survival

A city solves hunger with structure. A reformer improves efficiency. A protector enforces order. A leader tightens policy to prevent unrest. No villains. No conquest. No war. Just the slow realization that once stability becomes system, system becomes control. And control does not loosen itself.

Coming towards him is a ninja from the enemy village holding a sharp blade! “…” Haruki closed her eyes and prepared for a second time travel. Unexpectedly, a pair of huge claws stretched out from behind him and twisted the ninja in front of him into a knot. "Yu Ta..." "Don't hurt Yuta..."

Born into uncertain times in the fractured Deccan, Fateh Muhammad is a soldier with little to his name but his sword, his faith, and an unbreakable will to rise. Serving amidst the shifting alliances of South Indian powers, he navigates a world where loyalty is bought, kingdoms fall overnight, and ambition is the only true currency. From the courts of fading sultanates to the battlefields scarred by Maratha raids and Mughal decline, Fateh Muhammad fights not for glory — but survival, honor, and the future of his bloodline. As empires weaken and new powers struggle to emerge, he must outmaneuver rivals, survive courtly intrigue, and carve a place for his family in a brutal political landscape. Yet greater than his own destiny is the shadow of the son who watches and learns — a boy who will one day shake the foundations of South India. This is not merely the story of a soldier. It is the story of the man who shaped the father of a conqueror — and whose legacy would echo through the rise of Mysore.

The world relies on Hunters: elite warriors forged in the fires of the Spirit Realm, wielding inhuman strength and the "Rune of Light." But the apex predators of this world aren’t beasts; they are Spirits. Born from divine residue and fueled by human emotion, they range from harmless floating puddles to the catastrophic entities known as Witches. A Witch is a walking apocalypse, capable of unmaking a kingdom in a weekend if she’s having a particularly bad Tuesday. Naturally, because humanity is nothing if not predictable, these engines of destruction are also sought after for their "otherworldly beauty", but there is only one way to find and tame the great spirits, venturing into the spirit realm, surviving your journey to the god tree, and being branded with the "Rune of Light." Chase is an adventurer who spends his days sweating in the dirt for copper coins and his nights dreaming of glory. He’s got the heart of a lion, the wallet of a beggar, and a moral compass that points directly toward "overpowered fighter who could kill a dragon". Its worth a shot. Chase's ultimate goal in life is to become a hunter, his nation sits directly on the border of the great white forest, a place brimming with monsters. If the monster population is not stabilized it would cause a massive wave of monsters to descend upon his nation and the surrounding nations causing many deaths and the displacement of tens of thousands. One mistake means death. One success means godhood. For Chase, the risk is worth it—because in Andromeda, you either die a monster-slayer or live long enough to become a legend.

Clara Vance had it all. Millions of followers, a beauty empire built on glamour, and a life curated for the camera. But a lost bet with her mother sends her away from a marvelous weekend trip to Mykonos and into the dusty attic of her family’s decaying ancestral manor. The catch was her inheritance. Her task? A dreary clear-out. Her discovery? A centuries-old diary belonging to her great-grandmother, Eleanor Thorne. The ink tells a story of a forgotten history. Eleanor’s forbidden obsession with her guardian and step-uncle, Casimir Guggenheim, a ruthless railroad tycoon with a heart of stone. But when Clara touches the tear-stained pages, the scent of crushed gardenias doesn’t just fill the room, it drags her back to 1879. Trapped in Eleanor’s corseted body, Clara finds herself under the roof of the very man who haunted the diary. To the world, Casimir is a cold, untouchable magnate. To Clara, he’s a puzzle she’s determined to break. The problem? Clara isn’t the timid, fragile girl Casimir remembers. She’s a 21st-century It Girl with no filter, a strategic mind for business, a total lack of respect for Gilded Age propriety and a defiance waiting for trouble to happen. While the original Eleanor was a victim of her station, Clara is ready to burn the cage down. As Clara navigates a world where a single misstep means ruin, scheming relatives see her as a pawn, and a powerful suitor sees her as nothing but a business merger. She realizes the history books were wrong. Rewriting Eleanor’s tragic end is dangerous, especially when she starts falling for the man she was never supposed to have. History says they’re a tragedy. Clara says history is about to get a makeover.

Eylan fell asleep… and woke up inside the world of Shadow Slave. Not as a hero, nor as someone special—but inside the fragile body of a boy destined to die far too soon. Now trapped in a universe where every dream can become a literal nightmare, Eylan is given a chance to rewrite a fate that was never meant to be his. The opportunities are vast: powers, echoes, paths that only someone who knows the original story could foresee. But everything comes at a price. His new Aspect hides a deep flaw—something wild, uncontrollable, capable of destroying him long before any enemy does. And as he struggles to survive hunters, Nightmares, and the lingering memories of the soul he inhabits, Eylan must face the truth: In this world, advantage can turn into a curse. And a single misstep can turn him into the very monster he fears. --- I’m using AI to translate this into English, so if any words or phrases don’t make much sense, please don’t get mad (T-T)

What if your most vivid dreams weren't dreams at all, but a window into a life that isn't yours? Since she was a baby, Vivian’s dreams have been startlingly real. She experiences the sights, the sounds, and the profound, dizzying sensation of living inside the body of an entirely different person in a world brimming with magic. But the truth is far more dangerous than an overactive imagination. Whenever she falls asleep, her consciousness swaps places with Ally, a gifted young mage in the fantastical realm of Aethelgard. It’s a phenomenon they call the Switch. Two women, bound across dimensions, living a shared existence but never able to occupy the same world at the same time. However, what started as a lifelong, disorienting secret is rapidly becoming a fight for survival. As the mysteries of their connection deepen, they draw the attention of powerful, dangerous players in both worlds—from the charming, enigmatic Alex in Vivian's reality, to the brilliantly manipulative Scholar Tristan in Ally's. With dark forces closing in, the two women must rely on their fiercely loyal protectors—Ben on Earth and Callum in Aethelgard—to help them navigate a deadly game of survival. But make no mistake: these ladies are no damsels in distress. They must unravel the ancient, cataclysmic tie that binds their souls before the shadows of one realm completely consume the other. Because the line between science and magic is fracturing, and the next time they close their eyes, they might not survive the awakening.

Ander was a teenager who every day attended school, learning about the ancient world that he could never know. He lived in one of the only seven cities protected by walls that still remained standing. One hundred years ago, the world changed forever. An unknown species of creatures, called “Hostiles”, appeared on Earth, unleashing an unprecedented plague: their bite infected and caused death in less than twenty-four hours. Humanity was taken by surprise and, in a matter of little time, the majority of the population was eliminated. With the passage of time, society advanced along with technology, raising walls that protected the cities and armored trains that connected them. One day the Hostiles, in an unknown way, managed to invade the city of Ander and bit him. However, upon dying, Ander resurrected with new abilities and a hidden power that allowed him to face them. Humanity still carries unknowns: the cure of the infection, the origin of the Hostiles… and now, the mystery of Ander. Ander will have to train to master his abilities, protect his friends, find his missing mother and show the world that he is not an enemy, but an ally. Together with other survivors, Ander finds himself in the middle of a desperate struggle for survival. But this will not be the end of his story, but the beginning of a legend. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DAILY CHAPTERS!!!!

(WARNING: R+!9 Contents) In a world torn apart by the undead, survival is no longer about just staying alive. It’s about who you’re willing to trust, what you’re willing to give up, and how far you’ll go to feel something human again. Iyisha Clarke, a young doctor with more instinct than experience, crosses paths with Malcolm Briggs, a former Navy SEAL carrying wounds deeper than just the physical. They didn’t plan to travel together, much less depend on each other. But between dodging zombies, stolen kisses, and broken boundaries, their connection becomes harder to ignore. Supplies are scarce, safe zones are shady, and sex in a zombie apocalyptic world is messier than it sounds. Some people are trying to rebuild. Others are just trying to breathe. And somewhere between a dying government and whispered hope, Iyisha and Malcolm might find more than just survival. They might find a reason to live.

༺❘✦ Ryo thought moderating online fan drama about Llewellyn, the world's most famous hero, was the worst part of his job... What he didn't expect was the System deciding his online arguments counted as combat experience and dropping him into a magical apocalypse with Llewellyn himself! He also didn't expect the Internet to start shipping them! And he certainly didn't expect the System's idea of "combat partner" to involve an absurd amount of physical contact disguised as Healing Bonuses, shared body heat, Dungeon environments that look like dates, or being randomly teleported onto Llewellyn's lap! Llewellyn might be the strongest person on Earth, but he has no one to watch his back. Luckily for him, Ryo has had to deal with his unhinged online following for years… and he is more than willing to get his hands dirty in person. ━━━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━━ Content Note: The rating goes up as the story progresses!

Finding himself Reborn as a Saiyan drifting across space, the Merun crash-lands into the martial country of the Sekigahara Confederate, a nation ruled by Martial Clans who care only for battle. Taken in by a struggling peasant family and later joining a declining clan, Merun quickly learns that in Sekigahara, the weak are trampled, and only strength determines who lives with dignity. Here, his Saiyan blood isn't enough.. He needs to learn Martial Arts. Using his knowledge of his past life and using his growing status as an inhuman martial artist, he vows to change the system that keeps it citizens suffering for the sake of war. The main character won't mess with the canon timeline too much... but for the sake of his newfound family, will he? (MC has memories of his past life as well as the MU novel, most of DBZ. However his memories are hazy and he since he wasn’t a fighter, he would still need to learn the basics.) This is a fanfic of the awesome novel Martial Unity. The main character won't be super OP so easily, I'll try to retain the balance somewhat relative to Rui.

Maverick Langley went to sleep as a struggling twenty-three-year-old freelancer and woke up as Lilith, a five-year-old girl in the worst possible place: the Warhammer 40,000 universe. In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war. Lilith wakes in agony, trapped in a body that isn't hers, with no memory of how she got there. Beside her is Eve, her twin sister, a child with glowing red eyes and inhuman strength who has never known kindness or warmth. Together, they are experiments. Weapons. Failures. When the creators who made them decide to dispose of their mistakes, the twins must fight for survival in a galaxy that sees them as abominations. With only each other to rely on, they escape into a universe built on faith, fire, and fury. Stranded on a war-torn hive world, the sisters must navigate the watchful eyes of the Imperial Inquisition, learn what it means to be human, and hide secrets that could doom them both. Lilith carries the mind of an adult in a child's broken body. Eve knows only one truth: Lilith is everything to her. Together, they are stronger than alone. Apart, they are vulnerable. And in the Imperium of Man, weakness is heresy. As dangerous powers awaken within Lilith and unseen forces take interest in the strange twins, they must learn to survive in a galaxy where even the Emperor's protection has limits. "In the darkness between stars, who protects the Emperor's broken children?"
