For 10 years, camp pinebrook had been closed. People say the forest claimed too many kids. But this summer, the camp is reopening for a 'healing and restoration' program for teens who've experienced trauma... something about bonding with nature and reconnecting with joy. 17- years old Caleb doesn't want to reconnect with anything. His twin sister went missing at that same camp (although it beared a different name at that time) years ago. His parents made up this story that she was burnt in the forest fire alongside others who attemded that camp, they buried 'her belongings' since they couldn't find her dead body. Now, Caleb is back. To crack the case and find out the truth behind the missing kids from 2015 alongside his sister. Camp pinebrook- This camp looks normal in the day with normal camping activities going on. But at night... the woods whispera chant- campers sleepwalk into the forest and forget they ever left. Also, strange wooden effigies appear near tents. And worst of it all? Caleb starts seeing his sister! Alive! Smiling! Calling him into the woods. Except, something is wrong with her, she is not quite how he remembered her to be. He tries to tell 'someone' that he found his dead sister alive but no one believes him. The only person who believes him is a girl, Zari, whose cousin also vanished the same summer his sister did. They both work hand-in-hand to uncover the mystery that occured in 2015. As they uncover the camp's disturbing past, they find out jornals from former campers, warnings carved into tree trunks and a map to a place called 'The Red Clearing' Whatever lives in the forest doesn't kill, It keeps! And the more time he spends with Zari, the more he realises: They're next!

After returning from a long day of work, I am suddenly thrown into a world that I believe to be the very game I was working on. Waking up in a strange white room, I quickly realize that I am inside my own map, although now it is just an island within a huge supercontinent. With a completely different life than the one I had before, I try to find my place in this new world. But what I didn't expect was that my creations would think that I came here to conquer everything. What to expect from this story: Tragedy Harem Strange events A superpowered protagonist

Brains Before Brains Genre: Zombie Apocalypse | Dark Comedy | Female Lead | Strategy + Survival | Found Family Tags: Strong FL • 50+ Zombie Types • Mutant Virus • Base Building • Emotional Damage • Gen Z Humor • Slow Burn Leadership Arc Synopsis: Xenia Alderidge was supposed to give the best speech of her academic career. Instead, she gave birth to a survival plan while zombies chewed through the dean. Now she’s stuck on an island with a baby, a katana-wielding gym rat, a suspicious ex-soldier, and a band of chaos survivors who somehow elected her leader. She doesn’t have Wi-Fi, but she does have color-coded plans, mental breakdowns scheduled like calendar events, and a burning desire to un-zombify what’s left of the world. And the zombies? Oh, they’ve mutated. Some run. Some climb. Some spit acid. Some mimic cries to lure victims. Nobody knows what caused the mutations—only that they’re spreading fast, and every region has its own breed of nightmare. But Xenia isn’t giving up. She’s stubborn, petty, too sleep-deprived to be scared—and deeply committed to the insane idea that they can reclaim infected lands, one hellscape at a time. Yes, she cries in supply closets. No, she will not stop until they build something that lasts. Brains Before Brains Because when the world falls apart, the girl who always overachieved… overachieves again. Except this time, she’s fighting monsters, managing trauma, and maybe saving humanity. One color-coded map at a time.

When two high schoolers join their classmates for a test of courage in the woods, they expect jump scares, dares, and maybe even a romantic moment or two. But Enix and Nki, a bickering couple with more sass than survival skills, take a wrong turn and end up stumbling into a forest that shouldn't exist. No signal. No map. And definitely no way out. What starts as a night of jokes and teasing becomes a descent into a nightmare when they discover a mysterious mansion in the middle of the jungle. It looks abandoned. But it isn’t empty. They entered the house to escape the rain. But now something in the darkness won’t let them leave.

In a world where even mirrors lie, can one still trust what they see? On the edge of the unknown, a young orphan stands ready to cross the threshold into a realm no map dares to chart. Each morning, she trains. Each night, she prepares. Not to live… but to survive. Her life is a solemn ritual, a routine carved by fear and fueled by resolve. Hidden from prying eyes, between crumbling walls and poisoned memories, she hones her body like a blade — and her mind like a weapon. But nothing can truly prepare you for what lies beyond the veil. The System whispers. The Mirror calls. And the echo of a shattered past beats in time with a heart that refuses to break. For when you have no family, no home, no name… there is only one path left: to become what the world never saw coming. A survivor. A huntress. A puppeteer. A shadow. Welcome to a world where fear has a voice, solitude a face, and death… a reflection.

During the Warring States Period in China, there emerged a great emperor - Qin Shi Huang, who conquered the six states and unified China. After he gained supreme power, due to his obsession with power and dissatisfaction with the natural laws of birth, aging, illness and death, the aging Qin Shi Huang began to build the huge Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor as his tomb and sent an official named Xu Fu to search for the elixir of immortality in various places. It's a pity that many years have passed and Xu Fu still hasn't brought back any news of the elixir of immortality. It is said that before Xu Fu set out, Emperor Qin Shi Huang had sent someone to draw a secret map of the underground palace of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. This was a key to opening the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. Emperor Qin Shi Huang hoped that one day Xu Fu would send someone to the tomb with the elixir of immortality to resurrect himself, so that he could continue to govern a vast empire. Legend has it that Xu Fu and his men eventually arrived at a place called Donghuang Island. But for some reason, they vanished from the island. No one has known the whereabouts of Donghuang Island throughout history. It is said that if one can find Donghuang Island, they will be able to find the map to open the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor and obtain the treasures cherished by the First Qin Emperor in the tomb. This has also attracted adventurers throughout history to pursue it relentlessly.

When Lei Xing booked a luxurious cruise as a graduation present to herself, she expected to have plenty of well-deserved rest and relaxation with an ocean view before jumpstarting her career. What she did not expect was to be the unlucky person who would fall overboard to a miserable watery death… or so she thought. To her astonishment, she opened her eyes to find herself in an ancient setting, a different body, and a new life as the eldest daughter of a high court official. {...Okay, at least I'm rich...I can still live happily and freely, it's still a golden opportunity at a second life. I can live it well~...maybe go travelling, start a business, or something…It definitely could be worse...} To Lei Xing’s horror, her new host was scheduled to enter the palace to compete in the concubine selection for the new Emperor. {...What?! I am definitely not interested! Of all places, it’s that viper pit! I’m not built for any Royal BS or harem fights. Please keep your scheming lives to yourselves and leave me the hell out of it, NOT INTERESTED!!!... Can I not go, please? T_T)...No? Nevermind then, failure is always an option... Failure is the only possible outcome. Bring it on! Hahahaha…} While Lei Xing was making plans on how to skip out of town, fate was also very busy working out its own plans for her, mapping out its own course for her life behind the scenes... Poking holes in her plans to her confusion and outrage. "...Little chicken, as long as I'm alive you won't die." "Nonsense, if anyone is going to cause my death, it would be you!!" *** "Do you really feel nothing after all this time?" He asked as he looked at her with searching eyes, trying to see into her soul... "...Who...would..." she mumbled under her breath... *** "When things go against nature, there will always be a price that must be paid..." |||~~~~~~~~~~~||| Author's Note~~ Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the read as you go along!

Lilac has lived a life of suffering. From being forced to disguise himself as a girl to survive, to being labeled cursed after failing to awaken his heavenly gifts that everyone else could, he is shunned by all. To add salt to his wound, before he turns 18, his father vanishes, and his uncle seizes the throne that should've rightfully been Lilac's as the eldest son. Before Lilac could successfully flee, he is caught and traded to the monsters beyond the kingdom—beasts so feared that no one who sees them returns. But instead of death, Lilac is claimed by Sloan. Born cursed, Sloan is a prince of the Enwulves, an extinct hybrid wolf species. Even though he is a prince, he has lived life as an outcast due to his curse that causes him to forcibly transform every full moon, thus losing his humanity. His life has been mapped out for him, but when he finds Lilac—battered, freezing, and terrified—something shifts. For the first time, his rage stills. It was just a glimpse, a scent, a tiny whimper of fright. And that was it. Humans are meant to be slaves. Enwulves are forbidden from claiming them. Keeping Lilac means war. But Sloan has never followed rules, and Lilac has never belonged—until now. ~~~ | ~~~ “Are you afraid of me, little human?” Sloan husked out, cold lips grazing my bleeding fingers before his lips parted slightly to release hot breath over them. I trembled, rooted in the spot with fright and unable to breathe. Was this a trick question? Of course I’m afraid of him! Everyone is! Who wouldn’t be? Slaves are never supposed to be in his presence, except they suddenly desire a quick demise. Am I supposed to respond honestly or lie? When cold lips closed around my finger, I gasped in shock, a rush of fright and dread engulfing me. He was gonna bite off my finger right now, wasn’t he? Just because my stupid brain couldn’t come up with a response? The rumors said he was a heartless psychopath, but I didn’t think it was actually true! However, a hot tongue swiped over my fingertips and I sucked in a sharp breath, exhaling shakily while my chest expanded and my brain tried to figure out what was happening, and why my fingers weren't bitten off yet— or why I’m still breathing in his presence. Next, cold, long fingers wrapped around my wrist and my hand was being tugged upward, then a nose was digging into my pulse point, and I almost fainted when cold lips dragged over the sensitive skin there. The sound of a deep inhale filled up my ear next. “Fuck. You smell so good.” Oh heavens. This was worse than I thought. Instead of killing me, was he planning to… eat me… literally???! What the fuck? *** R18+! Cover not mine!

“The world’s a mystery. Always has been,” says a wanderer. He’s crossed cities, braved kingdoms, and chased the edge of maps—all to reach the places known only in whispers: the Willfall. But he’s not just chasing a myth. He’s chasing a question too. What gives people direction? Plagued by indecision, driven by wonder, the wanderer walks the world— perhaps to find an answer. Perhaps to lose himself in the search. "When the world sings, you have to listen. But when you sing, it slides you off a fall." A quote that echoed within…someone.

When Emily, a terminal cancer patient, took her final breath, she never expected to open her eyes again—especially not as a 7-year-old princess with soft, chubby cheeks and sparkling green eyes. Now living as Princess Evelisse of the grand kingdom of Florabelle, she finds herself surrounded by seven doting older brothers, each more protective than the last, and a kingdom that adores her every smile. But as she adjusts to her new life of frilly dresses, endless pampering, and royal feasts, a cute, chibi-like Fluff System suddenly appears, promising her a life of comfort if she completes weekly “Fluffy Tasks.” Tasks like: ✨ “Give your brothers a sweet, tearful smile (Reward: Extra pampering for the day!)” ✨ “Convince the grumpy Duke to carry you on his shoulders (Reward: Instant Kingdom-Wide Adoration Boost!)” ✨ “Unite two rival knights through a shared ‘baby sister protection squad’ meeting (Reward: Secret Passage Map to the Royal Kitchens)” However, hidden among the fluffy missions and sweet family moments lies a deeper purpose—uniting the fractured kingdom of Florabelle. To succeed, Evelisse must bring together not just her brothers, but also the cunning villains, misunderstood nobles, and even the eccentric court magicians, using the most powerful weapon in her tiny arsenal: OVERWHELMING CUTENESS and SMARTS. With her Fluff System guiding her and a heart determined to bring warmth to every corner of the kingdom, Evelisse sets out to become not just a pampered princess, but the heart and soul of Florabelle. After all, who knew that the key to uniting a kingdom could be as simple as a pouty lip, teary eyes, and a warm hug?

Exiled instead of hailed a Hero, Ren is cast into the wasteland with nothing—until a vanishing shop grants him a map only he can read. It shows forgotten roads, buried water, and traces of old magic—within the limits of where he stands. With no powers but his mind, a notebook, and the will to rebuild, Ren begins restoring a ruined village. But the map reveals more than land and secrets. It shows danger—and something dark rising in the west. The kingdom left him to die. The map showed him where to begin. ---------------------------------------------------------- I’ll be uploading 1 or 2 chapters daily if I can, around 1000 words+ per chapter.

He was born unwanted. Ignored by the system. Forgotten by the world. Bullied at school. Abandoned at home. Yuto Akiyama’s only escape is the newly launched full-dive VR game: Eclipse Genesis Online — a revolutionary MMORPG that promises infinite class evolution, free will, and a chance to become anyone. But when everyone spawns in shining cities and receives powerful starter classes... Yuto spawns alone. In a glitched forest. No class. No quests. No support. Even the system fails to recognize his existence. Other players call him a bug. The game offers to delete him. But Yuto refuses. Deep in a forgotten zone beyond the map’s edge, he discovers something no one was meant to find — a hidden terminal that lets him rewrite his fate. He types two forbidden words: > “The Nihilos.” Now he isn’t just a player. He’s a variable. A glitch in the code of reality itself. And reality is starting to notice.

Alfred, a history teacher on Earth is suddenly thrown into the body of Prince Alfred Lindonfall, the twelve-year-old prince and heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Ammar. With the abrupt death of his father, the responsibility to rule a Kingdom falls on his shoulders. Having to navigate a medieval court and world, his journey to creating an empire and putting his knowledge into practice sees him become a man he never knew he could be, being shaped by the new world and unique circumstances he faces. There are many characters who get a lot of focus and can be called a lead in their own right, but I won't put their character descriptions in as it would be too much of a spoiler for chapters in future.

Adam was meant to be among the chosen. Having just graduated from school, he, like others, awaited the start of a new life—a future brimming with possibilities. But instead, the heavens tore open. His classmates were ripped from reality. They were granted powers, a path, a destiny. While they awoke in a new world, he opened his eyes in silence. Amid wreckage, corpses, and rust. Without a gift. Without a map. Without explanation. On a planet where even the air kills, where the darkness whispers with a thousand dead voices. In a world that died long ago—and was never truly alive. A place where no one awaited him, and from which no one emerged unchanged. Now he walks. Through pain, fear, and emptiness. He seeks not power. He seeks truth. Even if it means traversing Hell to find it. Yet this world is but a mask. Reality—a thin, trembling veil over a gaping abyss even gods dared not face. Beneath it lies a whispering darkness, a distorted truth, and a cycle that devours itself… until someone dares descend and shatter the spiral from within.

In the tale of history and the shrouds of darkness , who was watching ?, who was calling? The Voices of the unseen watching from the rifts awaiting their time of calamity. In the Shadow of the gods and monsters , nestled between nations lies a placed not marked on any official map, A place known only to those who need it most. They call it the House of Red-Hill To the mundane, it's a charitable home for war orphans and lost children. A quiet estate just beyond the edge of the Nation of Aegis , run by a woman once hailed as the brightest mind but Red-Hill is no sanctuary . beneath its warm halls and shared meals , the children are trained in silence, secrecy, and survival. They are taught not to pray but to act, to kill , to protect. Each child is raised to not just face the monsters lurking in the shadows but to be bought , licensed, and employed by those afraid to relay on divine mercy alone. Some call it salvation, Others call it exploitation. But to the children of Red-Hill, its just home. And every night , when the rifts groan , they lie awake in their beds.... waiting for their next assignment.

Yamete Kimochi, a lazy Japanese gamer, is furious at a poorly designed RPG boss that keeps killing him. Out of frustration, he downloads a cheat engine to hack the game—only to receive a bizarre message after winning: "Congratulations! You have been selected to enter the game world with your cheats enabled!" Suddenly transported into a glitchy medieval fantasy world, Kazuki discovers his "Cheat Engine" ability lets him manipulate game mechanics—but with ridiculous limitations. To survive, he must complete absurd quests given by GLich-chan, a snarky system AI living in his head. From duplicating bugged items to fighting monsters with broken hitboxes, Kazuki navigates a world where: - Slap the stuck NPC until his dialogue unfreezes. - Quests make no sense ("Collect 10 flowers… but the map only has 9"). - Fix the broken bridge… by reloading the area. (Good luck with that.) With GLich-chan mocking him and the world crumbling from his exploits, Kimochi must decide: Will he keep relying on cheats, or learn to grow stronger—and maybe fix this broken world?

What if you were to lose everything in an instant? How would it feel to see your world in chaos? How would it be to witness your family and friends dying? What if you had to kill your friends? How would you feel having to kill your entire family to survive? How could you sleep knowing you could die at any second? To see worlds others only dream of. To discover things even the smartest minds couldn't conceive. Witness the birth of the first Gods. Learn how they gain their power. See Empires that make Rome seem like a mere speck on the map beside them. Uncover the TRUTH! Know what happens in historical periods about which nothing is known. Become a Criminal! Turn into a Predator who is just their pawn. Have you ever thought that perhaps everything is happening because we only glorify these Beings? Are you sure Lucifer wasn't a human who rose higher than God? What is wrong and what is right in a world dominated by Hate? When death lurks with every small mistake. When your only ally is the weapon you possess. Betrayal is the strongest weapon. Lies are king. Hunger dictates actions. When death and life dance their waltz. And time plays its sonata. Where Luck depends on deeds, not words. This is Day 0, the Apocalypse, or by its real name, THE GAME OF THE GODS.

1.Warning: The story contains moments of mutilation and violence. 2.There are visual images hidden in the comments, don't miss them! _______________________________ I'm not a warrior. I'm not a heroine. I'm the one who draws where they fell. When everyone is rushing into battle, I draw the borders. When one shouts "forward!", another "hold your shield!" - I mark where the earth crunches differently. I'm a cartographer. A documentarian. An eyewitness. A witness. Not a participant. Why? Because when someone writes "victory", I want to know how many corpses are left behind this word. Because I was not chosen. I was chosen. The guild did not accept me right away. "Like, a girl with a map, who needs you if you can't shoot, cut, heal?" Then my route was saved by the squad. My drawing led them out of a trap. And then it turned out that a map on which every bush and corpse is marked is needed more than a pompous swordsman. I will not become a legend. But I know where she went wrong. And that's enough for me.

In one life, his mind commanded steel and concrete. In this new one, he was forged in the shadows to become a weapon. Reborn into a legendary ninja clan, he learned to kill in the silence and live by the rules of the dark. But when a bloody betrayal wipes his clan from the map, he is forced to flee, carrying the burden of lost techniques and a unique power: the ability to see the hidden truths and weaknesses in all things. Now, living under the guise of a common adventurer, he only wants to forget the past. But in a world ruled by sword and sorcery, secrets never stay buried for long. And the ghosts of a shattered clan cry out for answers.

Betrayed by blood. Banished by fate. Bound to conquer. Kaelion Vel’Rath, the 13th Prince of the mighty Aetherion Empire, was born to a lowly palace servant, mocked, scorned, and disregarded by the imperial elite. Yet with nothing but his modern mind from a forgotten world called Earth, he rose through the empire’s ranks, earning the emperor’s favor and transforming cities with knowledge centuries ahead of its time. But brilliance breeds envy. Framed for treason by his jealous siblings, Kaelion was exiled through the empire’s ancient Teleportation Gate. Yet in secret, the coordinates were tampered with… and instead of exile, he was cast into the heart of the unknown, a savage, forgotten continent at the edge of the Infinite World. There, on the brink of death, he awakens to an impossible miracle: A tower..invisible to all but him..embedded in his soul. Within its countless floors lie forbidden spells, lost techniques, ancient war maps, treasure realms, and blueprints of weapons that once shattered empires. At its heart, a mysterious spirit named Jade whispers: “Rise, abandoned one. The Infinite World awaits its new ruler.” From nothing, he will build a kingdom. From ashes, he will forge an empire. From betrayal, he will become the storm that shakes the heavens. This is the saga of the abandoned prince... who will conquer the Infinite. ------------ #AbandonedProtagonist #KingdomBuilding #CheatSystem #Reincarnation #WeakToStrong #MagicAndKnights #TowerInMind #Betrayal #EmpireBuilding #HiddenLegacy #WarAndConquest #StrategicGenius #SecretWorld #FantasyAdventure #OverpoweredMC

In a post-apocalyptic world where multiple energy systems coexist, a group of game players obsessed with endless grinding emerges.

The players exclaim: “This game is so grind-heavy! I find new materials every day!” “There are tens of thousands of skill combinations, and I can even learn skills from random passersby. I’m going to max out the skill wall at the base!” “Enough talk, the Lord just announced a new map has opened. I’m going to speedrun the dungeon and write a guide for the others to farm it!” “The world boss has appeared, everyone, let’s grind it together!” Watching the players grind until their eyes turn red, Cheng Shaofeng shrugs: “You can see for yourself, it’s not that I want to rule the apocalypse—it’s just that they can’t stop grinding!”

A hundred years ago, the sun’s flames crept hotter and brighter until daylight became a furnace—mankind retreated into the night, and the world was claimed by shadow. In the silence of moonlit streets, water became worship, and three mighty prophets—Children of the Sun, Moon, and Stars—rose from ash to rule with fire-forged faith. No one knows if the Scorch was divine wrath or a cosmic accident, but for a century the faithful have burned heretics, torn nations apart, and lived by ritual “Purification” to prove their worth. Now, sixteen-year-old Ádin survives in a hidden bunker, trading scraps for scraps and precious drops of water. Marked by secret scars that only glow under his skin he lives with Fletcher, his mute golden retriever, and clings to the cryptic lullaby his grandmother left him. Out in the ruins roams Salvator Morgan, a man whose ageless eyes have seen the fall of empires and who whispers rumors of a “true child of prophecy.” When Ádin discovers the first fragment of a hidden map— he realizes he may hold the key to a long-lost salvation. But every step toward the truth draws the attention of the Children of the Stars, a fanatical cult whose young prophet will stop at nothing to claim destiny for himself. As the moon circles high and the ashes swirl, Ádin must decide: cling to everything he’s known, or embrace a perilous path that could either resurrect humanity… or consume him in the flames of betrayal. In a world where water is worship and every lie is branded in blood, survival means choosing whom to trust—and what you’re willing to burn.

A rogue and a runt. A born and raised alpha. A boy with a secret. And a man bent on changing fate, no matter who gets harmed. ~ "Have you contacted the council about the rogues?" "Yes and they say that rogues don't band together in mass amounts." "Did you tell them about the lack of scents?" I roll my eyes at his question. "Of course I did." "And?" "And they think there's a witch out there causing havoc for the rogues," I scoff. "They said that only a witch could hide a wolf's scent but I can't seem to think of what witch would be out there doing silly experiments that won't benefit them. They'd be better off working with a pack if they had any interest there at all." "I get where they're coming from but this is mass reports across the country," he says pointing to the map. "I've been on the phone with packs all over the country having the same issues. We seem to have a higher concentration as of late," he furrows his brows. "Other packs have been having decreases of these rogues?" He nods. "This past week alone we've had six sightings and it's only Thursday." I feel tension rise behind my eyes as the realization hit me. "It's Celeste, isn't it. . ."

Blake is a young man who has had to suffer through devastation over and over again losing more than just an arm. With no power of his own he could barely stand a chance against others or even be deemed useful by the military. All he can do is accept his sister's help bitterly knowing he can't return it to the same effect. After a series of events a meeting with near death shocks him to his very core changing his life forever. Awakening a hidden element buried deep within his genetic code. The Gene System, an advanced complex genetic technology used to expand and improve the overall potential and direction of evolution for the user's genetic code naturally mapping out and directing where the user should go with the growth they obtain. Not much else is known, only that few on every planet are given one through unknown means. The current state of the world is racked with unbridled chaos as the military fruitless attempts to stop the atrocities committed by the organisation known as the Gene hunters. Seeking to steal and splice any genetic data they can get their hands on by whatever psychotic means whether it be dissection, slow harvesting or cloning ethics are not a concern. Hundreds of thousands have been affected by the gene hunters including Blake's family. Some are never seen again, just used as cows for genetic harvesting over and over again until they dried up never to see their families again. Changes have begun to sprout in the background of earth leading to more and more mysterious events occurring, genetic powers becoming stronger, animals becoming mutated and evolving faster than normal generational lines. All the while in the background an unknown force beyond human comprehension lurks just beyond the veil waiting patiently for the time to run out and indulge in his planet level feast devouring all life in sight. Blake will give his all to overcome these brutal circumstances by whatever means. No matter the pain, suffering or loss he will continue to go forward no matter the cost. Failure isn't a devastation but a stepping stone in his larger goal. In his pursuit to build his strength he wont forget where he came from guarding the weak as someone who grew from that. Seeing the lack of care or acknowledgement to the majority viewed as weak in the military disdain makes him step up as the leader needed to change the structure of this world for the better. In the weak there is strength which Blake knows all too well. His reason to go forward is to become the man he wants to be. The only thing that truly terrifies is the idea of letting it all go, giving up and betraying himself and his potential.
