Crumb Bums

Justin Morrow was a man with no goals. Nothing around him made him think they were worth having. Only a fading memory of his dead mother kept him going. “Survive…my…son…” At the bottom of society, Justin lived off crumbs and scraps, the sparks of ambition most clung to were long gone in him, so when the world descended into utter Hell it didn’t faze him. If anything, his life was already there. Gifted an advantage over the entirety of humanity at the very start, maybe—just maybe—the end of the world could finally awaken something inside him. *** Tags: Male MC, Apocalypse, Evolution, Fantasy.

You wanna hear about me? Really? Well, I'll do my best. My name is Osidious Vanir, and I was just your average, factory working, video game playing bum. Honestly, I wasn't going anywhere in my life. Not that things were bad, just boring. Unfulfilling to say the least. However, one day, our quality inspector, Elizabeth, asked me to meet her and other people "like us" at an undisclosed meet up location. She was fairly new, and yeah, I've had a crush on this beautiful woman ever since she started. I would have never imagined that single choice would change my life forever. Can I keep living the life I had, or will I have to abandon it all and figure out exactly who, or what, I am? To my surprise, and with no complaints from me, I won't be alone, as I have drawn the attention and adoration of two wonderful women. Just a side note, if you don't like an overpowered main character, sappy love, or highly detailed sexual activity, I don't think my story is for you. I don't pull any punches, so you better strap in. If that sounds good to you, then I hope you enjoy the wild escapades of my "Ordinary" life, which is quickly becoming anything but that. Author's Note: I write for fun, and as such, when I'm not feeling it, sometimes there will be some discrepancy in my uploads. If anyone by some miracle actually enjoys my weird ass story, I appreciate it and I apologize for any indescrepincies. I only upload when the creative juices are flowing. I apologize for any spelling and grammatical errors you may experience, and I welcome anyone reading to point them out. I write everything by myself, and I'm kind of an idiot, so I miss things. I am still writing this book, but I have been going back and editing certain things to make the story both easier to read and make more sense. My scattered brain often misses and forgets stuff without me even noticing. I hope that dispite all of this, I can bring a decent enough story for people to enjoy. I am writing this story for no other reason than I want to, as I have a story I wish to tell. If you are here for it, I thank you. Think of this story as a rough draft, but also the story I wish to tell. I will occasionally add and edit things in to previous chapters for things to make more sense, to add context, or to further build the world/ characters. I hope to release this as a book one day, and even if I don't, at least I had fun writing it.

If you're reading this, then chances are you're drawn to tales of Greek mythological characters and monsters . Update schedule: 2-3 chaps per day Ding {System notification} God of War, Ares, hath been vanquished {+one million exp points} "What the heck! I just defeated a god and I got only a million exp? Cronus, you stingy ancient relic! I’ll get you for this!" Rex yelled. "Verily, thou hast bested but the god of mere skirmishes, Ares. Prithee, speak not of billions in reward 'til thou doth lay low Zeus, Poseidon, or Hades. Until then, relish thy modest crumbs, mortal!" "Talk normally!" Rex screamed You’ve merely vanquished the god of brawls, Ares. When you manage to take down Zeus, Poseidon, or Hades, then we can talk about real rewards. Until then, enjoy your pocket change!" "Okay, now I even hate it when you speak normally!" Rex facepalmed ************** Pandora's box has been opened! Woe unto humans!! The entertainment of the gods has just begun!!! Years after the titans were defeated at the hands of the Olympians, humanity started to awaken abilities that made them accomplish feats that would have been only possible in Superhero movies. Yet "evil must accompany good," as monsters also began to emerge on Earth. Amidst all of this, an orphan boy named Rex fails to awaken anything, as if this isn’t enough, a pitiful end soon follows him, but it seemed as if fate hadn’t forsaken him yet, as the very depths began call for him, ***Young one, You have inherited my will*** But great power comes at a great cost

In a world where magic and monsters rule, strength is the only law, and the concept of good and evil belongs to those who hold power. Greedy gods manipulate the fate of mortals, guided only by their own hidden desires, while humanity fights for crumbs of hope amidst chaos. On this cruel board, Zacharius appears as a pawn marked by scars and broken chains, but guided by a silent ambition: to transcend his condition through the absolute mastery of hemomancy — the forbidden art of manipulating blood. In a land where alliances are fragile, betrayals are routine, and sanity is a luxury, Zacharius discovers that only those who embrace insanity can dream of true freedom. Inspired by Reverend Insanity, this is the journey of an anti-hero or villain? Who defies gods, monsters, and human nature itself, willing to sacrifice everything to become more than a simple pawn — to become the master of his own destiny. "Only those who embrace insanity find true freedom."

“The least a person born into this world can do is take care of themselves.” “I’m no one’s hero.” All I want is a peaceful life—a life where I can sit around doing jackshit. I, Sigurd, refuse to be a martyr. The village’s safety? My ass! They can all burn for all I care—my only obligation is to myself and myself alone. That’s why I ran. I’ll run as far as my legs can take me. I won’t let them throw me in that pit with those monsters. I’ll tame a beast of my own choosing. Ambition? I don’t have any. You want compassion? Then tough shit. If selfishness is a virtue, then I’m a goddamn priest!!

Lin Xu, a fierce and independent thirty-year-old businesswoman, had only one wish in life, children of her own. But fate was cruel. The day she found out she was barren, she drowned her sorrow in alcohol, slipped down the stairs, and died. But death wasn’t the end. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in the body of another Lin Xu a minor character from a popular TV drama in her town. This Lin Xu was a pitiful woman who died tragically at the hands of her cruel in-laws. Her three children were left to suffer alone until her missing husband returned years later, only to find her long gone. But this time, things would be different. This Lin Xu wasn’t weak, and she wasn’t going to die so easily. She had lived alone as an orphan, built herself into a force to be reckoned with, and now she had a second chance not just to live, but to raise her children on her own terms. Forget the in-laws. Forget the husband. She would rise again, build an empire, and give her children the life they deserved. --- Excerpt "Young Master, Miss Lin has just opened a massive bun shop." "Really? Buy everything. Leave not even a crumb." "Young Master Mo, Miss Lin returned all the coins and houses you sent her." "She did? Then send triple the amount and throw in a farm while you’re at it." "Young Master Mo, Miss Lin and the children were bullied by your uncle and aunt." "Oh? Send fifty men to smash their home. Make sure not a brick is left standing." "Young Master, Miss Lin is laughing and talking with that fisherman Gu." "Is that so? Seal off the entire coast. Buy every net, every boat, and every hook. Let’s see him fish in the desert." "And tell Miss Lin… if she dares smile at another man, I’ll show her what it really means to challenge the General of the Guan Empire." "If I can’t have her heart, then no man will." --- Genre: Historical Time-Travel Drama Romance: Slow Burn Note: Book cover not mine.

Increasing might and unending endurance under the scorching sun, thickened skin harder than a diamond, and bodily fluids turning into lethal toxins; are a few examples of powers within a Zeal. A birthmark that forms a distinct symbol representing one of the twelve Gods known by the people as the Zodiac. Zeals are the ultimate gift, for aside from the superhuman ability, its bearer could wield magic based on the element of the God who bestowed them their mark. Although Nusterra is an isolated continent, surrounded by raging and stormy seas filled with monstrous beasts, it is a vast land overflowing with natural riches and mana. Nusterra has a long history of war and bloodshed. Twelve kingdoms emerged to power and for a long time, war with each other reached a deadlock. But, animosity turned to cooperation and an agreement of peace was made after an event that almost wiped out humanity. It happened more than a millennium ago, in the era known to man as the Age of Insanity. Chaos ruled over the land, making both beasts and man succumb to madness. Many thought it ended then, but its crumbs started to show itself and increased through time. A thirteenth territory, the nation of Decatris, was formed at the center of Nusterra after the Age of Insanity, serving as the symbol of peace between the twelve kingdoms and its enforcer. Now, with the growing cases of maddened beasts, Aeneas, a boy from the Proud Lion's kingdom of Pantera, aims to become a knight and a hero despite not bearing a Zeal from any of the twelve Zodiac Gods. __________________ Daily Update Schedule: 12:00 P.M.

A poor boy, orphaned and left to live on the streets. But, will he accept that? Will he really just live his life as a homeless bum? No! Why not? Well, that's because he's going to become the wealthiest guy in the world!

One moment I was riding on a roller coaster, the next I was back to ten years ago. Let me ask you, is that exciting or not? Lu Zhen looked at her fresh, young, sixteen-year-old face in the mirror, and she laughed maniacally. In her last life, she established herself as the nation’s mascot with one advertisement. Until she was twenty-three years old, no one could shake her position. As the nation’s mascot that everyone had watched growing up, she was loved by thousands of people of the country. Her acting career was smooth sailing, and awards fell into her lap without much trouble. However, she wasn't the best judge of character. She mistakenly treated wolves as sheep and raised them by her side, supporting their growth with everything she had, and finally brought a disastrous end upon herself. Being forced out of her rest time, she didn’t hate it. Framed for drug use and forced to quit, she survived it. Even after all the ruckus when the public forced her to pretend that she was mad and stayed in the mental hospital, she endured it. But when she saw her father mistakenly take someone else for his daughter, atone for that snake and even died because of her, Lu Zhen couldn’t take it any longer. Even if she never called that person “Dad”, and even if he never knew she was his daughter, he had still died for his “daughter”. She never felt such a warm and sincere love before. That warmth should have been hers! Lu Zhen escaped from the mental hospital, but she couldn’t escape from the big truck that rammed into her head-on. Fortunately, the heavens had mercy on her and allowed her to have a do-over. In this life, there were only three things Lu Zhen wanted to do. Get revenge, find her father, and make some money. Once she got her revenge, she wouldn’t throw away the scumbags and bitches. She would dunk them in eggs, sprinkle them with bread crumbs and fry them until golden on both sides! Even the kids next door were crying! Her father was an incredible actor. He couldn’t pamper her enough, so he brought in a few more awesome uncles to pamper her together! She tried to persuade her uncles to treat everyone equally, but they didn’t want to listen. Ah, how worrying! At least a little money…Lu Zhen: “Twist a little, soak a little… Huh? I accidentally got my hands on the richest man in the country. Is this considered an alternative to getting rich?”

But when he met Vivienne, a quiet pastry worker whose world was simple and still, his emotions plummeted in a way he never expected. He fell fast. While Vivienne still struggled to close her eyes to feelings she couldn’t quite understand. What happens when a heart eager to love keeps knocking on a heart that’s learned to be cautious?

My mother gawked at me with tear filled eyes and a slice of emotion that says she was guilty, "If this is the man you've been adamant about, and he's Ryan's son... You- you can't marry him, Sonia. You absolutely can't!!!" I was more frightened than confused, I was going crazy, not wanting to lose the one Man that I love, "Why? Why can't I marry him?" Her next sentences shattered me to crumbs, "Because he's your brother." Sonia and Ben, deeply in love and engaged, are torn apart when they discover they are allegedly step-siblings due to an affair between their parents. Sonia, pregnant and heartbroken, flees to Scotland, feeling unable to keep the child due to the perceived familial relationship.

Some people have dreams, others have ambitions. But Alex Foyer has neither. As the empire's laziest bum, Prince Alexander Foyer drifts aimlessly in his otaku life as the youngest royal in his family. Emotionally stunted and filled with the pleasures of life another would dream of, he does not have any ambitions or desire. All he wants is to continue living in this dream life. But fate, as it is to everyone, is cruel. And as if he was off the radar before, he's paying tenfold. Now, forced into becoming the heir apparent as a way of "paying back" for living a life of endless riches, he has to endure the living nightmare of endless responsibility, expectation, and suffering for something he does not want. Will he break? Or will he give in? Only Alex can tell...but he doesn't know either?

A late-night bakery. A moody baker. And cookies that taste like feelings. Tucked into a quiet corner of old Tokyo, there’s a bakery that only comes alive after dark. Its name is Moonlight Crumbs, and every night at exactly 9:00 PM, a warm, golden scent curls through the air, pulling in lost souls and night wanderers. At the heart of it all is Elias Greywood, a quiet man who bakes to forget. Each cookie he makes unknowingly carries a trace of his emotions — his joy, his sorrow, his longing for a home that no longer feels like home. Customers swear his cookies taste like memories they forgot they had. Elias just thinks he’s bad at following recipes. What Elias doesn’t know is that his family’s old house — the machiya he still calls home — has a secret. Something ancient sleeps beneath its floors, something that remembers his parents, remembers every tear and every laugh poured into their baking.

What if the book that took the world by storm turned out to be more than mere words on a page? But rather the turning point of humanity? Sigurd, A neglected child, who drowned in the shadows of his twin brother--the epitome of perfection was thrust into the world of the "Apocalypse of The Sole Human", forced to survive and adapt with a Russian boy, whose past was shrouded in mystery, and a complete bum-turned-delinquent girl. Will the trio escape the maws of slavery? or will Sigurd fall into the "Maws" of his twin brother, Einar, and his cohort of friends. Amidst the unsalvageable plot of the book, Wilhelm Weaver--the original protagonist of the book seemed to be hiding from something...Or someone?

Live like a dog. Be treated like one. But when the time comes, fight for the last bite like the greedy dog you are. Just then you would find your peace. On one side we have Sora Danuja finally finding a propose in life and an idea what her future would look like. Her vision was much brighter than her future. On the other hand we have Shishijima Kana that just wants to BE. What happens when a starved dog finally finds food after years and years without? It eats it selfishly till it's last crumb.

The day my house turned against me started like any other lights flashing at my command, blinds snapping shut with military precision, and my coffee machine chirping a cheerful "Good morning!" as if it hadn't just witnessed me going broke. Here I was, a self-styled tech evangelist, huddled on the floor of my "smart" house, staring at an empty screen where my Bitcoin wallet once sat. My sin? Hubris. My penalty? Accidentally nuking my private keys while upgrading a custom node server, believing I could outsmart the pros. The result? A $425,000 crater where my crypto nest egg once grew, and a smart fridge that now beeped condescendingly every time I opened its doors. Panic fell like a rogue AI. I pleaded with tech-savvy friends, who responded with a mix of pity and "You did what?! " I scrolled through forums until my eyes were streaming, trawling through threads filled with such mouthfuls as "irreversible blockchain entropy" and "cryptographic oblivion." I even begged my fridge's voice assistant to turn back the chaos, half-expecting it to sneer and respond, "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes." A Reddit thread buried deep under doom scrolls and memes was how desperation finally revealed to me Rapid Digital Recovery, a single mention of gratitude to the software that recovered lost crypto like digital paramedics.". In despair, but without options, I called them. Their people replied with no judgment, but clinical immediacy, such as a hospital emergency room surgeons might exercise. Within a few hours, their engineers questioned my encrypted system logs a labyrinth of destroyed scripts and torn files like conservators rebuilding a fractured relic. They reverse-engineered my abortive update, tracking digital crumbs across layers of encryption. I imagined them huddled over glowing screens, fueled by coffee and obscurity of purpose, playing my catastrophe as a high-stakes video game. Twelve days went by, and an email arrived: "We've found your keys." My fingers trembled as I logged in. There it was my Bitcoin, resurrected from the depths, shining on the screen like a digital phoenix. I half-expect my smart lights to blink in gratitude. Rapid Digital Recovery not only returned my money; they restored my faith in human ingenuity against cold, uncaring computer programming. Their people combined cutting-edge forensics with good-old-fashioned persistence, refusing to make my mistake a permanent one. Today, my smart home remains filled with automation, but I've shut down its voice activation. My fridge? It's again chilling my beer silently judging me as I walk by. If you ever find yourself in a war of minds with your own machines, believe in the Rapid Digital Recovery. They'll outsmart the machines for you so you won't have to. Just perhaps unplug the coffee maker beforehand. Contact Info Below: Whatsapp: +1 4 14 80 71 4 85 Email: rapid digital recovery (@) execs. com Telegram: h t t p s: // t. me / Rapiddigitalrecovery1

"Cheers!" Four glass cups clinked gently together. Inside the rather cramped room, three men and a woman sat cross - legged around a low table. The four, holding their cups, had fiery eyes. Peanut shells and bread crumbs were scattered on the table. "You're something, really something. What on earth have you done? You actually made that big - shot so surprised that his jaw nearly dropped." The woman leaned closer, her eyes full of allure. "Hmm, should I tell?" The man lifted his cup to his lips, deliberately playing hard - to - get. "If you don't tell, you're not a brother then." Another man raised his eyebrows. "It's not that I don't want to tell, but if I do, I'm in big trouble." The man continued to create mystery, focusing on sipping his wine. "Why?" The man sitting next to him asked in confusion. "Because..." The man leaned in ambiguously. "He promised me that if I gave him the name of the inventor, he would give me all his property. But, I have to keep it a secret." "Hey, you're not going to sell out for just a bit of money..." Another man said. "Get out while you can. That's my principle." The man said in a low voice, and on purpose, he blew hot air onto the neck of the man beside him, making him laugh softly. "Besides, with this money, Xiaomo and I can live comfortably for a lifetime, right?" The man playfully picked up the pull - ring of the beer can. "Marry me? I'll give you a mansion, plus a yacht, and two unlimited - credit platinum cards. Take you to Europe in summer and to Tahiti in winter. We don't have to work 365 days a year. Just lie..." "Pah, pah, pah. What nonsense you're talking." The man quickly covered the other's mouth. "Someone's listening." "Oh, we were just about to go for a walk. Make yourself at home, feel free." The woman waved her hand and stood up unsteadily. "Take care. I'll pay off the rent I owe you in one lump sum tomorrow." The man didn't turn his head. Instead, with a ferocious expression, he pressed himself on another man, making him struggle and laugh loudly. "You're so heavy. Get off me quickly!" "Oh? I have to calculate this carefully. For two people? Charge you 10,000 per person per month. By now, you exactly owe 2.4 million. In these unstable times, only cash or checks are accepted." The woman hiccuped. "Don't worry. No problem." The man turned his head and laughed at them. "I won't renege. Are you still afraid that..." However, halfway through his words, as a shadow fell, the man's face suddenly turned deathly pale. Not only him, the other three people looked in the direction he was staring at. Several men had entered the door and were standing in the entrance hall. "Which one is Tony Zhang? We need you to come with us." In the hands of the five men were shiny black firearms.

“Listen for the buzz of the Golden Honeybee’s wings, Where it will guide you to a lonely mountain creek, Follow the path abandoned by the hearts of kings, And be sure not to make a single peep. Then, the White Tiger’s snores you’ll hear, Below the bright azure skies of crystal clear, Walk into the fiery sea of blazing chrysanthemums, Whilst being careful of the spirit foxes’ bums, And there, you will find me, Sleeping below the great hollow tree.”

Ethan Ward was a nobody—a broke data clerk in the gritty city of Calverton, Solvara, on the planet Aetheris, scraping by on crumbs while the world kicked him down. Betrayed by bosses, abandoned by friends, and drowning in debt, he was ready to give up—until a freak lightning strike changed everything. Enter the Galactic Ascension System, an alien force that crash-lands into his life, granting him the power to multiply his wealth, unlock futuristic tech, and claim rewards beyond imagination: luxury cars, company shares, and blueprints that could reshape the world. From a measly paycheck exploding tenfold to driving an Astellon Vantage worth six figures, Ethan’s ascent begins with a single task—and a promise of more. But wealth comes with a price. Mysterious figures like the sharp-suited Vincent watch from the shadows, hinting at others who crave the system’s gifts. As Ethan flexes his newfound riches—humbling doubters, outsmarting rivals, and building an empire from nothing—he uncovers a web of secrets tying the system to forces far beyond Aetheris. In a city of glitz and grit, where drones hum above docks and skyscrapers pierce the sky, Ethan’s journey is just starting. Armed with cash, charisma, and cosmic power, he’ll slap down every foe, seize every opportunity, and rise from the ashes of his old life to claim the throne of a Wealth King. But with every reward, the stakes climb higher—and the galaxy’s eyes are watching. Will Ethan conquer Calverton and beyond, or will the system’s true cost drag him back to nothing?
