survival

Nanajūhachi Asuka, a soul from the 78th district of Rukongai, is cast into the world of Demon Slayer as a disposable experiment. Lacking a "system" or "cheat-codes," he relies solely on his raw Reiryoku (spiritual power) and the survival instincts of a street dog. Asuka is taken in by Tetsushin Arisaki, mastering Wind Breathing alongside his peer, Suzune. This peace is shattered when Lower Rank Two, Rokuro, massacres their home. Master Arisaki sacrifices himself, triggering the awakening of Asuka’s unique ability: Nugata—the power to devour demon essence and convert it into spiritual energy. Driven by cold vengeance, Asuka joins the Demon Slayer Corps. His presence at Mount Natagumo changes the tide, as his "serrated" strikes—infused with spiritual pressure—permanently stall demon regeneration. This "new variable" catches the attention of Muzan Kibutsuji, who begins purging the Lower Ranks to prepare for this emerging threat. Through training at the Butterfly Estate and sparring with the Mist Hashira, Muichiro Tokito, Asuka realizes a vital truth: traditional Wind Breathing is a "shoe that doesn't fit" his spiritual nature. He begins the journey to transcend established styles, seeking to forge an Original Breath that bridges the gap between a Soul Society ghost and a mortal swordsman.

The Semonios are creatures who lived in an alternate dimension a realm where no human could enter. Ancient beings who survived by feasting on the essence of humans, but human flesh was their greatest delicacy,a craving that had made mankind both their prey and their main source of sustenance. Hidden beyond the boundaries of the human world, and cursed to be separated from mankind,they had built a civilization of their own. A continent ruled by ancient laws, powerful bloodlines,and a hunger that had endured for centuries. To most humans,within the walls they were nothing more than creatures of myth but to the Semonios,humanity was the source of life itself. A prophecy about Emperor's seed suddenly resurfaces in words bearing death's cold prangs. One that puts him in a dilemma of having to choose between his own son and his people. Although born of parents both fullbreeds,Ramses was a half breed,an usual being fated to destroy the very people he loved. Despite being born with purity unlike the rest of his kind,his eerie existence cloaked a prophecy of doomsday. His birth was prevented yet was he begotten,with a fate he fought to escape from. He's the origin,the end an agent of both destruction and peace. ******************** ***************** Ariane turned abruptly to leave but Ramses blocked her way. Before she could utter another word she found herself in his arms,his hand tightly wrapped around her waist She was so close that she could hear his heartbeat And with those grey eyes peering deeply into hers he whispered, "Despite you being human,not even destiny nor Fate can take you away from me".... Note: This book is in three parts. Part one:In a continent bathed in lies the events occurring when Ramses was a child,an unusual being who is neither Semonio or human,including the Emperor's investigations in the murder of his wife. Part two:Something different...years had passed with changing times,read to discover... Part three: The present day (modern times).

Even if you’ve never watched The Walking Dead, you can still enjoy this story! 【Realistic Apocalypse + The Walking Dead Setting + Independent Protagonist】 【Base Building + Survival + Adventure | 】 After transmigrating into the world of The Walking Dead, she becomes the younger sister of Leah from the Reapers—someone who was supposed to die before even appearing in the story. Calista seems to have drawn the worst possible script… a doomed background character. But that’s fine. The situation is still salvageable. The first thing she does after waking up? Cling to the Reapers and secure their protection. While Rick’s group is still struggling with questions of morality and humanity, Calista is already rebuilding order through sheer force. The Governor dares to provoke her? Bombard him. The Whisperers? Erase them. The Commonwealth and CRM? Move aside. Rick stares at his shabby camp in confusion. “Why is everyone running to her side?” Negan flicks the blood off Lucille as the gates of Rock Fortress slowly open behind him. “Damn… because following her means you actually thrive.” Starting with the Reapers as her foundation, Calista rises from a winery stronghold to become a ruler of the apocalypse. From the United States… all the way to Europe. The original plot? Just a reference. From today onward, my territory will define the order of the new world. 【The protagonist is not a saint. She won’t follow or assist Rick’s group blindly. Their paths will cross, but she will build her own empire.】 (No system. Just the realistic rise of an ordinary person in the apocalypse.)

Aelon got infected with the nightmare spell at thirteen years old. As a frail outskirts rat, with an underdeveloped body and no prior combat training he gets sent into his first nightmare. It was a colosseum. He had to fight to the death. When Aelon checked his runes, he discovered he had a sacred aspect. But to use it, he had to survive his first nightmare first. This is an Alternate Universe with two new OC's. Lyra had gained a divine aspect. Normally one would rejoice, but her flaw took all the joy away. It changed her. She no longer felt guilt, compassion or anything that would make her share emotion with other people. In her first nightmare she got a weird inheritance. The lineage of the heart god. A/N: Both OC's are made to be together in a relationship, so there will be some emphasis on romance. The MC stays Aelon though, although we will get a few POV chapters from other characters like Nephis, Sunny, or Lyra

In the realm of tower defense and wave offense RPG, I coded a game with an unbeaten AI that adapted quickly to the player's play style just to horrify them and make my game popular but... "Who the hell buffed the patch after I died?!" Little did I know I'd get isekai'd into the supposed game and even become a character that was destined to die... and until death finds me I remain yours sincerely, Baron Quinn Kallstein.

Broke, stubborn, and desperate to prove her independence, Lilith stumbles into Granny’s Place: a quaint little shop with charm, curiosity… and secrets no ordinary job description could ever prepare her for. What starts as a step toward survival becomes a plunge into the unknown—a world filled with odd customers, mystical rules, and a creeping sense that Lilith didn’t find this place by accident. She was chosen. In a story that blurs the line between magical realism and fantasy, follow Lilith as she navigates this strange employment, questions what’s real, and discovers that sometimes the path to independence leads straight into the weird and wonderful.

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.

Survival was the first thing Lorelei had learned. Her power had marked her from birth, a curse that should have left her abandoned — yet someone still took her in, raised her, cared for her. She knew it couldn't last, knew something would shatter the fragile peace, but she clung to that faint hope anyway: that this happiness would stretch on forever. It didn't. Just as she had with her mother, her own hands had killed him. And in the wreckage of her grief, a figure emerged — the only answer to her questions, the only guide through the bloody path she walked carrying along the sorrow of those she killed.

Now, being sent to a universe where orphans run a paramilitary company wouldn't be my first choice if I were to be reincarnated. That's especially true when I found out this universe isn't as cut and dry as I thought it was. Still, this wouldn't stop me from doing what I want. After all, what's the point of a second life if one doesn't use it to the fullest? ( Also posting on other sites like Royal Road.)

Ever wondered how Kevin Barnes, once known for being the most infamous kid in Playcare, became best friends/romantic partners with Michelle Mercia? This story follows their journey reuniting with one another in the place they call Hell, and how their bond with one another became this strong.

Her name means daughter of the shadow, but her father vowed that no one would steal her joy. Raised in secret among the whispers of a forgotten culture, Velaris grows up hearing the old saying that abundance never leaves a home that has a daughter. As she grows, she discovers that the Rameirians fear something about girls like her, and that the history of her people is not entirely lost. It is hidden in songs, in names, and in a language the empire could never fully erase. When injustice takes everything she loves, Velaris must choose between a quiet life of survival and the dangerous road toward freedom. With only a handful of allies, a fragile flame of hope and a power she doesn't yet understand, she sets out to unite a broken people and challenge the tyrants who stole their kingdom. But a revolution will cost her more than courage. To free her country, Velaris must face the shadow that gave her her name.

In the distant future, four girls are cursed with Psionic potential, giving them brilliant and terrifying powers. They each led their own lives, up until the Arch-Flayer Yrix kidnapped them and brought them to the Aerie to be taught the Psionic arts. There's a problem.

They are burdened by their past and what Yrix has taken from them. And they hate each other. Can they find love and family? Or will they be ground into dust by the alien Consortium? Witness Ivy, Lila, Sonera, and Lunae's journey as they fall in love, fight to survive, and stand up against the horrors of the universe.

Some people don't die. They're erased. Yuki Ayano's parents were hospitalized and trapped in a coma from years of neglect. The worst part? She knew it was all her fault.  Stuck alone in her house that reeked of garbage, the only company she had left were her dolls that kept her from going insane.  Desperate to solve her mental issues, her teacher suggested she see a therapist named Sasaki Shin. He opened his clinic before sunrise and closed it before most people could even wake up, but what really caught Yuki's attention was the two strands of hair hanging over his forehead, making him look like the devil. During the therapy session Sasaki casually asked if she believed in the supernatural, like demons or cursed spirits. Of course, Yuki didn't believe in them. She had no reason to. Not until the next day, when she saw her classmate Igarashi Kenji vanish right in front of her eyes, with nothing left behind but his clothes on the pavement. The next morning, Yuki walked into class fully expecting someone to ask where Igarashi was. Instead, attendance was called and his name never came up, as if it had been erased the same way he was. Thus, Yuki Ayano's life had changed forever, as she realized she was the only person left who remembered he had ever existed.
