survival

"For millennia, mankind and the djinn have been locked in an endless war of occupation. As a result of this conflict, the number of lives lost is immeasurable as nations rose and fell over time. Various factions and armies rose to face the djinn threat in order to prevent the occupation of the human realm by the hostile djinn invaders. But as of the last few centuries, there has been a stalemate between the two with no side taking any decisive action over the other. That is until a series of seemingly small encounters would result in a butterfly effect that would change the course of history forever. Whether that was for better or worse was still yet to be decided."

He was in his early twenties when the world decided to end for him. A computing prodigy, educated at MIT, someone who understood systems, patterns, and limits better than most. In his previous life, power didn’t come from fists, but from the mind — lines of code capable of shaping digital realities. Then he died. And was born again. Reincarnated into the DC Universe as a helpless baby, he grew up in a world where gods walk among humans, where vigilantes defy the impossible, and where power is rarely fair — or free. While others trusted destiny, chance, or inherited gifts, he trusted only one thing: process. Memory intact. Intellect intact. Ambition intact. From an early age, he understood a simple and cruel truth: in that world, those who do not grow are crushed. And so, far from the spotlight of the League, he began to build something forbidden — his own Artificial Intelligence, created not to save the world, but to optimize it. To make him stronger. More efficient. More prepared to survive among monsters, aliens, and symbols. While heroes were born from tragedy, he forged himself in silence. While villains sought external power, he engineered it from within. This is not the story of a chosen one. It is the story of someone who decided to become inevitable. Between code and chaos, science and superhumans, begins the rise of a man who does not believe in miracles — only in evolution.

They become afraid of it, but some initially think it's all a prank by one of the counselors, even when the campers and counselors start to get picked off one by one.

Living a story, many wish to enter their favourite book... But what if you actually could? That is the reality that Aether Moirai lives in, where readers bound to the Codex system can enter stories and grow stronger by changing their endings. But while awakening for most is a blessing, for the little Prince Aether, it had been a curse more than anything; he had been given this title at the worst moment of his life, trapped inside an enemy Kingdom that wanted his head, and to make it worse, his powers were those of a God, which, while it might seem like a good thing, had been the opposite. Between having to care about his own mental health and get stronger so his body doesn't get taken over, and trying to find himself, he also has to worry about the past he has no idea about, since it seems he's more connected to the world than he had thought. He has to decide if he wants to step into the role the world has given him, as the Vessel of one of the five gods of the world, or become a person of his own without losing himself. Quite a harsh world for one that seems like a fairy tale on paper... But what if those stories also have something to say about people entering them... that would make it way worse, wouldn’t it... P/S POTA is a novel with a lot of deaths; a lot of characters die. It’s a very dark novel for a reason, with no fear of gruesome and ugly scenes, but also one with a very complicated system and a lot of niche mechanics, and above all, the protagonist himself changes a lot through the story, and every part of his change is going to be shown, even the bad times. When it comes to uploads, there are two new chapters daily.

The story represents the life of a young girl Iris, whose world has been shaped by a relentless tide of tragedy. It is a journey through her past events ; the horrible moments that followed one after another, each harder than the last. As life became increasingly difficult, her heart became a map of scars and experiences that no one else could see. It is a portrait of a soul forced to grow up in the shadows of loss, trying to survive a reality that feels more like a nightmare. In a world that keeps taking from her, will she find the strength to survive her own tragedies? Or will she finally break under the weight, lost in a darkness with no way back home? Stay with us to see how her story unfolds.

What is a monster? Humans normally define monsters as fear inducing, bloodthirsty creatures bent on destruction. But to Noah? Monsters were the humans who despised him without justifications, who taught him to loathe himself just for being human. Life was hell, a hell that was surrounded by “monsters”. Until one day, the world changed. Humans were suddenly graced by a Divine voice, one that warned of their extinction, but also promised them power. They were bestowed with a system, a system to aid their fight for survival, to survive against monsters. And when humanity was given that chance to survive, Noah chose to walk a path of a tamer, to befriend the very monsters that were threatening the humans' extinction. As he tamed the monsters, learned from them, bonded with them, shedding the last remnants of what it was to be human. Noah began to wonder, is it wrong to be considered a monster? Feedback is definitely appreciated, good or bad, let's make the story good together. I would like to note that the main character isn’t completely ruthless, he's more chaotically neutral. There’s a lot of good stories out there with ruthless, bloodthirsty, cold hearted main characters so if that’s what your interest in then I’m sorry to disappoint you.

(Will edit after main story conclusion. Specifically from the start.) *** Synopsis: A fifteen-year-old schoolgirl happens to find herself approached by a strange woman after a rough day—who happens to know her plans on running away. Astonished, she tried to interrogate, but ended up getting dragged into another universe and another world. There, she finds out that experiments are being ran on fourteen other candidates set aside for her. Being the last candidate, she is told that she might be the first one to face demise. But she is determined to find out what is up with this facility. Eventually, she comes across an astonishing fact—that this whole world and setting is similar to that of a book she read during her younger days. And the protagonist happened to be her own cousin, who also killed her at the near end of the novel. *** (Prologue) Listen... No one is judging no one here. And so am I. The world has been cruel these days. Being modern means being rude to people on the street who are below your rank—That is what they believe. I find this all frustrating, why move with a state of mind that could as well kill you someday. You don't know if this person is a lawyer, a far relative, a doctor, a politician. But you already get the gist, don't you? And like any other teenagers my age, I really want to run away from all this. It's not like I am an orphan or from a poor household. I am from a family which is a standard class in economical terms in this world. And yet, I want to run away. Haha! Anyways. I did succeed. I wonder at what cost? I am away from all that hostility of course... But now I am in another world. Not reincarnated. Not transmigrated to another body. I am with my own soul in my original body, but in another world. This world... is weird. Thinking back, I remember reading a strange book when I was young. This book actually speaks about this world. I am a character there. Funnier thing, I don't know what is up with it either. It appears to me that the writer decided they want to see the 'live-action' version of it. So now... I am the actor playing my own character.

Transmigrated into the world of Shadow Slave, Hermes awakens an unusual Aspect: Grand Alchemist. While others fight monsters with brute strength and lofty ambition, Hermes studies the logic beneath the system. He sees what others cannot. He inscribes what others only dream of. He breathes life into creations that grow as he grows. To him, runes are not sacred. Aspects are not absolute. They are formulas. And formulas can be rewritten. In a world where power is forged through suffering, Hermes will not simply endure. He will rewrite the rules.

Fifty years ago, the Abyss appeared in the world, and the world was never the same. From the Abyss emerged Magical Beasts with unimaginable strength and power that sought to prey on humans and destroy the human race. Yet, alongside the Abyss was a power to awaken a magical occupation that grants its bearers magical abilities, enabling them to fight back. Now, awakened humans with magical abilities are tasked with venturing deep into the Abyss to destroy it once and for all. But there is more to the Abyss than humanity knew. … … Thoren Starfall has been plagued by disease since his childhood. To save him from the Mana-Eating Worm, his parents took a high-interest loan when he was close to dying. When Thoren Starfall recovered from the disease, he awakened the weakest occupation: a Necromancer. As an Awakener, it is compulsory for him to venture into the Abyss, but with a useless occupation, his fate is already decided. Having lost their first daughter to the Abyss, the Starfall family fell into despair. Thoren, however, is different. While everyone calls his occupation useless, he believes otherwise. Hidden beneath his weak occupation lies an Ex-Rank talent, one that even he doesn’t fully understand. But first, he must venture into the Abyss and return in less than 14 days to protect his parents from becoming slaves.

In a century where knowledge belongs to men, Haneul lives as a scholar in secrecy, serving the Joseon dynasty from the shadows. Raised among star charts and forbidden books, she has devoted her life to the heavens, believing that solitude and duty would protect her from the dangers of the world. Everything changes the night she crosses paths with Kang-dae, the King’s most feared deputy general—a man shaped by war, bound by loyalty, and whispered about throughout the palace. What begins as a fleeting encounter soon becomes a dangerous connection, one that threatens to expose Haneul’s hidden intellect and dismantle the carefully constructed life that keeps her safe. Caught between duty and desire, silence and truth, Haneul must choose whether to remain invisible—or risk everything for a love that was never meant to exist. Because in Joseon, love can be as forbidden as knowledge… and just as deadly.

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
