In a distant future where humanity thrives in the far reaches of space, the Skeld II, a colossal research and exploration vessel, serves as a beacon of hope and progress. Manned by a diverse crew of scientists, engineers, and military personnel, the ship’s mission is to push the boundaries of human knowledge. But beneath its polished exterior lies a creeping darkness—a sinister force that threatens not only the Skeld but the fragile fabric of human civilization. When a series of gruesome murders shatters the ship’s tranquility, rookie crew member Jean finds himself thrust into a nightmare of betrayal and fear. As paranoia spreads, Captain Max must rally his dwindling team against an unseen foe. Meanwhile, Kenneth, a trusted officer, descends into madness, invoking ancient powers and summoning the Dark One, a malevolent entity from a forgotten age. As alliances crumble and the body count rises, the survivors must confront the truth: the parasite that plagues them isn’t just physical—it’s spiritual, tearing apart their minds and sowing distrust. Their mission becomes clear: unite or perish. But in the face of overwhelming darkness, sacrifice becomes inevitable, and each character must wrestle with their own humanity. Hell on Earth is a gripping tale of survival, betrayal, and redemption, blending visceral horror with intense action. In a universe where shadows linger and light feels scarce, the Skeld’s crew must fight not only for their lives but for their souls. For on this ship, even the stars can’t save you from what lurks in the void.

Haruto Takahashi was just a normal high school student in modern-day Japan—until he suddenly fell into a coma, never to age, never to awaken. His condition was as inexplicable as it was rare, a mystery shared by only a few others in all of human history. But unlike the others, Haruto eventually opens his eyes, nearly a thousand years later, to a world he no longer recognizes. Humanity stands on the edge of extinction. Alien invaders, towering and intelligent, now rule the planet, and the remnants of humankind survive only in scattered, fortified enclaves, fighting desperately against their monstrous conquerors. The Earth has become a battlefield, its skies darkened, its lands ravaged by alien plagues and relentless war. But Haruto’s awakening is no accident. He soon learns that he is the subject of ruthless experimentation, studied by those who seek to uncover the mystery of his unaging body and the secrets he unknowingly harbors. As he grapples with fragments of memories from a world long gone, Haruto is thrust into a brutal struggle, caught between warring factions and ancient mysteries that blur the line between ally and enemy. With nothing but memories of his old life and a newfound world that views him as both weapon and relic, Haruto must discover why he alone was brought back from an endless sleep—and what that might mean for the survival of those who remain. For some mysteries are better left buried, and some fates cannot be escaped.

Sylvi Hartmann wakes up from cryosleep to find herself alone in a dilapidated spaceship on a planet light-years away from Earth. The ship's control room revealed that a few years had passed since the SS Pacific's journey to save the human race from the threat of extinction. As Sylvi explores the desolate ship, she discovers her parents' cryo-chamber missing, leaving her truly alone in an alien environment. Sylvi must confront the unknown dangers lurking there to search for her missing parents and the rest of the crew. Amidst the uncertainty, Sylvi hears approaching chants and a forceful crash. The ship's door is opened by a group of humanoid figures with unusual features—tall, muscular, and eerily perfect. Could these beings be a friend or a foe? Would Sylvi save the human race? or would she ultimately be the last girl on Earth?

This work incorporates many Chinese elements, making it easier for those interested in Chinese culture to understand the details. For those unfamiliar with it, reading may be a bit challenging, but they can still grasp the general direction of the story. (No harem, no clichés, no overpowered characters, no system, no mindless plot, no feel-good story. Proceed with caution.) When I thought it was just an ordinary day, I found myself captured and taken to the land of demise. When I believed that participating in endless death games was the only way to escape, I realized that people around me were beginning to awaken supernatural powers. When I assumed this place was a "land of god-making," everything started moving toward annihilation.

Being a bottom feeder in society is an unpleasant experience. That's how Kiro felt after being left for dead in a back alley. Abandoned and disappointed by the 'work hard' ethic his parents left for him. 'At least the heavens are weeping for me.' As the light from his eyes faded, he declared as the last act of defiance. He awoke in a room he hadn't seen in ten years. Whether it was due to sheer luck or divine intervention, he was grateful. 'Through the VR game, Asgard, I'll become filthy rich in this life time.' Kiro was blissfully unaware that his return was a cry for something greater, for the underlying threats that hovered over his world.

Maya’s senior year feels like one long blur, a cycle of classes, routines, and endless motivational posters that do nothing to change the fact that everything feels… off. But there’s one thing that matters—the "Last Day Club." What started as a joke between Maya and her best friend, Elena, has turned into an after-school ritual. The club is the one place where they can talk about what they'd do if tomorrow was really their last day. It’s their escape, a safe spot where nothing is too serious, and the world outside doesn’t matter. When the group meets one night at Riley’s house, Elena is mysteriously absent. At first, it’s brushed off—Elena’s always busy or late. But as the hours pass and there’s still no sign of her, Maya starts to feel something isn’t right. She can’t shake the feeling that Elena’s disappearance isn’t just some random thing. And when things take a darker turn, Maya and the rest of the group are forced to confront secrets they’ve been avoiding, realizing that the Last Day Club might not be just a game after all. What started as a way to kill time and dream up outrageous “last-day” scenarios is about to become something much more dangerous—and much more real. Because when the truth finally comes out, none of them will be ready for what happens next.

It shifts from one pace to another according to the plot. d.) The world-building is slightly different; you mostly explore the world through Main Character's POV. e.) The MC may feel more mature than his age but remember that people mature faster in Magic World. He is also ruthless and sly at times. f.) No Harem #Note# The story of Rishi starts from Chapter 2.
