survival

In a world where the sun pales and the Eternal Winter advances like a hungry shadow, an ancient legend is unearthed from the frozen rocks. Khulag, the gray-furred alpha ape, finds in the depths of the sea a two-headed fish that not only speaks but whispers languages that do not yet exist. Forever marked, she abandons her troop and carves into a headstone a warning that time has nearly erased. Years later, the imposing Commander Shal’falah, leader of the fearsome Silver-Claw Guardians — silver felines born to hunt and burn —, reads the words on the stone and makes a decision that shakes centuries of tradition: to stop hunting the gray apes and protect the “blood of fire” that may be the last hope against the cold that devours the world. Between fractured loyalties and instincts screaming for flesh, the Silver-Claw clan begins to split. Winter does not wait… and the prophecy is already awake.

You think you can understand Chaos? Foolish! Chaos isn't merely disorder; it is the ultimate paradox - Life and death, creation and destruction, the beginning and the end. In a hyper-advanced future built on quantum technology, humanity is awakened by the same energy tearing the universe apart. Entities from a higher dimension invade, forcing humans to the brink of extinction. In the shadows of this broken world, Missio Augustus wanders aimlessly like a lost soul, fighting his own inner darkness. As the Lieutenant General of the Black ops division, he goes on a mission to capture an international kingpin but experiences his life-long trauma once again. While falling into depression, he watches as an ancient church brings mayhem upon humanity... This is a relaunch of my original work.

An ancient curse from Japan’s ancient times had afflicted one crime boss named Sora Hashimoto, a rich-style gangster dressed in black formal clothes with a group of SWAT-style gangsters called the Black Feathers. Because of it, they were infected by a curse-afflicted zombie virus that forced them not only kidnap and kill people but also drink their blood. No one knows how to stop this curse, as records of techniques to do so were now lost forever. However, not all hope is lost because one young Japanese-Cambodian man named Rathanak Murakami, who was from Yokohama, will help the gang curb their bloody urges by taking the suffering himself so that no one else will need to suffer under them. This was possible because Rathanak, a son of businesspeople working in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, had a spirit of immortality when he was 1o years old. But this decision would spring a friendship between Rathanak and Sora and his gang, and even, an opportunity to stop this curse from causing more damage, death, and destruction to everyone and society, as well as stopping a centuries-old demon mage that was responsible for the curse.

[Demonic Path Cultivation + Cold-Blooded + Ruthless + Eerie Immortal Path] [Male protagonist is a regular man, has women but no main female lead.] Xu Sanyan, born as a horse bandit, understands the harsh truth that human life is as insignificant as grass. Kill, or be killed. To survive, he cuts off his compassion, unleashing his darkest self. For a single cultivation technique, he slaughtered a city and wiped out villages. For a spell manual, he cut down those he once cherished. From the "Blood Demon Corpse Refining Technique" to the "Soul-Condensing Ghost Art," his cold blade drips with countless lives. In a world like this, he knows reliance on others is futile. Xu Sanyan’s only desire is to wield his blade and cultivate his inner strength to claim the celestial fruits beyond the Nine Heavens. Translator's Note: if you think this story might be similar to Korean "Demon Sect" stories then be warned because the themes explored in this novel maybe too graphic and inappropriate for certain audiences. Although I have seen reviews on my previous novel (RDC) stating that it wasn't as demonic as the synopsis made it out to be. But since I am bringing this to you, I feel this is my responsibility to put in this disclaimer. Still in the beginning phases of translation, so I don't know how true the synopsis is to the story. If you do find it to your tastes don't forget to leave a 5-star review. Read ahead on Pa.treon@CindelTL

Synopsis of "Veil of Secrets" In a sprawling metropolis shrouded in ambition and deception, investigative journalist Alex Hayes is on a relentless quest for truth. When a series of mysterious disappearances begins to plague the city, Alex sees an opportunity to expose the dark underbelly of the elite—people who will stop at nothing to protect their secrets. Haunted by a personal tragedy linked to one of the missing, Alex is driven not just by a professional duty but by a deep-seated desire for justice. Teaming up with Maya Chen a passionate activist advocating for the victims and Sarah Hayes who is a skilled hacker with a talent for navigating the shadows of the digital world, Alex plunges into the depths of a hidden society where privilege meets peril. Their investigation reveals a web of corruption that extends to the city’s most powerful figures, including Marco Rossi, the charismatic leader of the elite society, whose charm masks a ruthless ambition. As Alex unravels the tangled threads connecting the disappearances, they encounter Ethan Blake, a mysterious informant with a foot in both worlds—the elite and the marginalized. With his insider knowledge and complicated past, Ethan offers crucial information but harbors secrets of his own. Together, they must navigate a treacherous landscape where trust is a luxury and every revelation could be a deadly game-changer. As the stakes rise and danger lurks at every turn, Alex’s relentless pursuit of the truth puts them at odds with the very forces they seek to expose. Each chapter unfolds a new layer of betrayal, ambition, and moral ambiguity, leading to a final confrontation that will challenge everything Alex believes about justice, loyalty, and the price of uncovering the truth. "Veil of Secrets" is a gripping tale of resilience and revelation, exploring the lengths people will go to protect their secrets—and the devastating consequences of uncovering them.

He died twice. The first time, the world watched and called it justice. The second time, something inside him refused to stay whole. Five souls. Five worlds. Five lives that don't know each other exist. Tiān Míng Xīn grows up inside a civilization. The outside world doesn't know exists, born from two bloodlines that were never supposed to meet, raised by a love too large for politics to contain, and surrounded by enemies wearing friendly faces. He doesn't know what he is. Nobody does. But somewhere in the fabric of five separate lives, something ancient and patient is waking up. And when it finishes, reality will need a new author.

In a world stitched together by invisible divinities and fractured truths, reality is not governed by nature alone—but by the will of False Gods embedded into the very architecture of civilization. Cities rise not simply through human ambition, but through ancient anchors that hold them in place, each one quietly sustained by powers few understand and fewer dare to question. At the heart of this fragile order is Yukinae Yamato, a young courier from the Gigantis Islands whose life is defined by speed, survival, and a burden she never asked for: protecting her closest companion, Mira, who lies trapped in an unresponsive magical coma. What begins as a struggle for care and stability quickly spirals into something far larger when Yukinae is pulled into a hidden network of truths buried beneath the world’s most advanced cities—places where reality itself begins to behave like a memory that can be rewritten. As she travels between shifting urban sanctuaries such as Veyrune—an unsettling metropolis that remembers dreams more clearly than its citizens do—Yukinae discovers that the False Gods anchoring these cities are not distant deities, but constructed forces tied to an ancient cosmic conflict. At the center of it all lies Xenithar, an unsealed primordial god whose existence once defied the system that now governs humanity’s survival. His past, and the war that tried to erase him, begin to echo forward into the present in ways no one can contain. What follows is a slow unraveling of order: alliances that bend under unseen pressure, cities that begin to awaken to their own artificial nature, and a growing realization that Mira’s condition may not be an accident—but a key. As Yukinae moves deeper into this collapsing framework, she is forced to confront a terrifying possibility: the world she is trying to protect may be built on a lie stable only as long as no one asks what holds it together. Blending high-speed urban fantasy with mythic sci-fi scale, this is a story of bonds under pressure, forgotten divinity, and a girl who refuses to stop moving—even when the world itself starts to fall apart around her.

"I'm a regressor" Adriel said to his brother after years of contemplation the heavy weight now lifting off his shoulders. He looked at his brother in response he was expecting more of a shock expression instead of a 'Are you done?' Look but this is alright too. "No shit" Racine replied before sipping his drink once more, "Look I don't know how your harem and your goons don't know. Don't care but you didn't exactly hide it well"

Falsely accused of a heinous crime that turned his city, his peers, and even his own blood against him, Kaelen became a pariah overnight. For months, he endured a living hell of vitriol and isolation, waiting for a truth that never seemed to come. By the time the evidence was found and the world realized its mistake, the damage was absolute. As his family raced toward the city bridge to beg for his forgiveness, Kaelen chose a different path. He didn't want their apologies; he wanted the silence. He jumped, leaving the screams of a regretful world behind him. But the end was only a beginning. Instead of the void, Kaelen is met by the cold, mocking chime of a voice that cares nothing for innocence or guilt.

They say that 90 percent of the world's oceans have been unexplored, due to just how much floor there is to cover. Imagine a world where, instead of deep trenches of water, our oceans were filled with forests—endless forests—where the further you go, the stranger, and larger the creatures become. The air growing thicker, and heavier, with the stinging sharpness of ozone; trees that stretch into the stratosphere, or bottomless muddy quagmires that are so deep that the bodies claimed can never be discovered; deer the size of whales, or bigger still, with an anomalous number of legs; the oppressive daytime darkness, never ending, due to the boundless appetite of the trees. Who knows what untold methods of ravenous mutilation might be discovered in the great beyond; or what unfathomable treasures lurk just beyond the shadow's edge. We find ourselves marooned in little islands of flat plain in the midst of miles and endless miles of oppressive wooded wilderness. Do not let the sunlight fool you. There is nothing keeping the terrors of the depths from venturing into the light.

In a world where rank determines your worth, Adrian Vale awakened at the very bottom. F-Rank. In a single ceremony, he lost his fiancée, his status, and his freedom. Sold under the Civil Utility Act, he became a transferable asset—property in a society that worships strength. Then an S-Rank elf noblewoman purchased him. Not for love. For political marriage. Bound to the most powerful woman in the capital, Adrian is expected to remain silent, obedient, and insignificant. But the moment their hands touched, something awakened inside him—something the World Core never measured. In a society built on absolute hierarchy, he may have discovered the one flaw in the system. And the higher her rank… The stronger he becomes.

Opening her eyes, she becomes the eldest daughter of the Great General of Liuyin Kingdom. She is the modern girl that transmigrated into a world that only respects the strong. Bullied by her cousins... Broken engagement... She did not care about all of that. Her motto is inspired by one of her favourite anime, Hyouka: "If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I have to do it, I'll make it quick." "You already come into this Lord's hug. Don't you dare to run?" A Lord threatens her. "Do you think I'm scared of you? You can keep dreaming." She spoke back. She just wants to have a peaceful life, however, can she has it? Author Note: - The cover image for this novel credit goes to its creator.

Most people who get isekai'd are chosen by fate. Ryan Cole just downloaded a pirated copy of Resident Evil because he couldn't afford the real thing, and got dragged straight into hell. A crumbling mansion. Zombies. Monsters. Viruses that turn people inside out. Everything played out exactly like the game. Except the danger was real, the pain was real, and dying meant dying for good. Lucky for him, the pirated copy came with a hidden cheat engine. Armed with nothing but a bootleg modifier and way too many hours of game knowledge, Ryan carved out a path through Umbrella's nightmare, one cheat unlock at a time. PSA: Pirated games can seriously kill you.

Ender traveled to the world of Swallowed Star. If possible, he would have loved to cling to the protagonist Luo Feng’s leg, but all he knew was that his planet belonged to the Molten Rock Empire—he knew nothing else. Fortunately, he possessed an extraordinary comprehension of the innate laws and 32 times the initial gene level as his starting advantage. This allowed him to rise from an ordinary cultivation planet within the Molten Rock Empire to the stage of the Universe Pinnacle Genius Battle. At that point, he discovered that this version of Swallowed Star was somewhat different from what he remembered— “What? Humans have 1,004 universe countries?!” “What? The strongest participant in this Universe Pinnacle Genius Battle is Kedi?!” Only then did Ender realize that he had traveled too far back in time—even Luo Feng’s future teacher, King Zhenyan, had not yet been born. Traveled too far? It didn’t matter. Ender claimed that he possessed a legacy—one even stronger than Luo Feng’s—and that in the future, he would stand above the God King! Note: The protagonist has both talent and inheritance, and the author has only read Swallowed Star! Only read Swallowed Star! Only read Swallowed Star! (Important things should be said three times.) The protagonist will be upgraded in Chaos City, a clone will appear later, and the protagonist should not be treated as a typical transmigrator. (Foreword: Please do not consider the protagonist a normal Transmigrator, as normal Transmigrators do not lose their memories...)
