survival

Humanity has spent a thousand years of peace under the Emperor of Mankind and his sacred Living Flame. And it is at this crucial turn of the millennium that three children are born under ominous, converging fates. Zayn enters the world hidden from the Living Flame, marked as an outcast before he can even speak. On the brutal mining world of Mortrum, Ash grows up beneath acid rain and slavery’s cruelty—until one violent act of self-defense shatters the fragile life he’s been protecting. In the white halls of House Whiterock, Luna, the “Silver Princess,” is heir to a throne but denied the Flame’s gifts, making her both a political liability and a target. Watching all of them is Avraham Darkflame—an Inquisitor with secrets, debts, and a plan years in motion. As the Empire tightens its grip, the three are dragged toward the same chain-bound destiny… one that could break the Living Flame’s dominion, or ignite something far worse.

A story of how a modern person from Earth becomes the strongest in the cultivation world.

At the twilight of the 19th century, the cowboys of the American West stood on the brink of extinction — their wild, untamed days slipping into legend. In the midst of this fading frontier, Logan Song awakens… within the body of Dave Callander — the man destined to die in the opening moments of Red Dead Redemption. But this time, the story won’t end the same. This time, he seizes his fate with both hands. “Dutch… I’ve got a plan.”

The Valerith Empire claims it is protected by holy saints. That’s funny, considering how disposable people are here. I’m Lior Valen, second son of a Viscount—which is a polite way of saying I’m excess. Well dressed. Well educated and easily sacrificed. I also have a secret that would get me ruined if spoken aloud: I like men. I know this because I’ve lived once before, in a modern world where loving the wrong person didn’t come with a death sentence. That experience taught me an important lesson. Live quietly. Don’t stand out. Survive. Unfortunately, a masquerade ball ruined my entire plan. Because all terrible decisions are made at masquerade balls, someone suggested a game of truth and dare. I accepted a dare. I kissed a stranger. This was, in hindsight, a mistake. Because the stranger was the Monster of the North. Ruler of Skeldryn. Alleged executioner. A man rumored to kill anyone who touches him. I touched him. He did not kill me—which was unexpected. Instead, the monster became interested. Possessively so. He dragged me north, away from a lover who had already replaced me and a court that was more than happy to let me go. I followed—not out of courage, loyalty, or love. I followed because I enjoy being alive. Now I’m in Skeldryn, where saints are unreachable and monsters are persistent, and I’m beginning to suspect that surviving his attention might require more than luck. And possibly an exit strategy.

The Demon King has fallen. The war is over. Yet peace has birthed a new kind of monster—humans. A century later, a hero returns as the heir of House Aldebaran, the once-revered demon-slaying bloodline now reduced to a name and crumbling ruins. Bound to a gauntlet that feeds only on tainted essence, he walks a path to power that can never be clean. As the world begins to fracture and darkness whispers once more, one question remains: Will he become the hero the world needs… or the sin it uses to survive?

Kiran has lived her whole life under a curse — A curse that tightens around her heart with every passing day. Desperate and fearless, she performs a dangerous summoning, hoping to free herself from the fate that hunts her. Instead, she awakens the devil — Lucian. Cold. Untouchable. Bound to her by the same mysterious curse, Lucian is not just a stranger pulled from the darkness. He is tied to her heart in ways neither of them fully understands. Now fate has drawn them together, and the curse that binds them may be the very thing that destroys them. Because some devils are not summoned by accident… They are awakened for a reason.

Transmigrated into the world of Shadow Slave, Hermes awakens an unusual Aspect: Grand Alchemist. While others fight monsters with brute strength and lofty ambition, Hermes studies the logic beneath the system. He sees what others cannot. He inscribes what others only dream of. He breathes life into creations that grow as he grows. To him, runes are not sacred. Aspects are not absolute. They are formulas. And formulas can be rewritten. In a world where power is forged through suffering, Hermes will not simply endure. He will rewrite the rules.

After waking up, everyone will travel through a wasteland world, and the survivors will face various challenges such as acid rain, extreme cold, extreme heat and mutant creatures. Every corner holds unknown dangers, and the survivors have to adapt to this harsh environment. To withstand natural disasters, the survivors must build their own shelters in this dangerous land, stockpile enough water and resources to survive before the disaster strikes. While others struggle daily to gather rotten scraps and fight over limited supplies, fear and desperation slowly spread through the wasteland. Vikram Parker awakened a plant system. While others are scraping for a little bit of food, Vikram can cultivate crops. While survivors reinforce their shelters with fragile wood and broken metal, he grows living walls of vines and sturdy thornwood. His plants can bear fruits, purify water, and gradually transform barren land into fertile soil. As the regional chat fills with panic before every incoming disaster, Vikram calmly harvests fresh vegetables inside his green sanctuary. Looking at the endless cries for help and warnings of starvation, he can’t help but think. Surviving in the apocalypse isn’t that hard.

In a cultivation world where talent determines survival, Li Chen is nothing more than a ridiculed outer sect disciple—weak, resource-starved, and destined to remain insignificant. Until a bolt of heavenly lightning awakens the Monster Breeding System within him. Granted access to the mysterious Beast Origin Space, Li Chen can breed monsters, harvest their materials, evolve their bloodlines, and accelerate their growth. What begins with a single spirit chick soon turns into a hidden army of evolving beasts. While others chase techniques and pills, he cultivates something far more terrifying—a world of monsters bound to his will. From the shadows of the sect to the heights of immortality, Li Chen will rise step by step, building a beast civilization no one sees coming. The heavens may favor geniuses. But he will create emperors. He is the Hidden Beast Emperor.

Ever thought about What happened to the Nameless Slave? Well Now you will. A Tyrannical Shadow blessed by God of Peace. Later, The God regretted his decision after knowing the Choices the Shadow Made. So much so, 'He' did not intervene in the Shadow's demise. But a Tyrant will always be a Tyrant, even while embracing Death and Cycle of Reincarnation. His will won against those Laws. Later, The Tyrannical Shadow finds himself in his past, meeting his enemy while still being the Nameless and Powerless Temple Slave. Gaining or 'Snatching' a Second Chance, The Shadow vows to kill his enemy by his own hands. But what he gained was not a Regression.

Dumped into the Barrens—a wasteland where the empires exile their trash—Chris expected a classic isekai cheat: magic, a system, a legendary weapon. Instead, a bored god gave him a sack of enchanted soil, 180 versatile seeds, and a single mocking line: "Grow whatever you want. Entertain me." No stats. No starter gear. Just dirt that spreads fertility and plants that hear his voice. Survival starts brutal: starving beasts, scorching heat, bandits who rip up his first fragile sprouts for fun. But every seed he plants learns. Vines remember grudges. Trees strategize. A small World Tree stretches roots for miles, listening to the world. What begins as a desperate patch of green becomes a living fortress. Bandits fall to thorn and blade. Adventurers seek miracles. Empires send armies. Even demon generals take notice. He never wanted to rule. He just refused to die quietly. Now the Barrens bloom—and the old gods are starting to regret their amusement. Slow-burn survival farming → sentient plant defenses → rising empire-building isekai. If you enjoy strategic growth, living weapons with personality, and an MC who turns weakness into dominance, dig in.

Elias Kane overdosed in a slum hospital. His heart stopped. The doctors gave up. Street rat. Orphan. Nobody. That's all Elias was supposed to be—another forgotten kid in Ashwell's filthy slums, stealing bread to survive one more day. Then a stranger's prayer reached something vast and terrible. Sanctus answered. Elias woke marked. Thrown into a nightmare realm where time moves differently, Elias must defeat one hundred demons to earn his power—alone, with nothing but golden flames and a voice that promises: "You are Mine. I am with you." Three years of hell. Three days on Earth. One hundred demons burned to ash. But survival was just the beginning. When he returns, Elias isn't the boy who left. He's faster. Stronger. Sharper. Powers that took others months to master? He learned in years of survival. Demons that disciples can't see? He's killed a hundred. Now at Aspencrest Academy, Elias faces a new battlefield: proving that divine favor doesn't need a pedigree. That power earned in blood and fire trumps power inherited through bloodlines. That a boy from the gutters can stand among saints. He didn't ask to be chosen. But he'll damn well finish what was started.

Su Yining had a recent addiction: playing a game called ‘Apocalypse Survival’ on her mobile phone!  Originally, she only played it for fun, wanting to cheer herself up after the last trouble her stepmother brewed for her.  The characters have beast-like characteristics. Adorable animal ears, fluffy tails, and big, round eyes! She instantly fell in love with the cute chibis, especially the main character. But... why did such a cute game have an apocalypse theme?  In order to help the main character survive the apocalypse, she tried to complete all the quests.  However, the more she spent her time on the game... why did the main character seem to be more and more human-like? The NPCs too! Doesn’t this technology look too advanced? They even have the real face picture version!  Until one day, a model who looked exactly like the main character showed up in her world...  Then, she found out that the cute beast doing farming quests on her phone was actually a real beast. She was building a real apocalypse survival base in the beastworld! Apocalypse. What a terrifying nightmare, she thought. And now, it felt surreal that it had became a reality in another world. As she wasn't done digesting the fact about the cruel fate in the last days, she was horrified to find another shocking fact. What do you mean that her world had begun to show the signs of apocalypse too?! So, she had to farm, farm, and farm–gathering supplies for survival! Then, also hoard, hoard, and hoard crazily!  In the apocalypse, she shall prosper with her special powers. Lastly... maybe also deal with a certain cute beast who turned out to be a wolf in the sheep's clothing! [ 1v1 + Apocalypse + Space + Another World + Beastworld + Slice of Life + Game + Farming + System + Base Building] NOT A REVERSE HAREM! Content warning: gore and violence.

When robots created by humans learn to sacrifice, when cold code gives rise to human love, who truly possesses a "soul"? In 2087, Earth's population has plummeted to less than 100 million due to extreme weather caused by global warming, religious and resource wars triggering global conflicts, and frequent natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, and tsunamis. To perpetuate human civilization, the government promotes the "Robot Rebirth Project," using AI, robotics, and gene-editing technology to make robots "surrogate mothers" to give birth to and raise infants. These robot parents are not only responsible for raising and caring for the children but also for simulating human emotions to educate them. Our protagonist, Zevysh, is one of the first children born to "robot parents." She was conceived and raised by a pair of robot parents—father model B-06 and mother model M-02 (who already had a robotic uterus). They possess an emotional system capable of generating human love and protective instincts. However, in the third year of the program, the government discovered that these infants had genetic defects (such as weak immune systems, short lifespans, and potential diseases), and therefore decided to implement a "recall plan"—the forced euthanasia of these "children." For the sake of Zevysh, the robot parents decided to defy government regulations and the AI's programming, taking her on an escape. *My Robot Parents* is a work that blends science fiction, emotion, family, and humanity.
