survival

Elera ran from her abusive husband in the middle of the night. She never made it home. After a fatal accident, she wakes up in Vorath — a brutal world where women are nothing more than property, sold to the highest bidder and forced to kneel before powerful men. Clumsy. Weak. Powerless. That’s what they think she is. But Elena has already survived one monster. She refuses to bow again. In a kingdom built on chains, she will rise. In a world that sells women, she will take the throne. And this time… she won’t run.

Penance is a prison of eternal damnation for those who go against the will of the gods. Growing up in the slums of District Nine, Nacht was exposed to the worst of humanity and developed a relentless ambition to change it—even if it was in his own unconventional way. After performing a disgraceful ritual, Nacht is sent into penance where he is bestowed a mysterious power along with an insidious punishment.

It's not just a story about one world or one person's problems. It's a story from many worlds, from many lives and deaths. It's a story of the people we meet, the desire to live and find peace in death. There is no death for the grave keeper. Nothing in this world is eternal. The grave keeper will die when the world dies.

Adam was obsessed with Genetic Ascension, a massively popular online game where players cultivated mutated genes to grow stronger in a brutal world of monsters and evolution. He spent countless hours mastering its mechanics, learning its secrets, and dreaming of power he could never have in real life. Then the impossible happened. Humanity was ripped from Earth and thrust into the actual world of Genetic Ascension—a nightmarish reality where monsters are real, death is permanent, and only the strong survive. Billions face extinction as they struggle to adapt to a world they only thought they knew. Like everyone else, Adam awakens a System to help him survive. But unlike everyone else, his comes with a unique skill that defies all logic: **Infinite Gene Evolution**. While others are limited in how they can upgrade their genes, Adam has no such restrictions. Every gene he obtains can be evolved endlessly, transforming him from ordinary teenager into something far beyond human. With his knowledge of the game and his unprecedented ability, Adam has a chance not just to survive, but to thrive. Yet infinite power comes with infinite choices—and in a world where humanity teeters on the brink, every decision could mean the difference between salvation and extinction. Evolution has no limits. But does his humanity?

A thousand years ago, a mysterious asteroid crashed into Earth, nearly wiping out all life on the planet. However, stubborn humanity survived, gaining strange powers after being infected by a virus the asteroid carried with it—and that was not the only thing that came with the catastrophe. Abominable creatures flooded the world, and Dimensional Portals opened, bringing forth the Aberrations. In the present day, Nova Asmodai is a Seventh-level Empath who fights the Aberrations emerging from the Portals alongside his closest friends. It is a simple, yet dangerous job—one that maintains order in his country. He uses his Spectrum of Serenity—which secretly prevents him from understanding other people’s emotions—to enhance his allies’ powers. After all, he is a Support. One day, however, during a visit to a nearby city to watch battles between elite Empaths and Aberrations, Nova is thrown into a portal by a mysterious and invisible force, becoming trapped on the other side. Now, stranded in a dystopian desert filled with monsters, he must survive if he wants to make it back home. Author’s Note: The beginning of the story will be mostly introductory before the key events—up until around chapter 29—where I will introduce moments that will remain important throughout the story. This will be a long journey of over two thousand chapters.

In a world overrun by monstrous creatures and dark entities, humanity is forced to fight back. A renowned organization develops an evolutionary method to combat these threats. Using advanced technology, they create Systems through a combination of neural interfaces, high-tech implants, energy conduits, and Magic Cores. These components channel and amplify raw magical energy, simulate hidden abilities, and awaken extraordinary skills in chosen individuals. Advanced machines study the Magic Core, revealing the powers and traits it contains and fusing them with the compatible human host. Through this process, a human can access the abilities of the supernatural being inside the Core, gaining skills and strength far beyond normal limits. As the world evolves many of these dark entities also now evolve and can blend into society, making them nearly impossible to detect until it’s too late. Ezekiel is chosen to wield the Sorcerer System, granting him the power to control magic. Alongside him are his squadmates, each equipped with their own unique Systems, combining their powers to take on deadly missions. Together, they face formidable enemies, navigate a society where danger could come from anywhere, and uncover hidden conspiracies that threaten humanity itself.

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)

Ethan Crowe walked out of prison after seven years with nothing to his name and nowhere to belong. The world he returned to was unrecognisable. Gates had torn open across the globe, monsters roamed beyond human control, and society now revolved around the Titled - people chosen by mysterious voices and granted supernatural powers that made them heroes, weapons, and rulers all at once. Ethan wasn’t one of them. Not at first. Lost, angry, and with no future worth chasing, Ethan was barely surviving when a voice finally spoke to him. "Your title is… Lord Of Beasts." But his awakening was wrong. Instead of power manifesting in the real world, Ethan was dragged into the Tower of Beasts - a brutal, game-like realm he could only enter while asleep. There, he hunts, tames, and evolves monstrous beasts that persist beyond his dreams… Registered as an E-Rank Titled with D-Rank potential, Ethan should have been insignificant. Yet the Lord Of Beasts cannot be measured by ordinary means. As Ethan grows stronger at an impossible rate, his existence begins to ripple outward - drawing the attention of elite Titled, criminal syndicates, and the Gates themselves. His past refuses to stay buried. His beasts grow more dangerous. And the truth behind his title hints at something far older and far more terrifying than anyone realises. In a world ruled by power, Ethan Crowe starts at the bottom. But as Lord Of Beasts, it's only a matter of time before he reaches the top! P.S.

In a world of glass and steel, he was a prisoner of his own failing body. His life was defined by sterile hospital rooms and the slow ticking of a clock, ending quietly as his heart finally gave out in a lonely bed. But darkness was not the end. Thrown across the sands of time, he opens his eyes not to the beeping of machines, but to the raw, savage beauty of the Stone Age. He is Arthur, the son of the legendary Chief Tor of the Black Rock Tribe. However, this primal world grants no mercy. Just three moons into his new life, his invincible father is butchered within the safety of their own valley, leaving the tribe on the brink of chaos and the position of Chieftain vacant. Armed with the wisdom of a modern civilization and the backing of the formidable Elder Mother, Arthur faces a brutal choice: cow to the savage laws of the wild, or rewrite them entirely. He chooses the latter. He won’t just hunt beasts or seek revenge; he will build an empire that history will never forget. *** Disclaimer: All characters and events in this story are purely fictional and have no association with real individuals, organizations, or historical events.

In a world where magic is everything, sixteen-year-old Caelum Thorne awakens a power thought extinct for three hundred years: void magic—the ability to erase existence itself. Cast out by his noble family for appearing "Unawakened," Caelum discovers his rare and dangerous affinity corrupts those who wield it, slowly consuming their identity until nothing remains. Given only two years before the void destroys him completely, he must master his power while fighting in a desperate war against Solarius the Devastator, a tyrant whose forces of undead warriors threaten to reduce all civilization to ash.

Jasmine received "shocking" news: she had to marry the Dragon Ghost as his wife. But in exchange, after the marriage, she would inherit the entire estate, subjects, and territory of her husband. Jasmine was overjoyed: "Is there such a sweet deal in this world?" On the wedding day, she dressed up sharply and stepped into the magnificent cathedral, casting an affectionate glance toward her future partner. And then she saw... a Dragon Egg. The majestic Dragon Ghost was nowhere to be seen; there was only an egg lying there all by itself. Inventory of assets: A dilapidated castle, with drafty winds blowing in from all directions. Subjects: Three hundred skin-and-bone slaves who, at first glance, looked like walking skeletons about to collapse from hunger. Territory: A dead land spanning ten thousand square kilometers around the Dragon Valley, so desolate that "dogs eat stones and chickens eat pebbles." Jasmine knew she had fallen for the scam of the century, but unfortunately, the knights who escorted Jasmine here had long since "whipped their horses and vanished," running away a long time ago. An old butler, so aged he could barely walk, tremblingly stepped forward, waiting for the new Lord's instructions: "My Lord..." Jasmine held the "egg-husband" in her arms, and her rational nerves snapped: "I have land and people, could I really let myself starve to death?" Putting words into action, Jasmine rolled up her sleeves and officially embarked on the path of tilling the soil to get rich. Many years later. A strange town suddenly appeared on the mainland, rumored to be obscenely wealthy. From that place flowed exquisite fabrics, pure white porcelain, and sparkling jewelry... Anyone who had ever set foot there could not help but exclaim in amazement, while wandering poets competed to compose poems praising that prosperity until their throats were sore. A certain greedy King became overcome with avarice and brought a massive army, intending to seize the town for his own. The result? They were treated to the sight of a giant dragon descending from the sky to "pay them a visit."

I transmigrated into the lowest realm, but I make a deal with the most powerful abomination.

In the wake of the bloody skirmishes between the Planetary Defense Forces (PDF) and the Traitor Guard, the war-torn surface of the Hive World is littered with the "expended" assets of the God-Emperor. While others see only corpses and ruin, Kian Voss, a scavenger blessed with the "Scavenge-Strike-Extract" System, sees a golden opportunity to strip the land bare. A discarded Lasgun from a fallen guardsman? Claimed. It’s loaded with Mark III Overcharge Packs. A set of scorched Carapace Armor? Stripped. That’s Grade-4 reinforced plate. The Bolt Pistol of a dead Commissar? Emperor's Mercy! It’s chambered with Grade-5 Kraken Penetrators! A wrecked Leman Russ Battle Tank? Pry open the hull—he’s just salvaged a Master-crafted Archaeotech Power Cell! Everything goes back to his Underhive Sanctum. By trading with hive-gang syndicates and black-market contacts, Kian exchanges his loot for construction materials to fortify his base. From his hidden workshop, he manufactures Artificer-pattern Stubbers and High-output Power Cells. Clad in his own customized Power Armor, Kian Voss spearheads the assault against the heretic. His goal? To farm enough "Favor of the Emperor" to eventually ascend to the foot of the Golden Throne itself!

After finishing an otome game-themed novel, a man was pulled into its world by a message left on the final page. Upon arrival, he was enslaved, then assigned as a servant to the female antagonist—the very character he had despised while reading. What awaited him next was uncertain. Death, prolonged suffering, or something else entirely.

[Let characters from different worlds become hunters and save the day!] The world is full of monsters that defy common sense—some are keystones of their ecosystems, while others are outright destroyers. And whenever such creatures appear, hunters rise to face them. Hunters are strong, brave, and righteous guardians of nature… except when things go a little sideways. Hunters, united in camaraderie (aka ganging up on the monster). Hunters, steadfast and unyielding (aka carting endlessly). Hunters, protectors of the environment (aka loot hoarders). Join our Monster Hunter Assembly! You could be the next legendary guardian of nature! Old Joseph Joestar: "Kars! A single signal arrow calls forth an army! Your next line will be—" Shield Hero: "Heavy bowguns turn fights into turn-based RPGs." Kazuma: "As a Long Sword main, not carting is the victory!"

[3+ NEW CHAPTERS DAILY] Fifty years ago, the world ended. The Awakening unleashed nightmare creatures that devoured civilization, leaving humanity to cower behind the walls of seven isolated cities. In Bastion, survival means scavenging the ruins beyond the barriers—and never asking what waits in the dark. Kael Thorne has spent his life scraping by in the Lower City, stealing from the dead to keep his sister alive. But when Lyra falls ill with a strange wasting sickness that no physician can explain, Kael discovers something impossible: he can see the threads of fate itself. Golden threads bind people together. Red threads warn of impending death. And black threads... black threads reveal a corruption spreading through the city like a plague. His gift comes with a terrible price. Every thread he cuts to change someone's fate burns away months—sometimes years—of his own life. As the barriers that protect Bastion begin to fail and the nightmares grow bolder, Kael must decide how much of himself he's willing to sacrifice. Because some threads were never meant to be cut. And some fates are hungry.

Bastion Ridder was but a boy when war found the once peaceful village of Leafaria. It was an all-encompassing war of might and magic, one that would throw the land of Crayosia into a spiral from which it would never recover. The sins of his father would come knocking in the form of a laundry-list of foes, and only Bastion would be there to answer that call. With his fathers spear in hand, and a slowly gathered crew of both rivals and companions, Bastion would crawl from the ashes of his home and seek out those responsible for its destruction. It would all began one fateful day just within the gates of Leafaria...

"Hmphff… I don’t really care about myself. I’ve always been the forgotten one. The useless one, basically just another side character. So if that’s the case, then I might as well use myself as a weapon, to protect humanity... The ones whose lives actually matter. Even if it means going all alone. I’ll massacre those pathetic creatures all by myself." — Hyzar Kage In one sudden night the world got consumed by terrifying zombies, starving for blood, a boy named Hyzar Kage seizes the chaos, using his sharp gaming instincts and knowledge to protect what remains of humanity. Not knowing that this war was never just against the moaning, skidding dead. It was against something far worse than these mindless monsters… There were more, the ones not merely starving for blood, but driven by something far deeper. A twisted sense of redemption against humanity… Through this war, Hyzar will be forced to endure emotions to their highest calibre like Betrayal. Love. Hate. Heartbreak. And above all else, suffering. A lot of suffering. A battle where he will lose everything.
