survival

Aren transmigrates into the body of a dying boy at the very moment the God Trials begin—an event that determines whether a world survives or is erased. Every youth between fifteen and twenty-five awakens a power, as the new generation that will enter the Trials. If the challengers die or fail, the entire world is wiped out. When Aren awakens, he gains an ability never seen before: Shadow—the power to devour foes, summon their shadows, steal their memories, and command an endless army born from darkness. In the very first Trial, he consumes a monster carrying a memory shard that reveals the hidden truth behind the God Trials… and why Aren’s existence in this world is a cosmic mistake. The gods want him erased. But Aren has already begun to consume their secrets. https://discord.gg/RpqJQ6Yys

A thousand years ago, humanity faced extinction. The dead. All the dead since the dawn of time rose and reclaimed the land of the living. Civilization burned. And the war dragged for ages. At the brink of annihilation, the first dragon riders carried mankind into the sky, forging the floating cities, the last refuge above the wastelands. For a century, humanity called it peace. Then Ebonspire fell. Devoured by undead hordes. Czar watched his mother and sister torn apart, leaving him with one burden. His niece, the last of his bloodline. When escape became impossible and hope rotted away, Satan came with an offer. Survive. Kill God. Or lose the only thing you have left. Now hunted by dragon knights, stalked by intelligent undead, and trapped in a primordial war, Czar fought. Not to save the world, but for survival and vengeance. My client is Satan. And my prey is God.

Torture or death…those were the only choices Kael ever considered. But what his enemies didn’t realize was that Kael had no limits, no mercy… and maybe no enemy at all. Death might offer escape, but even in the land of the dead, he would find them. After all, Kael loved haunting. For him, the end is only the beginning.

Beneath the gilded glow of an Ethos sunset, Leon—once Leonard Ventura, a burnt-out Earth coder—sits motionless by a forest stream, his small body a prison for an adult soul. Reborn as a four-year-old orphan in Acorn Village, a humble settlement clinging to the edge of the Whispering Forest, he hides his clarity behind a veil of vacant stares. For weeks, he has pretended to be the "broken" child the villagers pity, silently absorbing every thread of this medieval world: the feudal chains of the Aurestia Empire, the scarcity of metal and magic, and the quiet fear in his adoptive mother Erika’s eyes—fear that her son will never truly awaken. But Leon is awake. And he is adapting. His former life’s greatest tools—programming logic, engineering ingenuity, a knack for pattern-solving—are not obsolete here. They are his secret weapon. In a world where survival depends on balance between land and forest, light and shadow, his Earth-born rationality becomes a bridge to Ethos’s hidden magic. When he crosses paths with Eldrin, a reclusive herbal mage fleeing the tyrannical Holy Light Church, Leon discovers his mind can decode runic systems like code, refine elemental salts like chemicals, and turn simple tools into instruments of survival. Yet peace is fragile. Acorn Village lies in Greyrock Territory, where Count Valerius monopolizes the sacred Salt Lake—source of both sustenance and magical stabilization—while the Church hunts "heretical" magic users like Eldrin. When shadow-tainted beasts from the Transverse Mountains’ sealed rift begin terrorizing the village, Leon’s charade collapses. Forced to reveal his brilliance to protect Erika and his new home, he becomes a target: the Church brands him a threat to their dogma, the Count sees him as a challenge to his power, and ancient forces stir, sensing a balance-shifter in their midst. To survive, Leon must forge unlikely alliances—with a skeptical Moonshade elf from the Whispering Forest, a gruff dwarf blacksmith guarding star-silver ore, and followers of the Nightveil Sect, unjustly accused of unleashing the shadow corruption. Together, they must unravel the Church’s lie: the Shadow Rift was not opened by heretics, but by the Church itself, in a greedy bid to monopolize light magic. Leon’s journey is one of reinvention. He must merge Earth’s logic with Ethos’s elemental laws to craft a new kind of magic—one that heals, unites, and restores balance. From a silent observer to a leader, from a stranger in a child’s body to the Balancekeeper Ethos needs, he will learn that power lies not in domination, but in harmony. In a world where gods play with fates and empires crumble over greed, Leon’s greatest magic is not spells or swords—it’s the courage to rewrite the rules. Will he bridge two worlds to save Ethos… or will the weight of his past and the chaos of his present consume him? *Balancekeeper of Ethos* weaves gritty survival, heartfelt family bonds, and epic fantasy into a tale where a coder’s wit outshines sorcery—and the unlikeliest hero becomes the world’s last hope.

【WSA 2026 Entry】 ════════════════════ Birth of the Biomancer: Mio was the worst healer in Tokyo. F-grade, dead weight—her party kept her around out of pity until they did the math and left her bleeding in a ruined cathedral. Something ancient was waiting there. It offered her a Class that devours its hosts—a path of power that claimed the lives of the three Biomancers who came before her. Mio said yes anyway. She’d already felt the sting of a slow death; what was one more monster in her veins? Now pain is currency, death is fuel, and the hunger grows with every kill. The Bureau wants a weapon. Her sister wants her home for dinner. Mio agreed to both. In a world of Systems and Dungeons, power isn't a gift; it's a trade. And Mio is finally ready to pay the price. ════════════════════ What This Is: [1] This is a progression fantasy with system elements, but the system serves the story, not the other way around. Expect meaningful numbers, not stat spam. [2] Romance is not the focus. Mio has bigger problems. But expect a slow-burn later down the line! [3] The story gets dark, but it's earned. No grimdark for shock value. ════════════════════ Schedule: 1-2 chapters daily @ 10am-2pm CST | Chapter Length: 1,000-1,500 words ════════════════════ Powerstone Goals: 100 = +1 chapter 250= +2 chapters 500= +3 chapters 800 = +5 chapters ════════════════════ Author's Note: This is my debut contracted work, born from a love for progression fantasy where power isn't a gift; it's a trade. I’m committed to seeing this journey through to the end. As long as you guys keep reading and supporting, the chapters won't stop. Let’s see how high the price of power goes. ════════════════════ Support Me: Collections, comments, and reviews keep this alive! ════════════════════ #weak_to_strongest #female_lead #mass_awakening #dark_fantasy

I closed my eyes and let out a soft gasp. My fingers were numb and cold, my arm aching where the needle pierced the vein. Something clattered onto the pavement. The needle. It must have slipped out of my hand. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first sense of peace that I'd felt since...ever. But that was okay. It meant that there was no one to miss me, and no one I would miss. Well, perhaps there would be a few, but they could always find others to extract their cruel, sadistic pleasure from. My last breath was rough and shallow, the last beat of my heart pitifully fail. I sank to the alley floor, eyes closing, welcoming the blessed nothingness of the end. Only...death was supposed to be dark, wasn't it? And since when did 'nothingness' have so many gods? Discord: https://discord.gg/PX3xqJdZMY

(Just type 'UMAASDC' in the search area for find this book) Once, you were only a mobile game player and anime viewer, someone who knew the races, the skills, and all the back stories of Uma Musume: Pretty Derby. Everything belonged on a screen. Until one night, your phone glitched, and you woke up standing before Tracen Academy, holding a real Trainer ID.

It's up to you, trainer-san! (The race uses the in-game skill, so enjoy it!)

I’m a proud NEET who’s devoured every romance novel, manga, webtoon, and otome game out there. Just when I thought I’d conquered it all, a black bunny appeared in my dream. “Congrats! You’ve been chosen to help villains win across multiple worlds!” “Like a game?” “Uh . . . sure.” “Great, I’m in!” And just like that, I became an agent of the Villain System. Time to rewrite some happily-ever-afters—villain style. **[NOTE!]** This novel features multiple short arcs, each exploring different tropes such as ancient China, the modern world, beasts, werewolves, vampires, fantasy, school romance, idol groups—you name it! The twist? Each arc focuses on our MC making the villain (male) triumph over the male and female leads. The story is written primarily in 2nd and 3rd person POV for a dynamic and immersive experience. || Excerpt || [WARNING! MATURE Content Ahead!] “Then serve me . . . properly.” The command was both sensual and authoritative, and Xue Li’s pulse quickened under his intense gaze. The air between them grew heavy, her trembling hands faltering as she began to run the sponge across his chest, her touch featherlight against his scars. “Y-yes your majesty.” Han Feng leaned back slightly, watching her through half-lidded eyes, his expression unreadable. “Slower,” he murmured, his voice a low rumble that made her pulse skip. “You’re trembling,” he said, his voice velvet smooth, making her flinch. “I-It’s the steam, Your Majesty,” she stammered, though she knew it was a poor excuse. Han Feng chuckled softly, the sound deep and rich. “Hmm . . . Is that so? Then you have no problem cleaning my cock right?” Xue Li's eyes trembled, on the verge of tears, which seemed to please Han Feng. His smile grew wider as he urged her on. "Go on. You're going to serve me properly, aren't you?"
