Born into an abusive, unstable family and crippled from a young age, Harley grew up with pain as his only constant. Happiness was something he learned about through books—fantasy novels, forgotten histories, and imagined worlds where suffering had meaning. Then he died, and death wasn't the end of his suffering. Reincarnated into the world of the last novel he read, where humanity survives an apocalypse through supernatural "Awakened" warriors battling creatures from beyond reality, Harley should have been given a second chance at a good life. Instead, he was discarded. Thrown out of the noble household he was born into, Harley lived as a slave in the mines, a circus clown mocked for survival, all to eat. So when fate finally offered him the chance to awaken—to gain power like the others—Harley broke once again. Because after surviving a horrific trial, the power he awakened—although powerful—had a fatal condition that he could never accept. ... Author's note: This novel is dark, and the first few chapters portrays the MC's mindset from being an ordinary man to getting chosen by the Harvest. Everything he does is for his own benefit. There would be a female lead, but you guys would hate her... I think. I personally liked the way I designed her. Anyways, see y'all at chapter 100. Side note... the book started out very slow. Additional tags: No-Harem.

A top assassin dies after killing his own boss, and instead of staying dead like he should, he wakes up in a cultivation world that feels like it came straight out of every cliché he’s ever heard about. Broken meridians, bullied by clan members who look down on him, a father who gave up on him for a younger brother with better talent, and an engagement annulled with a beauty… or maybe not that trope. Nothing special. Just unlucky. When he finally decides to leave the clan and find his own path, he discovers something strange about himself. People drop attributes while doing things, and for some reason, only he can see and interact with them. A cultivator repeatedly tempering his body leaves behind things like— [Strength +6] [Stamina Recovery +8] [Body Tempering Progress +5%] An alchemist wasting herbs and ruining pills over and over drops— [Alchemy Talent (Low)] [Herb Identification +15] [Pill Stability +7] A swordsman practicing the same technique until his hands go numb drops— [Sword Muscle Memory +9] [Blade Intent Fragment] [Combat Awareness +4] And when someone dies, the drops become even more ridiculous— [Strength +321] [Death ×3] [Physique Fragment: Jade Bone] [Incomplete Cultivation Insight] All of it can be picked up by him. He doesn’t need cultivation talent, bloodlines, or a master’s guidance, because while others spend years training, comprehending, and risking their lives for small improvements, he collects everything they leave behind, whether it’s stats, techniques, talents, physiques, or even professions. In a martial world where effort, talent, and luck decide how far you can go, his path is simple. Let others work. He’ll take the results. ... My discord https://discord.gg/CZWPfzpRg

The 18-year-old Yamato suddenly found himself in the after life, but is unsure on how exactly he ended up there. However his reaction lacked the surprise or confusion one would usually expect form someone in his situation, as he would soon prove to be anything but ordinary. Having always failed finding meaning in his life and those of others, his emotional numbness and tendency to view most people and activities as beneath him becomes apparent when he meets the angel Yuki. Meant to judge his life and actions, things take a turn when he tricks her into agreeing to a wager that would change his and her fate. Achieving victory over the angel, he acquires her devotion and servitude, though he soon discovers the true face her devotion to be pure obsession instead of the benevolence she showed him at first. After a confrontation with God himself about his changed fate, he and Yuki are sent to a new world in hopes of finding what his previous world lacked: meaning. Yuki however has made it her sole purpose to win him over, baiting the slightest bit of affection out of him, genuine or not. Even just experiencing theatrical romance scenarios, which she artificially creates at the cost of others, becomes a normal occurrence. Though not reciprocating her feelings just yet, Yamato cannot stop himself from being captivated by both her beauty and emotional intensity, seeing her as someone who might finally give him the emotional experience he seeks.

A detective story in a world of no crime. A villain protecting safety of the people. And yet, Orion Winters, a private detective sets out to demolish the organization that had kept the people safe for so long—the villain, as he calls— all because they took his family away.

Aether Moirai was never meant to be free. Born from the final spark of the Abyss—a forgotten god’s last act of rebellion—he is the last vessel, a boy whose powers grow stronger the more his mind fractures. Bound by the Codex, a system that can rewrite history itself, Aether is hunted by worlds that fear what he might become. The Infinite Library has always been his home—a labyrinth between worlds where every book is a living realm, and every story is a battlefield. But when the tales begin to warp, birthing monsters and rewriting entire histories, even the Library’s endless shelves can’t protect him. To survive, Aether must step into dangerous books where myths breathe, legends bleed, and the wrong choice can erase you from existence. Each journey brings him closer to the truth of his creation—and the author who penned his fate. But the corruption doesn’t stay contained. As the stories unravel, their chaos seeps into the real world—kingdoms clash with empires that never existed, myths walk beside mortals, and reality itself begins to fray. In the end, the Library isn’t just collapsing into itself. It’s dragging every world down with it. And some stories brought by it could end the world in seconds. So can someone like him, survive in such a world. Even more, try and rule it?

Leo wakes up in a foreign world with no memory of his name, past, or purpose. The only thing he’s certain of is this: if he wants answers, he’ll have to survive. Forced into a lethal trial designed to forge assassins, Leo navigates a brutal alien landscape filled with rival killers, hidden agendas, and treacherous power plays. His instincts are flawless, his reactions precise. It’s as if he was born for this, though he has no idea why. As the tests grow bloodier and secrets begin to unravel, Leo learns he may not be just another participant, for whispers of a legendary figure begin to follow him, a being long believed to be dead, a God-Killer with no equal. Now a target of both fear and worship, Leo must master his skills, uncover the truth behind his identity, and outwit enemies who’d rather see him buried than reborn. Because behind the silence of his forgotten past lies a legacy too powerful to ignore, and a destiny that refuses to be denied. -------- NOTE - The MC in this story is a cunning vigilante type character who is morally gray and will often make questionable choices not befitting a traditional 'Hero' type character.

In a sea where dreams never die, he plans to out-dream them all..... A man from another world wakes up in the body of Marshall D. Teach, the future Blackbeard, years before the age of the Straw Hats. He remembers the anime, the legends, and how the seas are supposed to unfold. But memory is a tricky compass on the Grand Line. Every choice he 'knows' he should make pushes the world a degree off course, and every shortcut hides a reef. Armed with patience, a crooked grin, and jokes as black as his flag, Teach starts charting a different future—one where knowledge can be a weapon, but never a guarantee. From Whitebeard’s shadow to the Navy’s crosshairs, from back-alley taverns to skies split by conquerors’ wills, he tests how far a second life can bend fate without breaking it. He wants the greatest treasure in the world. He also wants to survive the punchlines destiny keeps setting up. PS: This is TL of a Chinese fanfiction. I claim no ownership of anything.

No plot armor. Just hunger gnawing at my soul and the promise of an ugly death. Then my bloodline awakened. [High incubus bloodline awakened] Now the viscount's wife gasps my name behind locked doors. The nuns insists that “purifying me” requires a very hands-on ritual. And the empress herself? Let’s just say her crown isn’t the only thing she drops when I’m around. I didn’t plan this. I only wanted to survive. But every time I seduce, every time I corrupt, every time another goddess-like beauty begs me for more… my ambition grows further. The hero thinks I’m just another stepping stone. The gods call me a mistake. But the women of the empire? They’re starting to call me something else. Their salvation. Their obsession. Their sin. I was meant to die forgotten. Instead, I’m about to turn this whole empire into my harem… one f*ucking moan at a time.

Oren was once an Antherion, a divine being untouched by mortality. But after a moment beyond comprehension, he fell into a Ruined Realm, a strange, mysterious world of the supernatural.

Death was supposed to be the end of Lukas’ miserable life. Instead, he wakes up in a world where humanity fights monstrous Star Beasts and awakens supernatural talents. But fate plays a cruel joke on him once again. While everyone awakens powerful abilities, Lukas receives the weakest talent in history: a pathetic skeleton summon barely capable of fighting. Mocked as trash and abandoned by hope, Lukas discovers a terrifying secret during his first hunt. His skeleton can evolve. By devouring the bones of fallen monsters, it inherits their skills, bloodlines, and powers. A Fire Phoenix grants Wings of Nirvana. A Star Wolf grants Meteor Momentum. Ancient creatures become stepping stones for endless evolution. While others rely on talent, Lukas claws his way upward through blood, cunning, and relentless effort. From wandering merchant to monster hunter, from nameless nobody to humanity’s greatest awakener, he walks a path no one else dares to tread. In a world where the strong rule everything, Lukas will prove one truth: Even the weakest summon can become a nightmare capable of devouring the stars themselves.

What was my name again? I suppose it doesn’t matter anymore, after all, I already left that life behind. Now, I dedicate my entire being to serving the Villainess. Everything else is secondary. *** A Sociopath, that was the only correct way to describe him. On Earth, he lived as a quiet observer, one whose days lacked meaning. Until he found her. A side character at first, then the final villainess of a cliché fantasy manhwa and thus, his obsession was born. After a sequence of strange events led to him being hit by a truck.... He died. But in these type of stories, death was rarely ever the end. When he opened his eyes again, it was not to heaven nor hell, but to a familiar world, one that had remained only in pages. But he didn't awaken as the hero, Villain or even a helpful side character. Instead, he was reborn as a butler, one that died even before the story began, and meant to serve Renelle Ardent. The woman destined to descend into villainy, to be cast aside by society, and to die beneath the weight of her own obsession. But this time, she would not stand alone. Just one tiny difference though... The Villainess is not following the script

Alternative Tittle: The Second Male Lead’s POV (in an Otome World) ────────────────────────── Starting a forbidden relationship with the duke’s daughter was the most reckless thing Lucian had ever done in his life. Up until now, his only risks were hunting rare saplings from dangerous places. Now, he was breaking the nobles’ rules. And it backfired, horribly. Not once, not twice, not thrice but multiple times. He almost died once, lost a few friends, fled his homeland, and then almost died again, but here he was, not really learning. "So dumb," the devil voice in his head whispered in disdain, "How more idiotic can you get?" "As far as idiocy goes deep," Lucian answered, accepting the new path of his life, "And it goes deep. And wide." Goal: get wealthy and powerful enough to afford more idiocy Current arsenal: blood, sweat, tears, and pure wits Start point: gardener End point: unknown ────────────────────────── THE CHARACTERS DO NOT BEGIN AS YANDERE, BUT THEY WILL SLOWLY FALL DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE AS THE STORY PROGRESSES.
