survival

I wanted an S-Rank core trait. I wanted to be special. An elite. At the very least, I wanted a single core trait ability. I wanted it so badly I would've died for it. So why... Why did I awaken with nothing? Fifty years ago, gates connecting the mortal world and the monster world appeared. Monsters poured out. People awakened. Those blessed with power became known as Ascendants. Heroes. But Unfortunately... not everyone received that blessing. My name is Ming Tia Xu. A rankless Ascendant. A failure who awakened for the sake of awakening. Chasing a false legend I should never have believed. I was nothing more than a mistake waiting to be discarded. Finally surrendered to death. Then reincarnation happened. And I obtained something I should never have touched. A power that does not belong in this universe. A power that can bend laws, challenge fate, and erase what should never be erased. With every dungeon I conquer, I grow stronger. With every quest, I move closer to the truth hidden behind my existence. But power always demands a price. And mine is one no Ascendant would ever accept. The power I received is also a curse. One that turns every battle into a nightmare. Because in a world where everyone fights to kill— I cannot. #WeakToStrong #Reincarnation #System #NoHarem #MaleMC #MagicAndSwordsmanship #Gates #Academy #Deities/Gods #hidden linage

In an age of blood, steel, and freezing spray, a Viking’s worth is measured by the swing of his axe. They are raiders. They are conquerors. They are the terror of the North. Ragnar, the eighteen-year-old bastard son of a starving chieftain, is none of these things. Just a month ago, he was a Senior Naval Architect in Seattle, designing high-efficiency cargo vessels. Now, he stands on a frozen fjord in 865 AD, facing a suicide mission to England that threatens to wipe out his village. Mocked for his refusal to raid and his obsession with "wizard words" like logistics and drag coefficients, Ragnar is dismissed as a coward. But they are all wrong. Where they see a longship, he sees a displacement curve waiting to be optimized. Where they see a storm, he sees wind energy waiting to be harnessed. They say his methods are madness. Soon, they will realize that while they are playing at war, he is engineering an empire. -------- Disclaimer: *Kingdom Building & Tech-Uplift: MC uses modern engineering to revolutionize the Viking Age. *Weak-to-Strong: Starts as a despised bastard, progresses to a wealthy tycoon/warlord. *High Detail: Detailed descriptions of ship-building and primitive industrialization.

Terra II, a world split into vast planes, where deserts stretch ceaselessly and horrors—roamed without rest. It is a land scarred by self made nightmares that never fade. The Common Era, where the concept of happiness has been abandoned. No story begins with joy, and none end with peace. One mistake—a misplaced word, a fleeting gesture—is all that it took. Strength was never the problem. You survived long enough to know that looking strong, feeling strong, and being strong are three different lies people tell themselves to keep moving. Terra is heavy. The roads are long and boundless like the deserts. And family...family—that has been stripped away. Once? Twice? no, Thrice? You’ve walked. You’ve run. You’ve shot at everything. You've seen your friends perish away, your self-made family rotting away, and how do you cover it? By carrying a carload of supplies through every kind of conceivable catastrophe. ———————— I'm pretty nervous how this version will be received and since i went for both magic and a modern setting. I'm not really good as creating things so i took inspiration from some well known media, so if it seems familiar, i tried as best i could to make it my own. but idk. Lets see, it starts to pick up the pace slowly. It's a slow born sort of thing. short ass rant, lol. Kristen out, peace.

Atlas was the absolute definition of average, and he had made his peace with that. He asked nothing of the world, and expected even less. Then, a single voice shattered the minds of every human on Earth at the exact same moment. They called themselves the Tohotsi. Atlas would come to know the aftermath as the Great Elevation, the day where his Qualia, the raw, untamed weight of his own will pressing against reality, was violently forced awake. When he finally opens his eyes, centuries have passed. Sold into the Rohar, a merciless network of death match arenas, Atlas is thrust into a meat grinder of men twisted by the very event that remade the world. To survive the blood and the dust, he has no choice. He must let his Qualia tear itself loose, clawing his way to victory one brutal execution at a time. But in this new era, power demands a heavy toll. With every limit he shatters, a piece of the man he used to be quietly dies.

After heartbreak ends his life, Andres awakens in a fantasy world he once dreamed of—only to discover he has no talent for magic or martial arts. Starving and desperate, he stumbles upon a mythical tree and does the impossible—eating eighteen of its forbidden fruits. Now armed with a reality-breaking system, Andres must rise from nothing in a world that values strength above all… while hiding a power that should never exist.

"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.

A normal Warhammer 40k fan while listening to some majorkill videos talking about the emperor and his sons. Thought to himself, "Wow the Emperor was a dick, I bet I can do better." Yet he never imagined a certain dick would take it personally and drag him into the 40k verse to stand by those words. Note: I'm completely new to writing so my format will be weird until I get used to writing. I'm writing this because I'm a huge WH:40k fan and I've always wanted to write something myself. I've been learning lore in my off time but there's still a lot I don't know. So don't expect any diamonds here, just inconsistencies.

Forks is a town that hides its secrets well until someone arrives who doesn’t belong to any of them. When a quiet teenage boy with obsidian black hair streaked with crimson and silver transfers to Forks High School, he draws attention without trying. His black purple eyes, dark as polished stone, seem to notice things no one else does especially the Cullens. Unlike Bella Swan, he doesn’t fall blindly into the mystery. Unlike the wolves of La Push, he isn’t bound by blood or treaty. And unlike the vampires, he is not immortal yet something about him unsettles them all. As rain falls endlessly over Forks, the balance between humans, vampires, and werewolves begins to shift. The boy is not a savior, not a monster, and not a chosen one just a human standing at the edge of truths that should never be known. Some secrets hunt you back.

What do we all seek after a long day? Some may say wealth, others comfort… perhaps the embrace of a lover or the warmth of laughter among friends. Yet when everything is stripped away, there is one thing every living being longs for: Rest. To lie upon a soft bed, wrap ourselves in warmth, close our eyes, and surrender to the tranquility of sleep, hoping for blissful dreams to carry us away from the cruelty of reality. But what if sleep was the crueler reality? What if every time your eyes closed, you were dragged into another world? A world not of wonder, but of nightmares. A place where monsters hunt you endlessly and even rest itself becomes impossible. At first, it may sound like fantasy. Another world? An adventure? The dream of every reader. But think deeper. If you spend the day surviving one harsh world, only to spend the night surviving another… then when do you truly rest? When do you heal? When do you live? Such is the fate of Prince Idel . A frail, exhausted royal who wanders the Dream Realm every night for eternity. In one world, he is misunderstood. In the other, he is hated. to get more info about the world, power systems and the like, hit my Tic tok https://vm.tiktok.com/ZS92ku3TGugtN-2aGQj/

An adult man is reincarnated into the Naruto universe as Yamato, a talented young Genin. Unfortunately for him, Root is actively trying to eliminate him. He only survives the initial attempt thanks to the original Yamato's extreme caution. Knowing that staying in the Hidden Leaf is too dangerous, and that Root will inevitably send more assassins, he makes the drastic decision to defect. Even though Konoha was supposed to guarantee his safety, he chose the path of a rogue ninja. This story explores the harsh consequences of that choice... and how he comes to regret it. Author's Note & Warnings The Power Dynamic: The MC does not inherit the original Yamato’s genius talent. He only possesses "musical memory," which applies to a few specific Jutsu. To survive and gain real power, he will have to work incredibly hard. No Harem: I repeat, no harem. (There will likely be no romance at all. Dark Themes: There will be killing. Lots of it. The Beginning: I am not the best at writing introductions, so the first few chapters might feel a bit rough. Character Focus: This story is heavily centered on the Main Character. Side characters won't get much spotlight, though that might change occasionally. No Boruto: I haven't read Boruto (and don't plan to), so that plotline will not be factored into this story. What to Expect: A smart, calculating MC. Heavy focus on training and development. The MC is operating as an assassin. Almost every arc is entirely original. Because the story takes place outside the main events of the anime, the canon Naruto plot won't change much (at least until Shippuden). Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or its characters (except for the original characters I create). P.S. This is my first fanfic, and I'm hoping it turns out well! All reviews and constructive criticism are welcome.

William Green thought a heart attack was the end, but he wakes up in Copenhagen inside the body of a marked ICA informant. To stay ahead of Agent 47, he must navigate the "Morality Inversion System," a parasitic framework that grants him supernatural abilities like "System Scan" and "Compel" in exchange for committing increasingly heinous sins. Using his meta-knowledge of the World of Assassination games, William attempts to dismantle his enemies while his "Humanity" meter ticks toward zero. As he flees across Europe, he realizes he isn't the only "User" being groomed by an extradimensional entity to become something far worse than a mere killer.

Roxanna died in a snowstorm apocalypse after being betrayed by her ex-husband and her best friend. But instead of resting in peace, she wakes up in the body of Roxanna Vixelle, the infamous Pink Fox villainess who tortured her five beast husbands for fun. Worse, the system in her head says: [Mandatory Survival Action: Mate with one of your husbands to gain +5 days of life.] [Failure Consequence: Death in 48 hours.] She thought she would never be able to complete that mission because after all, her husbands despise her. But without her realizing it, all five of them can hear every single thought inside her adorable little head. So when the system gives her that impossible quest again… All her husbands immediately line up in front of her like soldiers waiting for inspection. Dog husband: “CHOOSE ME! I’m the strongest! I have stamina for DAYS!” Fish husband: “I… I promise to be gentle.” Cat husband: “Step aside. She’ll choose who she wants.” Albino Lizard husband: “If mating will stabilize her lifespan, then I will do it.” Bird husband: “HEY! Don’t volunteer yourself first!” From then on, her lifespan would continue to increase, but at what cost? ==== Disclaimer: this is a REVERSE HAREM, meaning the female lead doesn’t need to choose. • • Follow my IG @Zenanicher
