skeletons in the vault

Fifty years ago, the Abyss appeared in the world, and the world was never the same. From the Abyss emerged Magical Beasts with unimaginable strength and power that sought to prey on humans and destroy the human race. Yet, alongside the Abyss was a power to awaken a magical occupation that grants its bearers magical abilities, enabling them to fight back. Now, awakened humans with magical abilities are tasked with venturing deep into the Abyss to destroy it once and for all. But there is more to the Abyss than humanity knew. … … Thoren Starfall has been plagued by disease since his childhood. To save him from the Mana-Eating Worm, his parents took a high-interest loan when he was close to dying. When Thoren Starfall recovered from the disease, he awakened the weakest occupation: a Necromancer. As an Awakener, it is compulsory for him to venture into the Abyss, but with a useless occupation, his fate is already decided. Having lost their first daughter to the Abyss, the Starfall family fell into despair. Thoren, however, is different. While everyone calls his occupation useless, he believes otherwise. Hidden beneath his weak occupation lies an Ex-Rank talent, one that even he doesn’t fully understand. But first, he must venture into the Abyss and return in less than 14 days to protect his parents from becoming slaves.

After suddenly dying from work exhaustion in the modern world, a young man named Clayton wakes up in someone else’s body in a foreign world styled like medieval Europe. Without knowing how or why he ended up there, Clayton slowly realizes he now inhabits the body of a teenager who has just survived a deadly illness—and lost his beloved father. But his new awakening isn’t met with hope; instead, it brings pressure and intrigue. The people around him—from city officials to seemingly kind neighbors—all share one goal: to seize the valuable house his father left behind. One by one, their masks of kindness slip away, revealing the harsh reality of this new world. With a weak body, a nearly dead farm, and a loyal, skinny dog, Clayton must fight to survive. He not only has to delve into the memories of his body’s former owner but also navigate a world filled with manipulation, magical creatures, and social injustice. This world isn’t just an escape from work stress—it’s a battlefield for his soul and pride.

[Revision in progress: 87/138 chapters revised. Currently updating daily. If you enjoy the revised direction, please support by powerstones, goldentickets, or leaving a comment.] In the year 2157, Earth exists as a nightmare landscape, forever scarred by the catastrophic Sunflare Scorch of 2057. This devastating solar event unleashed three waves of destruction that obliterated civilization: first, electromagnetic pulses that fried all technology; second, intense radiation that triggered horrific mutations; and third, the complete collapse of the ozone layer, which rendered the surface nearly uninhabitable. The planet's temperature rose dramatically, weather patterns turned violent and unpredictable, and ecosystems collapsed across the globe. From this crucible of devastation emerged monstrous threats that now dominate the Earth's surface. The Crawlers—horrifically mutated humans transformed by the Crawler Plague—stalk the ruins of once-great cities. What makes them particularly terrifying is their retention of human intelligence during the early stages of transformation; they represent an ever-present danger to anyone who dares venture above ground. These monsters combine traits from multiple creatures in twisted configurations. They range from human-sized to massive Leviathan-class entities and can work together with frightening intelligence to systematically destroy any vessel or settlement they encounter. Humanity's survivors cling to existence in underground vaults scattered across the planet. The most advanced is Cryo Vault Terminus—a massive subterranean complex built into bedrock with multiple levels of interconnected sectors. These facilities represent humanity's last bastion against the hostile world above, with advanced life-support systems, geothermal power, and cryopreservation technology. In this desperate landscape, where 90.4% of humanity has been lost and the surface world has transformed into an alien ecosystem, one boy awakens alone in Cryo Vault Terminus. He has been granted access to the Phoenix Core—an advanced, quantum-based AI system created by pre-collapse scientists as humanity's last hope. He represents the culmination of Project Phoenix—a desperate plan to preserve human genetic diversity and ensure the species' survival. With the power of the Phoenix Core at his command, he alone holds the potential to revive the cryopreserved remnants of humanity and begin the monumental task of rebuilding civilization in a world that wants nothing more than to finish what the Sunflare started. --- A/N: Inspired by FalloutxDemonSlayer This isn’t a smut-fest or a porn novel, it’s ecchi anime–inspired, relationship-driven survival. The MC starts weak and gets hammered by the world, his growth is earned through trials, mistakes, and hard choices. The story uses a dating-sim style affinity system: relationships must be built and earned before any R-18 scenes unlock. In short: bonds and survival come first; the ecchi moments are consequences of trust, not cheap fanservice.

In the vast industrial world of Ariety, a person's entire future is decided on their fifteenth birthday during a mysterious event known as the Awakening. Most teenagers dream of obtaining powerful Classes that will allow them to become legendary swordsmen, mighty mages, or celebrated heroes. Arthur Purchase has far humbler ambitions. All he wants is a decent Class that can help his struggling family escape poverty. Instead, he awakens something impossible. [SSS-Rank Class: Undead Factory Trader] A profession unlike anything ever recorded in history. With this unprecedented Class, Arthur gains access to the forbidden Nether-Realm Marketplace, a mysterious domain where the dead can be hired as workers. Tireless skeleton miners, blacksmiths, farmers, tailors, labourers, salesmen, managers, and countless other specialists can all be contracted to work under his command. However, there is one enormous problem. Every undead worker demands payment. Not in ordinary wages, but in Credits, artifacts, rare resources, and valuable treasures. The stronger and more skilled the worker, the higher their salary becomes. While other heroes conquer dungeons with swords and magic, Arthur builds factories, manages supply chains, expands production lines, and revolutionizes entire industries with his ever-growing undead workforce. As his business empire expands, his skeleton workers evolve alongside it. Ordinary labourers become master craftsmen. Miners become legendary excavators. Managers become strategic geniuses capable of overseeing entire cities. Before long, powerful corporations, noble families, and even kingdoms begin to fear the rise of Arthur's undead industrial empire. But the more successful Arthur becomes, the more dangerous the truth behind the Gates, the Awakening System, and the Nether-Realm Marketplace reveals itself. Because the dead never sleep. The dead never complain. And somewhere deep within the land of the dead, an ancient existence is silently watching Arthur's empire grow.

Full Title:- I was dispatched to a military outpost—but it lay within a forbidden women-only empire where no man could set foot. On my first day, while crossing its scorching desert, I was abducted by a stunning black scorpion lady. _________________________________ One day, I punched my senior officer—and that single mistake changed everything. As punishment, I was reassigned to the Auxiliary Support Division, specifically the All-Female Omega Base, codenamed Eden’s Vault. I almost refused the order, until my commander warned me that the alternative was the Tower of Nightmare. So I chose Eden’s Vault. They say no man is allowed there. Those who enter… only twenty percent ever return. And the ones who do are either discharged, traumatized, or left rocking in a corner, mumbling about “too many.” When I arrived, I thought the rumors were exaggerated—until I was kidnapped on my very first day by a massive black scorpion. When I came to, I found myself staring into the eyes of a woman so impossibly beautiful it felt unreal. That’s when I realized Eden’s Vault was nothing like I’d imagined—and that I might never leave it the same. --------------------------- AN:  This is just a feel-good story. It’s not plot-driven but centered around warmth and emotion, so please read it with an open mind. I wrote it because I wanted to feel that spark of beautiful love, to see my introverted character experience and create gentle, meaningful memories. If you enjoy it, thank you. There will be some mistakes, so please point them out and I’ll correct them. Also as this isn’t the main story, so new chapters might come out a bit late. """""""""""""""""""""""""""""''
