survival

In a world where survival is dictated by chains of fear, fate ties together four broken youths: Rūpu, the spirited heart who masks pain behind smiles; Hanae, gentle yet burdened by a silence that screams louder than words; Giru, sharp-tongued and hardened by betrayal; and Isshun, the quiet pillar who always reached out to the others-until his past comes back to devour him. From the slums beneath towering cities to the frozen ruins of Cherry Hills, they are driven by the same aching truth: their pasts will never let them go. Yet in the cracks of despair, friendship grows-fragile, scarred, and unyielding. Together they dream of escape, of freedom, of living without chains. But the world does not give easily, and every step forward demands blood, sacrifice, and choices that carve scars deeper than steel. Their journey spirals into chaos when Isshun's father, a figure whose cruelty is sharper than any blade, forces his own child his own against friends, using fear as a weapon. The blizzard becomes their battlefield, a storm of broken bonds and shattered hopes. Blood stains snow, trust is ripped apart, and laughter echoes from the mouth of a monster who calls himself "father." And then-silence. Isshun's sword ends one nightmare but turns upon himself. The screen goes black. Volume One closes not with triumph, but with a knife's edge between despair and hope-leaving their story hanging in the storm.

A gamer wakes up inside his favorite game DESTINY as its most hated, cursed NPC—Kel von Rosenfeld. Doomed to die in the first arc, he now carries the knowledge of the entire game. To survive, he must defy destiny itself and rise from disgrace to absolute power.

When the System arrived, Earth broke. Monsters rose, cities fell, and killing became the fastest way to grow stronger. Kael should have died on the first day. He had no power, no destiny, and nothing that made him special. But he survived something impossible, and whatever woke inside him did not feel like a gift. Now every victory changes him, every reward leaves a scar, and in a world that turns survival into progress, Kael must become stronger without becoming a monster.

My family sold me to a monster to settle their debts. The whole country knows the rumors. Nicholas Sterling is a hideous, reclusive beast who shuns the light, a man whose face was ruined in a fire and whose heart was twisted by cruelty. They say he buys beautiful things—especially women—just to break them. I was delivered to his cliffside manor with nothing but the clothes on my back and a heart full of dread, a sacrificial lamb to keep my sister alive. I expected a grotesque tyrant. I was not prepared for him. A man with the face of a fallen angel and the presence of a king. His eyes aren't cruel; they're haunted by a grief so deep it steals my breath. His touch isn't violent; it’s a question that terrifies me even more. He calls me his wife. He gives me the run of his castle. But he also watches me with an intensity that feels like possession. And the one rule he gives me is the most chilling of all: Never go into the west wing. But in a house built on lies, how can I resist? The truth is waiting behind that door. And it’s more beautiful, and more terrible, than any beast.

In this world, reaching the highest tier of Heaven requires more than a single lifetime of virtue—it requires a mountain of Merits accumulated through endless cycles of reincarnation. For Mujun, this journey is a living nightmare. Unlike others, he remembers every detail of his past lives. For millions of years, he has played the role of the selfless saint, but the weight of forced goodness has left him weary, bored, and deeply isolated. Desperate for a companion who understands his burden and tired of waiting for an enlightenment that never comes, Mujun makes a fateful choice. He decides to stop following the rules of Heaven and start writing his own—starting with the creation of a companion, no matter the cost to the innocent.

With zero knowledge of the Naruto universe, Linto is suddenly reincarnated into Konoha as an Uchiha—on the very night of the clan's massacre. Luckily for him, he arrives equipped with a JOJO Stand System. Taijutsu fight? Summon Star Platinum! Long-range battle? Call Weather Report! Need for speed? Activate Made in Heaven! One by one, powerful Stands manifest behind him. But as his power grows, so does the list of people who want him dead. Itachi Uchiha wants him eliminated. Danzo wants him for experimentation. Obito wants him silenced. Even Madara Uchiha sees him as a threat. Linto soon realizes his enemies aren't just a few individuals—it's the entire twisted, cannibalistic world he's landed in. "If you refuse to be a master of power," Obito tells him, "you are doomed to be its slave. That is the immutable rule of the ninja world." "But just because a rule exists, does that make it right?" Linto makes his choice: "If this world is broken, then I will shatter it and build a new one." His goal is simple: to make people live like human beings.

So if there are any mistakes in writing or language that are difficult to understand, please understand. I will keep trying to be a better writer. And you can see the changes in my writing style from chapter to chapter.} ------------------------------------ Hello, my loyal readers! Thank you so much for still being here and accompanying me on this journey until now. TROC started three years ago, and it was the first project I truly dedicated myself to as a serious author. As a new writer back then, I am well aware that there were many flaws in the early chapters, but your unwavering support is what allowed me to learn and grow over time. Finally, we have reached the turning point: The Final Volume — Sunk of Demon War. Just like the previous volumes, I expect this one to reach 200+ chapters, or perhaps even more. My goal is to complete Volume 3 within this year, God willing. A few technical notes: Encyclopedia of Species: Information regarding the Warbeast Species and other Mana Species will not be included in this volume. Instead, I will be compiling them into a dedicated Side Story collection, formatted like a world-building manual. The "Definitive" Edit: Once Volume 3 is concluded, I plan to conduct a massive overhaul and edit starting from Chapter 1 to ensure the entire series meets the quality standards I’ve developed today. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Bonus Chapter Event: Let's Finish TROC This Year! It looks like sticking to just one chapter a day won't be enough to hit my goal of completing TROC by the end of the year. But here is the good news: I currently have a stockpile of over 20 chapters locked and loaded! To speed up the releases and show my appreciation for your incredible support, I am officially opening a Bonus Chapter System! You can unlock additional chapters instantly by hitting any of these milestones: - 10 Power Stones = +1 Bonus Chapter - 5 Golden Tickets = +1 Bonus Chapter - 1 "Ice Cola" Gift (or any gift worth 10 Coins) = +1 Bonus Chapter Let's break the limits and reach the climax of the story together!

After waking up, everyone will travel through a wasteland world, and the survivors will face various challenges such as acid rain, extreme cold, extreme heat and mutant creatures. Every corner holds unknown dangers, and the survivors have to adapt to this harsh environment. To withstand natural disasters, the survivors must build their own shelters in this dangerous land, stockpile enough water and resources to survive before the disaster strikes. While others struggle daily to gather rotten scraps and fight over limited supplies, fear and desperation slowly spread through the wasteland. Vikram Parker awakened a plant system. While others are scraping for a little bit of food, Vikram can cultivate crops. While survivors reinforce their shelters with fragile wood and broken metal, he grows living walls of vines and sturdy thornwood. His plants can bear fruits, purify water, and gradually transform barren land into fertile soil. As the regional chat fills with panic before every incoming disaster, Vikram calmly harvests fresh vegetables inside his green sanctuary. Looking at the endless cries for help and warnings of starvation, he can’t help but think. Surviving in the apocalypse isn’t that hard. Goals for the first 300 chapters: - Daily Update 1 Chapter Power Ranking Top 3 = 1 Extra Chapters! Power Ranking No 1 = 3 Extra Chapters! Every 20 Golden Tickets = 1 Extra Chapters!

They said it was only a school lunch program. They were wrong. After Arga ate the food from the MBG program, his body changed—faster, stronger, more connected. But he wasn’t the only one. When the school turns into a battlefield and students begin losing control, Arga must choose: save everyone… or seize control of the system himself. Because this war was never about food. It’s about who controls the future.

Yuuta Konuari was the weakest, most average guy on Earth. Barely scraping through college. Working a part-time job. Growing up in a quiet orphanage with no family to call his own. Life was simple. Predictable. Lonely. Then fate played a cruel game. One night, he dreamed of a woman. A stunning, powerful Dragon Queen from another world and he slept with her. The dream felt so real that he woke breathless, but he convinced himself it was nothing. Just his lonely mind playing tricks. He forgot about it. He moved on. He continued living in silence for Five year. Until she showed up in his room. Erza, the Dragon Queen, crossed worlds to find him. She brought a child with silver hair, tiny wings, and red eyes that looked exactly like his. A little girl who called him "Papa." She gives him one year. One year to prove himself worthy of being her mate. One year before she kills him for tainting the royal bloodline. Yuuta should be terrified. He is terrified. But he has never had a family before. And Elena with her wagging tail, her boundless curiosity, and her absolute certainty that Papa can fix anything has already claimed his heart. On the surface, this is a story about a mortal man who somehow won the heart of an ice queen. A slice-of-life romance about cooking, dancing, and learning to be a family. It is warm. It is tender. It is the kind of story that makes you believe love can conquer anything. It is not. Beneath the surface, something else lurks. A secret buried in Yuuta's blood. A past he was forced to forget. A truth that connects him to the very monsters hunting them. The scars on his back are not from childhood accidents. The nightmares that wake him screaming are not random. And the woman who swore to kill him is beginning to realize that the mortal she despises is not the villain she imagined. He is the victim. The forgotten son. The boy who was never meant to exist. As enemies close in from both worlds, Yuuta must uncover the truth of his origin before it destroys everything he loves. He does not have magic. He does not have power. He has only his hands, his heart, and the stubborn refusal to let go. He doesn't need to be a hero. He just needs to hold on. But holding on may cost him everything.

(Multiple transmigrators — enter at your own discretion) (Non-conventional single female lead) After a late-night discussion with his roommates about whether Eren’s world-ending actions were justified, Chen Si falls asleep—only to wake up having inexplicably arrived in the world of Attack on Titan. By chance, Chen Si discovers that he now wields the power of electricity. Under the baptism of lightning, he gains a body comparable to that of an Ackerman. Chen Si: “Oops… I accidentally one-shotted that Titan. Levi won’t mind, right?” Mikasa: “Brother… what exactly am I to you?” Chen Si: “Mikasa, I hope you truly like me from the bottom of your heart, not because—” Mikasa interrupts, repeating: “Chen Si! What exactly am I to you?!” Chen Si: “You’re my little sister. Family.” Hearing this, Mikasa lowers her head as violent arcs of electricity/thunder erupt wildly around her. Seeing this, Chen Si hurriedly changes his words: “Alright, alright—my lover!” Eren: “Chen Si, hate me! Kill me, and you’ll be free!

"Wait..." “I can have powers?! —and money!?” “Being a girl might not be that bad, after all.”

Robert Sylvester Kelly. 59 years old. Butner. Prison. Famous. Hated. Useful. — But the soul inside him was not his. — The man who lived through that body was normal. No killer. No monster. No villain hiding behind a smile. Just a regular man who died before his life ever became anything worth remembering. — And then— He opened his eyes as a name history already hated. — A voice that could shake churches. A body once young enough to change. A future full of fame, money, women, music, scandal, rot, and prison. A legacy that somehow still became poison. — But this Robert was different.
