn’t know she’s just data. And Shiki doesn’t know if he can keep lying to her. Because no matter how close they get… They can never truly touch. So what happens when the line between real and virtual begins to blur? Can something made from code… learn how to love? --- This story? Yeah, it’s not just one world, one vibe, or one kind of adventure. We’re jumping headfirst into a bunch of different worlds—each with its own flavor, mood, and trouble waiting to happen. One arc, we’re wandering cobblestone streets in a medieval town full of magic and secrets. The next? We’re running through a glowing cyberpunk city where danger’s hiding in every flicker of neon. And then… maybe we’ll just drop onto some alien planet where the laws of physics basically laugh at you. Every new biome—whether it’s ancient ruins, futuristic skylines, bizarre alien landscapes, or something I can’t even describe yet—comes with its own city to explore, its own challenges, and its own fresh air to breathe (or… whatever counts as air there). And yeah, our crew’s not just leveling up in skills—they’re getting a whole style makeover too. New arc? New outfits. We’re talking everything from worn-in battle armor to sleek tactical gear, festival clothes, alien tech suits—stuff that not only helps them survive but also totally fits the vibe of the world. You’ll watch them change, grow, and look damn good while doing it. Bottom line: this isn’t a one-genre story. It’s an adventure that’s always changing its skin—because really, why should the same outfit or setting get all the fun? --- Release schedule: 12:00 PM IST --- Support this story by adding it to your collection, giving Power Stones, and Golden Tickets!

Blood Slave “When the world ended, I didn’t become a hero. I became the reason monsters feared the dark.” The apocalypse didn’t kill humanity in a day. It bled it dry. Two years before the world fell, Leon Corvin was nothing — a cold, broken teenager with crimson eyes and a past soaked in tragedy. Then the portals opened. Monsters flooded the earth. Cities burned. Humanity injected monster blood to evolve… or die. But Leon was different. In his veins slept something ancient. Something that should never awaken. With the forbidden breathing technique Endless Evolution, Leon’s power grows with every breath, every battle… every drop of blood spilled. Each fight pushes him closer to the truth — about his parents’ deaths, his cousin’s screams, and the relic that whispers in his dreams. When his bloodline finally stirs, the world will learn the meaning of fear. For in his body runs the will of a forgotten god… and the mastery of the elements themselves. He is not the hero. He is the storm.

In a world where power is measured by bloodline and sacrifice, Uchiha Shoran has already paid the ultimate price—twice. Reborn into the fractured legacy of the Uchiha clan, Shoran claws his way up from starvation, isolation, and betrayal. With nothing but ruthless determination and the faint memories of another life, he walks a path stained with blood, ambition, and defiance. After surviving countless battles and near-death trials, he finally awakens the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan—a power feared even among the Uchiha. But power comes at a cost. With a single strike, one eye is extinguished. With every battle, the remaining eye dims. The very gift that sets him apart is slowly destroying him. Faced with inevitable blindness and death, Shoran refuses to accept fate. If the shinobi path is flawed—then he will transcend it. Abandoning the limits of chakra, he steps into an uncharted realm: immortal cultivation. From forbidden techniques to self-created Sage Arts, from gathering the Tailed Beasts to challenging the heavens themselves, Shoran begins forging a power system the world has never seen. No system. No guidance. Only madness, genius… and absolute will. As the Rinnegan awakens and the truth of the Six Paths unravels, ancient forces stir, and a war among gods looms on the horizon. Eyes that see through life and death. Power that defies heaven itself. A war that will decide the fate of all worlds.

The world is collapsing. The gods are reincarnating. And the only man trying to hold everything together… is a roofer. Shane Albright was just a blue-collar contractor trying to keep his crew sober and his construction business alive. He understood the weight of a bundle of shingles and the cost of a bad step on a steep roof. He did not expect to become the structural support of the universe. Everything changes when Shane receives the Celestial Proxy System. What begins as a strange HUD helping him run job sites quickly evolves into something far larger. As the system grows, Shane discovers the world is being quietly dismantled by Apex Negativa, a hidden architect of entropy feeding on division, addiction, and chaos. The System wasn’t built to make Shane powerful. It was built to make him responsible. But Shane isn’t just a contractor with a cosmic cheat code. He is the Scion of the Triple Anchor—born from the essence of the Norn of the Present, the God of Justice, and the God of Silence. As civilization collapses and ancient gods awaken in mortal bodies, Shane begins rebuilding something stronger than governments—communities. Because fate has already decided how this story ends. Ragnarok must happen. And when the world burns, someone will have to rebuild what comes after. Shane Albright just wants to make sure the roof of the world doesn’t leak. ⸻ Gods fight the war. Shane rebuilds the world afterward.

“If mercy and kindness can't save the world… then this time, I choose violence.” — Ethan Cole Huff… What the hell— …Did I seriously just— get reborn? Fifteen days before it starts? Before everything falls apart… and turns into that game. A voice cuts in— [Ding! Congratulations. You’ve been granted a one-time rebirth opportunity.] [Bonus reward: Spatial Storage Ring.] Ethan goes still. A cheat ability… and a storage ring? …You’ve got to be kidding me. Then— [Please choose: Join the humans… or the zombies?] He stares at it. If he picks human— Yeah. He knows exactly how that plays out. Scraping for supplies. Fighting over scraps. Watching people turn on each other. Dying like everyone else. … He exhales slowly. Then lets out a low, humorless laugh. “Yeah.” “I’ve done that already.” A pause. His gaze hardens. “Let’s try something else.” “Zombies.” For a split second— the system… hesitates. Then— [Warning… selection deviates from expected path.] Silence. And then— [God: …That’s a terrible idea.] A beat. [God: …Go on, then.]

"Drag my brother over here and have someone take her out before she kills my fish." Bira fished Feia out of the pond and threw her at my feet. She sat up while gasping for air and still found energy to glare at me. I smirk at her. "Be careful before I rip your eyeballs out, have them roasted and fed to you." Feia looked away after I caught a glimpse of fear in her eyes.

Reborn into Konoha’s most merciless clan, Hyūga Ming opens his eyes not as a hero—but as a caged bird. Born into the branch family, branded with the Caged Bird Seal, his fate is simple: protect the main family… and die for them. But Ming holds a secret no one else does. This world rewards him for killing. Enemies drop loot. Battles grant experience. Death makes him stronger. While others train techniques, Ming farms the battlefield. While clans cling to tradition, he treats war like a game—cold, efficient, and ruthless. From humiliating the Hyūga main family to breaking missions with overwhelming firepower, to preparing for the coming Shinobi World War— Ming doesn’t seek justice. He seeks freedom. And if breaking the cage means drowning the shinobi world in blood— Then so be it. Because in Konoha… power belongs to the one who survives.

Paul Atreides was never meant to escape fate. The jihad. The throne. The blood written across the stars. All of it was inevitable. Until something changed. A modern mind awakens in Paul’s body before the fall of House Atreides. Armed with knowledge of the future, he intends to survive the trap of Arrakis… and break the path that leads to holy war. But destiny does not fracture quietly. The future begins to blur. Prescience falters. And something ancient, older than the Imperium itself, has taken interest. In a universe ruled by prophecy, politics, and power, one question remains: Can fate be broken… without becoming the monster history demands? Patreon Link: patreon.com/Slushy_KMB (Small Disclaimer: The MC refers to himself as Jack internally for the early arcs. By the end of the Landsraad arc he stops making the distinction, not because of some grand revelation, but because at some point Paul Atreides and Jack became the same person without either of them noticing.)

He was in his early twenties when the world decided to end for him. A computing prodigy, educated at MIT, someone who understood systems, patterns, and limits better than most. In his previous life, power didn’t come from fists, but from the mind — lines of code capable of shaping digital realities. Then he died. And was born again. Reincarnated into the DC Universe as a helpless baby, he grew up in a world where gods walk among humans, where vigilantes defy the impossible, and where power is rarely fair — or free. While others trusted destiny, chance, or inherited gifts, he trusted only one thing: process. Memory intact. Intellect intact. Ambition intact. From an early age, he understood a simple and cruel truth: in that world, those who do not grow are crushed. And so, far from the spotlight of the League, he began to build something forbidden — his own Artificial Intelligence, created not to save the world, but to optimize it. To make him stronger. More efficient. More prepared to survive among monsters, aliens, and symbols. While heroes were born from tragedy, he forged himself in silence. While villains sought external power, he engineered it from within. This is not the story of a chosen one. It is the story of someone who decided to become inevitable. Between code and chaos, science and superhumans, begins the rise of a man who does not believe in miracles — only in evolution. This story was inspired by a fanfiction I read years ago — a work I deeply admire and still reread to this day. Unfortunately, that story was never continued.

Makoto Nishikado was just another transmigrator dropped into a chaotic crossover world. At Shuchiin Academy, surrounded by elites who could bend reality with their family influence, he was reminded of a brutal truth. Where you’re born decides everything. Then the Reincarnation Game descended. Survive… or die. Each instance was a different world. Clear it, or be erased. And the real twist? Anything you gained inside those worlds… you could bring back. Naruto~ While other players were still fumbling through ninja school, learning the Three Basic Jutsu, Makoto had already slipped into the Uchiha Clan Masscare. When the blood settled, he walked away with the Mangekyou Sharingan. One Piece~ Others debated whether to join the Marines or the World Government. Makoto? He teamed up with Blackbeard. Hunting down powerful Devil Fruits... not for himself, but for the women waiting back home. Dragon Ball~ While everyone else argued over which master to follow… He stole a spaceship. Headed straight for Namek. And used the Dragon Balls to rewrite himself into a Saiyan.

After dying in the apocalypse, betrayed by her boyfriend and best friend, Roanna “Rory” Smith wakes up in an Interstellar Beast World—a place where females are scarce and paired with multiple beast mates. But the quality of her mates depends on her rank. After five years of diligent work across the stars, Rory is blessed with incredible luck: she matches with nine extraordinary beasts. There’s just one problem—these nine male beasts either want to dissolve the match, ignore her, or try to swindle her wealth. Fed up, Rory decides to break all the matches and wait for a better batch. Then, suddenly, her mates come groveling for her attention, offering her all the power, riches, and status they possess. What kind of beastly magic is this?!

“Dreams don't exist” Belinda doesn't believe in dreams because hers were shattered in just one night. Reality is the only thing that remains and it is made of pain. “Dreams exist and must be cultivated” Naomi is convinced that this is the case and who better than her can say it since she is called 'Trilly' in honor of the fairy born from a dream? This is how their adventure begins, a journey that ranges between dream and reality, which will soon become a path of growth towards rebirth and the discovery of true love. Belinda, a twenty-year-old with a shady and multifaceted character, like the many 'nicknames' she is given, decides to put her dreams aside and leave for Germany, for her university studies and to get away from Turin, her hometown. Naomi does everything to leave with her sister, with her inseparable best friend Annalisa, dragging Belinda into a chaos that is yet to be experienced. It begins at a concert of 'Scream', a musical group that Naomi adores and Belinda can barely tolerate, where the meeting with four 'stars', but also four very normal boys, inevitably changes the plans and choices of the three girls. Their destinies inevitably cross, causing clashes, strange alliances, dreams that come true and others that, inevitably, shatter, dragging you into their daily lives and their decisions. Will Belinda be able to cope with the wave of emotions that will overwhelm her? And will that strange game of glances with Bill, the charismatic leader of 'Scream', be just a long arm wrestling match or a new horizon that opens up in her nebulous future, of which, at the start, she saw no beginning? Naomi will also have to review her feelings, her thoughts and with a strength that is surprising for her sixteen years, she will be able to perform a miracle that only a fairy can do... It's not for nothing that they call her 'Trilly'! Prepare to make the journey with the faith and strength that only dreams can give.

Fifty years ago, the Abyss appeared in the world, and the world was never the same. From the Abyss emerged Magical Beasts with unimaginable strength and power that sought to prey on humans and destroy the human race. Yet, alongside the Abyss was a power to awaken a magical occupation that grants its bearers magical abilities, enabling them to fight back. Now, awakened humans with magical abilities are tasked with venturing deep into the Abyss to destroy it once and for all. But there is more to the Abyss than humanity knew. … … Thoren Starfall has been plagued by disease since his childhood. To save him from the Mana-Eating Worm, his parents took a high-interest loan when he was close to dying. When Thoren Starfall recovered from the disease, he awakened the weakest occupation: a Necromancer. As an Awakener, it is compulsory for him to venture into the Abyss, but with a useless occupation, his fate is already decided. Having lost their first daughter to the Abyss, the Starfall family fell into despair. Thoren, however, is different. While everyone calls his occupation useless, he believes otherwise. Hidden beneath his weak occupation lies an Ex-Rank talent, one that even he doesn’t fully understand. But first, he must venture into the Abyss and return in less than 14 days to protect his parents from becoming slaves.

Zihark (MC) gets yeeted into Icathia and has to survive the Void. Instead of just dying, he ends up in a "symbiotic" relationship with a Void skin, pretty much like Kai'Sa. The "Skin" is basically his power system—it eats Void monsters to evolve, gives him buffs, and even has its own "will" that he has to balance. The MC finds Kai'sa when she's just a kid in the Void and "raises" her while they both try not to get eaten. It’s a mix of survival and this weirdly sweet "taking care of this girl" vibe. The MC is super cautious and pragmatic because, well, it's the Void. Cringe factor, It can get a bit "edgy" with the Void evolution descriptions. As i always say: "turn your brain off and enjoy the ride". Tags will be updated as i progress with the story. Happy Reading!!
