survival

Gerhard Valkyrie was born in 979.M41, on an Imperial Hive-world. He regains his memories of a past life in the same year that it was overrun by Orks under a Warboss using as much dakka as they could get their hands on. All alone and isolated, forced to fight against the now resident Orks for survival, Gerhard is unwilling to accept such a fate of constant war and sets out to advance on his own. Thanks to a special power, he became the Gamer, and thanks to that, Gerhard now has a real chance. Chaos and the Xenos better hurry, because the Gamer has entered the Grim Dark Future of the 41st Millennium, and he is here to stay. ____ The content of this story doesn't belong to me and is taken from the wiki and books of GW.

A Normal Teenager who was suddenly transported into a world of magic.

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.

~•No Escape•~ "Are you running away from me, my sweet girl" spoke a voice in the hallway that made her stop in her tracks. The hallway had turned dark with only the wall lamps that burned brightly casting the shadow of the man on the floor as he slowly emerged from the other end. "What are you doing here, your majesty," She said and bowed immediately as she saw him approach her with slow but steady steps. "You haven't answered me, sweet" The man said with a sweet smile that made her wary and he heard the way her heart skipped a beat. He stood before her and used his index finger to raise her chin. He tilted his head as he gazed into her green eyes that looked back at him with fear. He took a step forward closing the distance between them and his eyes narrowed when she took a step back, but that didn't stop him from cornering her. "Did you think you can escape from me?" He continued to question and she didn't miss the mockery behind his words. "I…I" she felt her words tied to her tongue because of the man's daunting aura. She felt him trace her forehead with his finger down to her jaw. He continued moving his hand down to her neck and to the top of her swell and her thudding heart hitched when his hand continued to stay there. "Did you think you can escape from me?" He bent towards her as he spoke. His breath fell on her neck which sent a jolt that traveled down her body. "I told you, you're tied to me and me to you" _______________________ Perdita Kartar was a winsome yet strange young lady. She had an appealing beauty with her green eyes that invoked and impelled anyone who gazed into them. She had fooled her villagers so she could live and protect herself and her remaining family from the night creatures and also humans. But what was bizarre of all, was that Perdita had a secret she shared with no one. She had lived in the village since she was little, and over the years, she had been discreet with each move she made. Unfortunately, things didn't go as she planned. Despite her cautious decorum and fight to stay out of sight, a pair of glacial red eyes falls on her, which followed and refused to leave her out of sight.

On a storm-soaked night, seventeen-year-old Haruto Shikigami loses everything. His parents are slaughtered before his eyes by a devil born from humanity's fears. Yet when death stands before him, Haruto feels something strange—not fear, not anger, not grief. Nothing. That night changes when he becomes the vessel of the legendary Crimson Devil, a calamity responsible for one of history's bloodiest tragedies. Branded a threat to humanity and hunted by powerful factions, Haruto is taken to the Tokyo Institution of Exorcists, where humans form dangerous covenants with devils to fight back against the darkness. Surrounded by prodigies, monsters, and broken souls, Haruto struggles to control the power sleeping inside him. Alongside his teammates—Shimi Horimiya, a girl haunted by a tragic past and the scars of the Blast Devil, and Yamado Kahanru, an arrogant genius who trusts no one—he is thrust into a world of deadly missions, political conspiracies, and ancient secrets. Guiding them is Adryn, an unpredictable exorcist who possesses multiple devil covenants and hides far more than he reveals. As forgotten massacres resurface, powerful organizations move in the shadows, and the truth behind the Crimson Devil begins to emerge, Haruto discovers a terrifying reality: The greatest devils are not always born from fear. Sometimes they are born from humanity itself. In a world where every covenant demands a price, friendships are tested, families are torn apart, and survival often means sacrificing a part of yourself. The question is not whether Haruto can save the world. It's whether he can save himself before the Crimson Devi completely l consumes his identity

Jiang Wei was an exhausted New York product tech until a black-haired woman touched him in an alley and turned him into an emperor penguin. [Penguin Evolution System initialized.] Now he earns Evolution Points by surviving what his human body never could. Pressure Heart. Countercurrent Sense. Abyssal routes. Rookery bonds. Every upgrade makes him stronger, stranger, and less certain that becoming human again is the right goal. Aylin, a princess from a world being eaten by Yokai, needs Jiang to cross worlds and break their hidden soul cores. She also failed three candidates before him, and one may still be alive. To save two worlds, Jiang must dive through haunted oceans, build a colony, survive warped history, and evolve from one furious penguin into something even gods cannot classify. The system calls him incomplete. The rookery calls him stranger. Soon, entire worlds will call him Emperor.

In a world ruled by bloodlines, divine titles, and inherited authority, Kael is born with nothing. No lineage. No patron. No future. Branded as a slave and assigned to dispose of the dead, Kael survives at the lowest layer of society until the day he kills someone he was never meant to touch. That death awakens the Devouring Throne, a forbidden authority that does not grant power freely. It steals it. Every noble he kills leaves the world weaker. Every authority he devours draws the attention of kings, inquisitors, and gods. Every step forward makes him less human and more inevitable. Hunted by nations and feared by heaven itself, Kael must decide whether to hide within a system built to crush him or consume the hierarchy until nothing remains above him. This is not a story of justice. It is the story of what happens when the system’s final executioner decides to sit on the throne.

In a world where swords dominate both battlefields and belief, Leon Valcrest awakens an SSS-Rank talent that no one truly wants. Spearmanship. Born into a declining noble family on the Aurelion Continent, Leon is dismissed as a wasted genius. Swords are the path of glory, magic the road to power. Spears are tools for soldiers, not legends. But Leon refuses to abandon the weapon that chose him. With a system that rewards effort rather than handing out power, he trains relentlessly, surviving monster-infested lands, brutal academy trials, and the silent schemes of nobles who see House Valcrest as easy prey. Every improvement is carved from sweat and blood. Every breakthrough is earned. Unknown to the world, warriors have begun to gather at his side. They are disciplined, silent, and absolutely loyal. To outsiders, they appear to be retainers and hired soldiers. In truth, they are the foundation of a rising power that will one day reshape kingdoms. As Leon strengthens his family, expands his influence, and walks a path history has long ignored, the world will slowly remember a truth it once forgot. Swords may decide duels. But spears decide eras.

Born with a "Scholar’s Soul" into a family of legendary border-warriors, he was a disappointment to his father and a target for the Silverian Hegemony.

In Konoha Year 46, Hyuga Aokawa gained Quincy powers, and the battlefield gradually changed after that. Lightning Release + Divine Annihilation Arrow, a headshot from 800 miles away. The Wind Release: Holy Arrow combined with a single shot destroyed the enemy command post, ending the battle. Explosion Release + Rain of Light, a barrage of attacks blanketed the battlefield. Hyuga Aokawa gazed at the rout of the enemy forces: "Do you like the ninja world version of Katyusha?" Sage Mode + Spirit Particle Cluster transforms him into a mobile turret, unleashing the power of a falling meteor with every gesture. When the enemy, after numerous schemes and at a terrible cost, finally reached Hyuga Aokawa, they encountered... Hyuga Aokawa, a Quincy version of Sage Mode, is proficient in all aspects of ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, and medicine, with no weaknesses. In the realm where flesh and spirit intertwined, he grinned a chilling smile: "Who told you... I'm not good at close combat?" On that day, Iwagakure once again issued a no-responsibility evacuation order. The object is no longer the yellow flash, but a legend known as the "White Shura". Years later, the Otsutsuki God descended upon the ninja world, only to have his throat choked by a hand covered in the power of the Soul King. Hinata Aokawa looked down at the struggling god: "I heard you're also omniscient and omnipotent?" --------------------------- Join my Patreon now to get instant access to the next chapters!

I'm looking at 300+ chapters once the story done. Twins tormented growing up in an orphanage find themselves in the same military school as Quinn Talen and Sil Blade. While Quinn and Sil make a name for themselves, Minx walks her own path in their background. She has protected her brother Midas from bullies all her life with her Plant ability but must keep her true strength and her relationship with Sil a secret while growing her team. With new friends and trying to decide if people really can be trusted, she fights to protect the family she built with Sil while trying to discover the truth about herself and her heritage. For the complete ending, the author is waiting to see if Sil is in My Vampire Awakening that has yet to come out. The current chapters are aligned with My Vampire System (MVS) and the associated timeline. The concept is "what happens with the characters when they aren't busy with Quinn, what if Sil fell in love but kept it a secret. Audience aged 16 and up as some trauma is physical abuse and there are some loosely described sexual scenes..

In Spheraphase, power is woven into the very existence of the world. Dynasties rule vast territories. Gods walk among mortals. Primordial beings shape reality. Ancient bloodlines determine the heights a person can reach while the mysterious Supreme Entities watches over the countless forces that govern existence. Vastarael Richinaria, heir of the Richinaria Dynasty and Prince of Anqerise, was born into a life of privilege, power and expectations. Yet beneath his calm demeanor lies someone whose understanding of the world will eventually surpass everything he was taught to believe. From his early days among the Dynasties to his rise through the Enlightenment stages, Vastarael encounters beings and forces that challenge his understanding of Divinity, existence and reality itself. Along the way, he builds bonds with those who become his beloveds, allies and family, while his journey leads him towards the mysterious realms and the secrets hidden beyond Spheraphase. The world he knows is not what it appears to be. Its consciousness, its Divine Beings, its systems, and even its existence are connected to something far greater—and far more horrifying. With the fate of everything he cares about hanging in the balance, Vastarael begins preparing for a conflict that may take thousands of years to reach its conclusion.

Life is dark and meaningless. That's what it had taught me every single day I'd been cursed to live it. But now, finally, that would all end. My arm ached where the needle pierced the vein. Already, my fingers were numb, spots spinning in front of my eyes. Something clattered onto the pavement. The needle. It must have slipped out of my hand. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first sense of peace that I'd felt since...ever. But that was okay. It meant that there was no one to miss me, and no one I would miss. Well, perhaps there would be a few, but they could always find others to extract their cruel, sadistic pleasure from. My last breath was rough and shallow, the last beat of my heart pitifully fail. I sank to the alley floor, eyes closing, welcoming the blessed nothingness of the end. Only...death was supposed to be dark, wasn't it? And since when did 'nothingness' have so many gods?

Survive the wasteland. Build a utopia. Fall for five impossible mates. In a world where water is currency and the sun burns hope to ash, Meera has nothing left to lose. Betrayed by the man she loved, hunted by the warlord who murdered her father, she flees into the Scorched Marches with a ragtag band of outcasts—beastmen from warring clans who have nowhere else to go. She expects to die in the wasteland. Instead, she becomes their leader. But survival demands more than strategy and sacrifice. It demands alliances with creatures who remember when humans were prey. It demands building settlements in a land that kills the weak. And it demands confronting the five males whose scents call to something primal in her soul—a fated bond she can neither understand nor deny. Kael, the brooding wolf-blooded alpha who challenges her at every turn. Tor, the patient stone-skinned builder who sees her as more than a survivor. Syan, the mysterious serpent healer who tastes her future in venom-laced visions. Rion, the restless hawk-eyed scout who fears commitment more than death. Drayn, the fierce fire-touched smith whose possessive love could consume them both. Five clans. Five mates. One impossible choice—or is it? As dust storms ravage the plains and rival clans circle like predators, Meera must navigate not just the politics of building a utopia, but the dangerous intimacy of hearts that hunger for her touch. Each male offers a piece of what she's lost—protection, stability, understanding, joy, passion. Each bonding ritual binds her deeper to a species she was taught to fear. But love in the wasteland is never simple. Jealousy flares. Ruts bring primal intensity. The settlement whispers about the human who dares claim five beastmen mates. And when ancient prophecies speak of sky fire and the collapse of everything she's built, Meera must decide: Can she be the heart that holds five souls together—or will choosing them all destroy everything? Perfect for readers who crave: * Steamy reverse harem romance with emotional depth * Fated mates from diverse beastmen clans (wolf, stone, serpent, hawk, fire) * Survival and settlement-building stakes * Enemies-to-lovers, slow burn, forced proximity, and possessive males * Ancient Indian cultural influences (inspired by Draupadi's five husbands) * Touch-starved heroine discovering pleasure without guilt * Claiming rituals, scent bonds, and primal mating dynamics In the Scorched Marches, love isn't weakness—it’s the only thing worth fighting for.

Some debts do not disappear with death. When someone dies with something unresolved, they do not pass on. They remain. They decay. They become an entity born from the weight of what was left unfinished. Broken promises, hidden guilt, words never spoken… everything takes shape. Yüta never believed in it until the night he saw one of them staring back at him. Dragged into a secret network of hunters who defeat these entities in order to release them, he soon discovers that defeating them is not always the hardest part. Some want to be heard. Others seek revenge. And some believe humanity does not deserve to continue existing. In a world where every death leaves a crack, the question is not how to fight… but who has the right to decide what deserves to rest.

A hero, bold and young Walked amongst mere men-- Of blood from forgotten kings And dying goddesses... He who yields the sword In shepherd's robes, Is he who will slay the curse That burdened every soul. A princess, fair and mild, Awaits as she kissed her rose petal, Singing her Oleander Symphony In bittersweet melody-- But as dawn rose She waved her kerchief As hero came like God's knight. From Tower old, Their journey begins Like every chivalric ballad Of long time ago.
