survival

Yet again, Earthlings were summoned. A dying Time God, already half-corrupted, descended upon Earth with nothing but a single, blinking eye. No body. No mercy. Before he could explain why the other world was collapsing—or what happened—he died. The chosen were cursed. Each Earthling aged from 12 to 60 was reincarnated into another world. Each was trapped in an isolated time loop. Each was abandoned without answers. Ganesh chose to reincarnate as the weakest race imaginable: a slime. Not for survival—but because the system offered him a trait, very powerful: Eternal Mastery [Mythic]. With every death, his body reset. With every loop, his masteries, learned techniques, and pain carried over. He awakened in a slime farm, where slimes were bred like cattle, harvested for food, and burned alive for amusement. He learned quickly. He died quickly. Again. And again. And again. Across loops, Ganesh experimented with his own existence— Fire Slime {Uncommon}. Water Slime {Uncommon}. Acid Slime {Uncommon}. Elemental Slime {Rare+}. Spirit Slime {Legendary}. Dragon Slime {Mythic}. Even Primordial Slime {Divine}. But strength revealed truth. Humans had erased their own history using sealed artifacts. Demons were branded as betrayers. Gods fought unholy beings elsewhere—leaving their failures behind. Beneath ruined cities and sealed fortresses, eldritch creatures waited— Rituals granted power along with a curse. Artifacts erased wills. Faith was devoured before it could bloom. And the deeper Ganesh went, the clearer it became: The world had lost hope and was corrupted with Eldritch. Even the sun and moon were taken over by Eldritch. Now, as gods fall, timelines fracture, and ancient wars resurface, Ganesh must decide— Will he save the world Or will he follow the same path… and become something unholy himself?

[Mature Content] [18+ Only] [Smut] "Then let's dissolve our mate bond and reject each other! That way, you can make Claire your official Luna!" Addison's chest rose and fell violently, her breaths ragged with fury. "Who said you could leave? You are MINE!" Zion turned feral and took Addison back to their chambers and ravaged her for three days and three nights... "I'll make sure you're tied to this bed, and your legs are so weak you won’t even be able to stand," Zion snarled, pinning her down. His dark eyes flickered with gold, a clear sign that his wolf was watching her from just beneath the surface. ... Because they never truly tried to understand each other, their relationship was filled with misunderstandings. Zion, blinded by his petty pride and desire for revenge, refused to defend himself. He wanted Addison to pay for what he believed she owed him, but that very resentment became his own downfall. Addison, on the other hand, couldn’t wait forever for him to let go of his hatred and pain. She was ready to walk away. But when she finally disappeared from his world, Zion lost his mind. He turned his own pack upside down in a desperate bid to avenge the abuse and torture she had suffered. Yet it was too late—she was gone. And worst of all, he never had the chance to tell her the truth: the pup in the other woman's belly wasn’t his. He couldn’t openly reveal it either, because that woman held a special status they couldn’t afford to offend. Zion had sent Addison away to protect her from being killed, but his pride had cost him everything. Hurting her became his greatest regret—one that overshadowed even the death of his father, the former Alpha. But the Moon Goddess had other plans. Their paths crossed once again. And then, Zion saw her. No, them. Addison had a son. No—she had sons. There was another one. Regret clawed at him. He had once taunted her, wanting to break her, but now all he wanted was to make amends—to reclaim the family he had lost. But how? The gap between them was wider than ever. She wasn’t someone he could simply walk up to anymore. Would he ever get the chance to fix what he had broken? Or would Addison choose the mate her father, the Alpha King, had picked for her? After all, she wasn’t just anyone—she was the Alpha King’s only daughter, destined to be the first female Alpha King in history.

A young boy, abandoned by fate and unblessed by any sect, walks a forbidden path to survive. Through blood, betrayal, and relentless will, he becomes a demonic cultivator feared by the world. Standing beside him are four loyal servants he treats as brothers and sisters , bound not by fate but by shared suffering. As he climbs toward the peak of power, he learns that strength demands sacrifice—and that the path to supremacy is paved with darkness he can never escape.

After reaching the peak of cultivation, Sai is reborn and abandons his pursuit of absolute power to walk the Dao of Teaching instead. In a declining sect, he accepts disciples from unlikely paths and guides them not through brute strength, but through understanding—of the Dao, of themselves, and of the cruel world they now belong to. But fate does not change quietly. Assassinations, hidden schemes, and forces moving from the shadows begin to tighten around the Four-Leaf Clover Sect. Each disciple is pushed toward choices that will scar their bodies, fracture their identities, and shape their destinies forever. In this world, survival is not decided by talent alone, but by how much one is willing to lose to keep moving forward. This is a story about balance and corruption, loyalty and manipulation, and the price of walking against the current of Heaven. This is an original work.

Snow bites deeper than steel, and cages leave scars no eyes can see. Q97 is not a boy with a name—he is a number, an experiment carved from cruelty in the underground labs by vampires. In a world where hybrids are treated as disposable tools, his only hope is escape. Guided by the secret writings of those who came before him, he follows a path dug by rabbits and buried in whispers, chasing freedom through tunnels that lead toward human lands. But freedom has a price: the moment he crosses the border, he can never return. Never again to the castle’s red spires. Never again to the rose garden. Never again to the one vampire who gave him warmth when the world froze him numb. Sir Draven—the quiet gardener with golden eyes who carved clumsy little sculptures of ice just for him. Roses that melted by morning. A kindness that should not have existed. A memory Q97 cannot take with him, yet cannot leave behind. This is not a story of quick love or easy salvation. It is a slow journey of survival, longing, and fragile bonds that burn against the cold. A tale for those who believe that even in the darkest experiments, even under cages and snow, a single rose can bloom. ***** This is a slowburn, character-driven story. If you love emotional depth, healing & growing arcs, and found-family themes, this is for you. Stick around past chapter 10, that's when the heart of the story begins to unfold. Warning: mpreg, almost all male experiments have wombs. Please proceed with caution if you are uncomfortable. Romance will start when MC is older, Thank you ^^

The heavens sealed a power so forbidden it could rewrite creation. Then a dying divine beast placed it into the hands of a nobody… and fate cracked. Qi Shan Wei was born in a forgotten corner of the mortal world—meant for an ordinary life, an ordinary death. But in a single encounter, he inherits a fragment of the Prismatic Divine Core, an impossible legacy hunted for millions of years by immortal sects, ancient clans, and beings who rule stars like kingdoms. That fragment is not a gift. It is a summons. From the moment it awakens, the cosmos turns its gaze toward him—fate-bending spirits, heavenly geniuses, realm-devouring gods… all drawn by the rumor of a power that commands the seven Prismatic Forces that govern existence itself. To survive, Shan Wei must break through faster than the age can comprehend. To rise, he must master laws that were never meant for mortals. To rule, he must uncover the prophecy buried in the forgotten heavens—one that dares to speak of an Eternal Emperor who will decide which realms live… and which are erased. From mortal dust to celestial supremacy— this is the legend of Qi Shan Wei, the man who will make the heavens kneel. © Kishtika., 2025 All rights reserved.
