survival

In a world where kingdoms fight for power, resources are scarce, and monsters terrorize forests, swamps, and forgotten lands, survival is a dangerous game. Humans, elves, dwarves, vampires, and werewolves coexist amid ancient wars, deep inequalities, and scars that never truly heal. Akel is a young mercenary of few words, known for his red eyes and an ability that defies the ordinary. Reserved and distrustful, he carries a dark past that he would rather keep buried, revealing only what is necessary to move forward. In cities where danger lurks in every shadow, no one can hide everything forever. As monsters and men struggle for power and survival, Akel will have to face not only external enemies, but also the dark secrets threatening to consume him from within. In a world where a blade alone is not enough to guarantee survival, the true challenge will be discovering who to trust and how far he is willing to go to survive.

In the wake of the bloody skirmishes between the Planetary Defense Forces (PDF) and the Traitor Guard, the war-torn surface of the Hive World is littered with the "expended" assets of the God-Emperor. While others see only corpses and ruin, Kian Voss, a scavenger blessed with the "Scavenge-Strike-Extract" System, sees a golden opportunity to strip the land bare. A discarded Lasgun from a fallen guardsman? Claimed. It’s loaded with Mark III Overcharge Packs. A set of scorched Carapace Armor? Stripped. That’s Grade-4 reinforced plate. The Bolt Pistol of a dead Commissar? Emperor's Mercy! It’s chambered with Grade-5 Kraken Penetrators! A wrecked Leman Russ Battle Tank? Pry open the hull—he’s just salvaged a Master-crafted Archaeotech Power Cell! Everything goes back to his Underhive Sanctum. By trading with hive-gang syndicates and black-market contacts, Kian exchanges his loot for construction materials to fortify his base. From his hidden workshop, he manufactures Artificer-pattern Stubbers and High-output Power Cells. Clad in his own customized Power Armor, Kian Voss spearheads the assault against the heretic. His goal? To farm enough "Favor of the Emperor" to eventually ascend to the foot of the Golden Throne itself!

The continuation journey of Alter in the virtual world. Takes place after The World of Fractured Realms. But this time, Gaia took her frustrations out on Alter and accidently unleashed something that should not have.

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. This project is not a continuation, rewrite, or replacement of that original work. It is an independent story, created with its own plot, characters, and direction, merely inspired by the ideas and feelings that the original story left with me.

In humanity’s dystopian future, the Oasis has become the only chance for expansion. There, each envoy can become a Lord — raise fortresses, command armies, and summon heroes. But there is a silent hierarchy. Humans are already considered the weakest race. And the colonists… are merely numbers sent to meet quotas. He was born in one of those colonies. He was not chosen for talent. He was not sent for honor. He was sent because someone had to fill the slot. He hates no one. He does not dream of revenge. He has only one goal: To survive. In the Oasis, surviving means building. Building means dominating. And dominating requires heroes. When his time came to summon… ordinary soldiers did not answer. Lesser spirits did not appear. Legends came. And the world that treated him as disposable would begin to learn that surviving can be the first step toward ruling.

[A depressed boy clings to a game and its doomed action protagonist for his life until the game's world becomes reality and he embarks a determined journey to change protagonist's ending that the boy strongly rejects.] Johann had already given up on reality long before it began to collapse. The only thing that kept him going was a game, The Mayhem, and its silent, unstoppable protagonist: the Hellraider. Then the game became real. Monsters, death, and destruction—everything unfolded exactly as he remembered. But Johann didn’t enter this world to survive. He came for one reason: to follow Hellraider… and change the ending that should have never happened. Yet the more he walks that path, the more the world begins to break away from what he knows. Events shift. Truths contradict. And the figure he once believed he understood refuses to be defined by anything, not even the story itself. In a world where even fate is unstable, Johann continues forward, even when he no longer knows what he is chasing. *The entire story is completed. New chapter will be published regularly.*

"Dragons and their spawn rule the skies, the land, and the seas... humanity survives in the cracks, dreaming of a comeback." _____ Power comes from the beast you tame. Wolves, hawks, snakes, spiders, chimeras, the stronger your summon, the brighter your future. Too bad for our protagonist. When everyone else summoned salamanders, eagles, troll dogs(not doge) or tigers, he got… Well, let’s just say the only thing lower on the food chain is dirt. Laughed at, bullied, and living as the butt of every joke, he’s not exactly winning. But giving up isn’t an option... His aging parents sold everything for his "failed" chance, and he won’t let it be for nothing. But hey, this is his story. The weakest beast tamer? Here’s the thing about being at the bottom: it teaches you how to climb. And dragons? Turns out they start small too. As kingdoms crumble under greed and external threats, the weakest tamer begins his rise. Follow his path as he unlocks a potential so rare, so terrifying, it leads to dragons… Every evolutionary line leads to the strongest ‘SSS Dragons’. _______ Warning: Contains world-ending dragons, ridicule-fueled underdog revenge, dragon-scaled protagonist, morally questionable nobles, insane creature evolutions and enough twists to make you wonder if weakest really means luckiest. A MC who’s out to prove everyone wrong… even if it kills him. Spoiler alert: It won’t. For those who love a whole lot of fun, this one’s for you. If you’re looking for a darker story, look somewhere else (Maybe Utopian System (;) This one’s about having fun and taming expectations. _______ We will use the same Discord from my first book, come join! https://discord.gg/W3CjfC2cw4 _______ Silly tags that seem to matter a lot to some readers: No Yaoi, No Yuri, Possibly Harem (Vote! I can write either, and in any case, there will be multiple girls. The only difference is whether he chooses one in the end or goes the "liberal" route.... democracy is yours!), No NTR.

In a fantastical world where strength reigns supreme, power determines everything. With strength, you can have it all—you can ignore reason, abandon morality and virtue, and even trample on the most basic human rights. ... Since that’s how the world works, don’t blame me for refusing to play by the rules anymore! Thank you for the support, friends. If you want to read more chapters in advance, go to my Patreon.

A burnt-out “code monkey” dies after a gaming binge and is reborn as Kōe Shihouin, an abandoned child in the brutal District 80. His fate changes when Yamamoto Genryūsai recognizes him as a once-in-a-millennium prodigy and takes him as his final disciple. While others treat Kidō as rigid magic, Kōe approaches it like programming—analyzing and rebuilding it to create innovative techniques like “Combination Kidō” with unmatched precision. But he hides a dangerous secret: two souls within him, granting immense power and the rare ability to wield two Zanpakutō. Framed for murder and exiled for 150 years, Kōe’s punishment is actually a cover for a covert mission investigating the Quincy resurgence. When he returns to a Seireitei on the brink of chaos, he must clear his name, confront Azashiro Sōya, and survive deadly noble clan politics—including a forced marriage to Yoruichi Shihōin. With knowledge of the future and a blade that defies death, Kōe rises as one of Soul Society’s most unorthodox geniuses, destined to change its fate forever.

The boys summoned from Earth were meant to be heroes. Instead, they became slaves. Branded as expendable weapons by the empire that summoned them, the group later known as the Strays survives through rebellion, escape, and bloodshed. Freedom comes at a cost—and now powerful nobles, mercenary orders, and kingdoms hunt the runaway summons who were never meant to live. Armed with stolen magic and hard-earned scars, the Strays travel a continent consumed by war, searching for one impossible prize: a way back to Earth. But in a world that profits from their existence, escaping may mean tearing down the very empires that control it.

Yokai Awakening follows the rise and fall of a bloodline tied to both glory and ruin. Long ago, Prince Mydeimos Crimson, the firstborn of the Crimson King, stood as the strongest of his kind—a ruler blessed with love, family, and unmatched power. But in a single tragic moment, he lost everything: his wife, his children, and even his own life. No one, not even the Crimson King himself, knows how he truly died. Centuries later, the Crimson name is no longer a symbol of peace but of fear—monsters seeking to reshape the world in their image. In this new era, a boy named Jae Hoon is born. Unlike the corrupted legacy of the Crimsons, Jae cherishes his family, dreams of protecting those he loves, and longs to create a better world. From childhood, he learns magic, awakens his mana core, and begins uncovering the hidden truths of the world—and of himself. But fate is cruel. Betrayed and humiliated by Princess Liora in the royal capital, Jae returns home only to find his village in flames. There, before his very eyes, a hooded figure slaughters his people and rips his father apart in the most horrific way imaginable. Cornered at the edge of a cliff, Jae faces certain death—until a mysterious system appears before him with a single question: “Do you wish to awaken?” That moment marks the beginning of Jae Hoon’s Yokai Awakening—a rebirth into a world filled with political issues,power hungry, deadly yokai beasts, and unending war. Yet even with his new strength, peace is fragile. To survive, Jae must endure betrayal, political strife, and battles that push him to his very limits, all while uncovering the mysteries of his reincarnation, the Crimsons, and his own destiny. At its heart, Yokai Awakening is a tale of fantasy, action, reincarnation, and hope—where one boy dares to challenge fate itself to forge the world of his dreams.
