survival

In a universe where power costs pieces of your soul, Eric Heisenberg awakens reborn with fragments of a past life spent climbing to the top, only to die beneath its crushing weight. He knows exactly where this road leads. Absolute power demands absolute selfishness. So he wears masks, becomes whoever the moment requires, and calls it survival. But the deeper he goes, the less certain he is that anyone is left underneath. Thirty Pathways. Thirty royal families. A world teetering on the edge of the Cataclysmic Era, calm on the surface, yet already shifting violently beneath. Eric climbs anyway through betrayal, forgotten promises, and the slow erosion of everything that once made him human, chasing a dream he can no longer clearly remember. Will he carry the world again? Or will he finally choose himself… and break fate in the process?

Died in the cold. Starved. Betrayed. Devoured by the very people he once trusted. In a world where humanity collapsed into chaos, kindness was a weakness-and he paid the price for it. But fate gave him something impossible. A second chance. He awakens 30 days before the apocalypse. This time, he knows what's coming: The freezing world. The rise of enhanced humans. The fall of civilization. And the moment the people closest to him chose survival... over him. But Jae-Min is no longer the same man. Cold. Calculated. Unforgiving. Armed with knowledge of the future, a growing spatial power, and unmatched precision as a sniper who never misses, he begins to prepare-not just to survive... But to dominate. As factions rise, monsters emerge, and the world descends into war, Jae-Min moves from the shadows-one step ahead, one bullet at a time. This time, he won't be the one abandoned. This time... he chooses who lives. Warning: This novel contains graphic violence, gore, explicit sexual content, psychological trauma, and mature themes intended for adult readers only.

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.

Kamishiro Hagoromo won the reincarnation lottery: a blessed face, a genius mind, and a killer Lightning Release. His dream? A peaceful, easy life in a romantic comedy. The universe had other plans. It dropped him into the Third Shinobi War and assigned him to its most volatile, forbidden asset: Uzumaki Kushina, the Red-Hot Habanero and Konoha's living secret weapon. Now, trapped between a teacher who treats him as her personal entertainment and a battlefield that chews up prodigies for breakfast, Hagoromo must use every cheat he knows. His goal isn't to become Hokage, or a legend. It’s to make it to the front lines alive. The greatest threat to his mission, however, isn't the enemy—it's the teacher who's supposed to prepare him for it.

Arthur unexpectedly transmigrates into the Harry Potter world, gaining the Game Life System, which allows him to enter game worlds and, by completing achievements, gain chances to manifest items from those games into reality. As a passionate gamer, he should have been thrilled—until he realizes the games he’s pulled into are all the mind-breaking kind, like Elden Ring. Fortunately, as a member of the Feng Ling Yue Ying sect, he enjoys the protection of his sect and always finds ways to lower the difficulty of even the hardest games. And so, in the Harry Potter world, Arthur begins a carefree life of attending school, playing games, and raising a certain little witch. Years later, when he looks at Hermione—now the Minister of Magic, who has defeated both the Dark Lord and his enemies—Arthur can’t help but sigh. In the end, raising-sim games really are the most fun.

After awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Soren understands one truth: A world built on lies cannot be changed from within. So he chooses the path of rebellion. Danzo will fall. Hiruzen will follow. And anyone who stands between him and his vision will be erased. No loyalty. No hesitation. Only power. The Uchiha will not obey the world— they will shape it. Across nations, timelines, and realities, one rule never changes: Only the strong decide destiny.

Transmigrated into the Uchiha Clan, Kai was completely dumbfounded! Relying on the so-called “ancient wisdom” of his past life, after becoming Uchiha Kai, he managed to scrape by through the great Dao of “lying low.” Until, Konoha Year 50. The Third Great Ninja War was raging everywhere, and as a fifth-year student of the Academy… he was gloriously drafted as a ninja (read: cannon fodder)! He was stunned. That sly old fox Sarutobi Hiruzen… wouldn’t even let him graduate in peace? Uchiha Kai: “…” He had a massive headache! Outside, there was pressure from the Third Hokage targeting him, and Danzo sharpening his knives in the shadows. Inside the clan, traitors were everywhere. There was the utterly worthless Uchiha Shisui. There was the “broad-minded,” self-sacrificing Uchiha Itachi who loved Konoha so much he’d slaughter his whole clan. And of course, Uchiha Obito, who just wanted to destroy the world over Rin. Damn it! His mentality was collapsing! 【Ding! Congratulations, host, on comprehending the true essence of life!】 【…】

He died once. He won’t die again. Ashan awakens in a cave filled with starving children—no past, no identity, only fragments of sin and one undeniable truth: Someone had to die for him to exist. Then the trials begin. Face your sins. Survive the hunt. Earn your place—or become food for those who do. The Order calls it Sadhana—a path to power forged through suffering. Ashan sees it for what it is: A system. A harvest. Every Sadhaka is a resource. Every bond is temporary. And power is carved from the bodies of the dead.

As he flees across Europe, he realizes he isn't the only "User" being groomed by an extradimensional entity to become something far worse than a mere killer.

Mon\Thu - 2 new chapters. Reality is not as stable as it seems. There are moments—brief, almost impossible to notice—when something shifts. A hallway feels longer than before. A sound arrives too late. A memory no longer fits where it should. Most people ignore these fractures in reality. Juson cannot. After a series of disturbing incidents begin to follow him, buried memories slowly resurface—fragments of a past he cannot fully remember, tied to a hidden existence surrounding entities known as Omizans. As strange blue particles begin appearing around him and reality itself starts to distort, Juson is drawn toward a truth connected not only to his forgotten past… but to his own son, Herik. The deeper he searches, the more unstable the world around him becomes. And as the boundary between dimensions begins to tear apart, one question continues to haunt him— Were these memories taken from him… or did he choose to bury them himself?

Dungeons don’t care about hope. Or fear. They exist to kill—Kin just happens to be better at it. He’s not a hero, not some wide-eyed fool chasing treasure. He’s a Raider, and the deep is his proving ground. Down there, where the stone breathes and the walls remember, he thrives—faster, sharper, deadlier than anything that crosses his path. But the dungeon is changing. Paths warp. Patterns break. And the monsters? They don’t charge—they coordinate. They flank. They wait. It’s not instinct. It’s strategy. Something down there knows him. And it wants a war. Good. So does he.

One misstep, and Valerius wakes up in the universe of Honkai: Star Rail. No cheats. No broken bloodlines. Just a mysterious Game Arena System with one mission: “Bring entertainment to the masses.” …What kind of nonsense is that?! But Valerius isn’t panicking. Not at all. “You all go ahead and fight your battles. I just provide the battlegrounds... and quietly profit behind the scenes.” And thus begins the era of Interdimensional PvP. Where warriors from Teyvat and the Express are dragged into game after game— Each more absurd than the last. Mafia Night: “Herta, clues are only 3 points each. Final offer—take it or leave it.” Zombie Survival Mode: “Keqing, this is called an RPG. One shot and even the Tyrant will cry for his mom.” Monopoly Gone Wrong: “Ningguang, 1 point per remote-control dice. Asta already bought three~” The result? Two worlds. Total chaos. Kaeya: “Two points for The World! Jing Yuan, what’ve you got?” Jing Yuan: “Hmph… Tail, do your thing.” Svarog: “No evil survives while I stand.” Lord of Qlipoth: “Step away from Clara.” Clara: “Berserker~~!” Sparkle: “Fight! Fiiight! MOAR CHAOS!” Silver Wolf: “Did I wake up in the wrong patch version or what...?” Multiverse war? Check. System hijinks? You bet. Profit-hungry MC playing 4D chess while everyone else fights? Absolutely. When Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail collide in a reality-bending game arena, only one rule remains: Don’t trust the MC. He’s the real final boss.

A family vacation is the most anticipated moment for any household. But for the Sudrath family, that getaway turned into a complete catastrophe. It started out pleasant enough. But the end? The entire family was thrust into an unfamiliar world—a realm where modern knowledge is no longer enough, where nobles rule with iron fists and commoners are reduced to slaves. Here, aura and magic are the sole currencies for survival. Yet, this family is different. They are reincarnated into nobility—as an exiled ducal house. A Duke? Isn't that the highest rank? Yes, the title is prestigious. But the glory days of House Sudrath are long gone. Their lands are frozen, their people are impoverished, and mounting debts loom right before their eyes. However, this family refuses to back down. They begin to engineer technologies that this world has never seen before. They transform a desolate, banished fief into the epicenter of modern civilization—introducing horseless carriages, factories running without magic, and weapons that do not rely on mana. But history once recorded something dark. The technology they are resurrecting... is known as Demonic Knowledge. And the world will not sit idly by. ————————————————— If you enjoy this story, your support through Power Stones, Golden Tickets, and reviews helps the novel grow and reach more readers.
