Familiar Faces Worn Out

Slaughter System: No Way Out

This story contains scenes of intense violence, bloodshed, and combat. Reader discretion is advised. They came without warning. Towering figures of intelligence beyond human comprehension, treating Earth as nothing more than their next slaughterhouse. Nuclear weapons? Useless. Diplomacy? Laughable. They didn’t come to conquer. They didn’t come to negotiate. They came to watch us die. Every male on Earth became a player. Every loved one became leverage. The rules were simple: Kill or watch them die. Win or lose everything. There was no escape, no surrender, not even death—the system wouldn’t allow it. Jiang Chen, a 24-year-old man with nothing left but his 16-year-old sister, Jiang Yue, never wanted to fight. But the moment the game began, he had no choice. Because in this cruel, ever-changing nightmare, survival wasn’t about strength. It was about how much of your humanity you were willing to abandon. The system decided everything— Some were thrown into arenas, forced to rip each other apart like rabid dogs. Others were given one command: Kill another player’s family before they kill yours. Hesitation meant death. Kindness was punished. The weak were torn apart first. Jiang Chen swore he would protect his sister. But in a world where every man is an enemy, where mercy is the fastest way to die… How long before he becomes just another beast in the slaughterhouse? Because in this world, even monsters don’t get to survive. Only the last man standing.

Starting out as a Dragon Slave

2025 WSA ENTRY !!!! When Isaac opens his eyes, he finds neither eternal rest nor peaceful reincarnation... but a descent into hell. He wakes up in a world identical to his own, except for one terrifying detail: portals filled with monsters are popping up everywhere, and if no one stops them within three days, the apocalypse is upon us. Here, only enlightened hunters - graded from F to SS - have the power to confront these nightmarish creatures. The problem? Isaac is an F-rank, an orphan with no future, condemned to survive in the shadows of the strongest. But one night, everything changes. His spirit is torn from this world and plunged into another, a veritable hell where humanity is no more than a herd of slaves under the yoke of dragons. Tortured and broken, Isaac soon understands one thing: this other world isn't just a nightmare... it's a warning. As he fights for his life, a miracle occurs: an enigmatic system enables him to steal the power of the monsters he slays. [*Ding* Would you like to absorb the physical stats?] Weak yesterday, predator today, he has but one goal: to unravel the mysteries of both realities and crush those who would see him fail. With a katana in hand and a secret burning in his soul, Isaac refuses to be a victim. If he wants to survive, he has only one option: become the ultimate hunter... before history repeats itself.

MFS:my familiar system

A World of Bonds and Battles In this world, a person’s strength isn’t just their own—it’s shared with their familiar, a mystical creature that becomes both a companion and a source of power. Every familiar is unique, but they all fall into five tiers based on their abilities and potential: 1. Ember Tier – The most common familiars, good for learning but limited in strength. 2. Veil Tier – More specialized and adaptable, strong enough to give their summoners an edge. 3. Dominion Tier – Rare familiars that can change the course of a battle. 4. Apex Tier – Legendary creatures with stories behind them, the kind that make people stop and stare. 5. Ascendant Tier – Beyond legends—these are familiars that defy history itself, but they don’t start that way. They have to evolve. How Familiars Grow Familiars aren’t just stuck the way they are. They can evolve, but it’s not easy. Some have to survive near-death experiences, others need rare energy sources, and some have to merge with another familiar. Every evolution is different, but for students in training, there’s a limit—no one should have anything stronger than Veil Tier during their assessments. Kyle Corvayn & Boneclaw – A Pact with Death Kyle wasn’t supposed to come back from that fire. But he did. And when he did, he wasn’t alone. Boneclaw, a rare and feared Apex-Tier familiar, was now bound to him. Its presence is unsettling—cold air follows it, shadows shift when it moves, and it doesn’t quite belong in the world the way normal familiars do. Unlike most creatures, Boneclaw doesn’t evolve in a straightforward way. It absorbs power through battle, taking on traits from its deadliest versions—Wraithclaw, Graveclaw, Bloodclaw, Echoclaw, and Famineclaw—until it reaches its final form. But there’s a cost. The more Kyle grows, the more his abilities start shifting toward something darker, something unnatural. Life at the Military Academy Kyle’s not the only one with something to prove. The academy is full of students trying to rise through the ranks, each with their own familiars and ambitions: Darius Holt, a Level 5 student with the lightning-fast Stormfang Panther, is Kyle’s main rival. Their clashes push both of them to their limits. Vivian Marchand bets on Kyle’s abilities, throwing him into a high-stakes sparring match. Jace Torren, Kyle’s roommate, hides his own secrets—like a rare familiar he spent everything to summon. Instructor Vaughn has seen something in the security footage. He doesn’t know what Boneclaw is, but he’s watching. An investigator at the academy is digging deeper, sensing that Kyle is at the center of something unusual. The Phoenix Order & The Coming War Outside the academy, tension is rising. The Phoenix Order, a rebel group that despises the familiar system and the power it upholds, is waiting for the perfect moment to strike. A war is coming, likely sparked by a broken peace treaty, and when it does, everything the academy stands for will be tested. Kyle was never meant to be part of this fight. But with Boneclaw by his side, he may not have a choice. His strength is growing, his mana is changing, and the world is watching. The only question is—will he control his power, or will it control him?

Hollowed Out

['Good people die young.' That was an irrefutable fact. In her life, all she did was give everything she has to the people around her. Living in a world where man-eating creatures exist, she was more blessed than anyone, or is she? She shares all the things she possesses with the people she deemed as 'comrades.' She became selfless and ignores her desires because maybe, even if they live in a scary world, they could have joy in it even just a little bit. But she was soon proved wrong. Her 'comrades' left her to be eaten to save themselves. She thought that it was fine. But the 'monsters' she expects to eat her were more of 'devils' in the humans' clothing. She was tortured, experimented and she toyed mentally, physically, and spiritually. Her being was put in place worse than death. And finally, she came to rest.] "You wrote...this story?" she asks. The other person laughs crazily: "It's so sad, right? Haha!" Her face darkens. She looks into the sky and calms herself. The other person became puzzled: "Do you remember your—" Bam! She smashed her friend's face to the table and fanned herself. In her first life, she lived only to be tortured and became someone else's stepping stone. In her second life, she came to know that her first life was nothing but a fraudulent novel, that she's only damn cannon fodder. When she opened her eyes again, it's already her third life. She blinks her eyes. How come it resembles the settings of her first life? "Groans.." ...It's the same, but it seems like something changed in the gender department?
