Apocalypse Days: I Rule with Foresight and a Powerful Son

You’d think seeing the future would give me a head start on surviving the apocalypse. I had it all planned—until everything I knew shattered when my husband sacrificed himself to save me and our son. Now it’s just me, my three-year-old son Leo, and my cursed gift of foresight that only seems to kick in when it’s nearly too late. I’m doing my best to keep us safe, to find food, to make some kind of plan— “Mommy?” I glance down, trying to ignore the tug on my pant leg as I focus on our supplies. “Not now, Leo. Mommy’s thinking.” “Mommy!” I sigh and finally look down. My three-year-old is standing there, clutching… I blink. “Leo, where did you get a knife?” He shrugs, grinning like it’s the most natural thing in the world. My heart stutters. “No, really. Where did you find that?” I try not to laugh. I mean, he’s three. Maybe he just—found it somewhere? But the next day, it’s a water bottle. Then, a tiny flashlight, somehow with batteries still inside. I don’t even know what else; he’s pulling things out one by one with the pleased grin of a kid who’s just figured out his favorite game. Well, we may just survive this mess after all. Now, if only the universe could have spared me from him. I don’t even know his name, but I know his type: tall, broad, and annoyingly handsome, with an air of calm control that’s out of place in this chaos. Ex-military, if I had to guess, with a voice that’s just as infuriating as his smirk. The man has a habit of showing up at the worst—or best—possible times, with a gun at the ready and secrets buried as deep as those bright green eyes. I mean, he’s probably useful, but I’m trying to keep my eyes on the prize here: survival. For Leo and me. Because, foresight or no foresight, nothing is guaranteed in this new world—except the fact that people like him are trouble.

That Time I Got Reincarnated With Gacha System In Mahabharata

(This Story Takes Place In AU So, Don't Expect To Go Things As It Was In the Original Mahabharat.) Hindu x Greek x Norse (Mythologies Included) ******************* My name is Aditya. I am a seventeen-year-old who used to live in Kurukshetra, Haryana, and, of course, an orphan. Life was ordinary until a tragic accident took me away from the modern world—only to be reborn in a time I had only read about in history books: the Mahabharata era. As for how I got to this conclusion? Well, the answer to that question lies with the man-god sitting far away from me with a mischievous smile on his handsome face—Lord Krishna. It seems my memories awakened at a significant moment: the Swayamvara of Draupadi. Standing amidst an assembly of kings and warriors, I watch as Karna is insulted and humiliated for his lower caste. The tension in the air was palpable, and I realized that I was witnessing one of the most pivotal events in the Mahabharata. My heart raced with both excitement and dread. But as I tried to process this, something even stranger happened—a voice echoed in my mind. [Welcome, User! You have activated the Gacha System.] What on earth? Or rather, what in the Mahabharata? Before I could even fully comprehend the situation, I felt a strange pull within me, like an invisible force connecting me to something far greater. The system interface appeared in front of my eyes, listing various abilities, weapons, and companions—all locked behind a gacha mechanism. Apparently, I had been reincarnated not just as a mere observer but with a cheat ability straight out of a video game. The Gacha System allowed me to draw random skills, weapons, or even templates from the grand pool of every mythological lore. But there was a catch: each draw required "Fate Points," and earning those points meant altering the events of this world. As I stood there, watching the unfolding drama with Karna, I realized that I was no longer just a bystander. I had the power to change history, for better or worse. But meddling with destiny in such a grand tale came with unimaginable consequences. What if I anger the gods? What if I change the fate of heroes like Arjuna, Karna, or Bhishma? The weight of it all hit me like a thunderbolt. Still, one thing was certain—I couldn't let things play out the way they did in the original story, not if I had the power to make things right. With the Gacha System at my side, I had the chance to rewrite the Mahabharata itself. But I needed to be cautious. Lord Krishna’s knowing gaze seemed to pierce through me as if he already knew about my unique circumstances. Was he testing me? Guiding me? Or simply waiting to see how my actions would shape the future? Then let's start with this event itself. ********************** Disclaimer: Remember, this is a fanfiction about Mahabharata. Not "Original" Mahabharata. I have no intention to harm anyone's religious belief, I am just writing a what-if story from my perspective. If you don't like it, So I kindly request you not read further this.

Literary Teacher Isekai

[Participant in the Royal Road Writhathon Challenge] NOTE: Please support in Royal Road. Every like or comments goes a long way. After a painful breakup, a 28-year-old literature teacher is unexpectedly transported to a mystical medieval world with his loyal college assistant. In a land where words have the power to shape reality, their literary knowledge becomes their greatest advantage. As they explore this strange new realm, they uncover a dangerous secret: the godlike creator has lost control, and now the characters are alive—and free to make their own choices. ______________________________________ What to expect: 1. Narrative Driven, the story may be a litrpg but the focus is less from the stat blocks and more to the characters and plot. Although, the stats are still very much significant.  2. Conflicts are real, this means that the main characters don't just get better and move on from past traumas right away. Improvement is gradual. If you don't like waiting, or feeling pain before having the strength to overcome it, this might not be for you (sorry, I've decided to take it to the unconventional direction) 3. There is a potential slow burn romance subplot and potential love interests depending on plot progression and audience interaction. But, I'd like to make it clear that this is not a harem. 4. A whole lot of literary allusions, if you enjoy popular and classic literature, you're in for a ride! 5. Explores the struggles of a modern day teacher in depth. This story is a quest for redemption,  6. The main characters are human, this means that they aren't the typical Mary Sue or Gary Stew kinda characters. Capable of making good decisions as much as they're capable of making mistakes. ______________________________________ Sidenote: It isn't excessively violent, in fact, it's the opposite. Just wanted to put the warning since some chapter has mild descriptions of violence. Erring on the side of caution would be best. ______________________________________ This journey is a quest for redemption, a confrontation of past regrets and the reimagination life and love in a world as fluid as ink on a page.

In me, you have broken all that there is to be broken, blackened all that could be considered bright, tortured my entire being from inside out.. Time and time again, you kill me. Endlessly, I suffer. What more do you want from me?.. You won't let me live, you won't let me die. Do you enjoy it?.. Watching me suffer, does it fill you with some kind of satisfaction?.. You... With whatever remains I have left, I swear to you, I will become a curse, the very plague that brings about your ruin. May you face the same darkness you've wrought upon me, and may your conscience be as haunted as mine has been. Vonn Black, a victim of immense pain, hardship, betrayals and discrimination swears vengeance upon the world, and along with his newfound accomplices, becomes the most wanted man on Earth after he gets his hands on a mysterious power. With a power that is nothing short of a curse, Vonn is willing to wreak torture upon his enemies even if meant torture to himself, as well. In the end, the truth of justice is just a matter of one's individual truth. NOTE: PATO contains extreme gore, mature/harsh languages and sexual violence. Not for younger readers!! Author's note: "As a creative artist and novice author, I, Zikky, am excited to introduce my debut novel, PATO. I'm eager to share my work with you and embark on this literary journey together. As for PATO, don't be surprised if it turns out to be the best work of fiction you'll ever read. I'm not aiming to come across as arrogant, but I do want to warn you that PATO will draw you in and refuse to let go. But first, you have to be willing to take the leap and read it! If you pride yourself on being a reader, then I challenge you to dive into PATO's world and see where it takes you. (Be warned, though: once you start, it's hard to escape!) My inspirations for PATO are rooted in the incredible works of Hajime Isayama, specifically Attack on Titan, as well as the captivating world of Japanese manga and anime. I have immense respect for Isayama's masterful storytelling and complex character development. Additionally, I draw inspiration from the unpredictable and often twisted nature of Tatsuki Fujimoto's works. So, I ask you: Are you ready to embrace the PATO experience?"

The Dragon Prince's Bride

*Author's other work (She belongs to the Demon King)* *** They say opposite attracts, that's a lie. Opposites kill each other! When a hot blood meets another hot blood, things are bound to get burnt. That is exactly what happens when the pompous and prideful elven princess, Neriah of the Avelah Kingdom is forced to marry the brash dragon Prince, Barak of the Trago Kingdom. Neriah's goal is to someday break away from her marriage and run away with the love of her life, Lyle of the Niles. While Barak will do everything to keep her as a wife. Neriah is certain she's in love with another, but she's also certain that no one can ignite the kind of passion her husband brings. Her husband who she hates more than anything. Can the flames of passion be drawn from hate? Can that same passion burn down the walls of lies, betrayal, and hurt? Can its ashes transcend into love? Excerpt "I am a rose, a beautiful flower, delicate and precious! But you my dear sir are nothing but the thorny stem! Prickly, dangerous and very harmful!" ranted Neriah while poking his chest with her index finger. "Well you seem to forget one important detail, my love." He calmly grabbed her poking hand. "And what would that be, my fine sir?" "That the thorny stem and the rose grow together. The delicate rose and the prickly thorn, they belong together my dear." "You—" "And no amount of ranting and raging will change that. You think I want to keep a witch like you? You are a pain in the neck. If I am a thorn then you are a piece of fish bone stuck inside my neck. I cannot swallow and I can not spit it out! I just have to bear it!" "You insolent bastard! Do you mean to say I am a burden!" "Well you are no precious prize, are you?" And that was it, she threw herself at him with her claws ready to mar his face, but he was quicker and he caught both her hands with one of his own and pressed her heaving chest upon his. Golden eyes stared deep into hers. They were as green as the fresh leaves on an orange tree. His fingers caressed her face, “You might not be a precious prize, but by the heavens, you are mine.” And his lips fell on hers, and once again, another argument was drowned.

the return of dragon ghost

In the late 19**, Lobo Dhib, an orphan from a forgotten and ancient land, embarks on a perilous quest for revenge. His life has been defined by suffering, each hardship traced back to a single, elusive figure who shattered his world. Consumed by vengeance, Lobo sets out to find this person, willing to risk everything to confront them. His search leads him to Arcadia, a sprawling city ruled by five powerful mafia syndicates, each more dangerous than the last. These criminal empires control not only the city’s underworld but also its most prized asset: mastery over one of the nine elemental powers. In this world, every human is born with the ability to control one element—fire, water, earth, wind, lightning, ice, metal, shadow, or light—but no one can wield more than one. Arcadia's Big Five use their elemental abilities to maintain control over the city, turning it into a dangerous battleground for anyone daring to oppose them. For Lobo, Arcadia is the final step in his journey for revenge. He knows that the person responsible for his suffering is hiding within one of the Big Five syndicates, pulling strings from the shadows. Each mafia group dominates a part of the city with their unique element, from the fiery aggression of the Scarlet Blades to the icy control of the Vero Cielo. Navigating these criminal empires is not just a test of survival, but a deadly game of strategy, where every step could either bring Lobo closer to his goal—or cost him his life. Lobo's mastery over his own element is the key to his survival, but in a city full of elemental powerhouses, it might not be enough. As he infiltrates the underworld, he must form alliances with those who may betray him and fight enemies far stronger than himself. Arcadia is a city of chaos, where the wrong move could end his life, but Lobo knows that the only way to find his target is to dive headfirst into this deadly game. His revenge may come at the cost of his life, but for Lobo Dhib, that’s a price worth paying.

Otaku Grind: Rise of the Reluctant Hero

Kai, an unmotivated Otaku, spends his days and nights lost in the world of anime, barely connecting with reality. His latest obsession, Eldren’s Wrath, is a dark fantasy series that explores themes of power, loyalty, and sacrifice in a world of fearsome creatures and relentless warriors. One fateful night, he dies unexpectedly while halfway through the series, only to awaken in its universe—reincarnated as a lowly, unremarkable NPC merchant in a rugged, hostile village on the outskirts of civilization. It doesn’t take long for Kai to realize he’s hopelessly out of place. Surrounded by adventurers, knights, and monsters straight from Eldren’s Wrath, he knows his days are numbered unless he finds a way to gain strength quickly. Just when despair sets in, a mysterious System activates, presenting him with a harsh ultimatum: level up every day or face relentless penalties. The penalties range from losing his meager resources to physical punishments, with each missed requirement bringing him closer to a permanent death. Reluctantly forced into grueling training regimens, Kai must now engage in daily quests, battle deadly creatures, and learn combat techniques. As he grows, he discovers that the System tracks his achievements through "Protagonist Points," hinting that if he collects enough, he may unlock the rare “Protagonist Rank.” Reaching this rank is the key to returning to his original world, but it requires him to embrace challenges worthy of a hero. Twist: Every action Kai takes towards becoming a hero brings him closer to the fate of the series’ true protagonist, with whom he shares a mysterious connection. To truly earn his “Protagonist Rank,” Kai must not only surpass the original hero of Eldren’s Wrath but also unravel a prophecy that foresees a dark force linked to his past life. As his abilities grow, so do his responsibilities, ultimately pushing Kai to confront his deepest fears, forge alliances, and embrace his role in a world he once dismissed as fantasy. Now, his lazy days are behind him as he battles for survival, allies, and the ultimate prize: a way back home. But will he still want to return when the time comes, or will he find a reason to stay in this world he once admired from afar?

#completed!!! As Sophia lay beneath Ragnar, she watched in awe as a primal energy surged through him. Ragnar's body trembled, his muscles tensing and freezing in place, as the runes coursing through him glowed with an intense crimson hue.

Ragnar startled, slowly opening his eyes. His irises slitted, elongating like those of a reptile. The orbs mirrored Ymat's, an exact reflection of his dragon's eyes.

Divine Card Creator in the Card Realm

Dragonic Scales RR In a world where duels determine everything from power to prestige, Jarek stands at the crossroads of revolution. His unique ability to craft cards, specifically tailored to a duelist’s soul, makes him a rare and dangerous player in an underground system controlled by corporate monopolies. These corporations dominate the legal production and distribution of cards, making it nearly impossible for rogue creators like Jarek to thrive. But a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is about to change that. The story begins with Jarek trading his custom-crafted cards to Benji, a nervous young duelist whose soul card—Chaos Rabbit of Trickery—has great potential but lacks the necessary support. Jarek sees an opportunity in Benji, not just to test his creations, but to use him as part of a much larger plan. The annual Card Kings tournament is approaching, a high-stakes event where the winner gains a coveted prize: the freedom to legally produce and distribute their own cards without interference from the corporations. For Jarek, this tournament represents his chance to dismantle the system that keeps independent card creators in the shadows. By partnering with powerful duelist and others, he plans to showcase the power of his custom-made cards and disrupt the carefully controlled market. But the tournament is no easy feat—it’s a brutal, cutthroat competition where duels are not just about winning, but survival. And with some of the most powerful duelists and corporate-backed teams entering the fray, the stakes have never been higher. Jarek’s strategy is to introduce chaos—literally. His custom cards, like Moonlight Chaos, turn seemingly weak, multiplying rabbits into rampaging, unstoppable forces, reflecting the unpredictable nature of his approach. He knows that if his partners can make a strong showing in the tournament, his reputation as an underground card creator will explode, drawing more attention to his abilities and challenging the monopolies. As the tournament progresses, alliances are made and broken, duels are fought in brutal arenas, and Jarek must not only outwit his opponents but also navigate the dangers of the underground world. If he can pull off his plan, he’ll gain not just the freedom to create, but the power to reshape the entire dueling world. However, failure means more than just losing—it could mean the end of his career, his freedom, and possibly his life.
