survival

“Time is knowledge, and history is knowledge, but oftentimes a mystery of knowledge and the epitome of time. And madness eats when one consumes by it. As such, time is but motion, for the moment you move, your hand creates past, present and to the future.” –Archsage Azageis– Time is not a river. It is a road… and everyone walks it without knowing where it ends. Invited— when Natalak is drawn from his world and set upon that road, he is not given a mission or a crown but free will of choosing. He instead, he is placed into Vashkeil, a land governed by systems older than morality itself. Vashkeil is a land of guilds, gods, and empires bound together by trade, magic, and fragile balance. As wars rise and ancient forces stir, and unseen mechanism turns, Natalak moves through the conflict himself moving through wars he did not begin and decisions he cannot escape. It follows a man who doesn’t seek power. Rather, he seeks understanding. This is not a tale of conquest, but of traversal. And on this travel draws many things. The Traveler’s Time is a slow-burning epic about existence, consequence, and the cost of asking “why.”. It tells a man who walks the road between law and chaos, fate and destiny, searching for meaning in a world where every answer carries a cost. The Traveller's Time and the world of Vashkeil are inspired and influence by classic CRPGs such as Baldur's Gate I & II, Neverwinter Nights, Icewind Dale, and other classic role-playing games, as well as the atmosphere and lore-driven storytelling of The Elder Scrolls.

In a far-future world without Artificial Intelligence, humanity believes the age of artificial threats has ended. They were wrong.

Jani is the reluctant avatar of hunting, restricted by an inhuman, blithely cruel concept called Hunt, which makes him track down and kill fellow superpowered "avatars" on a recurring deadline. Refuse, and he dies instead. Every hunt costs him a piece of himself, be it his morals, his relationships or even his grip on reality's frayed edges. The story follows Jani through one devastating hunt after another, as the people he cares for are drawn into the crossfire. Some are targets, some are collateral, some are simply worn down by his compromises and empty promises. Each battle closes a door only for Hunt to open another, more painful one, testing how much of himself Jani is willing to lose in exchange for survival. Everyone else in Jani's life may come and go. Hunt never will.

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...)

In Animalopolis, the thief The Shadow Paw steals the Golden Citizen Trophy. Rookies Amber Cat and Joseph Basset-Hound win a poker bet against Commander Tiger Stripes, forcing him into a viral naked swim that gets him fired. The thief then steals the Magnus Tapestry from mountain tunnels and the Circus Acrobat Statue from Chief Onca’s blockade—the heists peak at the Aquarium Race, where the thief extracts a Golden Treasure Chest using decoys. Amber audits the tapes, unmasks the trick, and tracks the thief's van to the Mountain District. The next morning, Amber and Joseph investigate the looted Giggle Estate. They find a hidden fireplace room where an automated suit of armor attacks, but Amber jams its gears. They present the files to Chief Onca, who frees the innocent decoys, making the story front-page news and the subject of Gisselle Gazelle's live report. Meanwhile, Tiger undergoes therapy with Dr. Surly the koala, who orders him to exercise and get a job. Tiger complies, working at The Roaring Diner, where the rookies warmly greet him. Concurrently, the reformed Fang Syndicate presents hacking data to Chief Onca. However, Treyvon Grizzly captures them and reveals he is the Shadow Paw. Forcing them to help swap Jude Evelyn's PDA at a stadium fashion show, the crew steals a $50,000,000 blue diamond gold necklace. Back at the hideout, Treyvon betrays the syndicate, trapping Tom, Raven, Eve, Bobby, and Victor in golden ceiling chains to frame them for every heist.

Frost had never expected much from life. Although he constantly strived to be brilliant, that was more a result of his unwillingness to allow the great potential he had been born with to go to waste. One could even say he possessed a brilliant mind, having managed to earn a place at a respectable college through nothing but his own effort. His most recent problem was his inability to control his growing sexual urges, and while he blamed his eternal virgin status, as well as the sudden explosive increase in his testosterone levels, he would soon discover that nothing was ever as simple as it seemed. Life continued as usual until the illusion known as the Matrix came crashing down, bringing with it a new world order where the strong ruled and the weak perished. Beyond the illusion lay a far greater universe, one where the laws of nature were governed by runes, mysterious structures woven into the foundation of existence itself. Fire, life, space, gravity, and even the soul were all bound by these ancient edicts. For those who awakened to them, runes were also a source of unimaginable power, allowing ordinary people to surpass the limits of humanity and gradually take control of the laws that once governed them. However, Earth had not been cut off from the rest of existence for no reason. As humanity struggles to survive its rude awakening, hidden powers begin pulling strings from the shadows, and Earth's natives soon realize that the collapse of the Matrix was not an accident. https://discord.gg/dreamlesswanderer https://ko-fi.com/dreamlesswandererr Additional Tags #Dark #Mystery #Cerebral #Apocalypse #Interstellar #PowerProgression #Academy #Sexualcontent #Apocalypse #AdvancedTechnology

A thousand years ago, the gods vanished and their power splintered into fragments called Mysteries. The Heroic Age ended in fire and blood, leaving behind an Iron Age of corruption, war, and decay. On the border of the Imperium Arkanis, a cursed youth named Ithan awakens a forgotten flame. Banished from his village and branded as a blasphemer, he takes up the life of a mercenary — only to discover his fire is the same divine gift Prometheus once gave mankind. As his power grows, allies fear him, enemies hunt him, and whispers spread a new name across the Iron Marches: the Ashborn. But Ithan's fate is only one thread in a world unraveling. Across the seas, the rising empire of Nova Roma conquers with legions powered by Aether, led by an immortal emperor who once slew gods. In the heart of Arkanis, Princess Diana sees the coming storm and struggles to unite fractured nations before it is too late. And from the ashes of a fallen sea-kingdom, Theseus of Pelagion carries a warning: Rome has returned, and the age of Mysteries may be ending. Steel will clash, empires will burn, and the fire of rebellion will rise again.

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.

The Sword of Mountains and Rivers is an epic traditional martial-arts novel set in the Ming dynasty, where the martial world, old sect feuds, and hidden struggles of court and country converge. After a disastrous scheme sends the young Fang Yingjie of Fang Stronghold over a cliff and into disappearance, he is swept into a vast and deadly web spanning the Mount Hua Sect, Fang Stronghold, the Four Sacred Gates, the Crimson Flame Palace, and forces within the imperial court. What begins as a single misfortune soon opens onto a far greater mystery—one bound up with his father’s fate, his own origins, and a world already splintering beneath the weight of old grudges and buried designs. Frail and untested at the outset, Fang Yingjie is driven through exile, false accusation, captivity, hardship, training, and vengeance. In a world of bloodshed, loyalty, betrayal, and broken oaths, he must carve his way toward the truth, toward his own road in martial arts, and toward the strength to endure what fate has left him. Sweeping in scope yet intimate in its emotional force, the novel blends vendetta, political intrigue, hidden lineages, and the making of a hero. It tells of how a boy who begins with nothing but a broken life and a solitary body rises at last as the Golden-Armored Dragon, bringing light once more to the mountains and rivers. With its rich ensemble cast, austere moral grandeur, and a world shaped as much by human bonds as by the collapse of old alliances, The Sword of Mountains and Rivers offers both the fierce exhilaration of the martial world and the tragic recoil of destiny.

Wondered if a cryptomining app would make you a Superhero..or villain? Damen Dark is an unfortunate orphan trapped in a cruel household, forced to endure the abuse of his uncle, his family, and a world that seems determined to break him. One ordinary day, he receives a mysterious link on his phone advertising a new app—DemCoin, a cryptocurrency mining program. Damen knows it’s probably a scam. But curiosity gets the better of him. At first, the app seems harmless. It “mines” coins by targeting living beings—stray animals… and people. With little expectation, Damen uses it as a private outlet for his bottled-up anger, siphoning coins from those who torment him: his family, his classmates, the bullies who rule the streets. It feels like justice. It feels good. But DemCoin is far more than a mining app. As Damen accumulates enough coins, hidden features unlock—features that allow him to target individuals and steal their powers. What begins as survival turns into temptation, and temptation into transformation. With every stolen ability, Damen grows stronger… and more dangerous. Now faced with unimaginable power, Damen must choose who he will become. Will he take revenge on a world that never showed him mercy, or rise as a hero to protect it? The truth lies somewhere in between. In a cruel twist of fate, Damen soon realizes the irony of power: the stronger he becomes, the greater the threats that hunt him. And worse still, DemCoin is not just a tool—it is a force, subtly guiding his path. Whether he knows it or not, the app isn’t shaping him into a savior. It is forging a supervillain. And Damen Dark may have no choice but to become exactly that.

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 just girls, forced to challenge massive alien warriors and millennia-old Psions all for a chance at appeasing Yrix, who will flay them alive if they fail. The girls aren't ready. 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. Expect lots of girl drama, MCs fighting each other, slow-burn angsty romance, and a bit of Psionic mind-smut.

Lin Yunfeng screwed up. Big time. One mistake. That’s all it was. A stupid, drunken mistake. So why the hell was Ren Muchen chasing him down a creepy-ass abandoned hallway like a maniac?! "You slept with me and ran? Fine! Let’s see how long you last!" Uh, yeah. No thanks. Yunfeng ran faster, heart pounding—until he skidded to a stop. Right in front of a half-rotten zombie. "Oh, come on!" Before he could even process his impending doom, the thing lunged. His life flashed before his eyes. Then—WHACK. A massive axe took the zombie’s head clean off. And just like that, Muchen was grabbing his collar, hauling him up like a ragdoll. "You’re not dying," Muchen said, looking way too smug for someone who just saved his life. "Not today. Not anytime soon." Yunfeng barely got his breath back before Muchen dropped the biggest bomb ever. "Because we’re having a baby." Wait. What?! Yunfeng clutched his stomach. "H-How do you know?!" "You KNEW?!" Muchen shook him like a damn rattle. "And you still ran? Take responsibility, you bastard! We made a life!" Well. Shit. There was officially no running from this.
