survival

Reincarnated a thousand years in the past, what is a guy to do but go on the greatest adventure the world has never seen? There is so much to see, and so much to do. He won't be satisfied until he's experienced it all. Set in Highschool DxD but Crossed with Jujutsu Kaisen with some other minor crossovers planned. The fic is going to be about the journey of a man who wants to see the world and everything interesting it holds. I have a Discord! Discord.gg/Pj3Dttwses I also have a Patreon! Patreon.com/user?u=41732867 I post on Webnovel.com, Scribblehub.com, Fanfiction.net and now ArchiveOfOurOwn and QuestionableQuesting for the first time. If you see my fic posted anywhere else, I don't really care. Feel free to steal any of my ideas. Though, it would make me happy to be told about it so I can see for myself :)

In the fractured kingdom of Veyra, no one is born whole. Every soul is split at birth, and I entered the world with the proof carved into my skin: a scar over my heart and a prophecy burned onto my ribs. It foretold that if I ever killed my missing half, our two fractured pieces would become one complete soul within me, granting me power to challenge the gods themselves. For twenty-three years, I believed my other half was the enemy, the ruthless general known as the Kalakatas, whom I was destined to hunt and destroy. Then I finally faced him on a bridge littered with the dead. And I understood everything. The scar on my chest blazed with fire, mirrored perfectly on his. We are not enemies. We are one soul, torn apart. To kill him is to become whole, but at the cost of wiping him from existence forever. The prophecy says the victor must then choose: sacrifice our united soul to save the world, or let the world be consumed. He looked at me, not with hatred, but with a weary smile. "So you're the half that got the conscience." My dagger was at his throat in an instant. "And you're the half that got the death wish." Now, we are bound together, fugitives from the very kingdoms we served. Every accidental touch is a dangerous pull, threatening to complete the merge and end one of us. We are racing against armies and fanatical priests to find a way to break a destiny we never asked for. But the most terrifying truth is dawning on us: this prophecy was written in the victor's blood, from a future where this has already happened. One of us won, and forced this cycle to repeat. To save the world, we must do the impossible. We must defy fate itself and answer the one question that could break us: Which half of a single soul deserves to live?

Bodies pile up like cordwood, the stench of death hanging heavy in the air as the clash of steel continues unabated. In this crucible of bloodshed, there is no room for mercy or remorse.

Centuries of scientific skepticism and apathy have left the world's great pantheons—from the mighty Æsir of Norse mythology to the revered Orisha of Africa—bored and powerless. Longing for the true fervor and glory of the Heroic Ages, fifteen major Pantheons collaborate on a desperate, cosmic gamble: the creation of Aethelgard. Aethelgard is a vast, fractal world where myths are real, split into distinct, dangerous zones perfectly tailored to each divine faction—from the freezing, volcanic fjords of the Norse to the eternal deserts of the Egyptians and the misty islands of the Japanese. The Champion’s Calling From the mundane reality of the modern world, Leif, a twenty-five-year-old Norse Pagan, is violently pulled into the heart of the Norse zone. Chosen as the Champion of the Æsir, Leif is thrust into a reality governed by the "System," a cosmic interface that tracks his every action. He must complete divine Quests to gain skills, powers, legendary weapons, and allies, all while trying to survive a landscape teeming with Jötnar, draugar, and hostile nature spirits. His greatest challenge, however, is the Norse Faction Approval Rating. Every choice Leif makes—from tactical retreats to morally ambiguous alliances—is judged in real-time by his divine sponsors (Odin, Thor, Frigg) and detractors (Loki). Gaining Favor grants powerful Blessings; losing it risks the wrath of gods whose disappointment can be lethal. The Race for Glory Leif quickly realizes he is not alone. Fourteen other Champions, each embodying the spirit of their respective Pantheons, are also active in Aethelgard. They are rivals in a celestial competition where the ultimate stakes are nothing less than the restoration of their gods' power and influence over all creation. Leif must navigate the brutal terrain, manage the volatile temperaments of his divine backers, and contend with Champions like the disciplined Roman, the powerful Hindu, and the fiercely independent Native American, if he hopes to win the second Age of Heroes.

The novel opens with Elara Vane, known only by her cold precision and her devastating vow to silence the House of Kaelen - the powerful, corrupt dynasty responsible for the execution of her father, Arthur Vane. Her father, an honest city architect, was murdered after exposing Kaelen's financial crimes, his memory silenced by the state. Elara’s quest is driven by the dark irony of the novel’s title, Epiglottis - the biological flap that prevents choking. She aims to ensure the Kaelen name, its legacy, and it's very breath, can never pass into the future. Elara’s methods are not those of a killer, but an architect of ruin. Her strikes are psychological and systemic, designed to preserve the Kaelen shell while poisoning its core. She begins by orchestrating the financial and social collapse of the eldest heir, Cassian, banishing him to ignominy. The second blow is even more tragic: deploying the Aesthetic Despondency Oil (ADO), a neuro-chemical weapon designed by her compromised mentor, Professor Thorne, to turn artistic creation into profound psychological pain for the daughter, Seraphina. Seraphina's resulting public breakdown ensures the loss of a crucial political marriage. As the dynasty begins to crumble, Elara encounters her greatest obstacle and most tragic complication: Commander Joric Tahl, the Head of Kaelen Security. Joric is a man of duty, a 'Shield' forced to serve a corrupt house to maintain life support for his critically ill sister, Elena. In their professional meetings - where Elara wears the mask of "Archivist Veridia" - a profound intellectual and moral connection forms. Joric is hunting a ghost; Elara is the ghost, and their shared despair over the city's corruption binds them in a devastating, impossible attraction. The tragic climax begins when Elara attempts the final, financial strike against Valen Kaelen, only to be blocked by the A-V-LOCK, the impenetrable firewall designed by her own murdered father. This failure forces Elara to abandon her moral code and plan a final, biological attack - the Mnemotic Lapse agent - targeting the youngest, most innocent Kaelen son, Elias, through the city's nutrient supply chain (The Citadel Gardens). The confrontation at the Citadel is the devastating turning point. Joric, having traced the biological threat and realized Elara's identity, arrives with the antidote. He confronts her, not with a weapon, but with a challenge: whether her father's "silent justice" truly extends to the erasure of a child's mind. Elara's resolve breaks, but the compound is accidentally released, contaminating the entire Kaelen food source. In the aftermath, Joric makes his agonizing choice: he cannot save the Kaelen name, but he must save Elena. He spares Elara, extracting a final pact - she must deliver the evidence of Valen Kaelen’s crimes, including the A-V-LOCK key, to ensure the dynasty’s public, total exposure, which would secure a new, honest government that would protect Elena. Elara complies, trading her freedom for the truth. In the epilogue, the Kaelen dynasty is utterly erased. Joric becomes a respected advisor in the new government, ensuring Elena's safety. Elara Vane, the architect of ruin, chooses the required silence, living as a quiet librarian in a distant coastal town. Her vengeance is complete, having restored her father's truth. Her final piece of closure is a new copy of her father’s book, delivered by Joric, bearing the inscription: The Epiglottis protects the breath. The truth sets it free. The silent vengeance leads not to further death, but to a collective breath of freedom for the city.

At twenty-five, scientist Nora agrees to enter a cryo-sleep chamber, the only chance to preserve her body and brilliant mind from the cancer rapidly consuming her. She shuts her eyes believing she will awaken to doctors, machines, and a cured future. Instead, she opens them to ruins. Humanity has collapsed into feral creatures crawling on all fours, hunting and devouring one another like wild beasts. And the beasts—wolves, tigers, panthers, even prey animals—now walk upright, speak, strategize, and build tribes. Civilization has inverted itself. Predators rule. Humans are pets, livestock, and sport. Among this new food chain, Nora is the only one who still remembers what science is… what intelligence is… and what humanity once meant. And intelligence is power. Power is war. To the beast clans, Nora is no longer prey, she is a weapon. A living artifact of a lost world. Something worth capturing… claiming… or killing for. Will she side with the Wolves, with their cold discipline? The Tigers, with their ruthless ambition? Or will she carve out a new empire of her own, right in the dens of beasts?

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. The MC stays relatively human with unique appearance traits (black irises, pointy ears, white hair,...) Witches in this novel are irredeemable. Not sexy witches but disgusting and evil witches. (Well maybe a little bit hot because of their magic) MC will not accept nor 'conquer' any witches. Just straight killing. NO ROMANCE. NO HAREM. This man is nothing but a pure killing machine and survivalist. MC is ruthless but not heartless, still save people he deemed useful. NO FACE-SLAPPING NOR SHOWING OFF. MC only cares about power and survival. NO HIDING AS THE WEAK. NO ATTACHMENTS. Current Releasing Schedule: 2 chapters/per day Releasing Time: 7:00 AM (GMT+8)

Kell Sterling went out for a game and a snack. He woke up in R’lyeh. When the frozen ocean split open and alien creatures swarmed the city, humanity wasn’t conquered—it was harvested. Kell watched people dragged away, experimented on, broken. When the aliens chose a child, he stepped forward and volunteered to take her place. He died for that choice. Then he died again. And again. And again. A god older than the sea rebuilt him through hundreds of brutal deaths, reshaping him into the vessel it wanted—an eldritch lord carved from shadow, blood, and impossible geometry. When the training finally ended, the god stripped away every level he’d earned and cast him back into the ruined world at Level 1. Now Kell walked through collapsing cities with powers no human should wield, hunted by the Greylith that claimed R’lyeh and watched by the ancient presence whispering in his mind. He wasn’t a hero. He was the chosen vessel of something that dreamed in the deep. And the Greylith were about to learn what they awakened.

After dying in an accident, I woke up in the world of John Wick. No cheat system, no female lead, no mainstream plot—only a rusty Proficiency Panel that barely shows anything. Rent overdue, girlfriend gone, memories sealed, and a creepy landlady knocking at midnight… my life was already a mess. Until I rescued a beagle wearing a tag that said Daisy. That night, John Wick himself told me: “The Continental Hotel will be waiting for you at 8.” From that moment on, my bloody journey as a killer began. Bullets, blades, and legends—if I want to survive in this stitched universe of assassins and spies, I have only one choice: Train like hell, and kill like the best. 【Various Films + Stitched Universe + Proficiency Panel + High-Energy Gunfight + Famous Scenes + Official Rant + No Mainstream System + No Female Lead + Tribute to Classics】 [Stories already started: John Wick 1-2 | Mr. & Mrs. Smith | The Assassin's Creed | 007 Prequel | The Hitman's Bodyguard 1-2 | The Fate of the Furious | Fable Prequel | Kingsman: The Golden Circle | Red 1 | The Expendables 1 | Waistband | Three Days to Die | Mission: Impossible 4] [Stories to be started: Fast & Furious 5 | Prequel to The New World | Kingsman: The Golden Circle | Prequel to Twin Wolves | Prequel to Agent 47 | Prequel to Special Forces | Fury Rescue | Fury | The Mechanic | etc. etc. etc. etc. ...

At the end of the universe, the dying consciousnesses of the entire galaxy are forcibly uploaded into a Dyson Sphere megastructure known as the "Singularity Casino." Here, death is not a release, but the beginning of another brutal game. This world is dominated by an absolutely neutral, high-dimensional AI known as the "Lie-Eater." Here, violence is merely a fallback measure; lies and logic are the true blades of murder. Players are forced to participate in "Karmic Duels" that blend deadly physical trials with extreme psychological warfare. Winners plunder time to prolong their existence; losers are formatted to zero, utterly erased. Enter Ling Yan, a mad genius who worships the "Uncertainty Principle." He appears lazy and cynical, as if ready to rot by the roadside at any moment, but the instant he sits at the gambling table, he becomes the most bloodthirsty monster of all. To grasp the truth within one-in-a-billion odds, he will unhesitatingly sacrifice his limbs, his senses, and even his precious memories. In his eyes, there are no absolute dead ends, only undiscovered exploits. From the life-for-a-life "Blind Spot Poker," to the flesh-devouring "Maze Speedrun," to the mind-manipulating "Library Trade," Ling Yan ascends step by step, treading upon the bones of countless geniuses and madmen. He plays not for survival, but to uncover the ultimate deception concerning "reality" that hangs over this virtual hell.

I’m posting the Reddit “Basic Cut” version here because not everyone uses Reddit, and I notoriously take forever dropping the long-form chapters. This cut is the faster, funnier, horror-comedy version — the one that originally ran as a bite-sized serial. Think of it as the “aired on TV” edit while I’m still polishing the full Glitchstab Grotesque director’s cut. Same characters, same chaos, just in a shorter runtime. Until the longer version drops, you get this one to snack on, scream at, and laugh through. Welcome to the Hasherverse — a world where horror tropes are real, slashers are Class-ranked monsters, and murder is treated like performance art. Hashers are the poor souls signed up to stop them, or die trying, or both in the same shift. At the center are Nicky and Vicky: a banshee-blooded tactician with glowing nails and a grindhouse narrator problem, and a dryad–dark elf hybrid with a divine shield and the emotional availability of a haunted sinkhole. They’re not a couple, just battle partners, co-parents, roommates, and accidental fake-married infiltrators who refuse to talk about it. Their missions spiral through cursed cabins, ritual towns, and glitching kill zones, rewriting horror scripts as they go — and if you like brutal monster logic, slow-burn chaos, and found-family forged in blood and bad decisions, welcome to the job.

An ordinary student with a life just as ordinary, with aspirations and dreams as normal as people hold dearly. That was the being Cale Dice embodied for his entire 15 years of living, only after touching a mysterious envelope sitting in wait to be torn open did that normality end. Eyes shut tight once and in the next moment he stood with what once was a majestic school hall, the scent wafting off of hazel timber distorted facial features, a place full of the unordinary. That was Gardenia, a world fully lacerated from the real world, a world where gods freely make their domains at the edges, not drawing an inch closer to the nucleus. To even reach the real Gardenia, Cale had to pass the screening trial he now was faced with, all while surrounded by malformed creatures that fueled nightmares themselves. And that.. would only be the beginning to his turbulent path to becoming the ‘Top’ Student of Gardenia
