survival

After a brutal clash between the Imperial Planetary Defense Force and the rebel armies, the battlefield is left littered with wreckage, corpses, and abandoned wargear. Li Qinwu, armed with the unique Search–Attack–Retreat System, sees not chaos—but opportunity. A fallen soldier’s laser rifle? Salvaged—capable of firing Level 3 rounds. An abandoned armored suit? Claimed—Level 4 protection. A political commissar’s bomb pistol? A rare find—loaded with devastating Level 5 rounds. Even the shattered remains of a Leman Russ tank hold hidden value, containing a powerful Gold-Class Tank Battery. Everything is taken. Back at his hidden underground base, Li Qinwu converts scavenged war spoils into resources—trading with shadowy gang contacts for materials to expand and upgrade his stronghold. Soon, the hideout begins producing precision-grade weaponry and high-output energy cores. Clad in multiple layers of power armor, he returns to the battlefield—not just to survive, but to hunt. Heretics fall. Power grows. Favor from the Emperor increases. And with every step forward, Li Qinwu moves closer to an absurd yet undeniable goal— Ascension to the Golden Throne.

Originally, I was just a "Cloud Hammer" (Warhammer 40K) player in 2025. After criticizing the Emperor's depiction in a cosplay video and giving a thumbs-up to a "gender-swapped Emperor" instead, my phone flashed—and I found myself transported to another world. Where am I? —I transmigrated into a high-quality replica of the Emperor of Mankind. —Specifically, I was stuffed into the mind of a dying mortal girl, a vessel so fragile she would overheat and break down at the drop of a hat. From then on, this little girl became the Empire's "Golden Miracle." I became the high-dimensional "Grandpa" voice in her head. Battlefield collapsing? With a single command of "Enough," my Golden Light swept through the Garden of Nurgle. A Grey Knight wants to kneel and sacrifice himself? "Step down, son of the Titans." Guilliman arrived, utterly shocked: "Father... is it truly you?" I immediately adopted a lighthearted, comforting tone: "My Thirteenth Son, you did a great job." The little girl was timid; yet the moment she emitted golden light, the battle commanders immediately knelt. Every time I log on, the Empire rejoices. Every time I log off, the Empire goes on high alert. Every time I return, the heretics tremble.

"I died in Chapter 7. Brain-dead by page 12, just disposable lore for the real hero. But I opened my eyes—and drew Death (XIII)." Evren sees the geometry of fate: termite rot three meters ahead, gas leaks in ancestral cellars, male collarbones behind gauze veils. His [Cursed Mouth] speaks these truths with blunt, devastating accuracy. The world calls it a demon curse. He calls it structural analysis. Now he wields the Rumoured Deck—22 Major Arcana, 22 ghost contracts. Each secret housed, each foundation laid, makes him heavier, more materially real, harder for the manga's "Correction" to snap him back to his canon death. Collect all 22. Become so true the Author's ending breaks against your weight. Or be erased by the story that demands you die on schedule. He calculates death with a deck of ghosts. The only question is whether he collapses the panel borders first—or the plot swallows him whole.

Ender traveled to the world of Swallowed Star. If possible, he would have loved to cling to the protagonist Luo Feng’s leg, but all he knew was that his planet belonged to the Molten Rock Empire—he knew nothing else. Fortunately, he possessed an extraordinary comprehension of the innate laws and 32 times the initial gene level as his starting advantage. This allowed him to rise from an ordinary cultivation planet within the Molten Rock Empire to the stage of the Universe Pinnacle Genius Battle. At that point, he discovered that this version of Swallowed Star was somewhat different from what he remembered— “What? Humans have 1,004 universe countries?!” “What? The strongest participant in this Universe Pinnacle Genius Battle is Kedi?!” Only then did Ender realize that he had traveled too far back in time—even Luo Feng’s future teacher, King Zhenyan, had not yet been born. Traveled too far? It didn’t matter. Ender claimed that he possessed a legacy—one even stronger than Luo Feng’s—and that in the future, he would stand above the God King! Note: The protagonist has both talent and inheritance, and the author has only read Swallowed Star! Only read Swallowed Star! Only read Swallowed Star! (Important things should be said three times.) The protagonist will be upgraded in Chaos City, a clone will appear later, and the protagonist should not be treated as a typical transmigrator. (Foreword: Please do not consider the protagonist a normal Transmigrator, as normal Transmigrators do not lose their memories...)

Trapped in Aetheria, a dying dream made real, millions face certain death if their avatars fall. E-sports phenom Caden leads a desperate fight for survival against brutal game mechanics and ruthless players, seeking an escape from this beautiful yet deadly digital prison.

The Empire erased my clan in a single night. Our name vanished from the records. Our lands burned. Our people disappeared. I survived. Alone. With my brother's and others' sacrifice. A man called Master saved me and brought me to a hidden place deep inside the Empire, where children like me were gathered. Children with bloodlines. Children who had nothing left. Under him, we didn’t learn how to live. We learned how to kill. Bandits. Monsters. Revenge. At first, every death followed me into my dreams. Now I sometimes forget their faces. Month after month, the missions grow bloodier, and the boy I once was is slowly disappearing. Because the truth is simple. We are not survivors. We are weapons. And I think… I am becoming a very good one.

Posted on Royal Road under the same name: In a world split between two kingdoms and haunted by demons born from humanity's own failures, sixteen year old Akio Sekishiro wants one thing; to change it. Not for glory. Not for recognition. Just because if no one tries, the world stays broken. So he and his closest friend Kai join the cadets, Aurelia's front line against demons and the rebel forces of Verthasis. It should be the beginning of something good. It isn't that simple. Because Akio's goodness has always been performed rather than felt, his mercy mistaken for instability, his idealism slowly revealed as something built on a foundation he refuses to examine. And as the missions grow harder and the world refuses to cooperate with his beliefs, the gap between the hero he performs and the person he actually is begins to crack open. A Living Lie follows Akio's psychological unraveling and reconstruction: through guilt, self-deception, and the slow realization that the lie he's been living might be the only thing keeping him standing. Alongside him, Kai fights his own quieter battle. And somewhere in the wreckage of everything they cause and everything they lose, both of them are forced to answer the same question. Do you need to deserve life to keep living it?

Mateo “Teo” Serrano has always lived between worlds — the son of a strict Jehovah’s Witness father, the secret father of three children, and a musician too afraid of his own talent to chase it. He drinks, he smokes, he runs from responsibility, and the guilt is eating him alive. But everything changes the night he throws himself in front of a bullet… and survives. Teo awakens in a hidden safehouse with impossible powers — invincibility, telekinesis, flight, and a strange glow beneath his skin. Watching over him is Celeste, a mysterious woman with eyes that burn like gold and a past she refuses to explain. What Teo doesn’t know is that Celeste is a fallen angel — an exile who has spent centuries killing for the U.S. government to atone for a rebellion she regrets. And the bullet that should have killed him was meant for someone else entirely. As Teo’s powers grow, so does the connection between them. Celeste sees a light in him she thought she lost forever. Teo sees a path to redemption he never believed he deserved. But Threshold — the black‑budget agency that controls Celeste — wants them both. And Teo’s awakening is no accident. A broken man rising. A fallen angel seeking grace. A love powerful enough to rewrite destiny. This is the story of how a man who failed everyone becomes the protector he was born to be — and how a fallen angel finds her way home.

“You were never meant to live in this world… and yet, the mirror chose you.” Aralyn was a nobody. She was just an orphaned girl trying to survive in a cruel city, hiding from a past too painful to name, but everything changes the night she stumbles on a strange mirror lying in the middle of the street. The second she touches it, she's pulled into another realm—a world of magic, monsters, and secrets. Thrown into the prestigious Shadowvale Academy, a school where witches fly, spells burn through walls, and students are powerful enough to kill with a glance, Aralyn is the only one with no magic, no status, and no clue what she's doing. To make matters worse, her roommate is a lethal beauty who wants her dead, the teachers don’t trust her, and the students think she's a joke. Except… she’s not, not really. Because something is waking inside her, something ancient and something dangerous. And soon, the world will know that the powerless girl from nowhere? She’s the one the prophecies warned about. The chaos bringer, the storm, and the girl who will burn the world down… or save it. But becoming the most powerful witch in the realm comes with a price. Shadows follow her, secrets haunt her, and four impossibly powerful beings, all dangerous in their own right, seem drawn to her for reasons no one can explain. Allies? Lovers or enemies waiting to strike? One thing’s for sure: in a place like Shadowvale, trust is a luxury… and survival is almost impossible. "In Shadowvale, trust no one, love no one, and whatever you do—don’t underestimate the “crazy” witch."

Whispers of the Stones is a dark fantasy novel that unfolds across the fragile boundary between reality and myth. The story begins on a storm-lashed shore, where Adam rescues a mysterious man who appears to belong to another time altogether. This single act ignites a chain of events that binds two worlds and awakens forces long buried beneath stone, blood, and forgotten oaths. At the heart of the novel stands Arthur, a warrior whose body and blood become the key to an ancient prophecy foretelling the end of one era and the birth of another. Poisoned blades, masked sages, a golden serpent, and the cryptic will of the entity known as Bolus the Colossus shape a labyrinth of power, fate, and deception. As kingdoms maneuver and unseen guardians observe, survival evolves into a struggle against destiny itself. Blending psychological depth with mythic symbolism, Whispers of the Stones explores themes of identity, sacrifice, and the illusion of control. Truth is fragmented, enemies wear many faces, and even time bends under the weight of forgotten histories. In this world, stones do not merely endure — they remember, and they whisper.

A man awakes in a forest surronded by corpses in a new body now having to survive this new world filled with monsters cannibals and much,much more.
