survival

In an urban world where strength defines everything, Ares Roshin, a mere D-rank hunter, is nothing but a speck of dust in the eyes of the powerful. Abandoned by his elite family and ridiculed by society, he struggles to survive in a world that worships strength and discards the weak. But when he's dragged into a brutal government experiment, one designed to create the ultimate hunter to rival all elites, Ares is forced into a deadly experiment where survival is the only rule. Against monstrous creatures, twisted trials, and enemies far beyond his league, he must push past his limits or be erased from existence. They called him worthless. They made him a monster and they will suffer for it

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.

One minute, Penelope is laying in a hospital bed accepting her fate, and the next she transmigrated into a post-apocalyptic novel. What? The opening scene was a famous one where she drugged the male lead and plotted against him. The male lead hated the original owner and wanted to kill her. First Step: Stay away from the male lead. Second Step: Stay away from the female lead. Easy, right? Wrong. Why are both leads determined to be around me?

Logging out was supposed to be simple. Except I, Eunji, an ordinary girl, somehow woke up inside the body of my MMORPG's number one male avatar, Leonhart. Now I've got six-pack abs, a voice that sounds like it could narrate epic movie trailers, and a sword so big I can barely lift it without auto-assist. Sure, Leonhart was a legend at the top of the leaderboards... but I'm just me. A girl who used to hide behind filters, complain about lag, and farm slimes for fun. To make things worse? The monsters bleed. The pain is real. And every poor slime I kill looks like it belongs in a children's plushie store. Oh, and apparently rival guilds want to fight me for "glory" while I'm still figuring out how to walk without tripping over my own armor. It's the ultimate isekai nightmare: stuck in the body of my OP male avatar, trying not to cry every time I swing my oversized sword. Can I survive this new world without embarrassing myself, or will Leonhart's flawless reputation crumble under the weight of... me?

With zero knowledge of the Naruto universe, Linto is suddenly reincarnated into Konoha as an Uchiha—on the very night of the clan's massacre. Luckily for him, he arrives equipped with a JOJO Stand System. Taijutsu fight? Summon Star Platinum! Long-range battle? Call Weather Report! Need for speed? Activate Made in Heaven! One by one, powerful Stands manifest behind him. But as his power grows, so does the list of people who want him dead. Itachi Uchiha wants him eliminated. Danzo wants him for experimentation. Obito wants him silenced. Even Madara Uchiha sees him as a threat. Linto soon realizes his enemies aren't just a few individuals—it's the entire twisted, cannibalistic world he's landed in. "If you refuse to be a master of power," Obito tells him, "you are doomed to be its slave. That is the immutable rule of the ninja world." "But just because a rule exists, does that make it right?" Linto makes his choice: "If this world is broken, then I will shatter it and build a new one." His goal is simple: to make people live like human beings.

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.

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.

Nicholas Blackheart died with no regrets. A brilliant Genetic Surgeon in his previous life, he dragged the man responsible for his death into the abyss with him and expected oblivion. Instead, he woke up inside his favourite novel. Not as the protagonist. Not as the villain. Not even as a supporting character. He became Nicholas Blackheart, a name mentioned only once in the entire story before being forgotten forever. To make matter worse the world he entered was already doomed. The novel had been so successful that several comics and games were created with alternate endings. But again and again, heroes rose to stop the Cult of Satan. Again and again, they failed. Even when they succeeded, something worse happened. In the main ending where they managed to kill Satan, the battle awakens a fallen god that lays waste to their world. In some endings where the heroes managed to destroy Satan's Vessel, he simply possessed the protagonist, and everyone gets slaughtered immediately after. In one of the games Nick personally played where he managed to destroy Satan without awakening any of the fallen gods... guess what 72 dukes popped right after and the slaughter commenced anyway. Every ending... no matter how creative led to extinction. Nicholas knows this because he played every route, read every chapter, and witnessed every ending. There is no happy ending. So unlike the protagonist, he has no intention of saving the world. His goal is simple: Survive. Blessed with the Soul Ability Adapt, Nicholas discovers a terrifying path to power. By grafting the organs, blood, bones, and tissues of monsters into his own body, he can permanently inherit fragments of their abilities. Each graft makes him stronger. Each graft makes him less human. As ancient gods stir, daemonic cults spread, and reality itself begins to fracture, Nicholas starts building something of his own from the shadows. A future beyond the apocalypse. A path no one in the original story ever walked. Because when the end of the world finally arrives, Nicholas Blackheart doesn't plan to be one of its victims. He plans to be long gone.

Xiang Kui vs System: Xiang Kui: See, I have successfully performed my role well! System: (gave even more difficult character to perform again and again) Xiang Kui: *send blades to the system* System: (looking at the more outrageous script under Xiang Kui’s hand and fell flat on the ground, not wanting to take a look even for another second) At some other time Xiang Kui: What’s with that Jun Lin? System: *looks away* Xiang Ku: *sneer* System: (saw the weapon that Xiang Kui took out, shocked, and directly cried) Wooo, I don’t want this host!

And whenever such creatures appear, hunters rise to face them. Hunters are strong, brave, and righteous guardians of nature… except when things go a little sideways.

Your next line will be—" Shield Hero: "Heavy bowguns turn fights into turn-based RPGs." Kazuma: "As a Long Sword main, not carting is the victory!"
