antihero

Some are reincarnated as the shining, pure character known as the hero of the story. Others find themselves as secondary, unknown characters, carrying no weight in the flow of events. And then there are those who are reborn as villains… villains meant to be struck down, forming the very foundation of the hero’s growth. As for me? I was neither a hero, nor an ordinary villain. I was merely a cursed soul, reborn as an experiment within an organization that worships an unknown entity. Am I just a third-rate villain? … I wished it were so. Because the truth is far worse. I am the character who appeared in the very first scene of the game, even before the hero made his entrance. I am… the Vessel. Discord: https://discord.gg/jpYJpHdMmn

"From every tragedy, something remains." For Veluthen Vexarythen, the remnants of the past are a heavy burden: a shattered shield, a fragmented sword, and a father who sacrificed his own health just to save him. In the Kingdom of Lunatharic, Theus is the ultimate currency—an energy that bends reality to the will of those who wield it. Within the high-stakes metropolis of Valthoryn, the Vexarythen clan stands as one of the Three Pillars, yet they are constantly underestimated. However, Veluthen hides a secret that could dismantle the kingdom’s entire hierarchy: a forbidden legacy left by his late father, Caedrin. While digging through the ruins of his history, Veluthen uncovers weapons of impossible engineering and a farewell letter written in a silent code. The trail leads to the Blazecrest—a clan from the state of Elyndora, a name that should have remained distant, with no supposed connection to his family. Determined to uncover the truth, Veluthen enters the Etherion Trials, the brutal gateway to the Central Council’s elite forces. Alongside his bold friend Serath, an inventor from the outskirts, he must navigate the enigmatic surveillance of the clan leaders and confront shadows that refuse to stay buried.

Just One Puff is a neon-fantasy adventure about chasing freedom in a world that runs on crowns, coins, and clouds of smoke. Oscar, a streetwise dark elf with a dream of making his name in the green trade, wants nothing more than to sell good weed, smoke in peace, and drift from city to city collecting stories and scars like souvenirs. His plans go sideways the night he crosses paths with Stephanie, a runaway princess desperate to escape a gilded cage and a future written by royal ink. Together, they tumble into a glowing underworld of black markets, turf laws, rival syndicates, and kingdoms that don’t like their rules being broken. Between late-night blunts, close calls, and unexpected bonds, their journey becomes more than a hustle or a getaway—it becomes a search for what freedom really means, because in their world, sometimes just one puff can change everything.

Evan Cole logged in expecting a game. What he woke up in did not allow logging out. There were no tutorials. No safety nets. No second chances. Death was permanent, and survival came without instructions. At first, Evan believed he was trapped inside a broken system. Then he learned the truth. The world was functioning exactly as designed. As Evan adapts, he survives not by strength or luck, but by understanding how pressure shapes people—how repetition replaces choice, how efficiency erases hesitation, and how systems reward those willing to carry the cost. Villages do not fall screaming. They quiet. They stabilize. They continue. And the more Evan succeeds, the more the world asks of him. Because in Eidolon Realms, survival is not proof of virtue. It is a test of what you are willing to become when the system stops asking for permission. This is not a story about becoming powerful. It’s about what survives when power starts asking for payment. The start can be a bit generic but please read till chapter 35. Kind criticism is welcome. One Chapter Daily!!

An epic story set in The Fractured World of "alvecia", where civilizations are built on a fragile balance between the "essential nature" and the power of the "intentional curse". The new system "kikinkai" (system of danger) represents a double Revolution: a force for the weak, a weapon for tyrants, and a mirror that reveals the deepest sacrifices of the human soul. The story follows a cosmic struggle about the meaning of true freedom - is it freedom from external restrictions, or from our internal curses

Hacking was already a bad idea. Stealing the source code of a multibillion-dollar game and hacking it was even worse. Helant just chose to be optimistic. Worst case, he goes to jail. Best case, he gets isekai’d. Turns out, it was the best case. When YGGDRASIL shuts down, Helant doesn’t log out. He crosses into the New World together with Momonga, Nazarick, and every NPC… carrying a fully hacked character build. Maxed races. Broken classes. Faith power that turns belief into raw strength. Let's see how it goes... for others. === 15 Advance chapters: Patreon.com/CorruptElf === This is a translation with some added plot Original: 纳萨力克的圣域神主

His name is Raven Lustre. And the universe fucked him from day one. Imagine this: You get isekai'd to a fantasy world. Finally, right? Your moment. Dragon slayers, demon kings, the whole power fantasy package. Except when everyone else rolled Dragon, Archangel, Titan—bloodlines so pure they could split mountains on day one—you got Incubus. 60% purity. The discount bin special. Not the "seduce and conquer" kind you read about in those masterpiece web novels. The "your pheromones are weaker than cologne" kind. The "you can't charm anyone stronger than you" kind. Which in a world where everyone else is a walking apocalypse? Means you can't charm anyone who matters. So while Gareth—the muscle-brained Titan hero—was bench-pressing boulders, and Astasia—the Holy Archangel with a body that belonged in a cathedral and a face she hid behind a helmet—was literally glowing with divine power, Raven was in the back. The strategist. The brain. The guy they kept around because someone had to think. And they hated him for it. Astasia called him trash. Disgusting. Bastard. Freak. Every curse word a noblewoman could learn, she threw at him like stones. He thought she despised him. Thought she saw him as the weakest link dragging down the hero party. Turns out? 89% favorability. She was a fucking tsundere. And he never knew. Never saw it. Because he was too busy surviving, too busy stealing quick fucks with noblewomen in hallways just to recharge his trash-tier powers, too busy being treated like a prostitute with a brain instead of a hero. Then there was Nyra. The cat-woman. Gareth's slave. The one Raven fucked in secret because that idiot was too busy drawing pictures of Astasia like a lovesick puppy. 96% favorability. The one who actually loved him. The one he promised to free. And he failed. An Incubus got who died at Hand of Succubus during their first Session. The End.

Two worlds shaped Azer Tor. One burned to ash. The other is starting to collapse. Born of wolfkin blood and high human magic, Azer was never meant to belong. Branded Deficient by the System and cast between cultures, he learned early that survival meant blood on his hands and silence in his heart. When slavers, monsters, and gods alike profit from the ruin of his people, Azer chooses a different path—one paved with shadow, lightning, and unforgivable choices. To grow stronger, he must hunt relics that devour the weak. To evolve, he must challenge dungeons that should not exist. To win justice, he may have to become something far worse than a hero. The world is breaking. The System is lying. And Azer Tor intends to rewrite both.

Born into one of the most prestigious noble families of the Eldros Empire, Kael Ashborne should have been a prodigy. Instead, he was branded a defect. Physically weak, plagued by a mysterious illness, and unable to wield power like his gifted siblings, Kael grows up neglected—cast aside by his family, ignored by his teachers, and bullied within the academy. In a world where strength defines worth, weakness is unforgivable. Yet what no one knows is that Kael’s body is not failing him by chance. It is failing because his soul is too strong. On the brink of death at fifteen, Kael’s sealed memories awaken—alongside a damaged system created by his own soul in a previous life. Not a gift from the gods. Not a blessing of fate. But a desperate mechanism born solely to keep him alive. With a body that threatens to collapse under his growing soul and a system that enforces cruel limits, Kael must walk a path slower and more dangerous than any other. Each step forward risks destruction. Each mistake could be fatal. Rejected by blood. Surrounded by enemies. Supported by only a single loyal maid. This is not the rise of a chosen hero. This is the survival of a noble deemed unworthy to exist—and the terrifying truth of what happens when a world mistakes restraint for weakness.

Zayyn Illya Kovalenko was just an ordinary boy, an orphan from the outskirts of Romania. Until one meeting changed everything. A simple encounter with a certain silver-haired young man.

A creed to kill every single Devil. ---- Author's Note: The story begins four years before the canon timeline and will eventually follow the canon events.

Silas Throne believed in people. He smiled. He helped. He mattered. Until the day a spider bite rewrote his body — and silence rewrote his heart. After vanishing for two months and returning to a world that never noticed his absence, Silas awakens with abilities beyond human understanding… and the quiet realization that goodness is often taken, not remembered. As strange powers grow and a vast, watching presence stirs within him, Silas must decide what he becomes in a world that moved on without him. This is not a story about saving the city. It’s about what survives when belief finally dies.

[Tower Defense + Infinite + Survival + Harem (Gathering Wives) + Upgrade] After regaining consciousness, everyone discovered that they had been taken to a strange building, forced into participation in an infinite game. This world was shrouded in mist, monsters lurked everywhere, and before those horrifying creatures, humanity was nothing more than insignificant ants. The only safe place was their personal room, and the only thing protecting them from the monsters outside was the door. Rover was brought into this world as well, but he was fortunate enough to obtain an SSS rank Class: Omni Mechanic. As long as he used [Relax], he could gain Omni Points, allowing him to upgrade anything. His harem not only helped defend his room against the monsters but also generated Omni Points for him. From [Rotted Wooden Door], he upgraded it into [Immortal Divine Gate] From [Wooden Bolt Turret], upgraded into [Radiant Turret] From [Zombie Virus], upgraded into [Awakening Serum] From [Normal Zombie], upgraded into [Hell Lord] His harem was upgraded as well, gaining strength that everyone craved. In a world overflowing with despair and agony, Rover was somehow living happily with his harem, as if enjoying a luxurious resort.

"Haha, and they call you 'World's best detective', huh? A perfect crime doesn't exist? Foolishness, Batman, foolishness~" "Let me show you a perfect crime... Done countless times, heh~" In Gotham City, under the shadow of heroes and villains, a new name rises. Darren Greer, a seemingly ordinary high-school student, is secretly Kaitou Kid—a flamboyant phantom thief who steals under the spotlight, sends advance notices, and vanishes like magic. With impossible disguises, flawless planning, and audacious performances, he toys with the GCPD, outwits Jim Gordon, and slips through the world's best detective, Batman’s, growing net. He doesn’t steal for money. He doesn’t steal for power. What he seeks is something far more dangerous—the art of the perfect crime itself. As Gotham’s heroes begin to take him seriously, Kaitou Kid’s stage expands from museums to the entire DC world. Each theft is a spectacle, each escape a miracle, and each appearance brings him closer to the Bat-Family’s full attention. Gentleman thief or unpredictable wild card? Showman… or nightmare? Under the moonlight, the phantom thief smiles—because the real show has only just begun! ... If you enjoyed the chapters so far, you can now read 12 chapters ahead on Patreon.

Points to note- MC is an anti-hero, specifically a “gentleman thief archetype,” not a villain. He avoids killing, bloodshed, and collateral damage. He exposes deception. He honors his own rules and promises. His conflict with Batman is ideological, not destructive. His enjoyment is in craft, performance, and intellect, not domination or chaos.

Adrian had always believed that he was an orphan until he wasn't one anymore. He lost his prestigious orphan status when a hot woman arrived at his doorstep claiming to be his sister.

In Cairnreach, the sun is a forgotten myth. Snow never melts, the moon never sleeps, and the nobility are born missing pieces of themselves—payment for an ancient pact that reshaped the kingdom. When the king dies, the crown should pass to his son. Instead, a faceless ruler claims the throne. The crown does not reject him. And the rightful heir is exiled. Fifteen-year-old Seraphiel—one-eyed, dispossessed, and declared unworthy—is cast into the slums of a foreign land, where cruelty replaces ceremony and survival becomes education. Abandoned by his saviour and surrounded by monsters wearing human faces, he forms a pact with the Tengo, an ancient mythos that grants him terrifying powers at the cost of his sanity. As kingdoms move toward war and forbidden rituals awaken horrors beyond the sky, Seraphiel is pulled into a council of rulers, Appellations, and inhuman powers—beings who can read fate, foresee it, or delay it. But fate itself may be lying. To reclaim his kingdom, Seraphiel must decide whether to challenge a crown chosen by destiny… or become something so dangerous that destiny has no choice but to yield. A dark fantasy of political intrigue, eldritch horror, and a boy learning what it truly means to rule in a world where reality is written—and watched.

When the world awakened, miracles became commonplace. People gained abilities that grew stronger the more they mastered them. Fire that burned hotter, healing that defied death, strength that bent steel. Humanity celebrated its new age, blind to the cost. Signs were ignored, labelled as inexplicable anomalies. The changes were small at first — easy to ignore — but they accumulated. Amid the chaos of this new world, one person awakened to a power no one else possessed: the ability to erase awakenings entirely. What right did he have to decide who deserved their power? That question, however, was the least of Logan Morris's worries; it was the least of his plans. But would the world allow an existence like his to live quietly, or would he find a way to make it work?

My family is renowned as the Family Of Heroes. My brother, sister, mother, and father- All of them are few of the greatest heroes of today's era. But although I awakened my superpower already, I chose to not tell my family. Why, you ask? Because my goal is to not become the best Hero, but to become the best Villain in history! ...Or that was, until I tried to challenge one of the strongest Superhero. After I defeated her, she fell in love with me?! Now she won't leave my side! Also, she's so much more scarier and insane than me!
