"The answer to that question, love," he leaned more until their lips almost touched. "I really wish there was one," he murmured, before crashing his lips against hers. Sparks surged through her in waves, but she bit his lip, hard enough to draw blood. The action seemed to make him stop and she pushed away from him. Kraven licked his lips, amused and a maddening look in his eyes. "Go away!" she yelled at him, tears almost building in her eyes. Why was he making her feel this way? Hatred burned through her veins and yet torn between this was an undeniable pull. "I will, love.." he replied with a dangerous edge to his tone and an eerily glow to his silver eyes. "If you can outrun me, first..." he added, taking a step closer and she instinctively took one back. "Run, Isadora..." he growled, his voice raw and animalistic, like a beast on the verge of unleashing wrath. "...run!" ~ A/N: This is Dark Romance, don't expect a sweet ML!

In a world where countless web novel universes collide, where soldier kings, mercenary overlords, god-tier tycoons, and even demons wage war against each other—where protagonists rise, seduce breathtaking heroines, seize endless opportunities, and battle for supremacy—there is one man who can suppress them all. A man who has finally crossed into another world. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in the body of a young man named Veil Lancaster. "A villain destined to be beaten to a pulp by the protagonist? Am I really just a side character?" Veil muttered to himself. But why should he accept that fate? His father held absolute power, his mother was a legendary business tycoon—what made the so-called protagonist superior to him? Fortunately, at that moment, he successfully awakened the Villain System. One day in the future— "Veil! You crippled me, stole my opportunities, and even took my woman! You damn villain! You’ll suffer divine retribution for this!" A protagonist roared in fury, coughing up a mouthful of blood. Veil smiled gently and said, "I didn’t do anything… This was simply your fate." "A pawn has only one destiny—to be placed exactly where I want it." Remember this. I, Veil Lancaster, only wish to be a charming and sinister villain. ------------------------------- Update Time: 9:00 AM (GMT+8) 7:00 PM (GMT+8) Additional chapters will be released at 12:00 PM (GMT+8) Average Weekly Updates: 10 to 12 chapters (without additional updates) Each chapter will be approximately 1,400-1600 words.

45 years ago, the Life Scale shattered. Now, spirits born from human emotions roam freely, unseen by most. But when Takami Ryusei, a struggling Low Grant level human, is caught in the crossfire of a powerful spirit’s attack, he barely survives. The near-death encounter should have ended him, but instead, it awakens something else: a system. Becoming a vessel of resurrection for a cosmic being, he must balance between the intoxication of power and his main goals. A guide to survival. A path to power. A chance to defy fate. Thrown into a world where guilds profit from hunting spirits, the 12 Seats manipulate events from the shadows, and the barrier between life and death weakens by the day, Takami must fight his way up from the bottom. Because in a war between humans and spirits, the weak don’t get to choose how they die. But Takami? He plans to choose how he lives. And he won’t stop until the system makes him strong enough to stand at the top.
