survival

At five years old, he was sent away from the only world he knew. A village where dreams grew slowly. A home where silence meant safety. Thrown into a hostel far too early, he learned lessons no child should— how silence can protect, how fear can become routine, and how a heart learns to beat quietly just to survive. Years later, in a crowded city full of noise and ambition, the past still lives between his heartbeats. The ragging, the loneliness, the nights spent hiding emotions— none of it truly stayed behind. Silent Between Heartbeats is a raw, emotional journey of a boy who grows up too soon and a man who must finally face the silence he learned to live with. This is not just a story of pain— it’s a story of survival, healing, and the quiet strength it takes to speak after years of silence.

Reborn into a brutal world, Lin Ye awakens with a secret no one should ever possess. In the Wanchuan Continent, where sacred sects rule like gods and the weak are meant to kneel, Lin Ye returns from death with a broken fate—and an unbreakable will. But his second life takes a terrifying turn when his soul connects to an endless Blood Sea, ancient beyond time. From its abyss rises a Crimson Peak, carved with a forbidden, saint-destroying cultivation art… The Nine Revolutions Asura Art. With every revolution, his power grows more monstrous—his body harder than steel, his blade sharper than judgment, his killing intent colder than the underworld itself. He will crush the Four Sacred Lands with shattered fingers. He will slaughter the Heavenly Gods with a single sword stroke. And when the wars of the Shanhai Battlefield ignite and the Nine Heavenly Realms descend into chaos… There will be no equal. No mercy. No rival worthy of his blade. Only one name will echo across the heavens—Asura.

Li Fan thought the floating red bar in his vision was a countdown to his death. He was wrong. It was a countdown to his destiny. As the young, starving leader of the ruined Sunset Sect, Li Fan had nothing left. No money, no food, and no hope. For thirty days, he watched a mysterious percentage tick up in his retina: 99%... He believed that when it hit 100%, his heart would stop. But when the number finally ticked over, he didn't die. Instead, the world twisted. The snow melted into ash, the sky turned the color of bruised flesh, and the sect he tried so hard to save was nothing but a crater. He had traveled 10,000 years into the future. In this spiritual wasteland, Li Fan found a crumbling tombstone with his own name on it: “Here lies Li Fan. Starved to death in the Winter of Year 1. A failure who couldn't save his disciples.” Driven by desperation, he dug up the grave—and found a bag of rice buried with his skeleton. [System Alert: Timeline Scavenging Successful.] Returning to the present with the rice, Li Fan realized the terrifying truth of his power. Every 30 days, he can travel to the future to see the outcome of his current choices. If he fails? He loots his own corpse for mistakes. If he succeeds? He loots his future self for legendary techniques. Armed with the legacy of his failed timelines, Li Fan begins to rebuild his sect. But he soon realizes that the "Wasteland" isn't just a dead future—it's a warning of a Calamity that only he can prevent.

The world didn’t end all at once. It broke into sections. Each section faced its own world-ending apocalypse, some already over, others still happening. Cut off from one another, people survived in different ways. Some followed strict rules. Some stayed silent. Some gave up parts of themselves just to keep going. Most people say everything is fine. But a few start to notice that something isn’t right, the routines that never change, the questions no one is allowed to ask, and the strange cost of staying safe. This story follows each section as it struggles to endure its apocalypse, and the enemies it creates along the way.

Malachi was a gamer who spent most of his time in front of his computer. He enjoyed all kinds of games—adventure quests, role-playing journeys, strategy battles, simulations, fantasy worlds, and action-packed realms filled with magic and mystery. When he participated in a company’s beta version of a new game from ArcanePixel, a studio known for producing massive worldwide games, he didn’t hesitate. The offer alone was too good to ignore, especially since it promised cash rewards for every participant. During the briefing, the company explained that this wasn’t just an ordinary game. They were testing something revolutionary before its global release. Instead of using a controller, console, or computer, players would wear a special VR headset that connected directly to their minds. Their consciousness would enter the game world, allowing them to experience everything as vividly as real life. But there was a warning. Once inside, players wouldn’t be able to leave until the final boss was defeated or until the game officially ended. Until that moment, their bodies would remain asleep in the real world while their minds stayed inside the game. Malachi wasn’t the only one who accepted the offer. Hundreds of gamers also participated. Each player received an Arcane Weapon, a unique weapon forged from the material essence of magical creatures. To grow stronger, they would need to complete quests, slay monsters and bosses, and prepare themselves for the ultimate challenge. The game was also filled with special events designed to push Malachi and the others to their limits. Duels, party battles, trials, guild wars, and more tested their skills, teamwork, and survival instincts. Only the strongest would rise above the rest. Players who defeated the most bosses and earned the highest achievements would claim the greatest rewards.

Is It Wrong to Wake Up as Myself in Orario? A DanMachi fanfic DON'T READ IT IF YOU EXPECT HEAREM AND FUCKUNG SCENES ONLY. I was supposed to land in Japan. Economy seat. Window side. Educational trip on paper—maid cafés in my head. I’d even joked that if the DanMachi world were real, the Hostess of Fertility would put any café to shame. Mama Mia energy. No contest. Then the sky screamed. Metal buckled. Alarms howled. A flash—too bright, too wrong. Truck-kun? In the air? I laughed once, stupidly, and then— Ding. That should’ve been the end. I woke up on cold stone. No hospital. No wreckage. Just towering walls, morning light spilling down narrow streets, and a city breathing around me—vendors shouting, boots on cobblestone, the distant clang of bells. Orario. Not reincarnated. Not reborn. Me. Same thoughts. Same memories. Same hunger. A silver bell rang nearby. I turned—and there he was. Bell Cranel passed me at a run, white hair flashing, eyes bright with a courage that made my chest ache. The world moved around him, like it wanted him to succeed. An orphan on a scholarship back home. An extra here. Or so I thought. That night, a falna burned into my back like destiny deciding it had waited long enough. Strength answered when I reached. Luck followed when I moved. Floors fell. Monsters did not. Weeks later, whispers followed me through the streets of Orario. A nobody who climbed too fast. An outsider who survived too much. Bell ran ahead, chasing his dream. I followed— not to replace him, not to steal his encounters— but to live them. And if fate had dragged me here, then this time, I would answer it on my feet.

The moment she accepts that this is now her reality, she set out two plans: survive and wait for the novel to end; or, survive, become the richest person alive, and live comfortably. She throws herself into everything necessary to stay alive. But then, strange things start happening—why is she developing love interests? The novel she once wrote is changing, becoming more bizarre and unpredictable. Monsters grow stronger, new enemies appear, and a series of events unfold that she never wrote. To her surprise, she’s even gaining abilities beyond the original protagonist’s. "Damn it. Should I just stay and enjoy the life I'm having or escape this world and go back to my plain, old, boring life?" I sighed as I stared at the hordes of monsters charging straight to me.
