Lab Rats Janelle

In the festering underbelly of Ironhaven, where the air itself is poison and shadows whisper of dead gods, a gutter rat named Kael commits a sin that changes everything: he steals a Shard. Not just a crystal—a sliver of a murdered deity, pulsing with venomous power that adapts. It grants him gifts but demands a price. Every five months, the Shard screams his location to the wastes, and the hunt begins. Now, marked by the Inquisition’s fire and hunted by phantoms of his past, Kael walks a razor’s edge. And as Kael’s alchemy of venom carves a path through enemies and allies alike, the line between savior and scourge blurs.

“You are unworthy of taming even a rat.” Noah Green, an orphan, was an outcast, ridiculed, abandoned, and discarded as a failure. In a world where Beast Tamers rule, he was deemed worthless, unable to bond with a single beast. Expelled from the Royal Beast Academy and thrown into the deadly Wild Trial Grounds, he was expected to perish. But fate had other plans. At death’s door, Noah awakens the Infinite Evolution System, a power that doesn’t just tame beasts. It fuses with them. His first evolution? The Shadow Panther. Now, Noah isn’t just a Beast Tamer. He is the beast itself. Returning stronger, faster, and more dangerous than ever, he shatters the expectations of the Academy, defying nobles who once mocked him. But his abilities draw unwanted attention, from jealous rivals, dangerous factions, and the powerful forces that fear what he might become. Kane’s smirk widened as his Lightning Drake loomed over Noah. “Let’s see how long you last.” The beast lunged, electricity crackling across its violet scales. Noah exhaled. One moment, he was there and the next he wasn’t, only a flicker of black mist. Then he was behind Kane, untouched. Ding! [New Ability Unlocked: Shadow Step – Short-range teleportation through darkness.] Noah’s lips curled into a smirk. “Your turn.” But the deeper he climbs, the more he realizes his power is not normal. It was never meant to exist. The Ancient Beast Lords vanished for a reason and now, they are watching him. Will Noah rise to become the Lord of Beasts, or will he be hunted down before unlocking his true potential?

She was a 19-year-old girl who had been confined to an underground lab since childhood. She had never seen the outside world, let alone the sunlight. She knew how to speak, but didn't know what to say. She didn't know how to wear clothes or how to eat. The girl had no feelings; she didn't know what shame, love, or care meant. She was only given injections, so fear was the only emotion she knew. But one day, the lab was attacked by "Tyson Knight." Tyson Knight was a handsome 25-year-old with two sides: a rude, arrogant CEO and a dangerous, ruthless mafia boss who knew no mercy or love, only how to break people and inflict pain. What will happen when the girl and Tyson meet? What will Tyson ultimately do with her?

Aku ditangkap? Baiklah, tidak bisa kuhindari karena aku tidak bisa bergerak. Dijadikan bahan eksperimen? Setidaknya beri aku anestesi. Aku dibebaskan? Biarkan aku balas dendam. Ingin memohon ampun? Maaf, nona ini menaruh dendam. Aku menghancurkan lab jadi sekarang biarkan aku menjelajahi dunia ini dengan bebas. Entah bagaimana aku bergabung dengan kelompok Tuan Pahlawan. Baiklah, dia tampaknya menyenangkan. "Aduh, betapa kejamnya. Demi kehormatan menjadi pahlawan, kau akan membunuh nona ini ya?" Dia tersenyum sambil berlumuran darah. "Che, kau masih sempat bercanda saat ini?" Dia berkata dengan tatapan tajam. "Apa arti hidup jika tidak menikmati setiap momen? Karena aku akan mati dan tidak bisa membalas dendam sendiri, aku harap orang lain akan melakukannya." "Tidak ada yang akan melakukannya. Hanya kau yang lebih kuat dariku dengan Nanomancymu. Sekarang denganmu keluar dar-" "Diam anak kecil. Aku mencoba mati dengan tenang di sini." "Tapi aku ol-!" "Ap! Anak yang baik tidak mengganggu orang tua mereka." "Tapi kamu-!" "Dadah~" Dia menyeringai sebelum kehilangan kekuatan. "SIAL!" … Kenapa aku tidur di lapangan salju? Tuan Serigala menggeram padaku. Lapar ya?... Aku juga.

A blizzard had raged for ten days, with temperatures plummeting to below minus fifty degrees Celsius. Yet, that wasn’t the most terrifying part. The impending disasters of rat plague, extreme heat, drought, acid rain, tornadoes, and other severe weather conditions would follow one after another, each one a veritable hell on earth. Gu Pan was reborn seven days before all these calamities began. At this time, her Space was still with her, her husband was still alive, and she needed to hoard resources like crazy. Food, clothing, shelter, transportation, medicine, weapons, electricity, and all other essentials of life—she had to stockpile enough for the next lifetime. What? The ‘friend’ who had betrayed them in the previous life was also reborn? And they had hoarded a warehouse full of supplies, even more than them? No more nonsense, just take it all into her Space. After the apocalypse began, she and her husband kicked off a spree of zero-cost acquisition. In this life, they would take revenge on their enemies and settle all scores. Those who had hurt them would be repaid double.

In the kingdom of Azmoria, where noble blood dictates power and destiny, Aldric is nothing—an orphan abandoned at St. Ardin’s Haven, a nameless street rat fighting for survival in the ruthless city of Blackreach.

Later that day, Fin was out on his usual scrap run. The safe zone’s edge was a mess of twisted metal and broken concrete, leftovers from when the first Gates opened. He lugged a heavy bag over his shoulder, his boots crunching on gravel. The air smelled like rust and something faintly sour—probably a dead rat or worse. “Yo, Fin! Hurry it up!” his boss, Greg, yelled from the truck parked a hundred yards away. Greg was a squat, sweaty guy who acted like he was king of the scrap heap. “We ain’t got all day!” “Yeah, yeah,” Fin muttered under his breath. He bent down to grab a jagged piece of rebar, his fingers brushing the cold metal. His power kicked in—useless as ever. He could feel every nick and dent in the steel, like it was whispering its boring life story to him. 'Wow, so thrilling,' he thought sarcastically. That’s when he heard it—a low, guttural growl. He froze. His head snapped up, eyes darting around. The safe zone wasn’t *supposed* to have monsters. That’s why it was called safe. But the sound came again, closer this time, from behind a pile of rubble. “Greg?” He called, his voice shaky. “You hear that?” No answer. The truck’s engine roared to life—Greg was bailing. “Fin, move your ass!” the man shouted before peeling out, dust kicking up behind him. “Seriously?!” Fin dropped the rebar and bolted. He wasn’t a runner, but fear made his legs move faster than he thought possible. The growling turned into a snarl, and he risked a glance back. Something big and scaly was charging after him—green skin, claws like kitchen knives, and a mouth full of teeth that didn’t fit right. A monster. A freaking monster.

When the world ends, Yating just wants to graduate. But between her hoarder mom's "useful" stockpile of expired coupon books, her dad's concerning new hobby of staring at walls for fourteen hours straight, and her classmates slowly transforming into gold-flecked, harmony-humming mushroom zombies, she's realizing the survival guide for this apocalypse was never printed; just slowly growing in petri dishes no one bothered to check. Armed with: - A bio lab with one working microscope (RIP Mr. Lin, we barely knew ye) - Mei’s unsettling knack for spotting infected (turns out ballet training catches the half-second lag in their movements) - Wang’s vape mod turned spore detector ("It’s not just a bad habit," he insists) - Ju’s self-taught signal-jamming (and his even more impressive ability to ignore Zhao’s commentary) Zhao’s two actual survival skills: - First aid skills (thanks to his ER nurse mom’s "cheerful" dinner table trauma stories) - Tactical pessimism (his "worst-case scenario" plans are weirdly airtight, and delivered with maximum sarcasm) They’ll either solve the fungal apocalypse or become its next experiment. (Zhao’s already made complaints for both outcomes.) (Updates when the cultures show interesting results)

"Hahaha! A street rat like you needs to leave and learn his place. You can't afford a scrap of this store!" laughed Viscount Tern as Mark eyed a gilded sword in Rubenhold's market. But suddenly, the noble's vision began to blur as the so-called street rat pulls out a black card with a crown on it. "Valoria Bank Royal Card. Enough to buy your whole estate." Mark said coolly.

"You-you can't have that card! You must have stolen it!" "Take a look then. See my name on the card? It's right there, written in gold."
