survival

Bullied, broken, and forgotten in his old world, Eragon lived a life defined by weakness and regret. At school, he was targets until the day their world ended. Summoned to a new realm of magic and monsters, they are hailed as heroes destined to defeat the Demon King. Though granted no flashy powers, they awaken with bodies stronger, faster, and far more adaptable than the people of this world. Humans, elves, dwarves, beastfolk, demons all coexist in a fragile balance, and the arrival of the summoned heroes threatens to tip it. To defeat the Demon King, the heroes must conquer deadly dungeons and claim the Elemental Rings, ancient artifacts guarded by dungeon lords. Each ring grants power, authority, and recognition and each one pushes the heroes further from the people they once were. As former bullies and victims stand on equal ground, alliances fracture and true strength is revealed. While others chase power for pride or revenge, Eragon fights to erase the version of himself that once begged to survive. With every dungeon conquered and every ring claimed, the boy he was dies. And in his place rises something new. A true hero.

A gamer wakes up inside his favorite game DESTINY as its most hated, cursed NPC—Kel von Rosenfeld. Doomed to die in the first arc, he now carries the knowledge of the entire game. To survive, he must defy destiny itself and rise from disgrace to absolute power.

In the future, humanity survives on the edge of extinction. Mysterious dimensional rifts known as Infinite Domains appear across the world, releasing powerful monsters that can only be defeated by Hunters. When these creatures die, they leave behind rare “Genes” that humans can absorb to evolve and gain supernatural abilities. But there is one absolute rule: A human body can only absorb ten genes in a lifetime. Exceeding that limit means instant death. Kael Veyron is the weakest Hunter alive. Born without a single gene talent, mocked by society, and unable to protect anyone, he struggles just to survive. Yet he refuses to give up, because three years ago, his parents vanished inside the Infinite Domain, leaving behind only one mystery: Why did they risk everything to enter it? During a deadly monster attack, when Kael stands at the brink of death, a forbidden power awakens within him. The Infinite Gene Devour System. Unlike anyone else, Kael can absorb unlimited genes, devour monster abilities, and evolve endlessly. But every evolution comes with a terrifying cost. The stronger he becomes, the more his humanity begins to fade. As Kael climbs from the weakest Hunter to an existence beyond human limits, he uncovers the dark truth behind the Infinite Domain, the origin of the gene system, and the shocking secret connected to his parents’ disappearance. In a world where evolution decides survival… Will he become humanity’s savior? Or its ultimate monster?

Synopsis: "Echoes of the Self" In a world plagued by monstrous invasions from mysterious realms, every person is born with a unique skill to survive. For our protagonist, his gift is the power of cloning—an ability that allows him to create hundreds, even thousands, of copies of himself. However, there's a catch: the clones are only as strong as he is. They don't grow stronger on their own; only his personal growth can empower them. Living an ordinary life, our protagonist navigates this brutal world, constantly striving to strengthen himself. But everything changes when he's suddenly transported to an unfamiliar world—one teeming with magic, inherited abilities, and powerful beings beyond his imagination. In this world, magic is commonplace, and danger lurks in every shadow. Isolated, unable to communicate, and terrified of betrayal, he faces a grim reality: survival is a constant battle, and trust is a luxury he can't afford. Determined to return to his original world, he devises a plan: build an organization where loyalty is absolute. An organization where he is both the leader and the army. Using his cloning ability, he creates a legion of himself—an unstoppable force that answers only to him. Each clone is an extension of his will, incapable of betrayal. As he trains, his clones grow stronger, and his organization expands, becoming a formidable power in this new world. But power breeds enemies, and as he rises, he must confront challenges that test not just his strength, but his very identity. Can he lead an army of himself to conquer this world and find his way back home? Or will the echoes of his own self be his greatest enemy? "Echoes of the Self" is a story of survival, trust, and the relentless pursuit of power—where the greatest ally and the deadliest threat are one and the same.

An ordinary college student seized a rare Essence Scroll and obtained control over the shadows, stepping onto the forbidden Shadow Path. Guided by the Essence Record, he begins his ascent through a world where power is never given - only taken.

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.

Elena Winter, daughter of Mr Raymond Winter, personal chef to the Ashford family, has always carried herself with quiet elegance. She dreams big, works hard, and believes that love only complicates life. Everything changes when she earns a scholarship to Crestwood Academy, a school built for the elite, where privilege rules and secrets spread fast. At first, Crestwood feels exciting. Then Elena crosses paths with Crown Prince Kaelith Altherion of Valeria, a boy raised on power and pride who expects the world to bend for him. Their worlds collide after she witnesses something she was never meant to see. Soon she is caught between danger, defiance, and a connection she refuses to acknowledge. Will Elena’s determination protect her, or will it pull her into a forbidden bond that could reshape her future? And will her beliefs about love survive the truth she uncovers? It was supposed to be a normal day at Crestwood Academy. Well, as normal as things ever get here, but that is a story for another time. I was on my way to Mr Wiston’s office to submit some papers, still thinking about what I had seen at Westwood University, when someone grabbed my arm and pulled me into the storage room. Before I could react, I found myself staring at the personal bodyguard of the crown prince. Yes, that crown prince. Kaelith Altherion of Valeria. The walking definition of arrogance, pride, and everything that goes wrong when someone grows up too rich. The bodyguard shut the door, looked straight at me, and delivered his message with all the attitude I expected. "His Majesty, Crown Prince Kaelith Altherion of Valeria, requests that you take these two thousand Valerian gold coins and forget everything you saw yesterday." I stared at him, lifted my chin, and smiled. My answer probably was not what he expected. "Since His Majesty is feeling generous, and since this is real life, not some romance story where the prince falls for the girl he tries to silence, I will not throw the money in your face. I will kindly help His Majesty spend it. And no, I am not forgetting anything." With that, I walked out.

Rosaline, a seemingly ordinary salesperson—but beneath the surface, she is a 'Hunter.' In a world where dungeons are 'catastrophes,' the life of a Hunter is never their own to choose.

Wondered if a cryptomining app would make you a Superhero..or villain? Damen Dark is an unfortunate orphan trapped in a cruel household, forced to endure the abuse of his uncle, his family, and a world that seems determined to break him. One ordinary day, he receives a mysterious link on his phone advertising a new app—DemCoin, a cryptocurrency mining program. Damen knows it’s probably a scam. But curiosity gets the better of him. At first, the app seems harmless. It “mines” coins by targeting living beings—stray animals… and people. With little expectation, Damen uses it as a private outlet for his bottled-up anger, siphoning coins from those who torment him: his family, his classmates, the bullies who rule the streets. It feels like justice. It feels good. But DemCoin is far more than a mining app. As Damen accumulates enough coins, hidden features unlock—features that allow him to target individuals and steal their powers. What begins as survival turns into temptation, and temptation into transformation. With every stolen ability, Damen grows stronger… and more dangerous. Now faced with unimaginable power, Damen must choose who he will become. Will he take revenge on a world that never showed him mercy, or rise as a hero to protect it? The truth lies somewhere in between. In a cruel twist of fate, Damen soon realizes the irony of power: the stronger he becomes, the greater the threats that hunt him. And worse still, DemCoin is not just a tool—it is a force, subtly guiding his path. Whether he knows it or not, the app isn’t shaping him into a savior. It is forging a supervillain. And Damen Dark may have no choice but to become exactly that.

He started out like most of the city’s sharp-eyed survivors — smart enough to scrape by, unscrupulous enough to survive. When a clandestine containment ritual detonates in a midnight market, everything changes: He wakes, not to the next day, but to a version of the same day he’s already lived, with tiny differences that only he notices. The first few resets feel like a cheat: knowledge borrowed from a future loop, enemies outmaneuvered, fortunes skimmed. It tastes like freedom. But the resets are not free. Certain things persist across loops — a scratched coin, a stray lullaby, a ledger he learns to keep — while other things blink: faces lose their edges, promises fray, love becomes a thing that blinks out at the worst moments. Worse still, he discovers this is not an accident.

Jin grew up peacefully with his grandfather, dreaming of becoming a wealthy farmer one day. But he never expected his life to be turned upside down in a single day. Will he be able to overcome the trials that await him, or will he submit to them and become a corrupted entity?

OSHI NO KO - STARS OF THE STAGE! Book/Series Description In the same Tokyo where Aqua and Ruby Hoshino pursue their destinies, another reincarnated soul burns with purpose far darker than stardom. Fuku Raito died twice—first as a broken person pushed onto train tracks at 36, second as the abused scapegoat whose own sister framed him for murder at 17. But death granted him reincarnation as Hoshino Kagayaku, son of idol Rina and talent manager Kasuke. For four precious years, he experienced genuine love. Then obsession wearing affection's face murdered his mother before his eyes. Six months later, his father discovered the truth: Kasuke's own brothers orchestrated Rina's death for insurance money. When confrontation turned violent, Kagayaku watched his father die protecting him, a blade piercing his back meant for him. Now sixteen and enrolled at Yotou High School—the same institution Aqua attends—Kagayaku enters the entertainment industry with a smile that hides black stars burning in his eyes. His target: the cousin he's never met, his uncle's son who believes he's owed the blood-soaked inheritance. To draw him out, Kagayaku must become what Fuku Raito only dreamed of being—a star bright enough to illuminate even the darkest corners where his "brother" hides. Alongside him walks Burst Shōgeki, a student whose red scarf conceals her own reincarnated trauma, her own murdered parents, her own stars that burn crimson and silver-white with rage and grief. As Aqua Hoshino pursues his revenge in the spotlight, Kagayaku hunts in the shadows of the same industry that destroyed them both. Two people carrying the burden of reincarnation. Two revenge quests running parallel. Two questions demanding answers: Does vengeance heal wounds or create new ones? And can someone who died twice ever truly live again? In this world, lies are love. Performance is survival. And stars burn black before they die.
