survival

In a village rotting from the inside out, a forbidden affair cracks the door to Hell. Kael is the lowest of the low in Oakhaven—a destitute woodcutter despised by the rich men for his strength and envied for his charm with their wives. His only escape is Elara, the Village Chief’s neglected wife. Their love is a secret, a sin, and a fire that burns too bright in the dark valley. But on the stroke of midnight, something ancient notices their connection. Now, Kael and Elara are bound by a Demon that wears their skin like a suit of armor. At first, it feels like justice. With the Demon’s strength, Kael breaks the bones of the men who spat on him and chokes the greedy on their own gold. But the Demon is not a vigilante. It is a parasite. And the price for its power, and for Elara’s eternal youth, is steep.

When struggling actor Liam Cross is gunned down during a bar robbery, he expects the lights to fade for good. Instead, he opens his eyes in a throne room surrounded by demons – standing inside a summoning circle meant to call forth an ancient Demon God. Only, the god never came. Just him. With no magic, no divinity, and no clue how he got there, Liam is mistaken for Azrakul, the Primordial Demon: a being of infinite power the Demon Queen desperately sought to save her crumbling empire. But when a mysterious System awakens, Liam learns the truth: He’s not a god… yet. [Designation: “Infernal Sovereign” — Activated.] [Requirement: Subjugate the Realm of Demons.] [Power Source: Fear. Faith. Belief.] The System doesn’t just grant strength. Instead, it feeds on the belief of others – turning fear, faith, and lies into real, tangible power. And as an actor who’s spent his whole life pretending to be something greater, Liam finally finds the role he was born to play. Now trapped among ancient monsters and scheming demon nobles, he must perform the part of a god convincingly enough to survive. Because if the demons ever discover he’s a fraud… He’ll die as the man he’s always been— or ascend as the monster he pretended to be.

Zylus has always felt suffering; everything in his life has always been against him. Everything had consequences. Now, as he lay empty, with his family taken away from him, he sought revenge on the ones who did it. And what better timing than for a levelling system to appear. Now he must go on missions to seek strength, to grow strong enough to defeat the ones he has done it to. But first, he must transcend the demon realm, as he finds out. He's a demon.

In the grim future of Mankind, there was nothing but monsters. The Rifts opened, and hordes upon hordes spilled doom for humanity, reducing it to a fraction. But when we thought it was all lost, an Army of Plastic rose to our rescue. They emerged with holy light: Towering Superhumans in Power Armors, wielding weapons from science fiction. Disciplined Soldiers in uniform march, facing death with a holy chant. War Machines and Walkers of unimaginable technology, thundering the battlefield. And on their forefront was one of our own, once mocked as Nerd, Geek, Gamer; now hailed Hero, Champion, Leader. He was Adam Clay, Lord Commander of Earth. --------------What is this?----------------- An RTS Crafting and Summoning LitRPG. One gamer gains the ability to turn his action figurines and war game pieces into actual people who can fight with futuristic powers. ----------Is this what I think it is?---------- Yes, it is completely inspired by Warhammer 40K, but you can say it is the watered-down version for those who aren't willing to dip their toes in the original madness. Consider it my own take on the grim dark, combining some shenanigans from WH40K, Doom, Dune, Mad Max, Silo, Red Alert and Generals series, and other cool stuff. ------- Where else to find this gem? ------- This story exists on Patreon as well as Webnovel, Royal Road, and Scribble Hub.

Once, Riven had everything — a name, a future, a throne. Then he lost his arm, and with it, his world. Now, half-dead and dumped in a demonic sect where monsters wear human faces, Riven is told to prove his worth… or die quietly. But what the sect doesn’t realize is this: he’s already died once. And something survived the fall — something buried in his blood that should’ve stayed asleep. Thrown into brutal trials, surrounded by rivals who kill for merit and beasts that kill for sport, Riven doesn’t want revenge. He wants to live. But if he rises? They’ll remember the prince they tried to waste — and regret they ever left him breathing.

Dead in his world, reborn as the X-Men’s Gambit—with an upgrade. After a fatal accident, an ordinary man wakes up in the body of Remy LeBeau in New Orleans.

He can now manifest solid energy constructs—creating shields, platforms, and weapons out of thin air—wield combat precognition to predict attacks seconds before they happen, and use empathic charm to manipulate the emotions of those around him. Caught in a bloody war between the Thieves and Assassins Guilds, he must master these evolved abilities to protect the city. But Mister Sinister is watching; the immortal geneticist knows this "Gambit" is an impostor and plans to harvest his reality-warping biology for a terrifying experiment.

In the Outer Wards of Virelion, surviving the day is already a miracle. When the Church of the Final Dawn calls a Nightmare Draft, Cassian Rael’s name is just another line on a list. Along with a handful of strangers, he’s thrown into manufactured horrors where most people die and a rare few awaken strange powers. Cassian quickly learns that the Nightmares aren’t random. They follow rules. They have patterns. And for some reason, those patterns feel familiar to him. While others cling to heroism, faith, or desperation, Cassian treats every trial as a problem to solve and every death—his own or someone else’s—as data. In a world of Shards, Paths, magi, and cults, he begins to climb step by step, collecting power the way others collect scars. But the stronger he becomes, the more the world itself seems to notice him… and adjust. As Nightmares grow sharper and factions close in, one thing becomes clear: This isn’t just a story about surviving the dark. It’s about learning why the dark keeps coming back—and deciding what to do once you finally see its shape.

Story rotates around killing witches and monsters, training and gaining power, gaining mutation (Night Vision, Echolocation, Wall Climb, etc.), gathering herbs and creating concoctions. --- Hunt. Graft. Mutate. That was the core idea of a witch hunter. By grafting organs, the witch hunter gained mutations and ascended his own body, adding more and more power to his flesh. Sir Siderius Satterblade, a Master Witch Hunter in old age, used a Forbidden Alchemical Seal to transfer his soul to another man in another world. This world was Eldoria, a society ruled by witches and benefitted only to witches. Snow, a circus boy, fell prey to a witch's hands. He was to be executed for a crime he did not do. In the moment of desperation, Snow traded his soul and body for Siderius. The new Siderius 'Snow' Satterblade was born. He summoned the S.Y.S.T.E.M., Siderius' most dangerous weapon and escaped the prison, grafting his first mutation and plotting his revenge on those who had wronged him. We follow Siderius on the lonely road of a witch hunter as he gained more mutations, more weapons, more Alchemical Sigils to enact his revenge and become an immortal. --- The MC will NOT become monstrous.

"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. _______ If you want to know more about the cover: Yep, that's Luna, the FL... Her skin and clothes are morphing into shimmering scales from her dragon power. Remember Sailor Moon? Magical girls? Now imagine if the magical outfit wasn’t a cute dress, but an actual dragon! The dragon is the dress... It’s not just fashion; it’s fusion. High-level beasts tend to leave their mark, and Luna wears it like a boss, pulling off the ultimate power move. _______ 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.

There were ninety-nine… ninety-nine heartbeats. Ninety-nine screams. Ninety-nine souls, devoured by the fangs of tyranny. Ninety-nine corpses, turned to ash… and one infant—whose cry was not a cry of weakness, but a roar of blood waiting to boil. When a clan is slaughtered, when bloodlines are ripped from bones, only one question remains: why did you survive? But survival was not mercy… it was a curse—a different kind of curse. They sealed the bloodline legacy inside his body—the secrets of his ancestors—and exiled him to the Great Wilderness, a place where not even monsters fought over dead prey. He had no name. No lineage. No home. But blood never forgets. And when it ignites… nothing can extinguish its flame. This is not a hero’s story. This… is the beginning of a massacre.

At 28, MC Lin Yuan (orphan) is exhausted—trapped in a Gray corporate cubicle, buried under deadlines, fake smiles, and office politics. His only relief? Bitter alcohol and dreams of a peaceful, carefree life. One stormy night, while stumbling across a bridge, he notices a little girl about to be struck by a speeding truck. Instinct takes over. He dives forward, pushes her to safety—only to be hit and thrown off the bridge himself. When he opens his eyes… No city sounds. No pain. Only endless golden fields, whispering winds, lush forests, and towering green mountains. He has transmigrated into a cultivation world. But awakens not as a warrior, not as a genius young master but as a spiritual farmer with a Reward System! “Grow crops. Harvest cultivation treasures. Cultivate and become Immortal.” Each crop harvest gives spiritual energy, skills, pills, artifacts—even cultivation techniques. While others bleed in dangerous realms and fight over scraps, he cultivates strength through soil, sun, and sweat. But in a world where strength is law, can a farmer truly remain carefree? Will his peaceful fields stay untouched—or will enemies come to reap what he has sown? Will he choose the path of the farmer… or the path of the sword? or both? Join Lin Yuan on his extraordinary journey—from burned-out corporate worker to immortal spiritual farmer, growing not just crops… but power, wisdom, and destiny itself. ---------------------- what you can expect : -> Clear story flow -> No braindead/stupid/low IQ MC -> No excessive side stories -> Max effort in writing to provide relaxation for readers not frustration -> You can expect beast pets, adventures and other things because MC is not a shut in NEET -> Display of the MC inventory at every harvest for ideal consumption of resources and tally them -> There will be standard rules of cultivation to avoid confusion when comparing MC to others -> You can check auxiliary chapters for the standards and rules, these chapters will be updated along with the story progression ----------------------

Since childhood, Nova has always struggled to understand others. While everyone else could feel happiness, sadness, or anger, he remained an emotionless doll. It wasn’t really his fault—he was born with the Spectrum of Serenity. Over time, he learned to live that way, shaping a calm and detached personality that contrasts sharply with the chaotic, dangerous world around him—a world filled with Aberrations, Dimensional Portals, people whose powers stem from the Emotional Spectrum, and countless mysteries born from the fall of a notorious asteroid over a thousand years ago. As a mere Support-type Empath in such a world, Nova will soon be drawn into the depths of a greater mystery—one that will lead him to uncover what lies beyond the stars. This is the story of the one who will become the Endless of the Universe. __________________________________ Tags: Fantasy/Science Fiction Updates: 7 to 8 chapters per week.
