survival

He took seventy-two pills to end his misery. Instead, he woke up in a fantasy world as a prince—and became father to the very monsters destined to destroy humanity. Kain is twenty-two, homeless, and utterly broken. Abandoned by his parents, fired from his job, hunted by debt collectors—he swallows every pill he can find and waits for death. But death has other plans. He wakes as Prince Aldric, fifth heir of the Astravian Empire. The pills should kill him any minute. So he runs—far from royal politics—to an abandoned village on the empire's forgotten frontier. There, he finds orphaned children. Abandoned like him. Unwanted like him. He takes them in. Feeds them. Loves them. Becomes the father he never had. He doesn't know what they truly are. Each child is an apocalypse-born—a being destined to awaken and destroy humanity. The prophecy is written. The end is coming. And Kain, who blames his own miserable life on the father who abandoned him, refuses to abandon his children. He will protect them. Love them. Fight for them. Even if loving them means watching the world burn. Even if protecting them makes him the father of monsters. Even if his children will one day kill everyone. --- Because Kain knows one truth that prophets and heroes have forgotten: Monsters aren't born. They're made by a world that refused to love them. And this time, the world will pay for every child it threw away.

When the apocalypse began, Sara Harper should have been terrified. Instead, she felt alive. For years, she had been trapped in a life she hated—working, sleeping, and repeating the same routine until every day felt exactly the same. Then the world ended. The infected flooded the streets. Cities fell. Governments crumbled. Humanity was pushed to the brink of extinction. And for the first time, Sara felt free. Traveling through a broken world with a small group of survivors, Sara discovers friendship, danger, and an unexpected connection with a mysterious man who seems to know more about the outbreak than he's willing to admit. But as the infected grow stronger and terrifying secrets come to light, survival becomes about more than staying alive. Because sometimes the real monsters aren't the ones hunting outside. As the world descends deeper into chaos, Sara must decide what she's willing to fight for... and what she's willing to lose. The world ended. Her story was just beginning.

What do we all seek after a long day? Some may say wealth, others comfort… perhaps the embrace of a lover or the warmth of laughter among friends. Yet when everything is stripped away, there is one thing every living being longs for: Rest. To lie upon a soft bed, wrap ourselves in warmth, close our eyes, and surrender to the tranquility of sleep, hoping for blissful dreams to carry us away from the cruelty of reality. But what if sleep was the crueler reality? What if every time your eyes closed, you were dragged into another world? A world not of wonder, but of nightmares. A place where monsters hunt you endlessly and even rest itself becomes impossible. At first, it may sound like fantasy. Another world? An adventure? The dream of every reader. But think deeper. If you spend the day surviving one harsh world, only to spend the night surviving another… then when do you truly rest? When do you heal? When do you live? Such is the fate of Prince Idel . A frail, exhausted royal who wanders the Dream Realm every night for eternity. In one world, he is misunderstood. In the other, he is hated. to get more info about the world, power systems and the like, hit my Tic tok https://vm.tiktok.com/ZS92ku3TGugtN-2aGQj/

Lucas Hernandez was a marketing analyst with a bad knee until a distracted driver on Delancey Street turned his life into a literal cartoon. Transmigrated into the world of Kim Possible as an athletic teenager with a four-fingered animated body, Lucas discovers he’s bonded to the "Trope Architect System." In a reality governed by Saturday morning cartoon logic, he can see the invisible narrative threads that force villains to monologue and heroes to walk into traps. By spending "Narrative Points" to edit scripts in real-time or equipping "Trope Cards" to manipulate probability, Lucas is no longer just watching the show—he's the one directing it. But as his "Narrative Debt" climbs and his interventions start breaking the show's perfect win-loss record, he realizes that even in a world of slapstick and gadgets, the consequences of changing a story are very real.

Some debts do not disappear with death. When someone dies with something unresolved, they do not pass on. They remain. They decay. They become an entity born from the weight of what was left unfinished. Broken promises, hidden guilt, words never spoken… everything takes shape. Yüta never believed in it until the night he saw one of them staring back at him. Dragged into a secret network of hunters who defeat these entities in order to release them, he soon discovers that defeating them is not always the hardest part. Some want to be heard. Others seek revenge. And some believe humanity does not deserve to continue existing. In a world where every death leaves a crack, the question is not how to fight… but who has the right to decide what deserves to rest.

After watching Earth burn, Veneri, an immortal cursed with endless life, finally dies and wakes up in a world even more cruel than the one that killed him. Now reborn as Vastarael Richinaria, a prince of a famous dynasty, he’s thrust into the heart of Spheraphase, a realm broken by eternal wars, Epoch Cycles and the monstrous Krepsunas and gods. He should be powerful. He should be untouchable. But even here, happiness feels like a distant dream. Caught between ancient legacies, political warfare and a fate he's not sure he wants, Vastarael must decide: Will he rule with apathy... or become the destroyer of gods?

The weakest girl in the apocalypse accidentally became the obsession of multiple apex predators. Unfortunately for them, predators don’t share easily. Felicity was supposed to die on the first day of the apocalypse. Zombies devour the weak. Beastmen rule the ruins of human cities. Strength decides everything now. Felicity has none. Small, soft spoken, and completely unsuited for a world like this, she survives only because Victor finds her first. Victor is a winged apex predator feared by every beastman who crosses his path. He does not protect strangers. But once he chooses something… he does not let it go. Unfortunately for him, other predators have started noticing her too. A wolf who watches too quietly. A snake whose patience feels dangerous. A lion who refuses to leave her side. Predators who should never share anything. Except her. Because something about Felicity is changing them. And in a beast ruled apocalypse, predators were never meant to share. Unfortunately for them, Felicity might be worth learning how. https://discord.gg/FAeXFCxQ ___________ 150 golden tickets 3 chapters a day dragon gift = 4 extra chapters posted castle gift = 3 chapters posted for a week + you can kill any side character if u want. spacecraft gift = 4 chapters posted a day for a week + you can make a character either it be the next husband or next bestie. gachapon gift = you can either kill a member of snow team (not sarge or tommy) or promote even the weakest member of snow or leaf team to husband role and you get to tell me what the next 10 chapters should focus around (within my rules of course)

(Multiple transmigrators — enter at your own discretion) (Non-conventional single female lead) After a late-night discussion with his roommates about whether Eren’s world-ending actions were justified, Chen Si falls asleep—only to wake up having inexplicably arrived in the world of Attack on Titan. By chance, Chen Si discovers that he now wields the power of electricity. Under the baptism of lightning, he gains a body comparable to that of an Ackerman. Chen Si: “Oops… I accidentally one-shotted that Titan. Levi won’t mind, right?” Mikasa: “Brother… what exactly am I to you?” Chen Si: “Mikasa, I hope you truly like me from the bottom of your heart, not because—” Mikasa interrupts, repeating: “Chen Si! What exactly am I to you?!” Chen Si: “You’re my little sister. Family.” Hearing this, Mikasa lowers her head as violent arcs of electricity/thunder erupt wildly around her. Seeing this, Chen Si hurriedly changes his words: “Alright, alright—my lover!” Eren: “Chen Si, hate me! Kill me, and you’ll be free! The world will be free!” Chen Si slaps Eren across the face. “Like hell I’ll kill you!” Eren: “Waaah…” ‎PS: Access advance (100+) chapters at ‎https://www.patreon.com/c/NanamiTL ‎

Elric Voss is sixteen years old, two ranks above useless, and he wakes up one hour before everyone around him dies. The Caelith Mourne expedition has camped at the base of a sky-fallen pyramid ten thousand years old, and something sealed inside it has finally been disturbed. When the ground splits and the demons come, the thirty-one members of the expedition are dead inside of ten minutes. Elric wakes up again. Same tent, same wind, same pyramid filling the sky. One hour on the clock. He dies to the first demon in seconds. Then again. Then again... Magus Infinite is the story of a young acolyte who has nothing, no great power, no secret destiny, no teacher who believes in him, grinding the same hour of carnage until nothing in it can kill him anymore. Every death teaches him something. Every reset sharpens him. The spell that begins as a candle-flicker becomes a bolt that cracks the sky. The boy who could not survive two seconds against a single demon slowly becomes the only thing standing between the pyramid and the world outside it. The action never stops. Neither does Elric. This is not a story about a chosen hero. It is a story about what repetition does to a person. Join the discord. https://discord.gg/efWmmxMx4

After returning to duty, Detective Bodhi is trying to find his footing again. But the moment his new partner joins him in the field, it becomes clear that peace is the last thing he can expect. At his side stands Asher Garrett — experienced, sharp, and dangerously perceptive. A man who sparks tension from the very first moment. Not always the friendly kind. When the first body turns up in Dallas — and another soon after — it’s obvious this is no coincidence. The killer leaves behind almost no traces, moves with cold precision, and seems to be selecting victims from a predetermined list. Ethan and Asher are pulled into an investigation that takes them deeper than either of them anticipated. With every new clue, the tension rises — along with the pressure and the questions. Who is behind the string of murders? Why these victims? And can the two detectives stop the killer before he strikes again? In a case where nothing is accidental and every step could be their last, Ethan and Asher will have to find out whether they can truly watch each other’s backs — not only on the job, but when everything starts to fall apart.

Xu Yang should have died. Instead, he awakened inside a book he once read trapped in a cultivation world ruled by ruthless Heaven and merciless laws. His new identity? A Cat Demon. Granted nine lives, each bound to a cruel condition: death is mandatory. Every life is a cycle. Every death pushes him deeper into the story he never finished. As righteous sects hunt demons and fate tightens its grip, Xu Yang must survive a world that sees him as prey and a Heaven that demands his obedience. But destiny makes mistakes. Somewhere in this world stands a man who was never meant to care for demons, never meant to defy Heaven, and never meant to fall in love. In a story where death is guaranteed, what happens when love becomes the variable Heaven cannot control? First time writing fantasy story! Hope you enjoy:)

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. Even the Church has its own motives, pinning the detective down to prevent him from interfering with their nationwide propaganda. 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. Worldbuilding. I'll try my best to provide as much detail and backstory on the different countries mentioned in the story. And lastly, battles. If you like battles with alliances, betrayals, and tactics, then read on... Chapters are published every Monday and Friday

In a world where unseen spirits shape reality, power belongs to those who can perceive the beyond. Born without talent, nineteen-year-old Damian Leviticus is branded useless by his own family and discarded like trash—sold into slavery and left to die in a fire meant to erase a black market. But death refuses to claim him. Awakening in a liminal realm, Damian forms a forbidden contract with Sophie, a high ectoplasm spirit whose power comes at a terrible cost. His first ability is not strength, but a curse—Absolute Return, forcing him to relive death over and over until he learns how to survive it. Trapped in an endless cycle of pain, betrayal, and rebirth, Damian must claw his way up from nothing, devouring spirits and defying the laws of the spiritual world itself. Hated by fate, abandoned by gods, and fueled by a vow forged in fire, he will rise—not as a hero, but as something far more dangerous. Because this time, he won’t die quietly.

༺❘✦ (18+) ✦❘༻ Ryo thought moderating online fan drama about Llewellyn, the world's most famous hero, was the worst part of his job... What he didn't expect was the System deciding his online arguments counted as combat experience and dropping him into a magical apocalypse with Llewellyn himself! He also didn't expect the Internet to start shipping them! And he certainly didn't expect the System's idea of "combat partner" to involve an absurd amount of physical contact disguised as Healing Bonuses, shared body heat, Dungeon environments that look like dates, or being randomly teleported onto Llewellyn's lap! Llewellyn might be the strongest person on Earth, but he has no one to watch his back. Luckily for him, Ryo has had to deal with his unhinged online following for years… and he is more than willing to get his hands dirty in person. ━━━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━━ Content Note: The rating goes up as the story progresses!
