survival

Died in the cold. Starved. Betrayed. Devoured by the very people he once trusted. In a world where humanity collapsed into chaos, kindness was a weakness-and he paid the price for it. But fate gave him something impossible. A second chance. He awakens 30 days before the apocalypse. This time, he knows what's coming: The freezing world. The rise of enhanced humans. The fall of civilization. And the moment the people closest to him chose survival... over him. But Jae-Min is no longer the same man. Cold. Calculated. Unforgiving. Armed with knowledge of the future, a growing spatial power, and unmatched precision as a sniper who never misses, he begins to prepare-not just to survive... But to dominate. As factions rise, monsters emerge, and the world descends into war, Jae-Min moves from the shadows-one step ahead, one bullet at a time. This time, he won't be the one abandoned. This time... he chooses who lives. Warning: This novel contains graphic violence, gore, explicit sexual content, psychological trauma, and mature themes intended for adult readers only.

Youth is pushed to its limits when the Corona Virus takes on the appearance of another lifeform and invades mankind. This is Macky's story and how he survived.

This is a collection of finished short stories ranging across many genres. Volume 01 consists of polished (touched-up spelling and grammar) versions of my novis works I made while still in elementary, middle, and high school. Volume 000 (the Auxiliary Volume) contains the original works from Volume 01 as they were when I wrote them,* and Volume 02 is all of my no-vice works after school. *Don't bother reading the Auxiliary Volume unless you really want to. As of updating this description (04/08/26), I am still tracking down the dates of when I wrote these pieces, as I didn't have the foresight to put the dates on the documents themselves. (My real name, as it appears in the original texts, is replaced with "Final," "Sees," or "Final Sees") (Jul 19, 2018, is the earliest date I have for most of my novis stories, though they were definitely not all written on the same day.)

Little does he know that his true journey is about to commence. The story revolves around a man who merges with his advanced AI companion, only to awaken in a mysterious realm. Here, he faces a series of trials set by a powerful entity, bequeathing upon him a unique inheritance. This gift grants him the ability to traverse diverse worlds, each offering unique experiences and challenges. But as he ventures deeper into this multiverse, he grapples with a haunting question: “Was that gift a blessing or a curse?” Thomas Blackwood's odyssey propels him through realms of enchanting magic and realms governed by relentless cultivation. He becomes a knight in one world and harnesses the dark arts of curses in another. "May the dice roll in your favor." ====== **Author's Notes:** ====== - I as the author have employed multiple pen names throughout my journey, including Chaos_Guide, TS Greed, and Slumbering Dragon. - This is a fantasy tale with a morally complex protagonist who does not shy away from embracing the darker aspects of his character. - The story commences in a world devoid of fantasy elements, gradually ascending through the ranks of worlds as the expansive universe unravels. - The narrative truly takes off with the onset of Volume 2, where the first fantasy world unfolds in all its grandeur.

Lin Yu transmigrated into the Douluo Continent, and at first, he could only sigh in frustration for not having a golden cheat. But unexpectedly, his cheat finally appeared—dragging everyone in the Douluo Continent into its grasp! On that day, every single person was pulled into a livestream Q&A room with rewards. From then on, they were forced to watch the stream regularly and answer questions. 【Ah Yin】: What? My son is already dead? And now another soul is occupying his body? 【Bibi Dong】: Yu Xiaogang, I never thought you approached me with ulterior motives… You disgusting, hypocritical man! 【Qian Renxue】: Don’t you dare broadcast anything about me! 【Deep Sea Demon Whale King】: Hah! The Sea God is nothing but an ungrateful fool who loves labeling others. 【Meng Shu】: Lin Yu, as long as you give me the Dragon Essence, I’ll marry my granddaughter to you! 【Yu Yuanzhen】: Don’t fight me for it! Give me the Dragon Essence, and I’ll have my second son marry Erlong to you! …… Watching everyone in the livestream room going crazy, bribing and scheming for rewards, Lin Yu sneered with disdain.

Silas stared at it in shock. Ivy’s eyes widened. She realized something, only she could see these items, and when she picked them up, they became real. "Can… I buy it from you?" Silas asked, unsure. "Of course. But I won't give it to you for free." Ivy smiled like a fox. Silas closed his eyes; he was ready for her to demand something sky-high and said, "Okay. Tell me how many gold bars you want." Ivy smiled and teased, "I don't want gold bars; they are way too cheap. I want one kiss." Silas: Blushing hard. His subordinates: "..." This wave of dog food was too unexpected! ....................................................... With the supplies, picking a superpower and a safe zone superpower, Ivy built her own residential area. She gained Kindness Energy and multiplied supplies with the help of Temporal Storage.

After dying from cancer, Oliver Smith wakes up in the freezing Weather Hills of Middle-earth as Aldric, a minor Dúnedain noble with nothing but a rusted sword and a group of forty-six starving refugees. However, he isn't just a survivor—he is the host of the Kingdom Restoration System (KRS). In a land of fading magic and rising darkness, Aldric must use the system to rebuild the lost kingdom of Arnor from the ground up. From managing granaries and planting orchards to training a military capable of standing against the shadow, he must transform a band of desperate refugees into a continental power. The world thinks the age of Men is over, but with a system for civilization building, Aldric is about to prove them wrong. The System: Kingdom Restoration (KRS) Territory Management: Allows the MC to "claim" land. Once claimed, the system provides a map overlay showing resource nodes (ore, fertile soil) and structural integrity of ruins, making it easier to rebuild ancient bastions like Amon Hen-dîr. Population & Loyalty Tracking: A HUD that shows the exact number of followers, their health, and their loyalty levels. It calculates "Prosperity" and "Stability" scores, warning the MC of potential rebellions or starvation before they happen. Civilization Skill Trees: Points earned from quests can be invested into trees like Agriculture (increasing crop yields), Masonry (speeding up construction), or Military Reform (enhancing the combat stats of his soldiers). Quest & Reputation System: The system issues "Restoration Quests" that provide essential rewards for growth. It also tracks his reputation among other factions (Elves, Dwarves, Rohan), unlocking unique trade or diplomatic options as his fame grows.

This is a fan translation of 卫宫士郎不想加班. The original author is 此世无存. Please support them! === This is simply the story of a so-called hero of justice. The story of a man named Emiya Shirou. At a certain moment, at a certain point in time, a door that should not have existed appeared before this man. Just a second-rate magus, barely able to perform reinforcement magic. Just an ordinary person without the strength to save others. Just a so-called hero of justice, drowning in his own ideals. Emiya Shirou— Who are you really trying to save? Is it Sakura? Is it the ideal that drowned you? Or is it... yourself?
