The Arcane Gear - Rebirth of the Genius Mechanic

Isekai_Dreamer_07
In a world where women hold power and men are rare, a boy wakes up alone in the depths of one of the most dangerous forests. He has memories—some hazy, some painfully clear. Memories of a life before, where he had once been an energetic boy, a budding mechanical engineer, before tragedy drained all color from his world. Now, he is twelve again, orphaned once more, surviving off berries and instinct, waiting for parents he knows will never return. But fate does not let him stay forgotten. One night, an injured group of adventurers stumbles into his quiet existence. Unbeknownst to him, they are no ordinary travelers—they are a princess and her elite soldiers, wounded after a deadly battle against a notorious criminal. When they seek shelter in his fragile hut, he reluctantly offers them aid—not out of kindness, but because he knows all too well the pain of losing people. What starts as a simple act of charity turns into something more. As they recover, the women begin to question the strange boy who lives alone in the deadly wilderness. His words, his habits, his view of the world—nothing about him fits his age. And when they witness his quiet sorrow, the way he cries in his sleep, they begin to wonder... Who is he, really? And more importantly—can they convince him to leave before this forest swallows him whole? A tale of second chances, reluctant bonds, and a boy who has lost too much, set in a world where survival is never guaranteed.

The Walking Dead:Ashes Of Survival

It started with my brother — the first of us to fall. Without warning, an unknown virus crept into our lives. My elder brother was bitten — none of us even noticed at first. That night, while our family kept vigil at the hospital, over a hundred patients died suddenly. What’s more terrifying was what came after death: they stood up again. Not as the people we loved, but as bloodthirsty, mindless creatures. We were no longer their family. We were their food. Two months have passed since we hid ourselves in the ruined back kitchen of the hospital's canteen. Outside, the world we knew has been overturned, swallowed whole by the dead who rose. The same nightmare is happening across the world — no land is spared. There is no more system. No more police. No more government. Only the endless groans of the dead, and the desperate cries of the living. I am He Mo, just an ordinary junior school girl once, but those days are nothing more than fading dreams. Now, I carry the weight of survival — protecting my fragile younger brother, my sickly mother, and my aging grandmother. I have no superpowers, no miracle cures. Only grit, determination, and a stubborn will to live. More and more survivors joined us — not the strong warriors of old legends, not the powerful shinobi or mighty pirates who once roamed the seas. We are the forgotten, the weak, the unseen. And yet, united by desperation, we fight on, clinging to life in a dead world. Our purpose is simple — achingly simple: To live. Just to live. In this world now, human immunity is a myth. Chakra can't save you. Haki can't protect you. Bloodlines and ancient powers mean nothing when one bite can end everything. The rules are brutal: Never get bitten. Never let your guard down. Never lose hope. You, me, all of us... At this last, crumbling moment of humanity, there are no nations. No borders. No heroes. Only the forsaken, struggling to survive the endless night. GENRES: Adventurers, Apocalypse, Betrayal, Cannibalism, Female Protagonist, Near-Death Experience, Survival, Zombies
