survival

Terra II, a world split into vast planes, where deserts stretch ceaselessly and horrors—roamed without rest. It is a land scarred by self made nightmares that never fade. The Common Era, where the concept of happiness has been abandoned. No story begins with joy, and none end with peace. One mistake—a misplaced word, a fleeting gesture—is all that it took. Strength was never the problem. You survived long enough to know that looking strong, feeling strong, and being strong are three different lies people tell themselves to keep moving. Terra is heavy. The roads are long and boundless like the deserts. And family...family—that has been stripped away. Once? Twice? no, Thrice? You’ve walked. You’ve run. You’ve shot at everything. You've seen your friends perish away, your self-made family rotting away, and how do you cover it? By carrying a carload of supplies through every kind of conceivable catastrophe. ———————— I'm pretty nervous how this version will be received and since i went for both magic and a modern setting. I'm not really good as creating things so i took inspiration from some well known media, so if it seems familiar, i tried as best i could to make it my own. but idk. Lets see, it starts to pick up the pace slowly. It's a slow born sort of thing. short ass rant, lol. Kristen out, peace.

**2025 WSA Participant** She was meant to fade into the background—until she rewrote the ending. Delphia Vosswell was supposed to be a forgotten side character in someone else’s happily-ever-after. Cast aside by her fiancé, ridiculed by the court, and labeled a villainess, her future was meant to be one of quiet disgrace. But when a woman from another world awakens in Delphia’s body, everything changes. Armed with sharp intellect and a will of steel, she refuses to be a footnote in someone else’s story. With wit, charm, and careful strategy, the new Delphia begins to reclaim her name—and reshape the world around her. Yet as she carves a new path for herself, one man complicates everything. Archmage Zypher Thorne—clever, unreadable, and unexpectedly kind—sees through the masks she wears. What begins as a wary alliance deepens into something far more dangerous: a bond she hadn’t planned for, and a tenderness that threatens to unravel her carefully guarded heart. But love was never part of her plan… and neither were the forces working against her from the shadows. In a world of secrets, masks, and manipulation, Delphia must decide what she’s truly willing to risk—not just for power, but for something far more fragile: trust.

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...)

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. Reader Notice If you like the story but don’t like harem: fuck off. This story has harem. If you like the story but don’t like gore: fuck off too. This story has gore. The tags are there. If you don’t like it, read the tags and don’t read the story. Simple as that. I’m not changing the story to please everyone. It was written this way from the start. If you want to read early chapters, they will be available on my Patreon. I’m not promising 10 or 20 chapters ahead — maybe just a few, maybe more later — but there will be early content there. I’m taking my time with this story because I want it to be good, not rushed. That takes time, revision, and proper development. If this kind of story is for you, welcome. If not, just move on.

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 has protected her brother Midas from bullies all her life with her Plant ability but must keep her true strength and her relationship with Sil a secret while growing her team. With new friends and trying to decide if people really can be trusted, she fights to protect the family she built with Sil while trying to discover the truth about herself and her heritage. All chapters are currently released but the story has room for expansion. At this moment, 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 story is currently under a revision as the original protagonist has been given her own story outside the Talenverse. The names have already been changed but some events still need to be changed or removed. There is a "spacer" chapter to denote editing. Audience aged 16 and up as some trauma is SA. It's not graphically described but it's enough to understand what happened. This will go away after the revisions are complete as the villain responsible for this behavior is being swapped out..

Living a rather mundane life, William Sigerson, a rising detective, finds himself tangled in a secretive mastermind's scheme to bring destruction to his world, changing his life forever. Wrongly framed as the culprit while investigating the crimes, he must first escape the clutches of the Enforcers, before leaving his country to form his own counterattack against the enemy.  Unfortunately for Sigerson, the opponent he's up against is far beyond his expectations. Alliances snap, war erupts, and chaos takes over the world, as he struggles to adapt to the constant fighting between countries with rebels and smaller criminal gangs all struggling among themselves to gain power for themselves. Zeppelins fly around like giant balloons, wreaking havoc. Steam-powered war machines shred through towns with ease. Soldiers ravage through the once peaceful lands of Ecclesia and Revalty alike, destroying towns and cities as the leaders of both countries go back and forth in the war, exchanging blows like chess pieces. Seeking shelter in a neighbouring country seems safe... until he finds out that everything had been planned from the beginning in order to trap him there. To defeat the demon pulling the strings, he must change his mindset to win. To dominate. Even if it means becoming a demon himself. WHAT TO EXPECT: A smart MC who doesn't act like a genius in one scene then finds himself outsmarted by a toddler Strategy. A lot of it. In fact, most of the story is actually one large scheme made up of tinier strategies with war elements involved. Worldbuilding. I'll try my best to provide as much detail and backstory on the different countries mentioned in the story. And lastly, puzzle solving for those who like brain twisters... Chapters are published every Monday and Friday

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!

My Life as a Retail Worker follows Layla, a hardworking retail employee trying to survive the daily chaos of Pick Your Product—a struggling local store where drama, gossip, and management disasters are just part of the job description. When a strict new manager arrives with ruthless rules and a talent for intimidation, the fragile balance among the staff begins to crack. As tensions rise, alliances shift, and the threat of closure looms closer than ever, Layla finds herself caught between keeping the peace, protecting her co-workers, and holding on to the job that keeps her afloat. Told with humour, heart, and sharp observations about working life, this story explores what happens when ordinary people are pushed to their limits—and whether teamwork, resilience, and a little rebellion can save more than just a store.

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?

As he flees across Europe, he realizes he isn't the only "User" being groomed by an extradimensional entity to become something far worse than a mere killer.
