survival

Not all battles are fought with swords. Some are waged within closed rooms, between cold stares and words laced with poison. At the center of the guild hall stood Dayesh, like a man on trial. He was not bound. He was not wounded. Yet the way those seated on high regarded him was enough to make him feel measured. Evaluated for where he would be most useful. A hero? Or a weapon? "You have great potential," one of them said. "It would be a waste if you remained... alone." Dayesh understood what they meant. It wasn't praise. It was an invitation—an offer with a price. Join them. Serve a higher purpose. Give your loyalty. Not to family, not to a loved one, but to power. Dayesh remained silent. Not because he had no answer, but because those who are truly strong do not speak hastily. In a world riddled with secret alliances and quiet betrayals, loyalty is seen as a weakness. But for Dayesh, it is his strongest weapon. He does not seek rank. He is not dazzled by influence. And he does not bow to fear. Eyes watched him. Forces sought to shape him according to their will. But there are things the guild cannot buy. An embrace waiting for him at home. A family he would never trade for anything. A promise he once made. To remain true, no matter the cost. That night, a silent war began. And Dayesh... not as a weapon of the guild, but as a man who would never submit... except to his family.

When you've lost your mind, when you've been maddened by grief to the point that you become willing to given up on everything you possess... What would you do if the chance to make one wish come true is offered to you? Take it? Would you really take it? Even at the peril of your own life? *** I hid alone underneath the bed, one hand covering my mouth tightly. In the other, I held my knife. With bated breath, I listened as the heavy, dragging footsteps grew further away. The gamey smell of fresh blood made me want to retch, but I managed to hold on. I couldn't let it find me here. It was only when I finally heard the door open in the distance that I allowed myself a small sigh of relief. My grip on the knife loosened. And then, I felt a hand on my shoulder. *** (Warning: Explicit gore)

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.

I woke from a dream, unintelligible mutterings echoing in my ears. I had forgotten myself, lost my past. I looked around, only to find I was already in hell, explosions rang through the blue sky, bullets ravaged the streets like a torrent, and the fires of war burned on this land without pause. The creatures who lived here had bodies that looked fragile yet were unfazed by ordinary firearms, they formed factions for their own ends, and spent their days slaughtering one another. Then, they found me... They called themselves students, and told me this place was called Kivotos. They also addressed me as, "Sensei." ---- Source: https: ()//()www.trxs( . )cc/ () tongren/ () 8630. )(html Author: Otter of Chaos

Gerhard Virex was born in 979.M41, on an Imperial Hive-world. He regains his memories of a past life in the same year that it was overrun by Orks under a Warboss using as much dakka as they could get their hands on. All alone and isolated, forced to fight against the now resident Orks for survival, Gerhard is unwilling to accept such a fate of constant war and sets out to advance on his own. Thanks to a special power, he became the Gamer, and thanks to that, Gerhard now has a real chance. Chaos and the Xenos better hurry, because the Gamer has entered the Grim Dark Future of the 41st Millennium, and he is here to stay. ____ The content of this story doesn't belong to me and is taken from the wiki and books of GW.

Neva and Rhett—two young souls—find their heartstrings woven in love. But just as passion and peace begin to bloom, fate intervenes. Bleak, haunting circumstances scatter blades across their romance, threatening to tear them apart. Ishmael—a man with a heart of thorns—yearns to mend the wound of losing Neva. And in the end, rays of love and joy filter through the clouds of horror that darken his world—as Neva appears before him once more. Twisted fate entangles them all, revealing the Game of Sphere, as misery scorches their souls. A concealed life beyond turns its pages—one after another—gathering sin and virtue, tragedy and fortune, strength and frailty, creation, love... and hate. Illusion is where we live—in the garden of Eden before the fall of man. Illusion is serenity—an evermore sanguine of love. The vision of paradise in the New Earth sows hope deep in the soul. The delusory pleasures of this world ignite the flames that burn in oceans of fire. Illusive Eden is rapture. Illusive Eden is tragedy. The fall of man—even now bleeds red. The whisper whirls the dawn of a man—he who pretends to be the hero. --- The girl who once vowed to be his forever Now forbids him to ever appear. She refuses to recognize him, Disregarding all he ever was. He vows to protect her. Yet he is the terrifying truth she prays is a lie. He trips her, rips her apart— He's the living tragedy looming over her life. He once was her Elayne, now her hiraeth. He is the villain—pretending to be the hero. --- The Lord is the way— Steady through the wilderness. The King is the truth— Burning through the lies. The Father is the life— Breathing spirit into dust. She kneels before the Ruler, The God who shaped galaxies— He has called her a poet. Her tongue shall be anointed. Her poetry shall be the rivers of His word. She will scatter seeds in broken fields, And He will send the sun. He will send the rain. He will draw the roots down deep. He yields to the Ruler, The God of blazing holiness— He has called him a soldier. His fists shall be unclenched. The sword of the Spirit rests in his grip. He will shield the sower of the seeds, As storms rise against the harvest. His strength will be not his own, But drawn from the marrow of grace. This faith shall shake the mountains, For He has conquered the filth of the flesh. This flame will cleanse the shadows. For He has defeated the darkness. This love shall live on for eternity, For He has overcome the mortal world.

The weakest girl in the apocalypse accidentally became the obsession of multiple apex predators. Unfortunately for them, predators don’t share easily. Felicity was supposed to die on the first day of the apocalypse. Zombies devour the weak. Beastmen rule the ruins of human cities. Strength decides everything now. Felicity has none. Small, soft spoken, and completely unsuited for a world like this, she survives only because Victor finds her first. Victor is a winged apex predator feared by every beastman who crosses his path. He does not protect strangers. But once he chooses something… he does not let it go. Unfortunately for him, other predators have started noticing her too. A wolf who watches too quietly. A snake whose patience feels dangerous. A lion who refuses to leave her side. Predators who should never share anything. Except her. Because something about Felicity is changing them. And in a beast ruled apocalypse, predators were never meant to share. Unfortunately for them, Felicity might be worth learning how. ___________ 30 golden tickets = 3 extra chapters 50 golden tickets = 5 extra chapters + bonus smut 80 golden tickets = 8 extra chapters + bonus smut 100 golden tickets = 10 extra chapters + bonus smut dragon gift = 1 bonus chapter + you become a npc castle gift = the above rewards if hit, + 2 smut + npc spacecraft gift = above rewards if hit + 5 extra smuts + npc gachapon gift = above rewards if hit + 5 extra smuts + become a important side character, and all week i post 3 chapters a day instead of 2

Why did you become a hunter? Why put on armor, take up a heavy weapon, and begin this hunt? Is it to prove yourself, to pursue the tender dreams of childhood, to seek vengeance born of blood and tears, to embrace this cruel yet beautiful world? Or perhaps you simply yearn for that endless wilderness... ------------ What to expect: - No superpowers or cheat abilities - An extremely talented protagonist - No isekai/reincarnation elements - Living, breathing characters with depth - Sharp, engaging dialogue It’s okay if you’re not familiar with the Monster Hunter world but I recommend keeping a wiki open so you can quickly see what each monster looks like.

It is just as lost as he is and cannot remember its own past, but it is filled with a hope he lacks. Alice guides him forward, and as they journey through broken worlds, it might be the only one who can help him find the answers he needs and his only way of home *** Join my discord https://linktr.ee/Cr1msonLight

When we think about the end of the world these days, we usually think of some idiot in politics who doesn't really care about people and most likely has serious problems in his head, and simply presses the apocalypse button, and people are forced to live the next few years as diggers in the ruins of the world until things return to "normal" several generations later. Or the fierce result of climate change that causes irreparable natural disasters to humans and a new pandemic occurs like the one in 2020-2022 and, once again, we are back to being diggers. Or an unforeseen meteor that comes towards Earth before any government can do anything and gives us the same end as the dinosaurs, even if one part could still be saved by spending a lot of money and the other part would be left to the “lucky ones” to fend for themselves and go back to the diggers until things “return to normal” (maybe in this case, it would be faster than before but it would still take a long time). And finally, we have the astronomically small chances that it could be a combination of all this together with the release of a zombie virus that some idiot tested to maybe cure diseases, achieve immortality or just for the hell of it. The fact is, virtually no one expects the end of the world to come in the form of a fantasy Armageddon. Where some entity allows mana to enter the world and this opens portals through which fantasy monsters begin to appear, destroying and devouring everything they see in front of them. There are even RPG-style systems with missions, even if this would cause some humans to change irreversibly. But well, I've already talked a lot and look, I still have to finish my daily missions in addition to helping my father with the generator and going hunting for something to eat. Maybe I can catch an orc and see if their blood is as inedible as that of a goblin (it looks like semi-cured meat with raw eggs and liquefied fish oil). Sometimes I wish I had become a pixie like my sister. Oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself, nice to meet you, my name is Fernando or just Fer or Nando, and I'm not human. Well, I'm not anymore, at least not me, nor my family to tell the truth, now I'm a 22-year-old Dhampir with some cool skills, and as for my family... you'll meet them in a little while.

A dragon born in a pond may rule its waters—but it still needs a catalyst to ascend. Vera stood unrivalled. Across the Five Planes, no master could match his blade; no challenge could humble his spirit. He believed his strength was the result of a relentless pursuit. He believed he had reached the peak. He was wrong. When a mysterious encounter leaves him face-to-face with a power that defies logic, Vera's certainty shatters. He realises the bitter truth: he wasn't strong because of the path he walked. He walked it because he was already strong—effectively trapping himself beneath a ceiling of his own ego. Now, having glimpsed the blinding light of the Greater Heavens, Vera chooses to confront his own insignificance. To break the limits he unknowingly imposed and challenge the Guardians that stand as the ultimate gatekeepers of reality. He is no longer fighting to survive. He is fighting to transcend. What to expect: Hard Cultivation/Progression: Detailed martial arts and internal energy mechanics. Mirroring that of "Regressor's Tale of Cultivation". Philosophical Stakes: A protagonist forced to deconstruct his own identity to grow. Epic Scale: From the "pond" of the Five Planes to the cosmic heights of the Greater Heavens. Upload schedule: Everyday at 4:30 PM UTC, weekends occasionally (will leave a note on friday if otherwise)

Tjer survived Kage. A city where nothing new can be learned. Stay too long… and you will lose yourself. He escaped with only two things left: his sister, and the sword his father left him. All he wishes for is a better life—a normal life—but most especially for his little sister, who had never met the true versions of her parents. For that he makes use of his essence, a power that came from within, a power that shapes him—a power bigger than he can fathom. "Who am I again…?" A voice. One that has watched his entire life. It remembers nothing about itself… Yet the longer it stays with Tjer, the more it regains, and the more Tjer loses. Neither his past, nor his future lets him find that life he desires.

Born the year God Valley burned, Lucien Vosgrave is bored out of his mind and pushed out the door with nothing but his father's notebook and a name to find. His aim? See everything the world has to offer, cure the boredom, and have as much fun doing it as possible. The world, naturally, has other ideas.

Kaito Soren stood at the peak of existence—the King of Separation. With his power, Infinite Void, he could sever reality itself. Distance, causality, even death could not reach him. He was untouchable. Until the impossible happened. Killed by an attack that defied all logic, Kaito awakens in a nightmare world where human fears take physical form as Abominations, and terror rules as the Absolute Law. When Lilith Domina, the cold Commander of the Fourth Division, attempts to bind him with her Crimson Chains—relics said to enslave even monsters and predators of fear—they shatter the moment they touch him. For the first time, the woman who controls all through terror meets the only man who cannot be bound. Forced into a deadly alliance, Kaito must lead a squad of broken hunters against city-devouring horrors while uncovering the truth behind his impossible death. But in a world built on fear, even absolute separation has a weakness. And if the Infinite Void breaks... everything will become connected.

"It was the 20th of September. I was on this little hill with my friend, stargazing. I don't remember why we were there, but it was probably me who brought us there. Ari... oh, he used to love a ruckus. So, being in a serene, quiet area... that's me written all over it. Anyway, I clearly remember looking at the moon and complimenting what a beautiful crescent it was. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I see something crazy—like, batshit insane. This purple... supernova, whatever, came and just crashed into a star... And after that, the sky was purple. And it was gorgeous... But what followed next crushed me. I felt pain, hopelessness, despair, anger, everything... and I really mean, every bloody emotion... just crash into me from every damned angle. Why, you ask? Well, this purple crash brought this purple gas to Earth. Eh, it's called Magike. And like a dirty parasite... it just corrupted us, man. People turned into monsters and pets into these ugly, horrendous beasts. These massive cities that used to bustle with people, everything... turned into ruins. And those that survived were mentally scarred. And, with the monsters roaming around, physically as well. I lost many friends. And let me tell you this: I hope God, or whatever is out there, protects you from ever facing such a loss... I don't want to talk about these losses now. Anyway, I was saved. Well, I was chosen, rather. By survivors and—cue the drumrolls—by a 'god-like' figure. He hates calling himself a god. You have heard about him. It's the greatest Titan... Oh, come on, not Chronos. It's Atlas, dude. Yep, he chose me. And I now navigate this world with his help, and fight on with new people beside me. Yeah, hopefully I don't die soon. And, hopefully, I get to debrief once more... Also, before I go, shoutout to Nala. Good madame. Classy as always. Eugh, I gave myself the ick, hahaha. Now bye for real." -Zaire Zontes, a Teal City survivor.

Due to the whims of a higher-dimensional being called "The One", the World of Terra ushered in a Monthly Apocalypse World Update Era. Every month, the World will draw a random monthly apocalypse world update theme, and the world will transform depending on what update theme has been drawn. Starting with a Zombie Apocalypse World theme, The World of Terra became infested with zombies! As a transmigrator, Zayne Voss, who thought he was living in a normal modern world, was caught up in this madness. Fortunately, he awakened the innate ???-rank talent, the Doomsday Life Simulator System! [The Doomsday Life Simulator System allows the host to simulate your future and life in a given doomsday scenario.] [For example, the simulator will randomly draw a doomsday scenario, and one of them might be a zombie apocalypse scenario. In that case, the host can experience life in a zombie apocalypse world.] [Of course, it's not limited to that, as there are also different kinds of doomsday scenarios like the Helios Extinction Event, where the sun explodes and humanity faces such a world-ending scenario.] [Not all doomsday scenarios are winnable and survivable, as some can be a dead end. However, your goal is not to win but to survive as long as possible and attain as many achievements as possible.] [The longer you survive and the more you accomplish within that doomsday scenario, the higher your score will be. The higher the score, the greater the rewards you'll receive.] [The rewards you can receive are mostly related to the power, skill, experiences, and talent that you possessed before the doomsday life simulation ended. They will be brought back to the real world so the host can gain power from doing life simulations.] -Ding! [The host can choose one doomsday scenario from four of the following:] [A. Helios Extinction Event] [B. AI Singularity Rebellion] [C. Global Ocean Survival] [D. Acid Rain Catastrophe] Drawing the doomsday scenario called "Global Ocean Survival," where everyone started with a wooden raft on a vast ocean, Zayne grinded in the doomsday simulation to become stronger in the real world! While everyone was still running away from zombies, Zayne had already eaten a Fairy Fruit from the Global Ocean Survival World and killed all the zombies around him! *** Good day, dear readers!
