The Villain's Retirement

Hello, I live in the Demon Continent. The land of ash skies, endless night, and the towering citadel where the Demon King lives and rules over everything and everybody. No one dares speaks back to him. And yet, lately, the humans, guided by their fickle gods and led by their so-called heroes have started to win for some inexplicable reason. “Every day is so boring,” I muttered as I watched their armies breach our borders. “I feel indifferent about everything. Isn’t there anything that could make life even slightly entertaining?” However, lately, the humans led by their heroes guided by their Gods, have started an onslaught and was finally winning. From the highest balcony of the Demon King’s castle, with the smoke of war curling up toward me, the demon castle rumbled as the gates were finally breached and the fight of the heroes against the Demon King has began. While that was happening, I entertained these thoughts without urgency, without fear, just mild curiosity. Who am I, you ask? I am not the Demon King. I am not his right hand, nor his left. But if one were to rank us, I would be the second-strongest existence in this land. In a story, I suppose I would be the “Hidden Boss.” The truth is, I don’t know what I should do. Unlike the Demon King, I feel nothing for this world, no loyalty, no greed for conquest or power. If anything, I just feel tired. I do not feel any purpose. I don’t know why I even exist. I look from the veranda and watch. Before me, I cannot see nothing but the barren lands and the dark forests of the Demon Continent. I try to remember the color in the human realm. I miss it. Should I kill the Demon King and leave? …Tempting, but unrealistic. He’d annihilate me before I even got the chance. So I sigh, and I wait, and I watch. Then, in a twist no demon had expected, the humans defeated the Demon King. Just like that, a thousand years of war ended—and the world entered an era of “peace”. And so, with nothing left to tie me here, I left. Retired from demon life.

The Loom Weaver

In a fractured, techno-magical world, a young man awakens with no memory in a luxurious penthouse at the apex of power. His name is Wynter Ash. All he knows is the agonizing void in his past and the opulent cage of his present—a cage paid for by the harvested suffering of millions. Zero Point City is a volatile powder keg of Sci-Fi Fantasy, where magitek elevators pierce smog-filled skies and holograms clash with sacred runes. The city is divided between three warring superpowers: the militaristic Valdor Empire, the hyper-capitalist Aurum Republic, and the fanatical Aethelgard Theodocy. Their fragile peace is maintained by the Grand Design, a system where the most promising youths are forged into weapons and leaders in elite academies, all to prove humanity's worth to the uncaring Sovereigns above. Thrust into the role of Grand Praetor—the student leader meant to bridge these factions—Wynter is plunged into the cutthroat Political arena of School Life, where every classroom is a battlefield and every exam is a power play. Guided by cryptic orders from a mysterious entity known only as The Weaver, he must navigate a labyrinth of intrigue, ancient magic, and his own dangerous, awakening power. His body is a broken thermodynamic machine, a Cryomancer who freezes from the inside out, forced to consume external heat to survive. With no allies and surrounded by predators, Wynter builds his cabinet from the dregs and outcasts of the system. Together, this band of misfits must audit a broken world in a high-stakes blend of Mystery and Action, uncovering the conspiracy behind Wynter's amnesia while facing off against rival student leaders, rogue automatons, and the ever-present threat of his own body failing. They will challenge tyrants, seize illegal casinos, and unravel the secrets of the Great Design—all while the chains of the system tighten, and the harvest of souls continues unabated. This is the story of an amnesiac who must learn to rule, a weapon who must learn to heal, and a pawn who dreams of shattering the board. Genres: Sci-Fi Fantasy, Political, School Life, Mystery, Action.

Villian simp reincarnated as Hero

Ryo Minami was the richest man on Earth A monstrous investment banker who grew so obscenely wealthy that governments feared he would one day own human life itself. So they killed him. But death wasn’t the end. It was an upgrade. Ryo opens his eyes in another world… reborn as Mammon, a newborn destined to become the hero who must slay the Calamity of this world Morix, the villain of the very game Ryo once played. There’s only one problem: Ryo was Morix’s biggest simp. Morix was his favorite character. His idol. His obsession. And Ryo has no intention none at all of killing him. When the Path of Hero System appears to guide Mammon toward righteousness, Ryo’s corrupted soul does the impossible: He hijacks the system. He twists it. He breaks fate. The interface turns red. The divine code collapses. And a new system awakens: **[PATH OF GREED] The more he takes, the stronger he becomes. The more others lose, the more he gains.** From age 0 to 18, Mammon will grow into the most terrifying “hero” ever created a smiling devil with the power of a god and the instincts of a wolf disguised in golden light. The world believes he was blessed. Fate believes he is chosen. But the truth is simple: Mammon isn’t here to save this world. He’s here to own it. And protect the one villain fate demanded he destroy. But every action he takes has consequences. Because if the villain becomes good… then someone else must become the Calamity. And destiny has made its choice.
