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?

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!

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.

“I want to live too...” Those were the last words he uttered before being left behind, torn apart by the fallen. Yet betrayal, anger, and frustration were not the deepest emotions he felt. Not even the pain of being ripped apart, flesh by flesh. It was clarity, much like his name. Lucid understood then that maybe, just maybe, he had spent his life the wrong way. Perhaps, in his next life, he would have better luck. However, Lucid awakens in a strange purple forest that feels both foreign and strangely familiar, against all odds he had survived. Yet his face is hidden behind a peculiar fog that seems mysterious. Suddenly a voice chimes inside his head, a beautiful, elegant voice. A voice that seems to belong to a long-fallen deity named Alice. But upon realization, she is just as lost as he is. She cannot remember her own past, and yet, she carries a hope he himself lacks. Alice guides him forward through the scattered realms, and as they journey together, Lucid may be the only thing capable of restoring this fallen deity to her former divinity. And in return, she may be the only one capable of leading him home. Or perhaps fueling the twisted desire buried deep within him. Revenge... After all, he has not forgotten... *** What to Expect Slow-burn Transmigration, Isekai and fantasy An overpowered protagonist forced through brutal struggle and grit Heavy moral conflicts, difficult choices, and the weight of duty A consistent main cast that grows and supports one another Mystery-driven worldbuilding Character-focused progression Subtle romance *** Schedule: 5 chapters on Tuesday 5 chapters on Saturday *** Patreon Daily release schedule *** General Author Linktree https://linktr.ee/Cr1msonLight

In the shadows of Konoha, the Uchiha were never defeated by rebellion. They were erased by fear, secrets, and silence. Toyoma Uchiha is not a prodigy chasing power, nor a fool blinded by revenge.

With a handful of elders who still remember what it means to protect family, and enemies who smile while sharpening their knives, the Uchiha stand at the edge of extinction. This time, the future will not unfold quietly. This is not the story of a massacre. It is the story of a clan that refused to disappear. Early Access Available: support-pat****n/hear_tteeth (18+)

After dying from cancer, Oliver Smith wakes up in the freezing Weather Hills of Middle-earth as Aldric, a minor Dúnedain noble with nothing but a rusted sword and a group of forty-six starving refugees. However, he isn't just a survivor—he is the host of the Kingdom Restoration System (KRS). In a land of fading magic and rising darkness, Aldric must use the system to rebuild the lost kingdom of Arnor from the ground up. From managing granaries and planting orchards to training a military capable of standing against the shadow, he must transform a band of desperate refugees into a continental power. The world thinks the age of Men is over, but with a system for civilization building, Aldric is about to prove them wrong. The System: Kingdom Restoration (KRS) Territory Management: Allows the MC to "claim" land. Once claimed, the system provides a map overlay showing resource nodes (ore, fertile soil) and structural integrity of ruins, making it easier to rebuild ancient bastions like Amon Hen-dîr. Population & Loyalty Tracking: A HUD that shows the exact number of followers, their health, and their loyalty levels. It calculates "Prosperity" and "Stability" scores, warning the MC of potential rebellions or starvation before they happen. Civilization Skill Trees: Points earned from quests can be invested into trees like Agriculture (increasing crop yields), Masonry (speeding up construction), or Military Reform (enhancing the combat stats of his soldiers). Quest & Reputation System: The system issues "Restoration Quests" that provide essential rewards for growth. It also tracks his reputation among other factions (Elves, Dwarves, Rohan), unlocking unique trade or diplomatic options as his fame grows.

In humanity’s Primordial Era, humans are prey. But the world around them is anything but primitive. Gods harvest faith. Transcendants strip entire regions of their resources. Powerful races keep weaker species beneath them, and among the countless races struggling for supremacy, humanity is little more than a renewable resource. Aris Seldon, a self-taught hacker from Earth, died stealing a Biochip capable of changing humanity’s future. Instead, he helped destroy that future—and was given a second chance. Reborn as a human villager in the distant past with the Biochip fused to his soul, Aris possesses no powerful bloodline, no legendary inheritance, and no divine favor. All he has is his own mind and Prime: a Biochip capable of scanning, recording, analyzing, and optimizing what it encounters. To others, every enemy is a threat. To Aris, every enemy is a source of knowledge. Every battle an experiment. Every failure reveals another piece of the world. But the deeper Aris looks, the less natural that world begins to seem. Faith offers power. Bloodline offers power. Devouring offers power. And every path comes with chains. Aris refuses them all. If power follows laws, those laws can be studied. If a path can be understood, it can be rebuilt. And in a world ruled by beings who hide their power behind mystery, Aris intends to understand everything.
