Battle of horrors

trouble7_incarnate
#WSA2026 In a vast, indifferent cosmos, life feels meaningless—that death becomes the only act that truly matters. A cohort of youths awakens to this brutal truth when an apocalyptic catalyst shatters their world nearly driving to extinction. Making them seek powers gained from a mysterious system, they fight desperately to survive, contain, and eradicate the invading horror. Yet these actions drags them deeper into dread. The challenges are multiplied, opportunities becomes twisted and the line between savior and monster begins to blur. Driven by revenge and the duty of becoming the final hope of their ancestral world, they push forward. They gain the power they need… and they succeed. But what happens when the drive for power and authority vanishes? After all power without purpose is hollow. Now, with their old reasons gone, these youths who would grow must change, adapt, and forge new meaning while facing the true horrors of the cosmos—gods and ancient creatures that make their previous battles seem small. This is not just a story about gaining strength. This is the story of what comes after. A dark, slow-burn cosmic horror where survival is only the beginning. ----- Author's Note: English isn’t my main language, so please feel free to point out any mistakes—they’ll help me improve a lot! I’m new to web novels and still growing as a writer. This is a slow-burn story. The early chapters build the world, characters, and atmosphere carefully. If you don’t have time to read chapter-by-chapter right now, just add it to your library and come back when Volume 1 ends (around chapter 40–50). Thank you! ☺️ If you’re enjoying the journey so far, I’d be incredibly grateful for your support: reviews, power stones, and (if possible) gifts. Every bit helps new stories grow.

Plants vs Dungeon

When dungeon gates opened across the world, it became a gold rush. Hunters chased glory. Guilds chased power. Corporations chased profit. Phong Tran awakened as a Level 1 Farmer. No skills. No passives. A broken EXP bar that never moved. So he sold energy drinks instead. Leg warmers. Electrolytes. Power banks. If everyone else was digging for gold, he’d sell the shovels. Then Josh came. University golden boy. Gym-built. Son of a man who could erase problems with a phone call. “Protection fee.” Phong refused. He woke up in a hospital bed, beaten within an inch of death. His aunt and uncle were gone. No bodies. No investigation. No media coverage. Just silence. Then, as if the universe had a sense of humor, his system finally gave him a quest: Plant and harvest 10 potatoes in the dungeon. That’s it. No penalties. No forced missions. No ticking clock. No promise of justice. Just a choice. Phong takes it. The potatoes mutate. Then other plants followed. Chilies spit burning rounds. Sweet potatoes bulk up into blunt-force bruisers. Garlic turns chemical-warfare illegal. Enoki mushrooms rattle like dungeon-grade machine guns. His crops become his frontline. Phong doesn’t want to conquer the dungeon. He wants to build something inside it. A farm. A hearth. A settlement for people tired of being disposable. He won’t let revenge be the only thing he grows. Revenge lit the spark. But it won’t be the only thing he grows. And if the most powerful man in the city comes looking to finish what his son started... He’ll learn something the dungeon already knows. This farm fights back.
