HP: Don't Starve

TabooExistence
You'd better find something to eat before dark. Kane thought he'd left those words behind when he escaped the nightmare survival world. But even after running away from the Dursleys and arriving in what should have been normal wizard society, the whispers haven't stopped. The shadow creatures still lurk at the edge of his vision. And the dark powers he gained from surviving in that cursed realm? They're very much still with him. Shadow manipulation kept him alive when he had nothing. It protected him from starvation on the streets and from the things that hunt in the darkness. But in the wizarding world, those same abilities come with a very different price. "Approved for a VIP visit to Azkaban for using dark magic in front of Muggles." Dumbledore's face turned scarlet as he snatched the envelope from Kane's hands, hastily replacing it with another: Hogwarts Acceptance Letter. Now that's more like it. But as Kane soon discovers, hiding the truth about where his powers really come from is harder than surviving winter without a fire. Especially when the shadows start whispering again, and he realizes that some things follow you between worlds—hungry things that won't stop until they've dragged you back into the darkness. A crossover where survival horror meets magical education, and not even Dumbledore knows what he's getting the school into. __ Join us here: https://discord.gg/Gut3w8xgC9 If you can’t, no worries at all — I’m just happy you’re here!

Supervillian Lord Malachai the Dread is an awesome guy! No really!

Evil has a reputation problem. In a world overflowing with dark lords, liches, demon queens, and world-ending prophecies, most villains rule through fear, cruelty, and expendable henchmen. Burnout is high. Survival rates are low. Dental coverage is nonexistent. Lord Malachai the Dread is different. A terrifying presence wrapped in ritual armor and apocalyptic intent, Malachai is also an unusually considerate employer. He offers full medical and dental benefits, fair wages, hazard pay, and flexible scheduling. He remembers birthdays. He helps henchmen move apartments. He believes loyalty is earned—not forced. As heroes rise, rival villains scheme, and the world edges closer to conquest or collapse, Malachai’s organization grows not because it is feared, but because it works. Henchmen choose to stay. Morale improves. Productivity rises. And slowly, quietly, the most dangerous villain of all begins to take shape—not because he is the cruelest… but because he is the most competent. This is a comedic fantasy web novel about workplace culture, loyalty, and what happens when evil finally figures out how to run itself like a functional organization. It blends sharp humor with heartfelt moments, exploring villainy through the lens of management, ethics, and the simple power of treating people well—even while plotting the end of the world. After all, anyone can rule through terror. But only a truly great villain offers dental.
