survival

At the heart of a wish lies an attempt at completion, a human desire to become our true and final selves. Wishes are fuelled by regrets and are bound eternally to the past, serving as approximations of what once was. We all experience regret and nostalgia, leading us to make wishes and find despair, but can we become our true selves despite this all? That's where the story of a girl who struggles to control her desires begins... Two souls sharing the same body and memory are living in Kyoto 2031. Tang-Ji Shizukesa, a girl who's grown up in her previous life with a hardcore passion for gaming, is now a bookworm in her new life who has no interest in video games. Along with her, Kazami and Hoyeon, the three childhood friends who separated 7 years ago due to an accident, have now been reunited again in a VRMMORPG game known as Dusk Protocol. The game has a unique combat system known as "Leere," a physical manifestation of an individual soul that can be conjured into deadly weapons. As Tang-Ji navigates this virtual world, she confronts the echoes of her past and the dissonance between her former self and her present identity. How will she cope with the rediscovery of a life she thought she left behind? How will Kazami and Hoyeon react to the new Tang-Ji? In a world where reality is malleable and death is just a click of a button away, the boundaries between past and present blur, forcing everyone to grapple with the truth of who they truly are.

Attendance was 74.8%. One missed class meant failure. But when the world glitch-shifted into the Khandava-Prastha, a missed class was the least of Dhruv's problems. On a college trip to Coorg, Dhruv and his classmates plunge off a cliff—not into a ravine, but into a mythological nightmare dungeon governed by a gamified System. While his friends unlock powerful classes like [Seer] and [Berserker], Dhruv’s status screen shows... nothing. No Class. No Potential. Just a rusty iron rod and a desperate need to survive. But in a world where the ancient Rakshasas roam and the sky is made of gears, being an anomaly might be the only way to break the System. Welcome to the Fifth Yuga. The exam has begun.

After Marineford, the world thinks Whitebeard’s quake power died with him. It didn’t. In the underground of Dressrosa, a disposable gladiator is executed in the colosseum—then opens his eyes inside his own corpse as a cold voice whispers: “Ajin System… activated.” Now an immortal anomaly, every death lets him revive, and every battle lets his invisible shadow soldiers devour pirates, Haki, and even Devil Fruit users. Hidden behind a harmless smile, he quietly eats away at Doflamingo’s black market, hunting one thing: the lost Tremor-Tremor Fruit. From Dressrosa’s arena to the New World ruled by the Yonko, every step narrows toward a single name: Marshall D. Teach, Blackbeard. In a sea where Devil Fruit users fear the ocean and death…

Once every thousand years, a blood-red moon rises, giving both vampires and werewolves immense power—but only one species can survive the ritual.

As the crimson moon approaches, he must ally with a defiant werewolf warrior to stop the ascension of a vampire god.

To end his misery means to first battle out over the war for narrative control in an increasingly unpredictable world with a seemingly hesitant enemy that can constantly monitor him. And his skills? Well let's just say they are quite a few but whose applications have far reaching consequences for Arken. Together with his followers, the sarcastic, cunning and devilish mind of Arken will forever change the world of Ambrenia and its inhabitants as it transforms into his own playground where he toys with choices, lives and incidences like child's play.

The world of Rohana exists beneath a barrier of luminous crosses that has enclosed humanity in a dome. Within it, the Rohana Federation bends to Rohai, a godlike figure whose staff bears seven crystals of immense power. His Church of Harmony has divided the world into city dwellers who harness crystal technology to live in advancement and comfort, and villagers who reject these powers, cling to simpler traditions, staying beyond the Church's reach. Haran Baratti fled his homeland and, along with his son Heron, sought refuge in Haugstad. Perhaps it was the will of the Creators, but after several star cycles of found peace, a tragedy strikes, leaving Heron to find himself alone with a mission to return to Tiwaz. The problem is that Tiwaz is in a different kingdom, a whole world away, and to get there, he'll need a special passport. One way to obtain it is to join an adventuring party that does international jobs. Heron will have to navigate a world of mechanical cities powered by crystalline powers and governed by various social structures. There he'll meet allies and face dangerous foes. And all of them have secrets; some of them, if revealed to the public, may reshape the very foundations of the Rohana Federation. Will Heron, in learning those secrets, realize that maybe some of those secrets should have stayed buried?

This is not a love story. This is an obsession that learned how to breathe. Ginny and Blaise were never meant to be a gentle pairing. She was wildfire that refused to dim. He was a mafia assassin raised in the last of the Sacred Twenty Eight, trained to kill threats in the dark and come home with a gift in place of confession. They are The Lovers reversed. They are choice twisted by fate. They are devotion sharpened into obsession. Ginny wants freedom. Blaise wants her. Only her. Always her. Their marriage is forced, their pasts are violent, their connection is toxic and magnetic in equal measure. They fight, they kiss, they cut each other open, they cling in the quiet afterward because no one else would survive them. If you are searching for soft romance, look elsewhere. This fic is blood, bruises, soul bonds, obsession, gore, and two people who love each other so deeply it destroys them both. This is not rainbows and healing arcs. This is violence in velvet bedrooms, soul bonds written in law, dangerous obsession, and two people who should never love each other but do, with a devotion that feels more like doom than destiny.

The moment Skyrim 6 was delayed again, my rage killed me literally. One blackout, one surge of electricity, and I woke up choking on smoke… in Helgen, seconds before the dragon attack that starts the game. Fire rained from the sky. Soldiers screamed. And lying in the rubble was a bound woman—Terrified. Injured. Moments from execution. Saving her was instinct. Realizing who she was nearly stopped my heart: She’s the Dragonborn. Now I’m trapped in a world that was never meant to be real—where every choice has consequences, every mistake can kill me, and killing a man leaves blood on my hands instead of on a screen. I can use magic that burns my soul. I wield a sword I’ve only ever clicked on. And I’ve already changed the story by saving the hero. I wasn’t reincarnated to play Skyrim. I was thrown into its most dangerous moment… standing beside the girl destined to save the world. And if I want to survive, I can’t be a spectator. I have to fight

Radeon once ruled a living cosmos. At the height of his power, he shattered it himself. Swallowing stars and laws to smother a pale outworld corruption that turned men into walking cages and ate reality for spoil. The price should have been simple. Oblivion. Instead, he woke up choking on corpse stink in a mountain sect’s seclusion cave, wearing the cooling flesh of a no-name scribe called Rai. The heavens above this world are quiet. Too quiet. The sects are weak and fearful. Books call phoenixes and starships old stories. Karmic threads of fate he sees are knotted with rot. Only one thing was certain in his mind. Someone dragged him out of death and cast him into this starved realm. To learn whose hand it was, he must climb again from weakness. He must steal strength from a world that has forgotten how to wield it. He must pry up the secrets buried in its ruins and walk past the height he once reached. Beyond the dead sky, other heavens await. Wars are being waged there against the corruption beyond. --- WHAT TO EXPECT – Calculating, realistic main character choices – Cultivation laced with eldritch power – No game system or status panels – No tantrum-throwing young masters or childish fickleness – No selfless heroics. Every move is for profit, survival, or the long road to power --- Update Schedule: Guaranteed One to Two Chapters Daily at 12:00 UTC
