survival

Lilia Costa wakes up on an ordinary day to find that everything she knew has vanished — replaced by the New World, a place where Earth's logic merges with the secrets of Mundus, a fantasy realm of magic and danger. Around her house, instead of her neighborhood, lies a mysterious forest. Defying all common sense, an enigmatic System also emerges, one that assesses levels and distributes abilities. While humanity wrestles between panic and adaptation to the new rules, Lilia, a university researcher, takes the logical first step: to investigate. Her search leads her to an ancient temple shrouded in illusions. With a new ability that catalyzes her inquisitive nature, Lilia begins to unravel the temple's mysteries. Every fragment of knowledge she absorbs is a piece of the puzzle of the Fusion. Understanding the rules of the game is the only way to change it. And she is willing to learn them all. ______________ A story where the classic fantasy genre and the urban fantasy genre merge! Female protagonist! Adventure oriented!

Ram and Rahul never meant to become candidates. A forgotten map, a mysterious scroll, and a legend whispered through time pull them into a selection where intelligence matters as much as strength. The prize is the Mirabilis Pen, an artifact said to grant ten wishes. The cost is survival. Inside a world ruled by shifting rules and hidden tests, friendships are strained, rivals are forged, and every choice carries consequences. As the selections grow more dangerous, alliances form in unexpected ways, and enemies begin to look disturbingly alike. This is not a story about heroes and villains. It is about decisions made under pressure. About trust formed in chaos. And about how far someone will go when escape is no longer an option. The game has begun. And the first part ends where certainty disappears.

He thinks his life is over… until a new opportunity crashes into his world: survive the fucking apocalypse.

But what he discovers goes far beyond mere survival: this apocalypse hides secrets that make simple obedience impossible. Get ready for a rollercoaster of danger, twists, and revelations. This may very well become the longest, most harrowing night of his life.

Snow bites deeper than steel, and cages leave scars no eyes can see. Q97 is not a boy with a name—he is a number, an experiment carved from cruelty in the underground labs by vampires. In a world where hybrids are treated as disposable tools, his only hope is escape. Guided by the secret writings of those who came before him, he follows a path dug by rabbits and buried in whispers, chasing freedom through tunnels that lead toward human lands. But freedom has a price: the moment he crosses the border, he can never return. Never again to the castle’s red spires. Never again to the rose garden. Never again to the one vampire who gave him warmth when the world froze him numb. Sir Draven—the quiet gardener with golden eyes who carved clumsy little sculptures of ice just for him. Roses that melted by morning. A kindness that should not have existed. A memory Q97 cannot take with him, yet cannot leave behind. This is not a story of quick love or easy salvation. It is a slow journey of survival, longing, and fragile bonds that burn against the cold. A tale for those who believe that even in the darkest experiments, even under cages and snow, a single rose can bloom. ***** This is a slowburn, character-driven story. If you love emotional depth, healing & growing arcs, and found-family themes, this is for you. Stick around past chapter 10, that's when the heart of the story begins to unfold. Warning: mpreg, almost all male experiments have wombs. Please proceed with caution if you are uncomfortable. Romance will start when MC is older, Thank you ^^

In this world, magic is not inherited… it is torn from the heart, and human worth is measured by a coin extracted when needed. Mythical stones decide who is worthy of wielding power, while stolen coins feed on human fates.

As ancient seals shatter and the Ravagers of the Vein emerge, Lilithia’s existence is revealed to be more than a key to salvation… She is the door that will force the world to confront its own lie.

Serah dies in a sudden accident... and what she finds is a ghost's worst nightmare. Betrayal, supernatural rules, and strangers who can see her. The afterlife has its own agenda. Dying wasn't the end. It was just the beginning of the drama.

Something is moving in the shadows, and it’s always one step ahead. People are dying, each left with a strange, haunting mark—a spiral, three weeping eyes, a six-fingered hand. No one knows what it means, and no one knows who’s behind it. Then the whispers start. Secrets thought buried come crawling back. Lives are shaken. The city itself feels alive with tension, as if every street corner hides a watcher, every message carries a threat. No one is safe. Everyone is just a pawn. And the game has only just begun.

Ten years ago, the sky broke. The Aliens came not with fire, but with silence, turning cities into graveyards and survivors into prey. In the corpse of London, two children—Aeron and Maya—were saved not by heroes, but by a broken man leading a group called The Last Echo. They became family. They found hope. Until the day the monster called Xylos wiped that hope away, leaving only the siblings alive for reasons they couldn't understand. Now 17 and 16, Aeron and Maya have built an empire from the ashes, forged in a secret, seething hatred. They play the roles of loyal soldiers for the very forces that destroyed their family, biding their time, sharpening their blades. But when the truth behind their survival begins to unravel, they face an impossible choice: save the crumbling world, or burn it all down for revenge. This is not a story about heroes. This is a story about what's left when heroes die.

Born frail in body and dismissed by the world as insignificant, Lucien Voss grows up learning a cruel truth early in life: strength invites resistance, but intelligence invites surrender. Mocked, ignored, and underestimated, Lucien survives not by fighting back—but by observing, calculating, and remembering. Behind his quiet demeanor lies a mind capable of dismantling systems, predicting human behavior, and turning chaos into opportunity. While others chase power through force, Lucien builds it through information, manipulation, and flawless strategy. Every insult becomes data. Every loss, a lesson. Every human weakness, a tool. As society spirals through political unrest, corporate greed, and moral decay, Lucien positions himself not as a hero nor a villain—but as an inevitable outcome. Allies rise believing they lead, enemies fall without realizing they were ever opposed, and empires shift hands without a single battle being fought. What begins as a story of survival slowly transforms into one of domination. Lucien does not conquer nations with armies or weapons—he conquers minds. And by the time the world recognizes his influence, it is already living by his design.

Inside the red walls of the Forbidden City, the most dangerous predator isn't the Emperor's political rivals—it is the man who guards his bedroom door, a beast in silk robes waiting for the moon to bleed. The night of the Mid-Autumn Festival was supposed to be a celebration of celestial harmony in China. Instead, the Forbidden City was bathed in the copper scent of blood. Three high-ranking officials were found shredded within a locked treasury, their bodies bearing wounds that no human blade could inflict. Lin Xiyao, a physician ignored by her peers, is summoned to analyze the remains. Using her Heavenly Forensic extraction technique, she discovers a single, silver-white hair—a clue that leads directly to the Emperor’s most trusted shadow, Lu Yan, the Commander of the Jinyiwei. Lu Yan is a man of cold steel and lethal silence, but beneath his embroidered uniform beats the heart of a feral beast. He is the victim of a hereditary lunar curse, a secret that would lead to his execution if ever revealed. When he realizes the young physician has found his secret, he doesn't kill her. Instead, he traps her in a deadly pact: she must find a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) cure for his transformation before the Blood Moon arrives, or they will both be devoured by the palace's shadows. As the investigation deepens, Xiyao uncovers a conspiracy involving forbidden alchemy and ancient folklore that threatens to topple the Ming Dynasty. In a world of incense and irony, Xiyao must navigate a path where the man she is falling for is the very monster she is hunting. Can a silver needle restrain the hunger of a wolf?
