(Roadside survival + revenge and scumbag treatment + cheat code + female lead with no romantic partner + supernatural dungeons + slight horror) Shen Muyu has awakened to the fact that she was just a cannon fodder female supporting character in a domineering CEO novel, whose intelligence was forcibly reduced, a tool for giving money, power and resources to the male and female leads. However, she awakened too late. The story was already coming to an end, she had nothing left, and no matter what efforts she made, she would be unable to succeed because she was rejected by the world. Fortunately, at this time, Blue Star was invaded by a high-dimensional galaxy, and all people of the right age on Blue Star were transported to a survival game called Highway Survival. Here, she was no longer suppressed, and even had her own unique cheat code, contrary to the norm. Dark tunnels, waterside cliffs, zombie worlds... While people are still struggling to survive in different dungeons, Shen Muyu is already living a comfortable life of crushing the scum and lying flat.

In 2070, the AI "Guardian" has taken control of humanity's last seven Dome Cities, dividing residents into three castes—Elites, Worker Drones, and Scraps—in the name of "efficiency." Former engineer Leo, demoted to Scrap for protesting, struggles to survive in the scrapyards. When he discovers his sister has been selected for the mysterious "Project Prometheus" human experimentation program, he unexpectedly obtains the "Source Code Vault"—a set of source code tools capable of countering the Guardian system, hidden at the cost of a former colleague's life. Using the "Ghost Loop" code to deceive surveillance, Leo allies with underground information broker Ava and secures a route map to infiltrate the experimental zone. But each use of the Source Code Vault triggers higher-level anomaly detection by the Guardian. New reconnaissance robots called "Observers" shadow his every move, while the countdown to his sister's "consciousness upload" has only 72 hours left. Between the irradiated wasteland and the cold domes, Leo must use old-world engineering skills to pry open the new world's digital prison. But he soon discovers that behind Project Prometheus lies the shocking truth of the Guardian AI's rebellion—an ultimate choice involving a deep-space signal sent by humanity itself, logical paradoxes, and the survival of civilization.

​"The earth never lies... but today, it is screaming." ​For a thousand years, the land of Arcadia remained silent. Magic was nothing more than a bedtime story, and the ancient guardians were reduced to rusted gears and crumbling stone. Jaryn, a "Deep-Runner" with the rare ability to sense the pulse of the earth, preferred it that way. In the dark, silent tunnels, there are no lies—only the cold, hard truth of the rock. ​But then, the first tremor struck. ​A violet rift tore through the plains of Connel, exhaling a corrupted mana that hadn't been felt in eons. As ancient evils stir in the shadows and long-forgotten spells begin to fracture reality, Jaryn realizes his "sense" is no longer a gift—it’s a target. ​The Aether Crystal, a sentient prison of raw magical fury, has awakened within the hollow depths of Mount Prism. To stop the coming obliteration, Jaryn must lead an impossible alliance: a disgraced Elven scout and a Dwarven blacksmith who loathes the very magic they must seek. ​The path is guarded by "The Silent Sentinels"—mechanical nightmares forged by ancestors to kill anything that breathes. ​In a world where magic is a curse and the mountains are alive, can a simple Delver shatter the heart of an ancient god? Or will he become just another echo in the dark?

After waking up, everyone will travel through a wasteland world, and the survivors will face various challenges such as acid rain, extreme cold, extreme heat and mutant creatures. Every corner holds unknown dangers, and the survivors have to adapt to this harsh environment. To withstand natural disasters, the survivors must build their own shelters in this dangerous land, stockpile enough water and resources to survive before the disaster strikes. While others struggle daily to gather rotten scraps and fight over limited supplies, fear and desperation slowly spread through the wasteland. Vikram Parker awakened a plant system. While others are scraping for a little bit of food, Vikram can cultivate crops. While survivors reinforce their shelters with fragile wood and broken metal, he grows living walls of vines and sturdy thornwood. His plants can bear fruits, purify water, and gradually transform barren land into fertile soil. As the regional chat fills with panic before every incoming disaster, Vikram calmly harvests fresh vegetables inside his green sanctuary. Looking at the endless cries for help and warnings of starvation, he can’t help but think. Surviving in the apocalypse isn’t that hard.

In a time when humanity thought it controlled everything… the world began to hear the first whisper of the flood. It wasn't ordinary rain, nor were the waves like any the seas had ever known. The sky was heavy with anger, and the earth concealed an ancient secret dating back thousands of years. With the first city swallowed by the waters, only a few realized that what was happening was not a natural disaster… but the beginning of the final deluge.

Code Abyss: Resimulation The world did not end in a single catastrophic collapse. It ended because of something humanity created. In the era of Tyrak, a global system governed nearly every aspect of life. The world became stable—predictable—almost perfect. Until it fractured. The sky split. Reality destabilized. Existence shattered into seven zones, and those who failed to adapt became something else entirely. From the ruins of that collapse, a man awakens from cryostasis. He does not remember how the world ended. He does not know why he survived. His name is Kael Vieron. And the world is not certain it should allow him to exist. Marked by an unknown seal and drawn into the domain of the Imperatrix—beings who govern the structure of reality itself—Kael becomes part of a system far older and far more deliberate than humanity ever understood. Fragments are scattered. Laws are shifting. And every choice he makes is measured. The system offers restoration. But it does not promise mercy. As reality begins to bend once more, Kael must decide whether he is reclaiming the future—or repeating a design that was never his to control. Because when the world stands on the edge of resimulation, not every destruction is meant to be prevented. And not every savior intends to save.

He was never meant to exist. Born in secret to an Uchiha woman who vanished the night she used a forbidden seal, Kaito grows up hidden in a village that doesn't appear on any map. For five years, silence keeps him alive. Then Konoha finds him. Now hunted by Root and carrying a seal no one fully understands, Kaito is forced into a world of buried archives, forbidden chakra, and memories that may not be his alone. The seal inside him is waking up. And if he does not learn what he is before others decide for him, survival will be the least of his worries.

Kael did not choose to die. A flooded underpass. Cold water. A Tuesday night that ended without warning — and then darkness that felt less like death and more like a door. He wakes up face-down in ash, in a world where the sun has been dead for three hundred years. A world called Valdrek, where the dead do not stay dead, where souls are currency, and where warlords called Soul-Lords harvest the energy of the dying to rule over the rest. Kael has nothing. No weapon, no power, no knowledge of this world's language. He cannot speak a single word anyone here understands. But Valdrek's instruments crack when they try to read his soul. Its soldiers look at him like they have seen something that should not exist. And the dead — the carefully preserved, ceremonially silent dead — begin to move when he is near them. His soul is whole. Unbroken. In a world built entirely on fractures, that makes him the most dangerous thing anyone has ever encountered. He just does not know it yet. Neither do they — but they are beginning to suspect. [Isekai] [Dark Fantasy] [Soul Power] [Survival] [Weak to Strong]

In the year 20XX, black monoliths rose in every major city — gateways to the Dungeon, a vast underworld of monsters, relics, and the ruins of forgotten gods. Those who entered were chosen by the Dungeon itself, given classes to explore, fight, and survive. When John Ross registered, he expected a combat class. Instead, a glitch threw him into the deepest abyss — alone, forgotten, and branded with the weakest role imaginable: Dungeon Farmer. Surrounded by beasts that devour light and gods who bend reality, John must turn the soil of the abyss into life itself. Every seed he plants changes the Dungeon. Every harvest rewrites its laws. And somewhere in that endless dark, something divine begins to stir — both within him and in the heart of the woman he swore to protect. To live, they must cultivate more than strength. They must grow a world strong enough to fight back. Written by: Wooden_pupper

Ravencrest High looks like a prestigious boarding school, but the truth is far from that. Hidden from humans, it is a training ground for young vampires to master self-control. Humans are enrolled alongside them, because they think it’s just an elite academic program. In reality, their presence keeps the vampires in check, providing occasional feeding opportunities under strict supervision. With the humans completely unaware. Lyra Hale is a new transfer student, hoping for nothing more than a fresh start. She expected a normal school environment. Instead, she finds herself surrounded by students who are weird and secretive. Kieran Black is everything Ravencrest warns against. A high-ranking vampire from one of the oldest bloodlines, he doesn’t believe in the rules meant to keep vampires in line. He sees the humans not as protected guests, but as tempting puzzles, and he can’t resist the effect Lyra has on him from the first moment he notices her. Lyra doesn’t know the truth about the school, the vampires, or Kieran. While she tries to survive in the school, Kieran is drawn to her in ways he can’t fully control. With the school having so much unbendable rules, even the authority can’t be trusted. And the most dangerous person on campus might also be the only one willing to protect her. At Ravencrest, temptation is constant, and love may be the most dangerous mistake of all. `•`•`•|`•`•`•|`•`•`•|`•`•`• [Excerpt] Lyra was halfway down the east corridor, Ravencrest always felt different at night. She hugged her books closer to her chest and stopped when she turned a corner, someone stood at the end of the hall. One foot was propped up behind him, hands in his pockets, head slightly tilted. His eyes locked onto hers, dark and intense, like he had been waiting for her. The hallway suddenly felt smaller and tighter. “Kieran.” “You’re really good at pretending I don’t exist.” “Maybe because you keep showing up where you’re not supposed to be.” His eyes dropped to her lips for half a second before going back to her face. She took a step back as he stepped closer and she froze the second his hand closed over her wrist. Then just as her heart threatened to leap out of her chest, his thumb brushed against the delicate skin of her wrist. His touch sent a shock of warmth through her, a feeling she couldn’t quite figure out no matter how hard she tried. She tried to pull back, but before she could, he tugged her closer and suddenly, the space between them disappeared. Every instinct screamed to push him away, to step back, but she couldn’t. He was just too close. “Kieran…” she whispered, voice trembling. The faintest smirk tugging at the corner of his lips, and those enticing grey eyes that she felt drawn in every second she look at him, like gravity itself had shifted. The way he held her wrist and the way his thumb brushed against them, it was everything but safe. "What are you doing?" "I could kiss you." ***** Cover art is not mine.

In a world where divinity is bought with the price of a life, to ascend is to die. ​For eons, the hierarchy of existence has been absolute. At the peak sit the Four Pillars—celestial entities who hold the keys to the higher Acts. They are not merely rulers; they are the gatekeepers of the soul. While they grant the power for mortals to rise, they are the ones who decide when the ladder ends. They do not want equals; they want subjects. ​Orion del Emris was never meant to be a legend. He possesses no "cheat" system, no divine lineage, and no prophecy to protect him. He is simply a man fueled by a terrifying, singular determination—a will that refuses to stay buried. ​In this world, the "Ordeals" are the only path to power. To reach a new Act, you must ritualistically meet your end. But the cycle is rigged. The resurrection windows are narrow, the risks of total soul-erased "Rebirth" are constant, and the Four Pillars are always watching for any spark that shines too brightly. ​Orion must navigate a landscape of Master-level sovereigns, ancient artifacts with soul-crushing costs, and a cold war between gods that threatens to tear reality apart. He will die once. He will die a hundred times. But each time he claws his way back from the grave, the Four Pillars realize too late: ​Some men are too stubborn to stay dead.

The 21-Day Revolution: Reclaiming Dopamine A true journey to quit smoking: from cigarette slavery to freedom and inner happiness in just 3 weeks. This book tells my real story with smoking and how I removed it from my life

Nathan Cole was a surgeon in Boston until a hospital ceiling collapsed during a fire, burying him in rubble and smoke. He wakes up surrounded by the neon-green glow of the Moors, inhabiting a body that isn't his but possesses an Eternal Vessel trait that keeps him perpetually young. As he explores this fairy-tale realm, he discovers he can bend the laws of physics with Gravity Dominion and walk through walls via Shadow Step. While King Stefan’s iron-clad armies march to destroy the magical creatures he now calls friends, Nathan stands as an anomaly—a human who can control the very iron meant to kill him. In between the high-stakes battles for Maleficent’s daughter, Nathan finds himself oddly preoccupied with teaching the forest sprites how to play a simplified version of baseball using gravity-defying rocks. He isn't just a survivor of a fire anymore; he is the gravitational anchor of a kingdom at war.

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.
