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. 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. Out of respect, I want to properly credit the source of my inspiration below: Original Story Title: Pyroclasm (Young Justice SI) Original Author: Fulcon Original Story Link: https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/pyroclasm-young-justice-si.664558/ If you enjoyed this story, I highly recommend checking out the original work and supporting its author.

I'm looking at 300+ chapters once the story done. Current drops are 1 chapter every other day. 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 protected her brother Midas from bullies all her life with her Plant ability but was forced to keep her true strength and her relationship with Sil a secret while growing her team. With new friends and learning to trust, she fights to protect the family she built 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 found a female he was interested in but kept it a secret.

After obtaining the Mech Designer System, Ves aims to create the greatest mechs in the galaxy! In the far future, the galactic human civilization has entered the Age of Mechs. The countless lesser powers of humanity have come to adopt mechs as their main weapons of war. Only a small number of humans have the right genetic aptitude to pilot these destructive war machines the size of buildings. Born to a military family in the edge of the galaxy, Ves Larkinson is one of the many people who lacks the talent to earn glory in battle. Instead, he became a mech designer. Helped by his missing father, Ves has obtained the mysterious Mech Designer System that can help him rise in the galaxy and beyond. His mechs based on the principles of life quickly allows him to rise to prominence. Powerful and highly compatible with mech pilots, his products have the potential to take the market by storm. However, success does not come easily, and countless challenges bar his ability to sell his mechs to a market eager for innovation! With the sins of the human race in the galactic arena slowly catching up, Ves must navigate the perils of the ultra-competitive mech market and maintain control over his growing organization of misfits. This is the golden age of mechs. This is the golden age of humanity. The question is, will it last?

Demonic beings run rampant, and cultivators revere the bizarre as the Heavenly Dao. For an ordinary mortal to embark on the path of cultivation, they must gouge out their eyes, sever their limbs, and cut off their spiritual roots… Ren Qing, who transmigrated into this world, discovers that he can bypass the gruesome costs of cultivation thanks to a Divine Ability. [Blindless Method]: By devouring eyes, he cultivates to the peak, growing one hundred and six celestial eyes all over his body. [Poison Bone Art]: Soak one's skeleton in poisonous water for thirty-six days, then reimplant it into the body. At full mastery, no life can grow for a hundred li around him. [Book of the Dead]: Seal the Lao Gong, Yong Quan, Shen Men, and Yin Tang acupoints with iron nails and bury oneself underground for three years. Upon completion, one becomes ageless, undying, and indestructible. --- Alternative Titles: Weird Way of Immortality: I Can Avoid the Price Cultivation: Tax Evasion

When the tournament began, they took two hundred and nineteen participants were united and divided into two teams. One of those teams was good, the other bad. Only one side, or at the very worst, one participant will survive.

Set in the Shadow Slave world...a time before Sunny was born...this story follows a simple soldier who must survive in a dystopian, apocalyptic landscape where magic and gun warfare collide. In a far-off Quadrant known as North America, a young soldier named Hope is 16 years old when he gets infected by the Nightmare Spell. He passed! But...he feels a bit scammed...? A flaw that makes him fade from people's memories... A cursed attribute that makes him remember everything endlessly in eternal wakefulness... It's as if the Spell is twisting his future and existence into an almost improbable one. All he has ever known his purpose to be was to serve as a simple soldier. Not too powerful. But not so weak either. And maybe, just maybe like some others, become an Awakened. Although he never dreamt of being one. Now that his whole life is compromised after his First Nightmare, his first objective is to survive on his own. But as he tries to escape his fate, his actions seem to lead him further from his goal. He struggles against obstacles that slowly grow bigger and out of proportion. Maybe the Dream Realm and the Real World aren't so different than one may think. Hope's journey involves uncovering secrets and gaining knowledge about his true nature and his new role in the world. Is he fit to be a hero? Could he redefine it? *** Please read the READER DISCLAIMER in Volume 0. This is my spin-off novel of "Shadow Slave" by Guiltythree. But please don't expect the same writing style, setting, and characters, especially the main character. This story reveals more about how people/cities/governments operate after the Spell’s arrival. I always find it interesting how maybe one country handles it fairly, but how others handle it with desperation to the point that you question humanity. There will be easter eggs pointing to the original novel either intentional for the plot or unrelated to it, but all for fun. I am a new author so props to all who bear with me and helps me improve my writing. If it is not for you, please don't leave outright hate comments. Eat wassabi instead if you want pain. Critique and advice would be great too. Cover Art: @ellieaedon I will be posting on RoyalRoad.com and on AO3 for some people's preferences.

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.

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.

Laura Charles has to keep her head down. To work. To keep her carefully built walls up. Because last time they weren't? She lost everything. Now, coming to work as a ladies' maid for a noble family, she has to walk the delicate line between the wings, carefully concealing her past. She can't let anything shake her. Aleksi Kazarin is in a new country. A new house. One where he doesn't speak the language and they aren't exactly welcoming. He thinks this was a colossal mistake, until she arrives. A stuck up woman who has absolutely no interest in him? What could be more fun than to get on her nerves? They're terrible for each other, and yet, neither of them seems to be able to stay away.

Ender traveled to the world of Swallowed Star. If possible, he would have loved to cling to the protagonist Luo Feng’s leg, but all he knew was that his planet belonged to the Molten Rock Empire—he knew nothing else. Fortunately, he possessed an extraordinary comprehension of the innate laws and 32 times the initial gene level as his starting advantage. This allowed him to rise from an ordinary cultivation planet within the Molten Rock Empire to the stage of the Universe Pinnacle Genius Battle. At that point, he discovered that this version of Swallowed Star was somewhat different from what he remembered— “What? Humans have 1,004 universe countries?!” “What? The strongest participant in this Universe Pinnacle Genius Battle is Kedi?!” Only then did Ender realize that he had traveled too far back in time—even Luo Feng’s future teacher, King Zhenyan, had not yet been born. Traveled too far? It didn’t matter. Ender claimed that he possessed a legacy—one even stronger than Luo Feng’s—and that in the future, he would stand above the God King! Note: The protagonist has both talent and inheritance, and the author has only read Swallowed Star! Only read Swallowed Star! Only read Swallowed Star! (Important things should be said three times.) The protagonist will be upgraded in Chaos City, a clone will appear later, and the protagonist should not be treated as a typical transmigrator. (Foreword: Please do not consider the protagonist a normal Transmigrator, as normal Transmigrators do not lose their memories...)

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.

Lin Yunfeng screwed up. Big time. One mistake. That’s all it was. A stupid, drunken mistake. So why the hell was Ren Muchen chasing him down a creepy-ass abandoned hallway like a maniac?! "You slept with me and ran? Fine! Let’s see how long you last!" Uh, yeah. No thanks. Yunfeng ran faster, heart pounding—until he skidded to a stop. Right in front of a half-rotten zombie. "Oh, come on!" Before he could even process his impending doom, the thing lunged. His life flashed before his eyes. Then—WHACK. A massive axe took the zombie’s head clean off. And just like that, Muchen was grabbing his collar, hauling him up like a ragdoll. "You’re not dying," Muchen said, looking way too smug for someone who just saved his life. "Not today. Not anytime soon." Yunfeng barely got his breath back before Muchen dropped the biggest bomb ever. "Because we’re having a baby." Wait. What?! Yunfeng clutched his stomach. "H-How do you know?!" "You KNEW?!" Muchen shook him like a damn rattle. "And you still ran? Take responsibility, you bastard! We made a life!" Well. Shit. There was officially no running from this.

One day a very strong solar flare hit the earth destroying the entire atmosphere. In just a span of a year, the entire world was completely tormented by earthquakes and tsunamis killing almost half of the population. And when humans thought it was the end, the monster appeared. Undead and mutated monsters hunted down the remaining humans. Weak end up as the prey and the strongest rule. Lin Yunfeng, a 25-year-old construction worker, was pulled into the whirlwind of this world when he stumbled upon the Monster Ender system by accident. With a system and a small godly beast in hand, he embarked on his journey to be number one. Because only the strongest can make the rules. He wanted to be the one at the top just so he can restore the balance of this world.

Raised as a hostage by the Order, Asher has paid the price for his parents alleged treason ever since they vanished during the Red Moon War. The elders taught him that vampires are soulless, immoral demons driven only by hunger- and they've hard wired him to hate the creatures his parents protected. But when a powerful vampire breeches the Order's stronghold, Asher grows to discover he's not the monster he thought he was, but a savior. He learns the truth too late: Vampires only drink the blood of those they choose to mate with. When this dangerous stranger claims him with a bite he's bonded to an enemy who might be the very key to finding his parents.

A Plant Master from a prosperous magical era died and reincarnated as a physically defective Sub-Beast on the Beastman Continent. Orphaned right after birth, he was raised by the entire tribe. Kaelen thought he would live a peaceful, uneventful life until the end of his days. Unexpectedly, during an instance where he accidentally wandered into a cave where a beastman was in a state of frenzy, he was violated by the beastman Sane. After that unintended night, neither of them liked the other, so they reached a secret agreement to keep the matter quiet. Sane took responsibility for providing Kaelen with daily necessities and various new seeds until one of them found a mate. Thanks to these supplies, Kaelen began using his Plant Master abilities from his past life to farm step by step, transforming the barren land around his house into a lush, little green farm. What Sane didn't expect was that the more he interacted with Kaelen, watching how quietly and gently Kaelen cared for each young sprout, the more adorable he found Kaelen to be. Sane grew to like being around Kaelen more and more, constantly reminiscing about the fresh scent of grass and vegetation lingering on Kaelen's body. Could it be... I've fallen for him? While Sane was still tangled up in his own feelings and had yet to realize that Kaelen's body was secretly gestating a little egg, Kaelen's bountiful magical harvests had already alerted the outside world. A whole bunch of stinky beastmen with formidable backgrounds began swarming around his soft, sweet-smelling darling to vie for Kaelen's attention. There was the incredibly arrogant Young Chief of the Lion Tribe, the fierce Intermediate Warrior of the High City, the Oracle of the Temple holding supreme authority... Sane: “...” Get lost, all of you! That's my son's Papa!

Haunted by addiction and a past he cannot escape, Acheron keeps his heart locked away — until Eamon Sauveterre, the powerful lawyer assigned to his case, steps into his life, unwilling to let him fall. Eamon is steady where Acheron trembles. Relentless, where Acheron wants to run.

It’s a warning. And the storm is coming.

By MoonboundInk In the year 3934, Earth stands on the edge of extinction. Centuries of human progress have solved every mystery—every disease cured, every question answered—yet peace has never been more distant. From the shadows of the Moon, an ancient extraterrestrial species awakens, claiming Earth as their birthplace and humanity as the infection that must be erased. Amid the wreckage of collapsing cities and burning skies, Danial, a lone survivor, runs from both death and destiny. Hunted by alien forces that bend the very laws of nature, he discovers a truth buried deep beneath humanity’s triumphs — one that ties his existence to the Moonborn invaders themselves. Now, in a world consumed by chaos, Danial must choose between survival and sacrifice, between the remnants of humanity and the origins of the species that doomed it. Because the war for Earth isn’t about domination anymore — it’s about who deserves to live.

Hundreds of years ago, the world almost ended — and no, I'm not talking about the usual stories of monsters appearing from nowhere and ravaging the land like in fantasy novels, but instead at the hands of humans first. The monsters only came afterwards. Once various humans began developing strange abilities, the world was plunged into war and chaos once again, the following years were filled with bloodshed and uncontrolled violence — with no definitive victor — and then the monsters attacked. A gargantic towershot out directly from the center of the planet, not long after smaller replicas followed in every major city around the world. The tower was both a boon and a curse to humanity, as it provided a way for those who awakened powers — the Enlightened, as we call them now — to grow stronger, becoming Ascenders. However, it also brought a flood of otherworldly races and monsters into our world. After hundreds of years, the world has finally stabilized, with four main countries acting as the dominant global powers. In this dangerous world, a lowly street rat who was lucky enough to achieve Enlightenment is flung into a life of dread, danger, and suffering. Kalon, begins life on the opposite end of this world from its privileged inhabitants. After experiencing Enlightenment, Kalon registers at an Ascender academy. He hopes to escape poverty, and live a better life, but his awakening reveals something far stranger than an ordinary supernatural ability. What mystery could Kalon uncover.

This is about a man who was given a second chance to do what he wants and live how he wanted in an apocalyptic type of anime mixed with other animes.
