survival

There’s a place behind the Wraithgate where things shouldn’t be alive, but they are. The monsters there aren’t random. Some follow people who want too much. Some stay close to people who can’t let go of what they want. Others don’t attack at all — they just wait, and somehow that’s worse. Four kids end up there. None of them were meant to be heroes. The longer they stay, the more certain creatures seem to recognize them. Like they’ve met before. Like something inside them called the monsters over. There’s a blind man in that world who knows what happens next, but won’t say it straight. He talks about mistakes instead of creatures. About how nothing bad starts out wanting to be bad. And then there’s the King. He doesn’t move much. He doesn’t need to. Everything in that place happens because he’s still there. The gate can be closed. But the monsters won’t disappear. And not everyone who walks back through it comes back the same.

Reborn at the dawn of humanity, in an age where the world itself was still learning how to exist, Ye Caiqian awakens with a gift that defies common sense—an unparalleled comprehension that allows him to perceive patterns, truths, and possibilities far beyond ordinary minds. In a primitive land ruled by instinct, beasts, and unseen forces, every choice carries weight, and every step forward demands sacrifice. From the simplest tools to the earliest sparks of belief, his actions quietly reshape the path humanity walks—often without the world realizing it has already changed. This is not the rise of a conqueror, nor the legend of a hero forged by destiny. It is the long, patient evolution of humanity itself—guided through danger, discovery, and uncertainty, across the vast and unforgiving world of Douluo, toward a future no god had ever prepared for.

Terra II, a world split into vast planes, where deserts stretch ceaselessly and horrors—roamed without rest. It is a land scarred by self made nightmares that never fade. The Common Era, where the concept of happiness has been abandoned. No story begins with joy, and none end with peace. One mistake—a misplaced word, a fleeting gesture—is all that it took. Strength was never the problem. ▄▀█ █░░█▄▀ has survived long enough to know that looking strong, feeling strong, and being strong are three different lies people tell themselves to keep moving. Terra is heavy. The roads are long and boundless like the deserts ▄█ █▀░ █▄█ had walked. And family...family—that has been stripped away. Once? Twice? no, Thrice? You’ve walked. You’ve run. You’ve shot at everything. You've seen your friends perish away, your self made family rotting away, and how do you cover it? By carrying a carload of supplies. But strip it away. What is left behind? ———————— I'm pretty nervous how this version will be received and since i went for both magic and a modern setting. I'm not really good as creating things so i took inspiration from some well known media, so if it seems familiar, i tried as best i could to make it my own. but idk. Lets see, it starts to pick up the pace slowly. It's a slow born sort of thing except with no love. short ass rant, lol. Kristen out, peace.

Endymion Morningstar is an amnesiac Slumberer of the thousandth year, one who waited for a Star he could devour in order to awaken and fully transmigrate into a new world known as the Towers of Slumber. This occurred after the Devourers destroyed the Cosmos, forcing all souls to take refuge within the Obelisk where the Towers now wander. Upon awakening, prepared to face deadly trials known as Sequences, he rejected the concept of Heirhood, the path of becoming an Heir to one of the Primordial Entities called Parents, those who built the Towers. Instead, he faced his first challenge as an Orphan and, through that defiance, obtained a unique Trait. Worse still, he became a prophet capable only of perceiving the probable future of a hero . . .

In a world where power is cultivated through will, belief, and restraint, destiny does not announce itself. A child is born without title, without voice, without choice — yet his presence alters the weight of decisions made around him. Paths bend. Convictions harden. People sacrifice more than reason demands, often without realizing why. This is not the story of a ruler who conquers the world. It is the story of how a throne is built long before anyone sits upon it — through obsession mistaken for purpose, protection mistaken for virtue, and choices made by those who believe they are still free. The path ahead follows the unseen cost of destiny: the lives shaped, broken, and transformed by a future that never asked to be forged.

In the distant future, the Supreme Ruler of the Cosmos, a being of immense power and wisdom, cast out a legion of Heavenly wardens from the Realm of Elysium. These powerful entities, known as the Devourers, were banished to Earth, crashing down like meteors, they rained like shower, burrowing in the ground and setting everything on fire, cities were reduced to rubble, and the very fabric of reality seemed to he tearing apart, fear and chaos reigned on that day (A.K.A D-Day Of The Fall) people had no idea of what was happening.

He fumbled for his walkie-talkie, a flicker of anticipation lighting his dull eyes. He was about to deliver good news to the faceless bastards at base. But before he could speak, a blur of movement at his feet caught his attention. The werewolf, the one shackled in silver, fueled by a desperate surge of adrenaline or perhaps the raw agony of betrayal, had broken free. The three other men who had accompanied him roared in frustration and gave chase, their heavy boots pounding on the cracked asphalt. But the leader didn't move. A slow, cruel smile spread across his face. Protocol be damned. He unholstered his sidearm, the cold steel a familiar comfort in his hand. He thumbed the transmit button on the walkie-talkie. "Found another one," he reported, his voice flat and devoid of emotion. Then, without a flicker of hesitation, the sharp crack of a gunshot tore through the oppressive silence. The bullet slammed into the fleeing werewolf's back, the impact throwing her forward before she collapsed in a broken heap. His companions, now returning, exchanged irritated glances. "They want them alive," one of them muttered, his voice tight with annoyance. This loose cannon was going to cause problems. Trinity's life has been defined by isolation and the scars of abuse, a stark contrast to the powerful lineage she doesn't know she possesses. Born to a Beta wolf, the Alpha's second, she was cast out as a defective at the mere age of two, growing up completely unaware of the wolf world that was her birthright. That ignorance is violently stripped away when she is abducted and forced back to the pack that abandoned her. Thrust into a world of primal instincts and ancient traditions, Trinity must confront a reality she never imagined. As she grapples with her sudden transformation and the revelation of her true nature, a dark shadow falls over the wolf community: their kind are vanishing. Against her will, Trinity finds herself drawn into the desperate search for the missing, a quest that leads to a sinister quasi-governmental facility engaged in horrifying experiments. Her journey is one of unwilling discovery, as she fights to understand her past and confront the dangerous future that awaits.

Shen Ningning died of exhaustion after being dared to run a marathon. She transmigrated into a savage, unfamiliar world where humans struggle to survive among beasts.

Trapped in a dangerous world and forced to follow the system’s rules, Shen Ningning can only struggle to survive one day at a time. Her situation worsens when a powerful snake beastman claims her as his mate and refuses to leave her side. As danger closes in from both the wildlands and the system itself, Shen Ningning must find a way to live in a world that demands strength—whether she is ready or not.

"You exiled me. You don't get to claim me now." Sera Blackwood was supposed to be Luna—the chosen mate of Kade Thorne, the most powerful Alpha in North America. Until the night his jealous ex-lover whispered poison in his ear, his mother fabricated evidence of betrayal, and Kade condemned Sera to exile without a trial. Pregnant. Alone. Cast into the Northern Wastelands where rogues kill for sport. She should have died. Everyone expected her to. But Sera Blackwood doesn't break. She survives. And she builds an empire in the shadows. Five years later, she returns to Shadow Ridge—not as the broken, banished omega they remember, but as the Alpha Queen of the Rogue Territories, commanding the very wolves they feared. On her hips, twin four-year-olds with silver eyes that mark them as Thorne heirs. In her heart, a wall of ice no mate bond can penetrate. Kade Thorne has spent five years in hell. The moment Sera's exile scent faded, the truth emerged—she was innocent. Framed by those he trusted. He's searched every territory, called in every favor, driven his wolf half-mad trying to find the mate he condemned. Now she's back. Untouchable. Powerful. And she wants nothing to do with him. But the twins' existence changes everything. They're heirs to the Thorne legacy. The pack elders demand their return. Enemy packs want them dead. And the mate bond Kade thought he'd destroyed is roaring back to life, dragging them both into a fire that never stopped burning. Sera built her new life on one rule: never let Kade Thorne close enough to hurt her again. But when a deadly enemy targets their children, she's forced into an alliance with the one wolf who shattered her—and the mate bond doesn't care about her rules. He exiled her once. Now he'll burn the world down to keep her.
