survival

The world did not end in fire. It rotted. Civilization collapsed overnight. Cities fell, demons descended, the dead began walking - not mindlessly, but under a growing, forced will. Vincent, an ordinary man drowning in debt, clung to fragile hope. Then, hell arrived - he became something worse than a victim. A mysterious zombie virus descended, but Vincent did not turn. He awakened as a carrier. He became the first infected - a Progenitor. Every life claimed by the virus strengthens him...and stains his soul. He walks a razor's edge between savior and catastrophe. Survival is sin and requires everything. Venturing into ruins, facing demons, and making impossible choices - there is no good choice. No gain. No winning or losing. No choosing the good. Only choosing the lesser evil. Meanwhile, trust fractures. Humanity's last forces are not as united as they appear. Ghosts of the past hunt them. False grief hides calculated malice. While they battle demons, something far more terrifying has already infiltrated among them. Factions rise, hidden powers awaken. One question looms over the ruins of the world. Can a man who commands the dead still save the living - or will he become the very end he fears? Hopes are fading. The role of humanity seems insignificant. And the end? Certain. In the shadows, unknown forces are at bay. Bound by the universal rules at the moment, restrained. But time is ticking. The day draws near. What fate awaits humanity and the world once the chains break and the mysterious forces can act freely?

Terra II, a world split into vast planes, where deserts stretch ceaselessly and horrors—roamed without rest. It is a land scarred by self made nightmares that never fade. The Common Era, where the concept of happiness has been abandoned. No story begins with joy, and none end with peace. One mistake—a misplaced word, a fleeting gesture—is all that it took. Strength was never the problem. You survived long enough to know that looking strong, feeling strong, and being strong are three different lies people tell themselves to keep moving. Terra is heavy. The roads are long and boundless like the deserts. And family...family—that has been stripped away. Once? Twice? no, Thrice? You’ve walked. You’ve run. You’ve shot at everything. You've seen your friends perish away, your self-made family rotting away, and how do you cover it? By carrying a carload of supplies through every kind of conceivable catastrophe. ———————— I'm pretty nervous how this version will be received and since i went for both magic and a modern setting. I'm not really good as creating things so i took inspiration from some well known media, so if it seems familiar, i tried as best i could to make it my own. but idk. Lets see, it starts to pick up the pace slowly. It's a slow born sort of thing. short ass rant, lol. Kristen out, peace.

Path Of War takes readers into Masashi Kimoto's world of ninjas that's filled with martial arts and political struggles. The year is 2026. A devout Christian named Arthur Bennett wins a lottery to participate in Elysium's experiment. As the other six participants—a mix of personalities with varying degrees of Japanese animation knowledge—prepare to enter the simulation, Arthur remains the only one who has never indulged in anime. Upon entering this new world, he discovers an unsettling truth: if he dies here, he dies on earth. Calls for him to be released from the experiment go unanswered. Now he must deal with real-world consequences such as hunger, thirst, hygiene, and even death. Angered that he was deceived, he abandons all sense of logic and vows to become a villain no one had ever seen coming.

Wondered if a cryptomining app would make you a Superhero..or villain? Damen Dark is an unfortunate orphan trapped in a cruel household, forced to endure the abuse of his uncle, his family, and a world that seems determined to break him. One ordinary day, he receives a mysterious link on his phone advertising a new app—DemCoin, a cryptocurrency mining program. Damen knows it’s probably a scam. But curiosity gets the better of him. At first, the app seems harmless. It “mines” coins by targeting living beings—stray animals… and people. With little expectation, Damen uses it as a private outlet for his bottled-up anger, siphoning coins from those who torment him: his family, his classmates, the bullies who rule the streets. It feels like justice. It feels good. But DemCoin is far more than a mining app. As Damen accumulates enough coins, hidden features unlock—features that allow him to target individuals and steal their powers. What begins as survival turns into temptation, and temptation into transformation. With every stolen ability, Damen grows stronger… and more dangerous. Now faced with unimaginable power, Damen must choose who he will become. Will he take revenge on a world that never showed him mercy, or rise as a hero to protect it? The truth lies somewhere in between. In a cruel twist of fate, Damen soon realizes the irony of power: the stronger he becomes, the greater the threats that hunt him. And worse still, DemCoin is not just a tool—it is a force, subtly guiding his path. Whether he knows it or not, the app isn’t shaping him into a savior. It is forging a supervillain. And Damen Dark may have no choice but to become exactly that.

Some people don't die. They're erased. Yuki Ayano's parents were hospitalized and trapped in a coma from years of neglect. The worst part? She knew it was all her fault.  Stuck alone in her house that reeked of garbage, the only company she had left were her dolls that kept her from going insane.  Desperate to solve her mental issues, her teacher suggested she see a therapist named Sasaki Shin. He opened his clinic before sunrise and closed it before most people could even wake up, but what really caught Yuki's attention was the two strands of hair hanging over his forehead, making him look like the devil. During the therapy session Sasaki casually asked if she believed in the supernatural, like demons or cursed spirits. Of course, Yuki didn't believe in them. She had no reason to. Not until the next day, when she saw her classmate Igarashi Kenji vanish right in front of her eyes, with nothing left behind but his clothes on the pavement. The next morning, Yuki walked into class fully expecting someone to ask where Igarashi was. Instead, attendance was called and his name never came up, as if it had been erased the same way he was. Thus, Yuki Ayano's life had changed forever, as she realized she was the only person left who remembered he had ever existed.

Lin Yunfeng screwed up. Big time. One mistake. That’s all it was. A stupid, drunken mistake. So why the hell was Ren Muchen chasing him down a creepy-ass abandoned hallway like a maniac?! "You slept with me and ran? Fine! Let’s see how long you last!" Uh, yeah. No thanks. Yunfeng ran faster, heart pounding—until he skidded to a stop. Right in front of a half-rotten zombie. "Oh, come on!" Before he could even process his impending doom, the thing lunged. His life flashed before his eyes. Then—WHACK. A massive axe took the zombie’s head clean off. And just like that, Muchen was grabbing his collar, hauling him up like a ragdoll. "You’re not dying," Muchen said, looking way too smug for someone who just saved his life. "Not today. Not anytime soon." Yunfeng barely got his breath back before Muchen dropped the biggest bomb ever. "Because we’re having a baby." Wait. What?! Yunfeng clutched his stomach. "H-How do you know?!" "You KNEW?!" Muchen shook him like a damn rattle. "And you still ran? Take responsibility, you bastard! We made a life!" Well. Shit. There was officially no running from this.

In just a span of a year, the entire world was completely tormented by earthquakes and tsunamis killing almost half of the population. And when humans thought it was the end, the monster appeared. Undead and mutated monsters hunted down the remaining humans. Weak end up as the prey and the strongest rule. Lin Yunfeng, a 25-year-old construction worker, was pulled into the whirlwind of this world when he stumbled upon the Monster Ender system by accident. With a system and a small godly beast in hand, he embarked on his journey to be number one. Because only the strongest can make the rules. He wanted to be the one at the top just so he can restore the balance of this world.

"Making your own decisions by yourself... what does that really mean?" Most people never ask themselves that question, but some have no choice but to face it. Following an incident that caused the disappearance of the two people she relied on the most, Liu, a young girl just beginning her adolescence, is forced to face hardships on her own. Having lost her grandparents, the two pillars of her life, she had no choice but to make choices and decisions by herself... Good choices as well as bad ones... Good decisions as well as bad ones... This leads her to discover a new world—or rather, to discover the true vastness of the world she has lived in all along. An adventure filled with goals to accomplish, but uncertain outcomes...

With powerful bodies and the blessing of the spirits the beast clans are amongst the most powerful warriors in the world. Using their powerful bodies they fight creatures far larger than themselves and upon awakening their bloodline nature itself bends to their will. Making them feared by nations and respected on the battlefield. This great power given to them by the spirits has naturally led to a sense of entitlement for every awakened warrior and their tribesmen. So, what if you are from a clan that has never awakened a bloodline? That is the problem the Beklaedning clan of the werewolf race faces. Having never had any member of their clan awaken a bloodline and possessing fur as gray as ash with blood-red markings marring them has led other clans to believe they are cursed. They have been exiled by other beast clans fated to live out their days as outcasts to their own kind. Yet instead of giving in, like many other clans, the Beklaedning clan decided to fight back and rise to the top. Chronos Ulv, son to the clan lady and the local lord, travels the world as he perfects his skills and discovers long forgotten secrets. He hopes the secrets of his clan are amongst these discoveries.

And thus the heavens cried: Woe to the earth... woe unending, woe without reprieve. Judgment is here. Judgment eternal. The wrath of the Divine Will shall scorch this Epoch and the next, onto the very end. Its eyes will never know sleep, its curses shall endure for the ages. Forever and evermore. Madness is the affliction. The damned may never rest, and evil shall be for all eternity. A thousand millennia ago, the earth was swallowed in sin and chaos. In a world steeped in evil and madness, the offspring of the Gryghori and their twisted creations roam the earth. Mankind has managed to survive within their walled cities, but in a land scourged by abominations, only monsters can live forever. Welcome Heretic — To the City of Monsters.

Seventeen years ago, humanity nearly went extinct. unknown extraterrestrial beings known as the Veyliths descended upon Earth. Cities were destroyed. Nations collapsed. More than seventy percent of humanity was killed. But the dead did not remain dead. The corpses of the fallen were transformed into monstrous zombie-like creatures known as Fleshborns, creatures born from an alien infection that humanity still doesn't fully understand. With the surface overrun by Veyliths and Fleshborns, the remaining survivors were forced underground. Massive shelters known as Bunkers became humanity's final refuge, eventually growing into enormous underground civilizations hidden beneath the ruined world above. Seventeen years later, humanity has survived. But the surface remains lost. Now, humanity has developed a weapon capable of changing that. Flesh Killers. Specialized weapons engineered to destroy Fleshborns and give humanity a chance to reclaim the world they lost.

In a fantastical world where strength reigns supreme, power determines everything. With strength, you can have it all—you can ignore reason, abandon morality and virtue, and even trample on the most basic human rights. ...

The White Tiger Gang was the biggest and most feared group in the country, clawing its way from the bottom to the top all because of a single individual, Maximus Darn. Reaching the Peak, he found nothing he couldn’t have. One day, though, he lost it all. Betrayed from the inside, remembering the last few words: “Money rules all.” In death, Maximus finds he has been given a second chance, but not in his own body, but in the body of a young man named Max Stern. “Wait, the Stern Family!!” Now, he was the heir to the wealthiest family in the country, the Stern Family. With his newfound wealth, he was given a whole new life, but living in the Stern family wasn’t the easy life one would expect. “Spoiled brats, Wealthy snobs trying to one-up me. You have no idea where I’ve come from. I’ll show you all, what happens when you mess with White Tiger.” Follow Maxmius as he builds a New empire using his wealth, and faces the very Gang, he created.

Everyone wants a second chance until they're trapped in an impossible loop. Grey wasn't one to lust after redos. He lived life with his heart on his sleeve and a pep in his step, but the universe had other plans for him, plans that started with a knife in the gut and a survival game show warring alien races used to take the edge off. The good news was that his new Spirit, Prometheus, didn't ask him whether he wanted a redo or not before it yanked his soul back in time and whiplashed it with the worst case of déjà vu he had ever experienced. The bad news was that the producers of this stupid survival game show had for some reason chosen to target him. The robot arms meant to fit his Nexis Suit glitched, and now he couldn't communicate with their damned system. To make matters worse, they were painting him out to be some streaking, perverted madman all because the viewers found it hilarious. No system. No stats. No rewards. He was stuck in this hellscape with the strength of a human and no way to improve. All he could do was die. And die again. And then die again. He'd be damned if he didn't piss on every one of their graves. [Warning. Obscene gesture detected] [This is your first warning. If there is a second—] "FUCK YOU!"

Nanajūhachi Asuka, a soul from the 78th district of Rukongai, is cast into the world of Demon Slayer as a disposable experiment. Lacking a "system" or "cheat-codes," he relies solely on his raw Reiryoku (spiritual power) and the survival instincts of a street dog. Asuka is taken in by Tetsushin Arisaki, mastering Wind Breathing alongside his peer, Suzune. This peace is shattered when Lower Rank Two, Rokuro, massacres their home. Master Arisaki sacrifices himself, triggering the awakening of Asuka’s unique ability: Nugata—the power to devour demon essence and convert it into spiritual energy. Driven by cold vengeance, Asuka joins the Demon Slayer Corps. His presence at Mount Natagumo changes the tide, as his "serrated" strikes—infused with spiritual pressure—permanently stall demon regeneration. This "new variable" catches the attention of Muzan Kibutsuji, who begins purging the Lower Ranks to prepare for this emerging threat. Through training at the Butterfly Estate and sparring with the Mist Hashira, Muichiro Tokito, Asuka realizes a vital truth: traditional Wind Breathing is a "shoe that doesn't fit" his spiritual nature. He begins the journey to transcend established styles, seeking to forge an Original Breath that bridges the gap between a Soul Society ghost and a mortal swordsman.

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.
