survival

Katō Mitsuko was born carrying the blood of both Muzan Kibutsuji and Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the first existence in this world who is truly half-human, half-demon. Yet this miraculous birth brought only endless torment. Humans reject Kaede. Demons despise Kaede. With no place among either side, Katō Mitsuko chooses a solitary path that belongs to neither race. Walking the narrow crack between humanity and demonkind, Mitsuko searches for those wretched souls who were forcibly turned into ghosts, offering them the only companionship they have ever known. In this land soaked with despair, they struggle together to survive, seeking even the smallest corner where they might finally belong. True salvation is not found in the glory of slaying the final enemy, but in discovering, amid endless suffering, the quiet strength to keep living, and the fragile peace of a heart that still dares to hope. This is the story of Katō Mitsuko, The half-demon who walks between light and darkness, carrying both the sun and the night within one body.

40k word counts before lock Satou, an ordinary guy from modern-day Japan, suddenly dies in a freak accident, he expects to find himself in the afterlife—or maybe even reincarnated as a hero in a fantasy world, complete with flashy powers and a harem of admirers. But fate has other plans. Thanks to a pair of forgetful gods who accidentally left him stranded in the reincarnation stream, Satou is reborn as the weakest creature imaginable: a baby goblin. Now, trapped in a tiny, green body with stubby arms and a voice that only produces gibberish, Satou must navigate a harsh and unforgiving world where goblins are nothing more than cannon fodder. To make matters worse, he’s surrounded by other baby goblins who see him as their personal chew toy and an old goblin elder who believes he’s the key to an ancient prophecy. Oh, and there’s also the looming threat of something called the “special selection,” which sounds about as fun as a death match. But all hope isn’t lost. Satou discovers he’s been gifted with a unique and overpowered skill: Devouring. By consuming the flesh of other creatures, he can absorb their skills, abilities, and even their memories. The catch? He’s a baby goblin with no teeth, no strength, and no idea how to survive in a world where everything wants to kill him. With the help of his snarky system assistant, Sys, Satou must grow stronger, outsmart his enemies, and defy the odds to prove that even a goblin can rise to greatness. From clumsy baby goblin to potential goblin god, Satou’s journey is filled with humor, danger, and unexpected twists. Will he survive the trials ahead and carve out a place for himself in this brutal world? Or will he end up as just another footnote in the history of goblin-kind?

Seven wakes in a glowing forest with a broken body, missing memory, and a power core barely holding together. The Veshari fear him. The corruption hunts him. Only one girl reaches out her hand. Aeri — a child of biolight. Her glow stabilizes his failing core. Her emotions shape his power. Her trust awakens something ancient inside him. As Seven gathers materials, repairs his hybrid frame, and slowly learns the Veshari language, he evolves: Scrap → Machine Machine → Hybrid Hybrid → Resonance Being Resonance Being → ??? But something in the forest watches. Something remembers him. A slow, emotional, upgrade-driven story of survival, crafting, exploration, and a bond between light and metal. If he evolves enough, he may discover who he was. If not… the corruption will consume the world.

There are times—far too many times—when you feel that uncontrollable urge to kill someone. For Kaya, this… this was exactly that moment. “Repeat what you just said?” She’d seen hell on the battlefield—second-in-command of a military unit, dodging bullets, dragging traitors by the collar, and coming out alive with grit under her nails. But nothing, absolutely nothing, prepared her for the sight of her spineless husband flirting with her own sister. Right in front of her. “I could never marry a barbarian like you. The one I... I like is Meera—” Blah blah. The same pitiful nonsense again. You think—what could possibly be worse than this? And then, right on cue, your idiotic sister chimes in, completely serious, “I just poisoned you.” Wow. BANG. Before anyone could even react, Meera collapsed. Dead. Her so-called husband gasped like a fish dragged out of water. “Y-you…” He dropped to his knees, staring at Kaya like he was seeing a monster rise from the dark. “You killed your sister?! How could y—?” BANG. Second bullet. Same spot. He dropped like a puppet with its strings cut. Silence. ... Just when Kaya thought her story had finally reached its bitter end, the universe—no, god himself—decided to throw in one last, ridiculous twist. “Wife… wife, didn’t you say you were gonna eat me? Why’d you stop?” A snake beast, ridiculously charming and glowing like some immortal fantasy, clung to her, eyes gleaming. Another voice interrupted. “Shut up! My wife wants to cuddle me now—” A sparrow beastman leapt into her arms, like that made any sense. “Hic… wife, don’t you want me anymore?” A panda-like beastman sat beside her, huge, sniffly, and wronged like a child abandoned at a festival. Sitting in the middle of all this, Kaya was absolutely dumbfounded. ‘When the hell did all of this even start?’

​Zi Lang adalah bayangan yang terpinggirkan di pinggiran Kekaisaran. Seorang anak sebatang kara yang tidak mengetahui asal-usulnya, ia hanya mengenal gubuk tua reot sebagai rumah, dan penghinaan sebagai sapaan sehari-hari. Sejak kecil, ia akrab dengan rasa kesepian dan remehan warga desa, membuatnya tumbuh dengan luka batin yang tak terlihat, melebihi luka fisik di wajahnya. ​Puncak kepedihan Zi Lang terjadi ketika ia dikhianati oleh satu-satunya orang dewasa yang pernah menunjukkan kebaikan: Tian Long. Setelah menyelamatkan nyawa pria itu, Zi Lang justru kehilangan Liontin Giok Naga, peninggalan berharga dari ibunya, dan ditinggalkan dengan janji kultivasi yang palsu. ​Pengkhianatan ini tidak menghancurkannya, melainkan menumbuhkan tekad baja. Zi Lang menolak godaan kekuatan gaib yang ia temukan dalam gulungan tersembunyi. Baginya, martabat jauh lebih berharga daripada kekuatan instan. Ia bersumpah untuk bangkit bukan melalui sihir kultivasi, melainkan melalui jerih payah dan kerja kerasnya sendiri. ​Zi Lang memulai perjuangannya di desa, menantang para penebang kayu dan menerima pekerjaan fisik paling berat. Setiap tetes keringat adalah penebusan atas rasa diremehkan. Perlahan, kekuatan fisiknya tumbuh melampaui batas anak seusianya, dan yang lebih penting, ia mendapatkan pengakuan dan rasa hormat yang ia dambakan—bukan dari kemurahan hati, melainkan dari prestasinya. ​Namun, dunia yang kejam menuntut lebih dari sekadar kerja keras. Ketika bahaya mulai mengancam desa dan Kekaisaran, Zi Lang harus menghadapi takdir yang selama ini ia hindari. Ia akan dipaksa untuk kembali pada gulungan kuno yang ia sembunyikan, menerima kenyataan bahwa untuk melindungi martabatnya dan orang-orang yang mulai ia hargai, ia harus menguasai Jalan Kultivasi dan merangkul asal-usul misteriusnya. ​Dari seorang anak buangan yang dikhianati, Zi Lang akan menempuh perjalanan penuh darah dan perjuangan, menaklukkan musuh-musuh besar, hingga akhirnya namanya diukir sebagai sosok paling dihormati di seluruh Kekaisaran. Ini adalah kisah tentang seorang anak tanpa asal-usul yang mendefinisikan dirinya melalui tekad tak tergoyahkan, mengubah setiap pengkhianatan menjadi tangga menuju puncak kekuasaan dan martabat sejati.

In order to complete her mission in a barely recovered world after catastrophe, Arya decided to pretend to be a child and made trouble all day long. She managed to lurk for a few years when her superior suddenly decided to promote her to become a small group leader. Looking at the few people given to her, Arya was silent. Subordinate 1: so Arya likes cake… then I’ll make a few more for her Arya (blush): I only like it a little bit! And you’re using these cakes to exchange for information! Subordinate 2: When doing mission, how come Arya can change her faces so quickly (from unreliable to reliable)? Dual personality? Arya: …Nonsense! You’re the one who have dual personality! Subordinate 3: Why did you call us cute? As a big man nearly 1,9 meters tall, I don’t think I’m suitable for this adjective. Arya (shocked): I never said that! Damn it, who tarnished my reputation? Subordinate 4: Awww, Arya is so cute…. It’s hard to believe that she’s our leader. Arya: S… Sister, even if you say that, don’t try to pinch my cheek! Seeing their group that looked more like a group of adults taking of children, the other people were speechless. Are you sure that you’re a member of criminal organization? Why does it look like you’re trying to cultivate a group of people into a daddy and mommy experts? When Arya’s mission was finally completed, she chose to run away directly.

Seraphina Vale grew up unwanted. An orphan passed from one home to another until she learned that happy endings were best found between pages, not in real life. By adulthood, she was a broke writer, living on instant noodles and failed manuscripts, clinging to dreams that never sold. Then her best friend mailed her a “souvenir” — a tiny glass bottle supposedly holding phoenix tears. She laughed, made a wish, and the next thing she knew… she woke up in another world. A world where dragons run corporations, fox spirits manage PR, and even gorgons hold seats in the boardroom. And her? She’s not even the heroine. Just a phoenix side character and worse, a defective one. As if being cannon fodder wasn’t bad enough, the System whispers her only way home: die. Easy to say, but impossible when phoenixes don’t stay dead. Every time she burns out, she rises again, trapped in the same cruel loop. Then there’s her boss… Lucian Drake, the Ice Dragon CEO with glacial eyes and a reputation as the perfect gentleman. In the original story, Lucian Drake was fated to betray her. His carefully planned affection was only a trap to draw out the real heroine. The system keeps warning her: 'don’t trust him, don’t fall for him.' But how can she not when he smiles like that, when his voice softens, when his smallest gestures feel too genuine to be scripted? So she lets herself believe, just a little… that maybe this story could change. Maybe this time, she could change her roles. But stories have rules. And when the truth surfaces, it cuts deep. She was never the one. Just a substitute. A pawn in his plan to lure the real heroine back. And yet, when everything falls apart, when the truth burns through their carefully built lies, Lucian is the one left chasing after the phoenix he broke. If Seraphina wants to escape, she’ll have to survive office politics, respawn cycles, and a love that was never meant to be hers. Because even if the coldest dragon learns to love her too late... it might already be her turn to fly away. [Transmigration] [Fantasy Romance] [Enemies to Lovers] [Rebirth Loop] [Substitute Female Lead] [Cold CEO Dragon] [Phoenix FL] [Chasing Her Back] [Emotional Betrayal] [Second Male Lead Redemption] [Slow Burn] P/s : This story is written primarily in first-person (Seraphina’s POV) with occasional third-person scenes from Lucian’s perspective to show events outside her knowledge.
