antihero

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.

Grimvale is a dystopian city suffocating under the weight of a rampant virus known as Disorder, which mutates its victims into terrifying, monstrous beings known as Freakers. Amidst the chaos, seventeen-year-old Daito Greyhell walks a dangerous line between survival and humanity. Trained by his father, a fallen hero, and his uncle, a ruthless killer, Daito is a master of combat — but it’s his unwavering moral compass that sets him apart in a city where corruption and violence reign. Daito becomes a reluctant protector, quietly battling the Freakers that plague Grimvale, using his skills to save those he can, even if it means walking away from the bloodied streets feeling more burdened than ever. But when the government deploys the "Savages" — dangerous individuals who gain monstrous power through the alchemy of human sacrifice — Daito's resolve is tested. In a city where strength is bought through sacrifice, Daito refuses to succumb to the same brutal path, even as he faces new, twisted enemies. As a wave of Savages sweeps through the city, led by those who believe that power and mercy must be bought with blood, Daito must confront not only the Freakers and Savages but the growing question of what it means to truly fight for what’s right. Torn between duty, grief, and the desire to hold onto his humanity, Daito must find a way to carry Grimvale’s broken weight without becoming a monster himself. But the city's dark heart is closing in, and soon, even the strongest may not survive without losing everything. Grimvale is a tale of survival, sacrifice, and the price of power in a world that has forgotten what it means to be human.

Instead of being reincarnated with no memory of his past, he can come back to a new world with the offer of receiving a legacy as well.

In his previous world, X was a feared and brilliant criminal. He led a massive criminal organization, possessed sharp strategic intelligence, and had enough power to challenge entire nations. Though ruthless, he lived by his own principles and morals. One day, after completing a fantasy war game in his free time he transmigrates into that very world. But not as the hero. He awakens in the body of Kael Frost, the game's final villain. In the original game, Kael was a noble born into the Frost Dukedom, which was the strongest after the royal family. He had no interest in training or holding his families legacy despite being the heir to the House Frost. He was a prime example of a spoiled noble brat. Seeing his constant failures and pathetic state, his family especially his father Castor Frost started to neglect him entirely. Discussions were held to appoint Kael's younger brother Kevin as the heir to the Dukedom. Enraged by his family's actions Kael began to behave in more pathetic ways as some sort of revenge. His relations with everyone started to deteriorate further and a public conflict during a grand banquet marked his complete breakdown from his household. Soon after, Kael disappeared from the society. A year later, driven by hatred and despair, he performed a forbidden ritual that granted him immense power in exchange for his emotions and sanity. The ritual succeeded, but turned him into a psychopathic mass murderer. Though powerful enough to nearly defeat the protagonist in the final arc, he ultimately lost due to his madness and the hero's many allies. That was how the game ended. This time, the transmigration happens after the ritual is completed. X inherits Kael's fully awakened powers while retaining his sanity, intelligence, and fragments of emotion from his previous life. With strength untouched by madness, he becomes far more dangerous than Kael ever was. 2 years later as admissions begin for the prestigious Namda Academy, the villain re-enters the world stage. Nobles are accepted automatically, while commoners must pass exams that test intellect, psychology, and potential. With knowledge of the game's future and the mind of a genius strategist, the final boss steps onto a new path. *** Discord Name- TheDevil_Supreme Discord Server Link- https://discord.gg/rMPpN8HEaw (New updated Link)

The Xineos Clan is gone. Not destroyed. Not massacred. Just… forgotten. Their final ritual failed. Their bloodline faded. Their name became nothing more than dust on old, rotting pages. Nobody remembers them, and nobody cares to. Except me. I’m Lucas the last living reminder of a clan that achieved absolutely nothing in the end. At least, that’s what the world thinks. What they don’t know is that hidden inside the ruins of my family’s failure… is a power no clan has ever understood. Not the Lotus Clan with their Pure Eyes. Not the Motomato Clan with their Clover Eyes. Not even the legendary Six Worldly Eyes. Because every “great” ocular ability in history? Every single one? They all came from one source. The Primordial Eyes.

One night. One bad decision. One voice in his head that won't shut up. Elijah Ashford woke up with a hangover, a stolen car, and no memory of how he got either. His best friend says he fought his bully, kissed the hottest girl on campus, and won a small fortune betting on himself. That's not the problem. The problem is the voice. "I'm you," it says. "The version you were too afraid to become." "You keep forgetting," it says. "I was born to save you from yourself."

Konoha's Blue Beast: "I want to prove that even if I can't use Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, I can still become an excellent Ninja. This is my whole life, this is my Ninja Way!" Clover's Roaring Emperor: "I'm going to prove to everyone that whether you're a pauper or an abandoned child, you can achieve great things!" Arlan: "If you want to know what else these two have in common besides being inspirational, it's that I was unlucky enough to transmigrate as Rock Lee first. Due to physical defects, I couldn't control Chakra to perform Ninjutsu. After protesting to the system, I transmigrated again as Asta, who can't use magic..."

Set in the Shadow Slave world...a time before Sunny was born...this story follows a simple soldier who must survive in a dystopian, apocalyptic landscape where magic and gun warfare collide. In a far-off Quadrant known as North America, a young soldier named Hope is 16 years old when he gets infected by the Nightmare Spell. He passed! But...he feels a bit scammed...? A flaw that makes him fade from people's memories... A cursed attribute that makes him remember everything endlessly in eternal wakefulness... It's as if the Spell is twisting his future and existence into an almost improbable one. All he has ever known his purpose to be was to serve as a simple soldier. Not too powerful. But not so weak either. And maybe, just maybe like some others, become an Awakened. Although he never dreamt of being one. Now that his whole life is compromised after his First Nightmare, his first objective is to survive on his own. But as he tries to escape his fate, his actions seem to lead him further from his goal. He struggles against obstacles that slowly grow bigger and out of proportion. Maybe the Dream Realm and the Real World aren't so different than one may think. Hope's journey involves uncovering secrets and gaining knowledge about his true nature and his new role in the world. Is he fit to be a hero? Could he redefine it? *** Please read the READER DISCLAIMER in Volume 0. This is my spin-off novel of "Shadow Slave" by Guiltythree. But please don't expect the same writing style, setting, and characters, especially the main character. This story reveals more about how people/cities/governments operate after the Spell’s arrival. I always find it interesting how maybe one country handles it fairly, but how others handle it with desperation to the point that you question humanity. There will be easter eggs pointing to the original novel either intentional for the plot or unrelated to it, but all for fun. I am a new author so props to all who bear with me and helps me improve my writing. If it is not for you, please don't leave outright hate comments. Eat wassabi instead if you want pain. Critique and advice would be great too. Cover Art: @ellieaedon I will be posting on RoyalRoad.com and on AO3 for some people's preferences.

Being chosen by the Knights of God will grant you immortality! Blake (smirking): "Who are you trying to fool? Satan is already ashes!" Improving your strength can lead to a higher status! Blake (playing with his fingers in boredom): "I think my current status is pretty high. There's no need to raise it any further." Life and death battles increase your domineering strength! Blake (looking up in surprise): "What if he really dies?" The people at the bottom of this world are struggling painfully. Please work hard to change the world! Blake (with a puzzled look on his face): "What does their suffering have to do with me? What will I do if they change the world?" Yim is too strong to be defeated! Black (reassured): "But there's still Luffy. I'll fight him after he's done!" Why do you dare to participate in the battle between gods and demons? Blake (crooked mouth): "I! Have! Hang!" This is a Gou Dao Tianlong person, get out! Blake (struggling): "I don't accept it! Why can't the Celestial Dragons just hide?"

Crimson blood pooled across the luxurious wooden floor, staining the pristine white priestly robes that once symbolized unwavering faith. Aeron stared in disbelief at his killer as his body collapsed backwards, a glass blade protruding from his heart. "Just when I thought I’d finally live a good life in this world… this is how it ends?" "Killed by an Echo, like some worthless nobody..." As his thoughts spiraled, a blue panel flickered to life before his fading eyes. A flat, mechanical voice echoed in his mind: [Ding! Loading complete. System functions unlocked.] [First activation detected. Please select your system foundation.] [A: Shadow Monarch System | B: Heroic Spirit Summoning System | C: MC Mod System …] In a daze, he blurted the first choice that came to mind. "Choosing A...

Matching you with the optimal option.] [Matching successful: Legendary Unkillable King System] [You can infinitely die and resurrect.]
