survival

After being betrayed and killed, Alex Proctor wakes up in an alien forest, transmigrated into the body of a failed beast tamer who died hunting a venomwolf pack. Bonded to a mysterious phoenix egg and an Infinite Evolution System, Alex must survive the deadly Wyrmwood Forest using his gaming instincts, preparation, and ruthless strategy. When the phoenix hatches as Ember, a small but fiercely intelligent fire bird, their bond becomes his greatest strength and his greatest risk. Together, they hunt monsters for essence, forcing Ember down increasingly dangerous evolution paths. The system offers safe, proven evolutions. But Alex learns that hybrid evolutions grant far greater power at the cost of control, sanity, and survival. In a world ruled by guilds, monsters, and gods who see summoners as tools, Alex must decide how much he is willing to sacrifice for power. Because in this realm, evolution does not just change beasts. It breaks summoners too.

What if your character creation choice became your irreversible reality? Logging into the new VRMMO World of Atma, I made a joke character: a skeletal Undead Lord. I didn't expect to wake up trapped in a lightless dungeon, feeling my own bones, with the game's interface replaced by a whispering skill called «Ahamkara»—a Mythic power to devour souls and steal skills. Now, I'm not a player. I'm the monster. Hunted by holy crusaders, coveted by merchant syndicates, and feared by entire kingdoms, I must master my forbidden power without losing myself to the screams of the souls I consume. From the depths of the Gloomwood Weald—a lawless dungeon forest—I'll forge an empire of the hated and the forgotten. But this world holds a secret: the ten Mythic Skills weren't meant to be held by mortals. And my arrival as the "World-Eater" wasn't an accident. I was summoned for a purpose. Whether I become the realm's salvation or its final calamity depends on how many souls I'm willing to destroy to uncover the truth.

John figured death was supposed to mean peace at last. His whole life got wrecked by heartbreak and betrayal and all that loss, so the grave ought to just end it there, right? But no, he wakes in the body of a child, dragged into the clutches of the Obsidian Covenant — a secret order that forges children into weapons. At first, all he wanted was survival. But surrounded by others just as broken, John finds himself pulled into their struggle, swearing to protect what little hope they have left. The god who put him here watches with cruel amusement, torturing him just for the sake of it...or maybe not. If John wants revenge, or even a chance at freedom, he’ll have to rise through the world of Cassiopeia, uncover the secrets binding him to this place, and turn his anger into something sharper than any blade. Peace is gone. Now there’s only the vow: to kill the god. *** I would like to say This story is kind of like a chimera. so, expect it to shift and evolve as the journey unfolds, never bound to a single genre. and although the narrative introduces darker themes, the story evolves beyond them to explore resilience and growth. *** update schedule: four chapters per week.

Elena Hart believed in love, marriage, and forever—until her husband shattered her world with one cruel request. When he asked for an open relationship, Elena realized the man she loved no longer chose her. Heartbroken and betrayed, she walked away from her marriage with one promise to herself: no more love. Determined to forget the pain, Elena steps into a world she never allowed herself to enter—neon lights, loud music, and dangerous freedom. One night at a club changes everything when she crosses paths with Ethan Cole and Liam West, two men tied to her past and connected to her brother. Both are drawn to her broken strength, her quiet fire, and the sadness she hides behind her fearless smile. What begins as harmless flirting soon turns into something darker. Desire grows. Boundaries blur. Obsession takes root. Elena wants only distraction, but the men around her want more—some want to protect her, others want to possess her. Caught between her vow to never love again and the dangerous pull of twisted desires, Elena must face the truth: running from love may be easier than facing it—but desire has a way of breaking every rule. In a world where trust is fragile and passion is dangerous, Elena must decide whether to surrender to temptation… or escape before desire destroys her completely.

[The System has arrived on your habitable planet, known as ‘Earth.’] [In five seconds, monsters from countless realms will invade Earth.] [Remaining Time: 5 seconds.] [You can now view your attributes, talents, abilities, and skills by simply thinking about them.] [Kill monsters, and you might survive.] “Monsters?” Damian’s breathing quickened as the pain in his chest grew sharper. On the day of the Awakening, humanity was forced to defend against an invasion of countless monsters from the towers that connected realms across the multiverse. While billions of people died helplessly, billions more seized the opportunities hidden behind the horrors spilling out of the gates. Leveling up, growing stronger, awakening talents, learning supernatural skills, changing one's very race, and even achieving immortality all became possibilities. But for Damian, who was suffering from a sickness that would kill him within a few years, the Awakening was a curse. While other humans awakened powerful talents, hunted monsters, and evolved, Damian remained talentless, a liability and a burden the awakened had to carry. Damian never wanted to be seen as weak or useless, but what could he do? He was dying. If only he had awakened a talent or at least possessed a stronger body, he might have been able to level up and cure his sickness. But he couldn’t. All that would change when a mysterious figure set him on a path that would lead him to his true destiny. Witness the rise of a warrior who would make countless men tremble in fear. Witness the rise of a monster who would force every race, every being, and every existence to kneel. Witness the rise of the Champion.
