survival

He was in his early twenties when the world decided to end for him. A computing prodigy, educated at MIT, someone who understood systems, patterns, and limits better than most. In his previous life, power didn’t come from fists, but from the mind — lines of code capable of shaping digital realities. Then he died. And was born again. Reincarnated into the DC Universe as a helpless baby, he grew up in a world where gods walk among humans, where vigilantes defy the impossible, and where power is rarely fair — or free. While others trusted destiny, chance, or inherited gifts, he trusted only one thing: process. Memory intact. Intellect intact. Ambition intact. From an early age, he understood a simple and cruel truth: in that world, those who do not grow are crushed. And so, far from the spotlight of the League, he began to build something forbidden — his own Artificial Intelligence, created not to save the world, but to optimize it. To make him stronger. More efficient. More prepared to survive among monsters, aliens, and symbols. While heroes were born from tragedy, he forged himself in silence. While villains sought external power, he engineered it from within. This is not the story of a chosen one. It is the story of someone who decided to become inevitable. Between code and chaos, science and superhumans, begins the rise of a man who does not believe in miracles — only in evolution. This story was inspired by a fanfiction I read years ago — a work I deeply admire and still reread to this day. Unfortunately, that story was never continued. This project is not a continuation, rewrite, or replacement of that original work. It is an independent story, created with its own plot, characters, and direction, merely inspired by the ideas and feelings that the original story left with me.

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 a tale where faith and love and grace wins against the doubt and hatred and sin. --- The girl who once vowed to be his forever Now forbids him to ever appear.

One hundred million players. One year trapped. No way out but through. When a massive VR game becomes a death trap, every player on the EU server faces a brutal reality: die in the game, die in real life. The only escape is to clear it — floor by floor, boss by boss — and with one year gone, two thirds of the first floor's players are already dead. Max Veritas is not a hero. He's a 25-year-old father of twins who spent his first months laying low, waiting for someone else to fix things. But when the void in his heart grew bigger, he could not work a job and live a normal life. He started venturing outside the safe city walls and never looked back. On the upper floors, the race to clear the game is in full swing. Priam Castellan — first ranked, terrifyingly powerful, carrying humanity's hope like a burden — drives his guild forward while Salvation, led by a man who found everything he ever wanted inside the game, fights to stop them from ever leaving. Caught between them: Max's brother and his best friend, who don't yet know where Max is — and Max, who doesn't yet know they're up above. This is a progression fantasy about power earned the hard way, about exploration of multiple worlds and about the test that all players face, one in which they have to choose one of the answers to their predicament: Rise and fight the against the game, while risking your life, or stay in cities, work a job in a video game and wait for other players to do the work you. There might even be a third option for some people which is being content with the game world and living in it happily ever after. A fourth option exists for a special breed of players, who love the game worldnso much they will fight those who want to break out.

The new darkness is here

Transmigrated into the world of Shadow Slave, Hermes awakens an unusual Aspect: Grand Alchemist. While others fight monsters with brute strength and lofty ambition, Hermes studies the logic beneath the system. He sees what others cannot. He inscribes what others only dream of. He breathes life into creations that grow as he grows. To him, runes are not sacred. Aspects are not absolute. They are formulas. And formulas can be rewritten. In a world where power is forged through suffering, Hermes will not simply endure. He will rewrite the rules.

Ender traveled to the world of Swallowed Star. If possible, he would have loved to cling to the protagonist Luo Feng’s leg, but all he knew was that his planet belonged to the Molten Rock Empire—he knew nothing else. Fortunately, he possessed an extraordinary comprehension of the innate laws and 32 times the initial gene level as his starting advantage. This allowed him to rise from an ordinary cultivation planet within the Molten Rock Empire to the stage of the Universe Pinnacle Genius Battle. At that point, he discovered that this version of Swallowed Star was somewhat different from what he remembered— “What? Humans have 1,004 universe countries?!” “What? The strongest participant in this Universe Pinnacle Genius Battle is Kedi?!” Only then did Ender realize that he had traveled too far back in time—even Luo Feng’s future teacher, King Zhenyan, had not yet been born. Traveled too far? It didn’t matter. Ender claimed that he possessed a legacy—one even stronger than Luo Feng’s—and that in the future, he would stand above the God King! Note: The protagonist has both talent and inheritance, and the author has only read Swallowed Star! Only read Swallowed Star! Only read Swallowed Star! (Important things should be said three times.) The protagonist will be upgraded in Chaos City, a clone will appear later, and the protagonist should not be treated as a typical transmigrator. (Foreword: Please do not consider the protagonist a normal Transmigrator, as normal Transmigrators do not lose their memories...)

Jiang Wei was an exhausted New York product tech until a black-haired woman touched him in an alley and turned him into an emperor penguin. [Penguin Evolution System initialized.] Now he earns Evolution Points by surviving what his human body never could. Pressure Heart. Countercurrent Sense. Abyssal routes. Rookery bonds. Every upgrade makes him stronger, stranger, and less certain that becoming human again is the right goal. Aylin, a princess from a world being eaten by Yokai, needs Jiang to cross worlds and break their hidden soul cores. She also failed three candidates before him, and one may still be alive. To save two worlds, Jiang must dive through haunted oceans, build a colony, survive warped history, and evolve from one furious penguin into something even gods cannot classify. The system calls him incomplete. The rookery calls him stranger. Soon, entire worlds will call him Emperor.

When you've been reincarnated into another world, in one of the old dating games that you played in high school and memorized every possible route that you could take- "..." But you ended up becoming the villainess with a horrible personality, there's not much room for a friendship route with the heroine. But something was wrong? "Milady... my head feels so heavy will you take me to your room?" The heroine has drank so many alcohol that her face was flushed red and she couldn't help but hold onto the hands of the villainess. "You... don't want me to?" Clearly she was using the excuse of her drunk mess to get into the villainess' personal chambers. "..." "I love you, milady. Please be mine and only mine." The love story of the cold reincarnated villainess x the possessive heroine.

The annihilation of the Uchiha clan is a statistical impossibility. Let the record show that I, Uchiha Tokichi—a man of impeccable honor and irreproachable character—will gladly concede defeat the day Itachi Uchiha locates the mythical Fountain of Rebirth. Until then, we cast aside the tragic martyrdom of the past. There is no need for somber whispers of "Mikoto, do not look back." Instead, Mikoto turns to me, a blush warming her cheeks, to pose a delightfully absurd tactical query: "Do you think it would appear gaudy if I mounted a Railgun onto my Susanoo?" The late Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, once astutely observed the shifting dynamics of our lineage: "While other Uchiha awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan in their eyes, Fugaku managed to awaken his entirely in his mouth." It is a sentiment echoed with profound sincerity by Shinnosuke Nohara, brother to the late Rin, who openly declares, "The leader I revere above all others is Lord Fugaku. It was he who imparted the ultimate universal truth upon me: what goes around, comes around." Through this chaotic subversion of destiny, Fugaku—the younger brother once fated for an untimely demise—instead inherited a bizarrely prestigious tapestry of grand titles: The Ninja World’s Demonic Eye Konoha’s Supreme Hokage The True Uchiha Dance King The Divine Architect of Birth Control Driven by aggressive, state-sponsored reproductive incentives, Fugaku single-handedly engineered a demographic explosion within the clan. The Uchiha compounds are now overrun by a hyper-prolific new generation. Even the toddlers in the local kindergarten unlock their Sharingan with casual ease, their voices echoing through the streets in unison: "No one understands the true essence of the Will of Fire better than us."

May 21st, 2030. The day the sky turned white, the mist rolled in, and “they” arrived. I was just a 25-year-old game developer, freshly fired from my job, when the world ended. Exploding cars, screaming crowds, monsters with wings tearing through the city—and somehow, in the middle of it all, a brat calling me “uncle” wouldn’t leave me alone. Together, we’re trying to survive a world crawling with lizard-like creatures, ruined streets, and something far bigger lurking in the skies above. But I can’t help feeling like this invasion isn’t random… and maybe I’m not as ordinary as I thought. Action, survival, monsters, and dark comedy collide in this apocalyptic adventure.

"Dragons and their spawn rule the skies, the land, and the seas... humanity survives in the cracks, dreaming of a comeback." _____ Power comes from the beast you tame. Wolves, hawks, snakes, spiders, chimeras, the stronger your summon, the brighter your future. Too bad for our protagonist. When everyone else summoned salamanders, eagles, troll dogs(not doge) or tigers, he got… Well, let’s just say the only thing lower on the food chain is dirt. Laughed at, bullied, and living as the butt of every joke, he’s not exactly winning. But giving up isn’t an option... His aging parents sold everything for his "failed" chance, and he won’t let it be for nothing. But hey, this is his story. The weakest beast tamer? Here’s the thing about being at the bottom: it teaches you how to climb. And dragons? Turns out they start small too. As kingdoms crumble under greed and external threats, the weakest tamer begins his rise. Follow his path as he unlocks a potential so rare, so terrifying, it leads to dragons… Every evolutionary line leads to the strongest ‘SSS Dragons’. _______ Warning: Contains world-ending dragons, ridicule-fueled underdog revenge, dragon-scaled protagonist, morally questionable nobles, insane creature evolutions and enough twists to make you wonder if weakest really means luckiest. A MC who’s out to prove everyone wrong… even if it kills him. Spoiler alert: It won’t. For those who love a whole lot of fun, this one’s for you. If you’re looking for a darker story, look somewhere else (Maybe Utopian System (;) This one’s about having fun and taming expectations. _______ We will use the same Discord from my first book, come join! https://discord.gg/W3CjfC2cw4 _______ Silly tags that seem to matter a lot to some readers: No Yaoi, No Yuri, Possibly Harem (Vote! I can write either, and in any case, there will be multiple girls. The only difference is whether he chooses one in the end or goes the "liberal" route.... democracy is yours!), No NTR.

They said it was only a school lunch program. They lied. After joining the MBG Nutrition Program, Arga awakens a mysterious power connected to an energy no one fully understands. As secret experiments, human prototypes, and the shadowy Dominion Organization emerge from the darkness, Arga and his friends are drawn into a conflict far greater than they ever imagined. To save countless children from becoming living weapons, they must uncover the true source of this power before Dominion gains control of it. But with every answer they uncover, Arga moves closer to a terrifying truth: the energy growing inside him may become humanity's greatest hope... or its greatest threat.

Monsters from the Monster Hunter world have invaded another realm. Kingdoms fall, cities tremble, and humanity struggles against creatures it has never seen before. Reborn as Aria, a young noblewoman, she alone possesses memories of another life where these monsters existed only in a game. What others see as impossible calamities, she recognizes as monsters from the game she has played. Using knowledge of monster behaviour, ecology, and equipment crafting, Aria sets out to build a new generation of hunters capable of resisting the invasion. But as stronger monsters appear and Elder Dragons begin their migration, surviving may require more than simply knowing the enemy.

Transmigrated to the Age of Gods in Greece, and became Jason. Wait, Jason? You mean the Jason who provoked the traitorous witch Medea? Jason? You mean the Jason who looks like a great hero, but is actually just a plaything of the gods?! Jason? You mean the Jason whose life seems glorious on the surface, becoming a great hero whose fame spreads through the ages, but in reality is full of hardships, ending in tragedy without a peaceful death? No, I don't want a fate like that! Therefore... "Teacher Chiron, I want to drop out. Being a hero? I can pass on that!" ---- A re-translation Advance chapters: patreon.com/ReruoIzayoi

The possibilities of a new life can be endless if you roll the dice and play your cards right.. But less for a monster. Killing for power or running for freedom is everone's right to choose. /* As a simple man I love references so I will add some.

Strategic MC • Kingdom Building • Divine System • Ruthless Protagonist • Empire Growth The world of Theos Online was a battlefield of gods. Players built civilizations, shaped faith, and waged divine wars for supremacy. At the top stood Zephyr — Rank One. Untouchable. Calculating. Ruthless. He didn’t just win. He engineered inevitability. But in the real world, anonymity is fragile. When his identity is exposed, a coordinated smear campaign tears his life apart, stripping him of reputation, future, and finally — breath. Death was supposed to be the end. Instead, he awakens in another world. Different sky. Different history. Same Divine System. The rules that governed Theos Online now govern reality itself. While others pray to survive, Zephyr understands the code beneath the gods. He knows the exploits. The hidden mechanics. The logic no one else sees. He may not know this world’s past. But he knows exactly how to conquer its future. From a starving village to a rising divine empire, Zephyr will bend faith into machinery, turn belief into power, and reduce rival gods to footnotes in history. The game is gone. The system remains. And this time, there are no respawns.

Armed with a new Evolution System that rewards him for every creature he consumes or defeats, Adam begins his grueling climb from a helpless morsel to a cunning hunter. Using his human wit and gradually evolving serpentine abilities, he turns the dungeon's dangers into opportunities.

But fate had other plans. Waking up three months before the apocalypse, Lin has one goal: prepare, survive, and take revenge. With her life savings, she builds a fortress far from the chaos, securing land, weapons, and alliances—starting with Lucas Fang, a disgraced ex-bodyguard with a past as dangerous as hers. As December 25th approaches—the day the world falls—Lin watches as the same people who mocked her begin to panic. The same ones who betrayed her will come begging. But this time? Lin isn’t saving anyone. This time, she’s the one holding the gun. Notes: 1-3 Ch/Weekly Stock: 50+ Chapters Like this story! Go Read! - Billionaire Livestream - Second Shot Billionaire
