survival

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. This story was inspired by a fanfiction I read years ago — a work I deeply admire and still reread to this day. Unfortunately, that story was never continued.

To many, the eternal bond appears to be a dream. For Renesmee Elizabeth, a pure-blood lycan, it is something as delicate as fragile crystal. Especially when her Alpha loves a false flower instead of the Daughter of the Moon, in the most unforeseen way. In a pack ruled by the light of the Sun, Elizabeth, lunar heir and the central piece of a political pact between rival territories, walks toward a coronation meant to seal peace. But before she can officially assume the mantle of Luna, she is publicly challenged by a calculated affront: another she-wolf occupies the space of affection and favor that should have belonged to her alone. The Alpha who should have been wise becomes a fool in the face of manipulation, betraying his Luna for the sake of convenience, leaving her abandoned like something fragile, made of glass. Amid silences mistaken for submission, an Alpha who chooses not to see, and a Council more afraid of scandal than of truth, Elizabeth comes to understand that the light governing that pack also knows how to burn. And the wolf who rules the night, patient and implacable, does not forget insults. Even if alliances are shattered and new ones are forged, she will not bow to any wolf she is fully capable of breaking.

Lin Yu transmigrated into the Douluo Continent, and at first, he could only sigh in frustration for not having a golden cheat. But unexpectedly, his cheat finally appeared—dragging everyone in the Douluo Continent into its grasp! On that day, every single person was pulled into a livestream Q&A room with rewards.

In a world where magic determines power and faith wages war against darkness, two brothers are walking very different paths. Jeremiah trains under the Church to become an exorcist—one of the warriors tasked with hunting demons and protecting humanity from the monsters that lurk beyond civilization. Elliot, on the other hand, has become something far more complicated. After a mysterious encounter with a powerful artifact, Elliot awakens a terrifying new power and finds himself bound to Lilith, a demonic entity whose energy now flows through his body. As he struggles to control the unstable mixture of human magic and demonic power, Elliot begins walking a path that could either save him—or turn him into the very thing his brother has sworn to destroy. But their personal struggles are only the beginning. The Church tightens its grip on the world, ancient magical orders prepare for conflict, and powerful forces begin to stir beneath the surface. As tensions rise and war looms between factions, Elliot and Jeremiah may soon find themselves caught in a conflict far greater than either of them imagined. And if the day comes when faith and demons finally clash… the two brothers may be forced to choose between the world they believe in and the bond they share.

Ryn Weber is a thirteen-year-old war child, trained from birth to fight in a relentless 48-year-long global conflict. All she wants is a life away from the battlefield — a chance to exist beyond drills, ranks, and endless bloodshed. But every attempt to shift to safer roles backfires, propelling her deeper into the war machine she desperately wants to escape. As nations clash with steam-powered armies and diesel-burning behemoths, Ryn’s unmatched skill keeps her on the front lines, where survival is only half the battle, and the rest is the life she’ll never get to live.

In the year 2145, Earth is split-literally. One side remains bright, modern, deceptively safe. The other, known as The Gray World, is a war-torn wasteland crawling with horrors called the Skuldrith, birthed by the vengeful Velrax the Ash King, God of Death and Destruction. Once every ten years, 10,000 souls are chosen by Kaelira, the Goddess of Life, War, and Fire, to join the frontline defense under a powerful secret organization: Nova Veil. When 12-year-old Owen Cross, a boy overflowing with fire, justice, and spunk, wakes up in the darker half of the world, he learns he's been chosen. But being young, he's pushed to the end of the line, forced to watch as the others undergo transformation through a powerful serum-orange for males, purple for females-that enhances strength, speed, and endurance. Each participant is bonded for life with their partner through the Soul Link, sharing life, death... and sometimes love. Owen is left behind. His only companion: Dr. Evan Thorne, a brilliant, kind-hearted 26-year-old scientist and the youngest member of Nova Veil's research team. As others charge off to war, the two grow close-sharing stories, plans, and hope. When Owen stumbles upon a forgotten vial of the female serum, a wild idea takes shape: what if he took it? What if they did? Against all protocol, the two enter the chamber. When the smoke clears, Owen Cross is gone-and Riley Cross is born. Both Riley and Dr. Thorne-now reborn as Dr. Daphne Thorne-must navigate their new identities, their deepening bond, and a world that may never accept what they've become. As the war escalates and leadership falls, Riley steps into a role no one expected: commander, leader, symbol of hope.

Ethan Crowe walked out of prison after seven years with nothing to his name and nowhere to belong. The world he returned to was unrecognisable. Gates had torn open across the globe, monsters roamed beyond human control, and society now revolved around the Titled - people chosen by mysterious voices and granted supernatural powers that made them heroes, weapons, and rulers all at once. Ethan wasn’t one of them. Not at first. Lost, angry, and with no future worth chasing, Ethan was barely surviving when a voice finally spoke to him. "Your Title is… Lord Of Beasts." But something about his awakening was wrong. Instead of gaining power in the real world like every other Titled, Ethan awakened a System tied to the Tower Of Beasts - a brutal, game-like world he can only enter while asleep. Inside the Tower, Ethan must fight for survival against monstrous creatures, earning power through a system of skills, evolution, and beasts. As for the beasts he acquires there? They persist beyond his dreams... Registered as an E Rank Titled with only D Rank potential, Ethan should have been insignificant. Yet the Lord of Beasts cannot be measured by ordinary standards. As Ethan grows stronger at an impossible rate, his existence begins to ripple outward - drawing the attention of elite Titled, criminal syndicates, and forces lurking behind the Gates themselves. His past refuses to stay buried, his beasts grow more dangerous, and the truth behind his Title hints at something far more terrifying than anyone realises. In a world ruled by power, Ethan Crowe starts at the bottom. But as the Lord of Beasts, it’s only a matter of time before he climbs to the top!

In the year 2147, humanity no longer fights with guns or machines alone — they fight with genes.

Devour mutant beasts. Absorb alien DNA. Break the limits of human biology. Each evolution pushes him closer to something unknown… something no longer human. But Kai soon discovers the truth. The rifts were not natural. They were doors. And something beyond them is evolving as well.
