survival

In the mid-21st century, a brilliant but disillusioned strategist and historian meets an untimely end, only to awaken in a world he has only studied. He is now Christian Eskildsen, an 18-year-old Danish Baron in the year 1864, a time of profound crisis for Denmark as it reels from a devastating defeat against Prussia and Austria. While he inherits the Baron’s memories and language, he retains the full force of his own intellect, personality, and—most crucially—his encyclopedic knowledge of the next 150 years of history. He sees the grim future awaiting his new homeland: a slow decline into European obscurity, a minor power perpetually overshadowed by its aggressive neighbors. But within this grim reality, he also sees a singular, audacious opportunity. Armed with the knowledge of future technologies, untapped global resources, and the fatal political missteps of his rivals, Christian rejects the path of quiet survival. He resolves to accomplish the impossible. Starting with the modernization of his small barony, Christian begins a ruthless and calculated campaign to seize the levers of national power. His goal is absolute: to dismantle the fragile Danish democracy, establish a powerful and efficient Absolute Monarchy loyal to his vision, and launch Denmark into the great game of nations. He will use his foresight to claim resource-rich colonies in Africa and Asia, build a navy to rival the great powers, and forge a Danish Empire strong enough to secure its destiny against the rising tide of a new, brutal age of imperialism. The Danish Empire is a saga of relentless ambition, political realism, and strategic genius. It chronicles the journey of a man caught between ages, who must wrestle with the morality of becoming a conqueror to save a nation, and who is willing to pay any price in iron, salt, and blood to carve his empire upon the map of the world

Achan Allare has spent his life running from his father’s legacy. A man once revered as the greatest Babaylan, a Spiritual Healer, whose supposed miracles once inspired awe. But Achan knows the truth: his father was no miracle worker. The power that once made him legendary had long since withered, tainted by the abuse of such power. Yet, unwilling to let go of his status, his father continued the illusion by using him. Forced into the role of a vessel, Achan became the façade of his father’s failing power, paraded before desperate souls who clung to false hope. And when the deception finally caught up with them, it cost his father his life. Now, Achan lives a quiet, ordinary existence- free from superstition, free from manipulation. Until they come. An influential family, desperate enough to believe. Taken against his will, Achan is thrust into a world he vowed to leave behind, commanded to take his father’s place and restore the health of their company’s sole heir. He refuses. He knows the cost of deception, knows the ruin that comes from clinging to fading miracles. But when he uncovers the truth behind their illness- a Curse that shouldn’t exist, that spreads suffering beyond its victims. He finds himself unable to turn away. With his freedom slipping through his fingers, Achan faces an impossible choice: fight against the truth he never wanted to reveal or embrace the very deception that destroyed his father- before it destroys him too. Bound to the heir through forces beyond his control, he must unravel dark secrets, confront the specter of his father’s past, and decide whether to wield a power he never asked for. But with danger lurking in the shadows, the question remains. Will he escape, or has he already been claimed by the legacy he tried to outrun?

Megumi Fujiboma, a boy who met an untimely end, awakens to find himself reincarnated as the head of the prestigious Fujiboma household, a branch family of the revered Boma clan. From the moment of his birth, everyone eagerly anticipated the growth of this remarkable heir. However, their enthusiasm quickly faded when Megumi was revealed to lack external abilities, and was declared unfit to become an exorcist—one of those destined to drive the world away from darkness. Yet, Megumi was not one to be easily defeated. He possessed a powerful binding system that equipped him to transform his circumstances far sooner than expected. [Target successfully bound] ******** [Talent has successfully awakened: Grade One Fire Talent] [Receiving tenfold the rewards] ******** With each stride he took, however, a new challenge emerged: his inferiority in external energy. "If one cannot harness the profound forces of light and darkness, then their latent talent is rendered completely useless." ... And to make things worse, he possessed an ability that had a very small, but catastrophic drawback.

"Now, go forth, my mortal champion! Conquer this world—or else!" I lived a painfully average life and died by a stupid, stupid accident, but a goddess interfered, giving me a second chance in another world. There, I became royalty—the lazy kind with almost no obligations, free to live in peace and luxury for the rest of my days. Sounds like a dream, right? In reality, it was anything but—because I became *BEE* royalty. A Drone Bee, doomed to die of old age in 2 months! (A humanoid bee, thankfully, but still a bee in all the ways that matter.) The only way to increase my lifespan is to develop and grow my bee colony—a deadly task in a vicious world like this one. There are murderous insect monsters, colossal beasts trampling the earth, other civilizations, natural disasters, and the bitchy patron goddess who absolutely hates me. But as long as I have my brains, my bees, and the powerful genes my system gives me, my Bee Empire will be unstoppable! === For those who want to know more: This is a wholesome comedic story, but it has some dark moments. The focus is on kingdom building, survival as an empire, and interacting with MC’s beautiful bee wife and adorable bee daughters. The bees are all humanoid (see pictures) and human-sized. However, they are still bees in their ways of life and mentality. Although there’s a system, real growth comes from putting effort and time. Nothing happens in an instant in this story, unless it’s trouble. MC acts like an idiot sometimes (oftentimes), but he’s not actually stupid-stupid. When it comes to strategic decisions, he uses logic and reason. Even if you might disagree with it. Also, there will be no smut (ecchi is a fair game), incest, NTR, harem or BL. === Discord is up! Find it at -> https://linktr.ee/Garessta Updates: 2 chapters/day, right after the reset (with a 5% chance of running late). Reply to author's pinned review if you have questions.

Itsuki somehow ends up in the world of Demon Slayer, stuck in the body of a dying beggar with no food, no strength, and no way to survive. He has a system that can make him stronger by eating… but what’s the point if he’s too weak to even find food? Just when he thinks it’s over, someone reaches out—a kid with rough, beat-up hands—and helps him up. That small act of kindness changes everything. Now Itsuki has a second chance. He’s in a world full of demons and danger, but he’s not going down without a fight. If getting stronger means eating and surviving one day at a time, then that’s exactly what he’ll do.

[You have successfully acquired all significant requirements and experiences to trigger the hidden role. Would you like to accept it?] Nathaniel's eyes grew dim as he lost his consciousness, barely seeing the text with blurry and unfocused vision. His heart pumping slower and slower. He could feel his limbs slowly getting colder with the large amount of blood loss. His heart barely able to pump enough blood to support his body. Not to mention the lack of oxygen due to his difficulty of breathing with his ribs crushed. > [ Accept ] or [ Deny ] 'Fuck! My card's still there...' Was Nathaniel's last thought before his eyes lost its luster. The scene was dead silent again. As if it was isolated from the mundane world, leaving only the bright yellow light of the truck and the cold blue light from the machine illuminating his fractured body, forming a contrast. [1 minute has passed. As the rule stated in the 211th section in the code of conduct, A minute without decision means accepting the offer by default.] As if on cue the light from the truck was extinguished and at the same time, Nathaniel drew his last breath. [Congratulations! You have successfully acquired the hidden role!] 

The story is a mix of the stories of the worlds of League of Legends, Legends of Runeterra and Arcane, specifically telling the stories of the heroes of Freljord and how they started, after the story of the Warmother comics and revolves around four characters: Ashe, Sejuani, Lissandra and Trundle.

In a dying world strangled by frost, plague, and the whispers of monsters, survival is a currency—and Iris Liren is dangerously close to going broke. She’s spent her life scraping together enough food, coin, and sanity to protect her younger brother Flynn from the rot seeping into their crumbling town of Sundra. Between the ever-creeping infection known as the Rattle and the ravenous vampire lords across the border, death is always one wrong step away. The Wolves—cold, lethal warriors bonded to the mythical volanema beasts—are the kingdoms’s only real line of defense. Revered, feared, and kept distant from the civilians they serve, the Wolves don’t come when you scream. They come after, when it’s too late. And when Iris sees the wreckage left behind after another attack, she knows the truth: if you want someone saved, you do it yourself. But the town is bleeding, secrets are festering, and trust is a weapon no one dares to wield. When Flynn vanishes, desperate to join the Wolves and prove he can protect what’s left of their broken world, Iris finds herself pulled into the center of a conflict that’s far bigger—and far older—than she ever imagined. And at its heart is a commander whose eyes see everything and give away nothing. His presence is as commanding as his silence, and though Iris refuses to bow, she can’t help but feel the sharp pull of fate every time he’s near. Determined to drag her brother back from the jaws of death, Iris pursues him into the treacherous mountains. Instead of finding Flynn, she's forcibly conscripted into the brutal trials herself, thrust into the Culling – a bloody free-for-all where hundreds fight to survive, and only 60% will walk away. Forged in desperation, she forms uneasy alliances. But the trials aren't her only battle. Watching over the carnage with chilling detachment is Alpha Zion Kage – leader of the feared Kuzgun Pack. Beautiful as wildfire and sharp as a honed blade, Zion radiates lethal power and unsettling secrets. His obsidian eyes see too much, especially Iris's defiance and raw strength. An unwanted, dangerous attraction sparks between them – a hunter drawn to a wounded, furious sparrowhawk. Zion is the embodiment of the system Iris distrusts, the man who might hold the key to Flynn's fate, and the one who forces her to confront the terrifying darkness within herself. As rebellion brews, loyalties fracture, and something ancient begins to stir beneath the snow-choked earth, Iris must decide how far she’s willing to go to save her brother—and whether the line between monster and man is as clear as everyone wants to believe. Iris must survive a trial designed to shatter the weak. To understand Zion, she might have to forfeit her heart. And to win, she'll be forced to cross a line that stains the soul. The path to the wolves is paved in blood, and love might be the deadliest trap of all.

A tale of forgotten lifetimes, love that endures death, and a soul that was never meant to be alone. I have died a hundred times. Across cities lost to time, kingdoms swallowed by silence, and skies that burned with gods’ fury—I’ve walked through it all. Cursed to remember what the world forgets. Cursed to wait. For her. She was never meant to suffer. I was never meant to lose her. And yet, in every lifetime, fate finds a way— To pull her from me. To leave me behind, remembering… while she forgets. But not this time. Because this time, something changed. She was born into a house that feared her. A girl made of whispers and wounds. The daughter of a dead mother. The child no one dared love. And still—she found her light. She laughed. She dreamed. She grew. And when darkness returned… she stood. Alone. Terrified. Brilliant. I watched her rise. Not as a memory. Not as the one I lost. But as the one who would choose her fate. She is no longer just the girl I waited for. She is the reason I endured every death. She is the fire that defies the curse. And this time—she remembers. The Cursed of Destiny: The One Who Waited is an emotionally charged saga of reincarnation, sacrifice, and soul-bound love—for readers who believe in eternal connection, second chances across centuries, and the kind of love that refuses to let go… even when fate demands it.

I closed my eyes and let out a shuddering breath. My fingers were numb and cold, my arm aching where the needle pierced the vein. Something clattered onto the pavement, and I looked down to see the needle. It had slipped out of my hand. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first sense of peace I'd felt in my short, miserable life. There was no one to miss me, and no one I would miss. There's always someone else to beat or rape. The regulars would move on quickly. I died. Only...wasn't death supposed to be dark? And since when did 'nothingness' have so many gods?

In a world that has forgotten its gods, Dio only wants one thing; to protect Anya, the girl who makes his broken world feel whole. But peace is a fragile lie, and the Citadels, the silent monuments appearing in the sky since the end of the war, have begun to stir. When Anya is Marked by the Reverie, a realm of dreams and trials shaped by forgotten gods, Dio follows without hesitation. What begins as a desperate act of love soon becomes something far stranger: a journey through mirrors, memories, and impossible truths. Because the Reverie doesn’t give power. It reveals it. And guiding the threads from behind the veil is the man with mismatched eyes and a golden ring. He remembers the age before the gods fell. He remembers what it cost. And he believes Dio may be the key to something greater… or the spark that ends it all. To love. To lie. To become divine. The trials are beginning. The age of stagnation is ending. And someone has to choose what comes next.

He never wanted to be a hero. He never asked to become a weapon. In a world where 4.3% of people are born as Evolvers—humans with abilities that defy nature—the line between good and evil has all but disappeared. Heroes save. Villains destroy. And somewhere in the crossfire, the rest are just trying to survive. Zelpher was one of them. Just a powerless boy with no plan—only the will to survive. Then came the lab. The accident. And the agony that changed everything. Now, Zelpher is something else. His body heals faster. Moves sharper. Hits harder. But it all comes at a cost. His power grows only through pain—real, excruciating pain. Every wound makes him stronger. Every broken bone brings him closer to something… other. And with every scar, something monstrous stirs beneath his skin. Now he’s changing—and everyone knows it. The heroes try to control him. The villains seek to break him. To both, he’s just a weapon. No one sees the boy still fighting to hold on beneath the surface. He didn’t choose this power. He didn’t choose this war. But he’s in it now. And as the world watches him rise—or fall—only one question matters: How long can you stay human, when pain is the price of power?
