survival

The world is no longer ruled by kings alone. Demons roam beyond the borders. Nobles whisper behind closed doors. And beneath every blade lies a power no one fully understands. Rain Ardent is an unremarkable survivor from a village reduced to ash. Quiet. Observant. Easy to overlook. Taken in by a squad of young fighters, he is thrown into a life of brutal training, dangerous missions, and fragile bonds formed in a world that does not forgive weakness. But war has patterns. People have tells. And the truth behind this world is far darker than anyone dares to admit. As the sky grows heavier with ash and the line between ally and enemy begins to blur, one question lingers: Is Rain simply trying to survive… or is he watching something no one else can see?

In the city of Threxa, Riven Thorn is just another ordinary boy. Poor, unnoticed, and dreaming of nothing greater than surviving tomorrow. That illusion shatters the night his village is slaughtered by werewolves led by the Alpha of the First Order, an ancient ruler believed to be untouchable. As chaos erupts, Riven’s mother, Tyrella, tries desperately to escape with him. They are ambushed. She is killed without mercy. Broken by grief and rage, Riven charges the monsters that destroyed his life—only to be struck down, his throat torn open, left to die in the dirt. But death does not claim him. Standing over his dying body, the Alpha commits a forbidden act thought impossible—he bites a human. Riven survives. And everything changes. Across the Four Werewolf Orders, a long-forgotten prophecy resurfaces: A human-turned-werewolf will rise, slaughter the Alphas, and reign as the Supreme Alpha. Fear spreads like wildfire. To werewolf society, Riven is an abomination neither fully human nor fully wolf. Before he can grow into the prophecy, the Orders unite with one goal: kill him first. Reborn into the lowest rank of werewolves, hunted relentlessly from the shadows, Riven begins a brutal journey of survival. He must master his unstable powers, control his transformations, and climb a ruthless hierarchy through blood-soaked battles one rank at a time. Each victory drags him deeper into the hidden world of werewolves, while pulling him further away from the humanity he once knew. By day, he struggles to live as a normal boy. By night, he becomes a monster feared by his own kind. As secrets behind the Orders unravel, Riven learns the prophecy may not be about destiny but choice. To reign supreme, he must defeat all Four Alpha Lords, shatter centuries of werewolf rule, and decide what he truly is: A human cursed by power… or a king forged by it.

​The world, Earth, was devastated by the Great Incursion, an apocalyptic invasion by dimension-hopping monsters. Humanity's only hope now lies in Galaxy Fall, a newly accessible parallel world where they can gain strength through a System of quests and missions. ​Five hours after the Invasion, the betrayed survivor Mirabella is mysteriously reborn and gains a unique power: the [Master Account System]. Her initial skill is the deceptively simple but devastating 'Multiplier x100', which applies a 100 times buff to all her offensive capabilities, including physical attacks, spirit energy skills, and damage-over-time effects. ​Mirabella must now transform from a silent survivor into the world's most feared warrior, who was only scared of one thing, which is? "I Hope I don't run out of opponents in Both worlds."

In Dwarkam, people are not born equal. Some are born Halocrats, wrapped in power and worship. Some are born Gutterborn, taught to keep their heads down and their mouths shut. Zane Atlas was a Gutterborn. Eighteen years old. Hungry. Beaten. Invisible. The world taught him one rule early: Filth shouldn’t look up. When the Golden Slab descended from the sky, it gave power to those who caressed it. Most gained skills. Some gained status. Many gained hope. Zane gained something else. Something that was never meant to awaken. Something that watches before it judges. Something that acts only when survival is at stake. [ Conflux System ] It does not reward obedience. It grows through choices. And it can merge anything Zane owns… including his body, his instincts, and his will to survive. Now Zane walks a thin line between staying alive and being discovered. Between obeying a world that hates him and becoming something it must erase. The churches are watching. The crowns are stirring. The monsters are waking. And Zane is learning one terrifying truth: Sometimes, being chosen is worse than being powerless. ——— ——— ——— Support Me - ko-fi.com/khyaal Join My Discord For Reference Arts and much more - https://discord.gg/zmUcswM2N5

When the System descends, it does not choose heroes—it assigns roles. Ethan Vale is not given a blade, a spell, or a class built to kill. He is handed something far worse: management. In a ruined city where office workers become prey and the rules of survival twist into something cold and unreadable, Ethan can only classify the living, ration the dying, and interpret a System that seems less interested in saving people than in deciding how much they are worth. As monsters stalk the darkened halls and panic spreads through the remaining survivors, every command he issues carries a cost. Every person he marks, every resource he reallocates, every rule he bends drags him deeper into a nightmare where authority feels like a curse and structure is just another word for control. In this apocalypse, the most terrifying thing may not be what’s hunting them—but the fact that the System has already decided who can be used, who can be discarded, and who will be broken first.

Stranded. Alone. And transmigrated into the world of Pokémon. After a mysterious storm,Umihara Reiji wakes up on a deserted island—not in his own world, but the Pokémon world. No starter, no Poké Balls, no supplies. Just a sea breeze, an empty stomach… and the will to survive. But when he meets a struggling Poliwag, everything changes. With a unique Proficiency System that tracks everything—moves, abilities, even his own fishing and survival skills—every step forward is visible, measurable… and vital. It’s not about becoming a Champion. It’s just about surviving the next day... Notes regarding the worldbuilding: this story leans toward the anime version of the Pokémon world. The protagonist has watched the anime, read the manga, and played the games. He’s a knowledgeable fan. He's an adult, and will think like one—rational, skeptical, analytical. The early chapters of this story are slow-paced and heavily focused on survival—resource gathering, shelter-building, and forging a bond with Poliwag. Raw : "精灵：钓鱼佬的雨天队"

Cedric Hale was dying in a sterile hospital bed until he woke up beneath the iron-grey skies of the North, wearing the skin of a Dúnedain Ranger and speaking Sindarin as if it were his mother tongue. Transmigrated into the body of Halbarad’s kinsman just as the War of the Ring ignites, he carries the "Morgul Pact"—a parasitic system that harvests the essence of betrayal and despair to forge a "Crown of Ash and Shadow." While he rides with Aragorn and the Grey Company, the system urges him to convert genuine bonds into "teeth" for his dark crown, granting him the supernatural ability to see the "Kinslayer’s Insight" in every ally. Now, as the fleet sails toward the burning fires of Minas Tirith, Cedric must decide if he will become a rival to the Witch-king or use the "Ranger’s Last Choice" to shatter his own dark divinity for a world that may never thank him.

I have been reborn in France, and luckily, I have the identity of the Crown Prince. The downside is that the current king is Louis XVI, and in two years, he will be guillotined. Since my father and the ministers can’t be trusted, I’ll have to take matters into my own hands and reorganize France myself. First, I’ll make some money, just enough to solve the financial crisis that has plagued the country for centuries. Then, I’ll strike hard at the nobles with ill intentions who seek to usurp power. After that, I’ll seize the vast lands held by the church, which sits idle. Industry, technology, agriculture, and commerce will thrive together. I will be the greatest Crown Prince France has ever seen! Thank you for the support, friends. If you want to read more chapters in advance, go to my Patreon.

Death by overwork? Check. Isekai’d into a glittery kingdom called Aelthryndivoryssalindria, yes, that's the name but I call it Aelthryn, because who has time for that? Double check. All I wanted was a soft life filled with pastries, naps, and no husband. But five years into my new life as Princess Elyndravyssorathielindria Sylvarindelthys—Elyn, please, God knows why the names are so difficult to pronounce—my father demands I marry. But explain to me why all the potential suitors look like they were picked up from the fucking gutter? I kid you not. one of them literally suggested teaching me to ride a horse and guess who found out he could not ride one at all and at the end of the day cried begging for his mother...me. And that's just one. There's also the fact that I don't want to even get married. So in a panic, after scaring my suitors away, I tell my father I'm in love with Zorathys Vaelkyrion. What I didn't plan for was the fact that Zorathys is real, he’s at our annual ball, and he’s calling me his lover to settle Dad’s debts. Now I’m stuck in the Underworld, managing Hell’s paperwork, babysitting demon nobles, and dodging a giant snake with a sweet tooth. Oh, and Zor? A lazy, body-pillow-hugging tease who makes my heart race. Worse, every escape portal dumps me in his bedroom, and he’s not so bad. But when I stumble into a plot to overthrow him, my soft-life dreams might cost me everything—unless I fight for the husband I never wanted. Send help please, I just wanted a soft life and not a demon husband.. --------------------- "...you can't marry my daughter," my father said to the demon king and I nodded. "...she...she's gay. Yes," he said with a nod like that was the most reasonable explanation ever. "She's into girls." I was shocked and stared at him then back at the demon king who paused. Maybe this could work after all. I nodded too, supporting my father's words. The demon king smiled then. "What good taste you have, there's a reason why we belong to each other after all. I'm into women too." What?

[Congratulations, Terran survivor #99598, for activating the Universe Assistance System!] Althea, along with the remaining 1% of the population of their home planet, stared at the holographic screen in front of them in confusion. Their galaxy was apparently ending, and suddenly announcements from an alien system appeared in their heads, telling them they would be permanently transferred to another world. The survivors were all very depressed. First, they were forced to survive in a zombie apocalypse, and now they had to survive a new world altogether? It just so happened that Althea was one of the few people who got the Lord Token, the ticket to controlling a territory---a supposed safe haven for her people. Althea looked at her very large stomach and sighed at an unknown future. Would she be able to build a good home for her children? And... would she and her husband find each other again? #Apocalypse, #Josei, #Romance, #BeautifulFL, #HandsomeML, #PowerCouple, #Infrastructure, #MagicSpace, #KingdomBuilding, #Adventure, #Pregnancy, #Game Elements, #System #LitRPG ____ Now an E-BOOK~!

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.
