survival

Alex Mercer died suddenly in his previous world. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself inside the brutal universe of The Walking Dead. Walkers roam the streets. Civilization has collapsed. And survival is the only rule. But Alex isn't just another survivor. After reincarnating, he awakens a unique Resource Survival System that allows him to obtain weapons, food, medical supplies, and equipment by eliminating walkers and completing survival objectives. No magic. No supernatural powers. Only cold tactics, combat efficiency, and the resources needed to dominate the apocalypse. With instincts similar to an elite special forces operator, Alex quickly becomes something far more dangerous than the undead. A ghost moving through the ruins of civilization. A hunter among the dead. As rumors begin spreading among survivors, people start whispering about a mysterious masked man who appears from the shadows and wipes out entire groups of walkers with terrifying precision. They begin calling him: "The Ghost of the Apocalypse." But in a world where the living can be more dangerous than the dead, power alone will not guarantee survival. Along the way, Alex forms deep bonds with other survivors, including Amy and Beth Greene. As the apocalypse changes everyone around him, these relationships slowly develop into something deeper than friendship. However, love in the end of the world is never simple. --- Author Note: This story was created with the assistance of AI tools and is mainly a personal project made for my own enjoyment and creativity.

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. You 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. 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 through every kind of conceivable catastrophe. ———————— 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. short ass rant, lol. Kristen out, peace.

A modern US soldier and his batallion die immediately when flying to a rapid mobilization order in Iraq. The Goddess Triamal saves the batallion and offers them a tantalizing offer: Live a second time with a chance for redemption, or die and return to Earth. Most take the offer, going to war against a world. The age old question: "can a modern army unit win against an entire world" is on display here. *Disclaimers* There is no harem in here. There is a single FMC, and that will never change. Yes, there will be romance, and no the MC is not a spineless wimp who doesn't know how to treat women. This is not a "guy gains a system, and speed blitzes everything" story, there are stakes, there will be death, and the pacing may slow at times. I may get a few things wrong from time to time about how a battalion moves. Feel free to tell me when/if that happens. This is not a story about "conquering another world because a portal showed up." No, this is "we are fighting an entire world for our second chance at life" Chapter updates: Monday through Thursday I will release between 2-4 chapters. Fridays through Sundays will be 1-2 chapters. (i work weekends)

Did I just get reincarnated to the old self and the old world? What the hell kind of reincarnation is this? And that too no system? Fine. I guess I will do things this time differently. But wait what is these two white bulbs inside my head that I can even internally see. Is that the system? Nope. It's better than I thought.  Follow Aric has he gets access to two different universes, one based on magic and other based on technology. Now he can teleport to two different universes whenever he wishes. Hopping around seems fun! What to expect :  * 1000 words per chapter at least with 4 5 chapters per week  * No harem * Don't expect MC to be a genocidal maniac but he will be ambitious.

I died at the end of the world. Three years of monsters, dungeons, and endless betrayal — and in the end, it wasn't a monster that killed me. It was the people I trusted most. My best friend. My guild. The woman I loved. I died on my knees in a cell with chains on my wrists. And then I woke up. March 16th. The morning of Card Selection Day. The day the Divine Council announced the Culling and gave humanity ten seconds to choose the class that would decide whether they lived or died. Last time I panicked. Last time I grabbed a 3-star card and spent three years barely surviving. This time I scrolled all the way to the bottom. This time I drew the card that was never supposed to exist — a 7-star class designated for one purpose alone: **killing gods.** They flagged my selection immediately. The Divine Council knows what I drew. They know what I'm coming for. Good. I have a list of names. Some of them are human. Some of them are gods. **None of them are ready for what's coming.** --- *[Sovereign of Ruin is a dark fantasy apocalypse novel featuring a regressor protagonist, a god-slayer class system, survival against endless monster waves, and a slow-burn revenge arc against both humans and the divine beings who started the Culling.]*

The first time the world ended, I died without understanding anything. The second time… I watched it happen. Monsters fell from the sky. Humanity collapsed in minutes. But this time, I came back. With a system. Not one that saves people. Not one that helps. A system that forces me to choose. “To gain power, you must lose something.” My first quest? Kill a human. If I refuse, I die. If I accept… I become something worse than the monsters. This time, survival isn’t enough. I will decide what I become.

In the depths of the Sandalwood Forest lives a witch feared by all—Moira. Yet behind the rumors and fear, she spends her days telling stories to the child she raised. Not fairy tales. Not legends. But real stories—of cursed artifacts, forbidden magic, and the countless fates she has witnessed... and twisted. Each tale hides a secret. Each secret holds power. The more you listen, the deeper you fall into a world where stories can shape reality itself.

Waking up naked in a haunted bathtub was not on the Kim Jae's bucket list. Neither was bonding with a grotesque parasite, housing a bunch of rude guests, or battling a god-like entity in a house that seems as alive. Suddenly dragged into a war-torn world where every choice could kill him, he's just trying to survive long enough to figure out how he got here and how to get out. But when every step forward leads closer to the end, the real question isn’t if he’ll die—it’s how many will follow him there.

When Yunxue woke up, she had already lost everything. Her memories were gone. Her soul core was shattered. Her past had been erased as if she had never existed. The only thing she remembered… was her name. Abandoned in the depths of the Forbidden Forest, a place where even powerful cultivators fear to enter, Yunxue should have died.

Damián Dos Santos died at eighteen with blades in his eye, throat, and body. Then he woke up in a forest in another world. In this world, everything depends on two things: energy, which fuels the body, and mana, which fuels magic. Damián should’ve been blessed. His right eye draws endless ambient energy from the world into his body, giving him freakish stamina, recovery, and physical potential. His left eye swallows incoming magic. There’s just one problem. His mana well is blocked. He can’t cast spells. He can’t use the magic his cursed eye stores. He can’t even fight properly. Worse, he’s so lazy he doesn’t bother chasing a cure, and he doesn’t even realize how much power he’s wasting. Dragged into a massive magic-filled city just as its biggest tournament is about to begin, Damián ends up learning the world from the cheap seats—watching prodigies, betting on strangers, talking trash, and slowly realizing the strongest people here can cast in the blink of an eye. In a city obsessed with schools, teams, rising stars, and public hype, the loudest guy in the stands might be the strangest monster of them all.
