survival

On his twenty-first birthday, John Skuna awakens to a destiny he never asked for—a grimoire so small it barely deserves the name. Two fragile pages, and yet, within them lies a power that could shatter or reshape the world. In a society where magical bloodlines define strength and worth, John finds himself caught between ancient legacies and hidden truths. The S, P, and F bloodlines rule the known order, while whispered legends speak of the elusive SKs—mages who thrive on the belief of others. But with a grimoire unlike any ever seen, John must uncover whether his gift is a curse, a weapon, or the key to a forgotten magic. And in a world where respect can be as deadly as despair, every page he turns may rewrite not only his fate, but the fate of everyone around him.

"For millennia, mankind and the djinn have been locked in an endless war of occupation. As a result of this conflict, the number of lives lost is immeasurable as nations rose and fell over time. Various factions and armies rose to face the djinn threat in order to prevent the occupation of the human realm by the hostile djinn invaders. But as of the last few centuries, there has been a stalemate between the two with no side taking any decisive action over the other. That is until a series of seemingly small encounters would result in a butterfly effect that would change the course of history forever. Whether that was for better or worse was still yet to be decided."

[ Condolences on your untimely death, do you wish to compete for a second chance?█ ] Bennett, a college student who spends more time at Renaissance faires than at home, is better prepared than most participants when he finds himself trapped inside a simulation that expects him to role-play his way through a series of death games. Conversely, Chase took all of his four-round head start within that same simulation to adjust. This one-year-younger punk, with more than his fair share of piercings and tattoos, could only cope thanks to his athletic physique honed through years of gymnastics, track and field, and… pole dancing? Despite their initial disputes, they team up and slowly grow closer as they struggle through the Purgarion System’s plots full of eldritch horrors, historical inaccuracies, and, the greatest challenge of all, awkward social situations. *** WTB tags for Unlimited Flow, or at least Horror, and Slow Burn. The instances will typically be historical; some will include fantasy. MC/ML: Sword-loving nerd with stage fright x socially lacking, in-denial bisexual disaster fitness fanatic. Relationship type: Slowburn, mildly antagonistic strangers to teammates to close friends to finally lovers after their individual realizations that they’re both deep in the closet. Fade-to-black switch (although not an even 50/50 split)

In the sprawling, subterranean city of New Lekki, researcher Amina seeks her father's killer, only to be hunted down by the murderer himself. Forced to flee to the deadly, ice-aged surface, she forms an unusual alliance with Sullei, a fierce, unstable surface dweller. This cooperation between a sheltered cave dweller and a solitary surface dweller quickly deepens into something more than companionship, as Amina learns her father's killer also wiped out Sullei’s entire tribe. Bound by shared tragedy, they must fight monstrous human experiments and the psychotic mastermind behind them to save their fragile world before it collapses.

A Plant Master from a prosperous magical era died and reincarnated as a physically defective Sub-Beast on the Beastman Continent. Orphaned right after birth, he was raised by the entire tribe. Kaelen thought he would live a peaceful, uneventful life until the end of his days. Unexpectedly, during an instance where he accidentally wandered into a cave where a beastman was in a state of frenzy, he was violated by the beastman Sane. After that unintended night, neither of them liked the other, so they reached a secret agreement to keep the matter quiet. Sane took responsibility for providing Kaelen with daily necessities and various new seeds until one of them found a mate. Thanks to these supplies, Kaelen began using his Plant Master abilities from his past life to farm step by step, transforming the barren land around his house into a lush, little green farm. What Sane didn't expect was that the more he interacted with Kaelen, watching how quietly and gently Kaelen cared for each young sprout, the more adorable he found Kaelen to be. Sane grew to like being around Kaelen more and more, constantly reminiscing about the fresh scent of grass and vegetation lingering on Kaelen's body. Could it be... I've fallen for him? While Sane was still tangled up in his own feelings and had yet to realize that Kaelen's body was secretly gestating a little egg, Kaelen's bountiful magical harvests had already alerted the outside world. A whole bunch of stinky beastmen with formidable backgrounds began swarming around his soft, sweet-smelling darling to vie for Kaelen's attention. There was the incredibly arrogant Young Chief of the Lion Tribe, the fierce Intermediate Warrior of the High City, the Oracle of the Temple holding supreme authority... Sane: “...” Get lost, all of you! That's my son's Papa!

PROJECT: APEX Humanity was an experiment. Oops. The world didn’t end. It upgraded. One day, reality glitches. Systems activate. Powers awaken. And somewhere out there, something starts watching humanity like it just opened a new save file. Welcome to Project: Apex — a mysterious initiative where survival isn’t a right… it’s a ranking.

Because in this world… You’re either climbing to Apex — Or you’re XP. Trait-stealing. Sword-slinging. Enemies-to-co-bloodbath. you can find me on Instagram; @r0h1th_

One minute, Penelope is laying in a hospital bed accepting her fate, and the next she transmigrated into a post-apocalyptic novel. What? The opening scene was a famous one where she drugged the male lead and plotted against him. The male lead hated the original owner and wanted to kill her. First Step: Stay away from the male lead. Second Step: Stay away from the female lead. Easy, right? Wrong. Why are both leads determined to be around me? A/N: Although they are in the apocalypse, this story is mainly about the family. How they survive and keep their morality while humanity is disappearing. It will focus on familial and romantic relationships. Zombies will be apart of it but not a priority.

Ryo Kenzaki was good at being invisible. Just another high schooler, keeping his head down and waiting for each day to end. Then a star fell from the sky. When Ryo pulls a dying woman from the crater it leaves behind, he learns the world he knows is already breaking. Beyond it lies the Hunting Realm—a place where monsters are born from fallen Hunters, and something is beginning to push through. Hunted by a creature he cannot understand, Ryo is dragged to a sanctuary between worlds and forced into a choice that was never really his: take up a Kizugami, a living blade forged from wounds, or die before dawn. But the blade doesn’t obey. It judges. As the weapon begins to search his soul, Ryo is pulled into a war he never asked to join—one shadowed by an impossible Eye in the sky, a relentless Kaimon on his trail, and an ending that may already have been decided. Ryo never wanted to be a Hunter. But if becoming one is the only way to protect what remains, he’ll have to answer a far more dangerous question: When the world strips everything from him, can he still stand as himself once more?

In Hollywood, nothing is real—not the smiles, not the red carpets, and certainly not the love stories. Riley Carter, America’s latest obsession, has everything: flawless beauty, an Oscar nomination, and a mansion with views to die for. But beneath the spotlight, she’s suffocating—craving something genuine in a world built on illusion. Elena Harper: brilliant, ruthless, and breathtakingly untouchable. As the CEO of a global media empire, Elena doesn't do feelings. She does mergers, million-dollar deals, and glass-walled solitude. But when a high-stakes project throws Riley into her orbit, sparks fly—and not the friendly kind. What begins as a cold professional entanglement slowly turns into something neither woman expected. But with paparazzi on their heels, secrets buried deep, and careers on the line, the question isn’t if they’ll fall for each other—it’s whether the world will let them survive it.
