survival

In a city where memories are currency, the poor trade their pasts to survive, and the powerful hoard memories to rule. Skills, reputations, relationships—everything can be bought, stolen, or erased. Lyric wakes up in an alley with no name, no past, and a terrifying gift: anything they touch vanishes from memory. People forget, the world readjusts, and even Lyric loses whatever was erased. Hunted by unknown forces and surrounded by a society built on fragile recollections, Lyric must navigate a world where truth shifts with every transaction. Every friend gained can be forgotten, every enemy erased—but each use of their power threatens to shatter the little identity they have left. To survive, Lyric must uncover who wiped their memories… and why they were given the power to erase the world in return. But in a city founded on forgetting, remembering the truth might be the most dangerous act of all.

In every catastrophe, there is a beginning... a fracture disguised as a girl. Leah Stone spends her life trying to vanish in plain sight, yet the world keeps bending toward her. The dead reach her first; their names etch themselves into her skin hours before their bodies are found, each disappearance carving a clean incision through reality. Fifteen names. Fifteen breaches. And Leah is the axis where all of them converge. To the government, she is a hazard. To scientists, an anomaly they cannot chart. But the presence watching her through the widening cracks... that cold, ancient witness... recognizes her with unsettling precision: A door carved from human absence, A threshold that never consented to exist, the quiet fulcrum of an ending already in motion. As the pattern accelerates, the membrane between worlds thins. Shadows begin to memorize her shape. Geometry warps around her footsteps. Time reacts to her like a wound being touched. And Leah must confront the truth unfolding inside her, bone-deep and merciless: Some thresholds are not crossed. Some thresholds awaken. And when this one rises, nothing in the living world will remain in its intended place.

This was the story of the Wannabe Webnovelist Team (aka WW) who slaved over writing for five years and did not receive a single reader, only to discover that the person responsible for the final edit and publishing in the Wannabe Webnovelist writing team never actually published anything. He had only uploaded everything to the drafts. Sit back and relax (or not) as you try to figure out which character has written which paragraph or chapter. Not to mention working out how many people are actually in this team - this may fluctuate. The WW team's rules in this novel are that once a chapter has been published, no one in the team can edit it. (NB: all the characters in this work are fictional and while any resemblance to real life people are not entirely coincidental - no insults are meant. This is a completely tongue in cheek, rubbish piece of nothing. Yes, you read that right. If you find this as nonsensical as the author(s), then 'high five!' You are on the right page.) Also, has this story really been discontinued? Wait and see... because if it really has been discontinued, we hope the readers enjoy being left hanging on the cliff edge - or just hanging, cos there's nothing wrong with just hanging about. Addit Oct 2023: WW is on a long break. Who knows if they'll ever get back together or come back (in fact, I doubt they will ever return - I think they've given up). Therefore, you will receive random short stories instead. This is now truly discontinuous nonsense. Enjoy. If you don't like one story, you can now switch to a different one via the contents page. Yay.

Death by overwork? Check. Isekai’d into a glittery kingdom called Aelthryndivoryssalindria, yes, that's the name but I call it Aelthryn, because who has time for that? Double check. All I wanted was a soft life filled with pastries, naps, and no husband. But five years into my new life as Princess Elyndravyssorathielindria Sylvarindelthys—Elyn, please, God knows why the names are so difficult to pronounce—my father demands I marry. But explain to me why all the potential suitors look like they were picked up from the fucking gutter? I kid you not. one of them literally suggested teaching me to ride a horse and guess who found out he could not ride one at all and at the end of the day cried begging for his mother...me. And that's just one. There's also the fact that I don't want to even get married. So in a panic, after scaring my suitors away, I tell my father I'm in love with Zorathys Vaelkyrion. What I didn't plan for was the fact that Zorathys is real, he’s at our annual ball, and he’s calling me his lover to settle Dad’s debts. Now I’m stuck in the Underworld, managing Hell’s paperwork, babysitting demon nobles, and dodging a giant snake with a sweet tooth. Oh, and Zor? A lazy, body-pillow-hugging tease who makes my heart race. Worse, every escape portal dumps me in his bedroom, and he’s not so bad. But when I stumble into a plot to overthrow him, my soft-life dreams might cost me everything—unless I fight for the husband I never wanted. Send help please, I just wanted a soft life and not a demon husband.. --------------------- "...you can't marry my daughter," my father said to the demon king and I nodded. "...she...she's gay. Yes," he said with a nod like that was the most reasonable explanation ever. "She's into girls." I was shocked and stared at him then back at the demon king who paused. Maybe this could work after all. I nodded too, supporting my father's words. The demon king smiled then. "What good taste you have, there's a reason why we belong to each other after all. I'm into women too." What?

Xu Xin awakened the Tara Mask from Jackie Chan Adventures as his Martial Soul. Each Soul Skill could summon a Ghost Mask, and each Ghost Mask could summon Ghost Shadow Soldiers! Are there any more masks as simple yet powerful as this? Yes, there are. There are nine masks like this, simple to operate yet powerful. The nine Ghost Shadow Soldiers surrounded Tang San: "So you're the God King, huh? So you're so awesome, huh?" "So you're called Yu Xiaogang, huh? You're nothing but trash." "Is your Haotian Sect as awesome as me?!" The moment the nine masks gathered, ultimate darkness descended... I am darkness! I am the ruler!!

Transmigrated into the body of a beautiful but doomed D-list actress, Xiao Xi becomes the very cannon fodder who dies in the first three chapters. Her new life should have ended there.

Fight corrupted systems. Break every timeline. And claim a future strong enough to hold both their hearts. A future filled with passion, war, healing… and eventually, a family of their own. A story of rebirth, power, destiny—and the love that conquers it all.

SYNOPSIS: Arin Sharma was just a cyber expert, until the world ended. On May 14 2032, Earth didn’t burn. It vanished. A rift tore open the sky, and in a heartbeat, the planet was ripped from its orbit and hurled into a distant, hostile galaxy. Cities collapsed, continents shifted, and billions vanished in a single breath. They called it The Shift, an extinction event without fire or warning. A year later, Earth survives… but it doesn’t heal. Technology decays. Governments fracture. Familiar stars are gone, replaced by unfamiliar constellations and a creeping sense that something out there is watching—ancient, silent, and cold. The world has become a haunted carcass, crawling with horrors born of desperation, alien science, and human arrogance. In this fractured world, Arin drifts without purpose, plagued by guilt and silence. Until he discovers a buried secret beneath the ruins of what once was—a message encoded in alien signals. The Shift wasn’t random. It was a warning. And someone, or something, has responded. Now, Arin must navigate a planet that has become unrecognizable twisted by alien biology and infected with human ambition gone mad. Monstrous creatures roam the wastelands, mutations of man and beast, warped by invasive DNA, parasitic growths, or fusions of flesh and rogue technology. Bioengineered horrors, once created for protection, have turned predator. Humanity has splintered into warring factions, some worshipping the new gods in the stars, others performing experiments on survivors in a race to evolve… or survive. In the shadows, the true invaders stir, eldritch beings beyond comprehension, whose mere presence bends reality and time, driving minds to madness. They are not here to conquer. They are here to reclaim. Amid gore-soaked survival, betrayal, and the collapse of morality, Arin races to uncover the truth of what Earth has become—and what it is becoming. Along the way, he will face tragedy, treason, body horror, and cosmic terror, forced to decide not just how to survive… but whether humanity deserves to. Because The Shift wasn’t the end. It was the prologue. And what comes next is worse.

Chen Mo was an oppressed office worker. Trapped in the depths of life's despair, he accidentally obtained the "Reality Editor"—a power that allowed him to modify the rules of reality and unleash spiritual energy, thus initiating the global era of transcendence. Assuming the role of the mastermind behind the "Guixu Court," he manipulated events from behind the scenes using aliases like "Tianjisu" (Heavenly Mystery Elder) and "Qingpingke" (Green Duckweed Swordsman). He first tested his abilities on small tasks: taking revenge on his boss and blocking noise from his neighbor. Later, he created a miracle at Yanguigui Lake to harvest World Essence, only to draw the attention of powerful forces such as the state agency "Tianqiong Bureau" and the corporate giant "Universal Foundation." To deal with the crisis, he designed the "Machine Remains Ruins" secret realm, guiding various factions to compete for dominance. He also rescued Tong—a girl targeted by the Universal Foundation to be used as a "living amplifier." Lin Zhou, the leader of the Universal Foundation, planned to use Tong to complete a ritual to ascend to godhood and collude with extraterrestrial forces. In response, Chen Mo joined forces with Bai Ze, an information broker, and sowed discord between the Tianqiong Bureau, Shanhai Pavilion, and other factions against the Universal Foundation. This ultimately led to the energy overload and destruction of the cruise ship Prometheus. After the incident, Chen Mo discovered that the revival of spiritual energy concealed a threat from cosmic locusts. He realized that the era he had ushered in was actually an existential crisis for humanity—and his journey to save the world officially began.
