antihero

Once destined to ascend as a Paladin knight, sworn to the church and forged as its unyielding blade, Gabriel's fate shattered under a forbidden ritual that ravaged his body and soul, twisting him from holy warrior into hunted heretic. Exiled to the frozen fringes of the Northern Kingdom, a routine monster hunt in the remote town of Eldenreach exposes a web of horrors: a corpse mutilated with sacred sigils, beasts fleeing an unimaginable terror, and a vast conspiracy that claws back to the heart of his tormented past. Now, with forbidden powers awakening within him, Gabriel must confront the shadows of his origins or become the monster they fear.

In 1950, a cosmic cataclysm awakened extraordinary powers in humanity, gifts of heroism and harbingers of havoc. Hero organizations rose to tame the storm, trading strength and status for loyalty in a world teetering on the edge. Ember City stood as the beacon of that uneasy order... until the shadows stirred. Five years ago, two legendary heroes sealed a Demon King threatening total annihilation. They vanished, presumed lost. Peace reigned—fragile, fleeting. Now, on a fateful Thanksgiving night, a enigmatic villain shatters the seal. The Demon King awakens, unleashing hell on Ember City. Streets run red. Heroes clash in desperation. At the heart of the fray: Black Mentis, the world's mightiest defender—and Alan Winchester's father. As the battle spirals into catastrophe, a desperate act channels unimaginable power into Alan, forever altering his fate. But such inheritance comes at a shattering price. Grief-fueled and burdened by forces his body can barely contain, Alan flees to China's ancient paths. There, brutal training and veiled secrets forge him anew—not as a hero, but as something forged in fire. This is no tale of capes and villains. It's the odyssey of a boy broken by legacy, fueled by fury, navigating hidden realms, parallel worlds, and god-like threats. His revenge ignites the spark. What follows could reshape existence.

"When did I last see the sun?" This is precisely the question that involuntarily pops into almost everyone's head when looking at the dark sky. A whole month has passed since the sun was hidden from Earth by dark clouds, plunging the world into chaos. Shortages of electricity, the approach of war, hunger. The combination of all these factors made people wonder if humanity had a future? No one suspected that all these problems would disappear a month after the sun's disappearance. Two guys—Asan and Lázlo—living in the orphanage complex Yensvald-Ost, could not have imagined that their lives, and indeed the life of the entire world, would be turned upside down in just one day. Asan always wanted to escape this place to gain freedom, but is freedom worth the fall of the entire world? Before he could even realize what was happening, Asan got the chance to use magic, and the already unfriendly world became even more dangerous. Will he be able to trust people and survive in this harsh, cold, and cruel "New World"?

Lin Arka, a child who considers death to be just a tragedy

He died a betrayed assassin. He woke up as the family disgrace. Yohan should be dead—a knife in his back, blood pooling beneath him, betrayed by the one person he trusted. Instead, he opens his eyes in a body that isn't his own. Mo Yohan. First grandson of the legendary Sword God. Weak. Powerless. A failure without a Mana Core in a world where cultivation is everything. His three younger brothers have already surpassed him. The servants mock him openly. Even his own grandfather has given up on him. After losing yet another duel to his youngest brother, he's been confined to his estate—a prisoner in his own home. But the soul now inhabiting this broken body is far from weak. In his past life, Yohan was feared. No one dared meet his eyes. And now, trapped in this frail shell, he's done being looked down upon. When servants whisper about his disgrace, he doesn't bow his head. When they laugh at his weakness, he doesn't walk away. He draws a sword and reminds them exactly who holds their lives in his hands. In a world of cultivation and martial arts, where power means everything and bloodline determines destiny, a ruthless assassin's soul must navigate the treacherous politics of a powerful clan—all while trapped in the body everyone has written off as worthless. The old Mo Yohan would have endured the humiliation in silence. The new one? He's just getting started. When a killer's mind meets a cultivator's world, weakness becomes a weapon—and mercy becomes the most dangerous mistake anyone can make. --- A reincarnation cultivation novel where second chances come with brutal lessons, family ties hide deadly rivalries, and the weakest link is about to break every chain that binds him.

The world of Caereth survives on lies. History contradicts itself. Gods rule, yet refuse to answer certain questions. Cities stand where ruins should be, and everyone has learned—quietly—not to look too closely. Faith keeps reality stable. Ignorance keeps it alive. Aerin Kael is not meant to matter. Born in the lower districts of a fractured city-state, he grows up watching laws bend for the powerful and truth become a matter of convenience. He learns early that the world only works if you accept what you’re given and stop asking why. Then he witnesses something impossible. A man is executed in public—undeniably dead. That same man speaks to Aerin later that night. Reality does not correct itself. Instead, it allows both truths to exist. Aerin awakens to a power that should not be possible: the ability to accept contradictions without breaking. Where others must choose one truth, he can hold two—and reality falters in response. Blades hesitate. Consequences arrive late. Certainty decays. But power in Caereth is never free. Every use fractures memory, emotion, and identity. Gods take notice. Factions move in silence. Wars are fought not only with weapons, but with belief itself. And beneath it all lies a truth carefully buried—that Caereth is not a world created by gods, but a reality held together by containment, omission, and necessary lies. As contradictions spread and history begins to unravel, Aerin is forced into conflicts far larger than himself: between faith and truth, order and freedom, survival and meaning. Each choice he makes stabilizes one fracture while tearing open another. In a world that endures by refusing to be whole, the most dangerous thing is not destruction— —it is understanding.

No NTR. No Yuri. Harem. One day, Nolan wakes up in a world where women rule, and men are meant to obey. Here, magic decides everything: authority, desire, and status.

For the first time, women who were born dominant feel something unfamiliar...helplessness. And something far more dangerous. As their control fails, a burning desire awakens. In a world where women never had to yield, they finally find themselves able, and willing, to submit to a true man. In this woman’s world, only one alpha exists.

Percival was once a hero, the Summoned Hero in the fantasy game world of Evernia, brought to save them from the wrath of the Demon Lord. After he did, he was repaid with treachery; with murder. But his story didn't end there. Percival regressed to the very moment he was summoned, retaining his max-level Swordsman Class while awakening a new, darker one: Necromancer. As the only dual-class Awakener, Percival summons Skeleton and Soul Soldiers, training them with his Swordsman expertise to become the fiercest warriors in all three kingdoms. This time, Percival refuses to be the Hero, even when the Kings offer him wealth and an army of Awakeners to aid him. Why borrow an army when he could just summon his own?

Any resemblance to real names, places, or events is coincidental. This is an extremely fast-paced novel, and the protagonist becomes absurdly overpowered. He is not the usual “hero complex” type. The villain and antihero tags are not for show. If you are looking for a “goody-two-shoes” protagonist, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. Note for Readers (Please do not skip): Early on, Kailen awakens with a shadow affinity. Yes—it may remind you of popular works you've read… but this is only the beginning. As the story progresses, he will unlock and master multiple affinities, each adding a unique blend to his path. The shadow affinity is a nod to some of my favorite novels, but the journey, characters, and world are entirely my own. Join the Community: Care to interact with me and other readers?

Eren Kai was meant to die quietly. Labeled a traitor overnight, abandoned by the woman he loved, hunted by the woman he had trusted, and formally sentenced to death, he was delivered to his execution. As the blade fell, an ancient power answered— devouring sin. To resurrect the woman he loved. To tear down those who condemned him. He must willingly descend into the abyss prepared in his name. He is pulled into a hidden war where calamities wear human skin, ancient demons masquerade as gods, and entire bloodlines are erased to preserve a fragile balance. Each enemy he devours makes him stronger. Each sin consumed strips away something human. In a world that feeds on guilt and blood, the man who devours sin may not rise as a hero— but as the final judgment.

In his past life, Kai lived in his brother’s shadow and died a hero. Reborn into a world where bloodline is destiny, he was gifted everything: a peak clan, peerless parents, and a genius fiancée. But at age eight, his heaven collapsed. Branded "Zero-Grade Trash," stripped of his parents' memories, and betrayed by his childhood love, he was cast into isolation. Yet, when the Light rejected him, the Abyss answered. "Why struggle for the Light when you can consume it?" Now, guided by a mysterious fox and commanding a legion of "Children of Darkness," Kai rises from the shadows not to rejoin the heavens, but to conquer them.

Destined for doom, he was nothing more than a minor villain—meant only to be mocked by the protagonist and executed in the end. The plot pushed him forward, forcing his every step toward that inevitable downfall. But then, an anomaly appeared. Everything was moving exactly as the story demanded… until a certain woman took an interest in him. She freed him from the curse of being a disposable villain—so he could rise as the true one. ..... William, the proud heir of Count Delimore, had lived a sheltered life, untouched by failure and defeat. Yet he never let his victories cloud his judgment. His life was perfect. Until the academy. Until a sinister voice whispered in his ear: “Normal is so boring. It’s about time you show your true colors.” From that moment, William’s life changed—for the better, and for the worse. ••••••• A/N:- For a better understanding of the situation for the first few chapters, you will be primarily from the female lead's perspective.
