antihero

{WARNING: MATURE CONTENT 18+} A man wakes up in an endless white void with a strange voice whispering in his ear about how he’s become the new owner of the Dungeon of Lust. He doesn’t take it too seriously at first, but when he learns his life may be in jeopardy, all his reserves fall to the wayside. It’s not long after he realizes the true peril of his situation that the voice in his head grants him the ability to summon defenders to help him; however, to claim sovereignty over his legion and rule these summoned defenders, he has to fulfill a condition with them: satisfaction. He grows confused at this condition until an otherworldly beauty appears in front of him, flaunting her alluring figure. Then, Vale, the man, learns just what it means to be the owner of the Dungeon of Lust. He struggles to hold his morals, but when the vice of lust is suppressed… it only gets stronger.

When courier Lin Ren survives a fatal night, he awakens the Ledger and becomes a rare Collector, someone who can touch other people’s debts. The first payment is taken immediately: his name.

꧁༒༺ Short Synopsis ༻༒꧂ A boy abandoned by his family awakens a forbidden System that lets him command vermin and beasts. While the world fights for rank — he builds a kingdom no one can see. And the world is starting to notice. A black-rank System. A hidden forest kingdom. Ancient powers watching from the shadows. ꧁༒༺ Long Synopsis ༻༒꧂ In a world where the System decides worth, Kael Valeborn was born worthless. Discarded by his powerful family and left to die, he awakens something that should not exist — a black-rank anomaly System. It does not grant glory. It does not grant prestige. It grants authority. Over vermin. Over beasts. Over territory. While others chase rank and recognition, Kael builds power in silence. Rats become scouts. Insects become surveillance. Predators become soldiers. And the forest becomes his first kingdom. But Kael’s System is not merely rare — it is forbidden. As his dominion expands, the world reveals its hidden layers: Ancient bloodlines that rule from the shadows. Controllers who mark and enslave living beings. Forgotten magic older than the System itself. Various races watching from beyond human borders. Secrets buried deep within the origin of power. And a truth the world tried to erase. The System is not neutral. The elite are not chosen. And Kael was never meant to exist. Weak to strong. Beast taming. Territory control. Kingdom building. Deep lore. Ancient magic. Bloodline mysteries. System war. This is not the rise of a hero. This is the ascension of a Sovereign born in the shadows. This is Vermin Lord Ascension.

Kailen Darkhaven had a simple, happy life growing up. But when a sudden misfortune claimed the lives of his parents two years ago, his entire world collapsed. His heart broke, his grades plummeted, and worst of all, on his sixteenth birthday—his final chance at hope—he failed to become an Awakener. By his seventeenth birthday, hungry, exhausted, and alone, Kailen collapsed in an alleyway, regretting how pitiful his life had been. As he drifted toward what he believed was death’s embrace… something impossible happened. Instead of dying, he awakened bound to a mysterious artifact—an object of overwhelming, incomprehensible power that defied every known law of the universe. For the first time since losing everything, a spark lit within him. With this second opportunity, Kailen vows to never be weak again. In a world where strength determines identity, status, and survival, he will rise above every boundary placed upon him. He will shatter every perception of strength. He will seize control of his fate. He will climb until he stands at the absolute Pinnacle of the universe! --- Tags: #Psychological #Interstellar( with advanced technology) #Unrivaled #ExtremelyFastPaced #UndeadArmy #NoHarem #RuthlessMC #Urban #Apocalypse #Mythical creatures( elves, vampires, witches, dwarves etc) #IntelligentMC(High IQ, deductive , strategic, high functioning psychopath) Disclaimer: This is purely a work of fiction. 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. He makes decisions that those interested in hero complex protagonists may not find pleasant. 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. 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?

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?

"Son, what's your plan after middle school?" Such a plan had never crossed Ryomen Sukuna's mind. What did he want in life? What kind of mark does he want to leave in this world? His father always asked him this question whenever he could, though Sukuna always never had an answer no matter how hard he tried. "How about heroics, son?" Oh, maybe there is one now. (No harem, only Mina Ashido the pinky queen) (shit romance btw) (Yes, Sukuna has jjk Sukuna's powers, it's all in one quirk) (no system) (This is just a story where he beats up bad guys, gets the girl and aura farms, not thought out at all. Tons of cliche stuff in here) (I'll probably get MHA: Vigilantes in here later) (This was never supposed to be a deep dark story or something, and I never really was a good author so read at your own risk.)

In a world ruled by elemental power, a boy is born with a forbidden vein that should not exist. Hunted by the government and feared by society, Tomora must survive a cruel world that chooses peace over justice. As ancient powers awaken and humanity reveals its true nature, he is forced to decide whether this world deserves to be saved or erased.

Omalga is ruled by Gods, Angels, Saints, and history written by the victorious. Then there is the Imp. A nameless killer whose existence threatens divinity itself, the Imp leaves ruin in his wake. Not because he wants to rule, but because the world refuses to let him exist quietly. As Gods manoeuvre for control, Saints hunt for redemption, and mortals chase ascension at any cost, the line between justice and atrocity collapses. Memories are altered. History fractures. Even death begins to lose meaning. This is not a story about heroes. It is a story about what happens when monsters refuse to stay buried. (Told through multiple perspectives, No Heaven for Monsters is a grimdark fantasy about power, faith, identity, and the lies that hold reality together.)

Wondered if a cryptomining app would make you a Superhero..or villain? Damen Dark is an unfortunate orphan trapped in a cruel household, forced to endure the abuse of his uncle, his family, and a world that seems determined to break him. One ordinary day, he receives a mysterious link on his phone advertising a new app—DemCoin, a cryptocurrency mining program. Damen knows it’s probably a scam. But curiosity gets the better of him. At first, the app seems harmless. It “mines” coins by targeting living beings—stray animals… and people. With little expectation, Damen uses it as a private outlet for his bottled-up anger, siphoning coins from those who torment him: his family, his classmates, the bullies who rule the streets. It feels like justice. It feels good. But DemCoin is far more than a mining app. As Damen accumulates enough coins, hidden features unlock—features that allow him to target individuals and steal their powers. What begins as survival turns into temptation, and temptation into transformation. With every stolen ability, Damen grows stronger… and more dangerous. Now faced with unimaginable power, Damen must choose who he will become. Will he take revenge on a world that never showed him mercy, or rise as a hero to protect it? The truth lies somewhere in between. In a cruel twist of fate, Damen soon realizes the irony of power: the stronger he becomes, the greater the threats that hunt him. And worse still, DemCoin is not just a tool—it is a force, subtly guiding his path. Whether he knows it or not, the app isn’t shaping him into a savior. It is forging a supervillain. And Damen Dark may have no choice but to become exactly that.

"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. Patreon.com/serioza Think of it as ‘Advanced Intel.’ While the audience is still wondering how the trick was done, you’ll already be watching the next heist unfold. ... 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.

I'll be honest with you. If you've been on Webnovel for more than a year then you've read a hundred similar books. High school boy dies in a road accident, gets transmigrated into his favourite book, and then does whatever the plot asks of him. What more could there be? It's all too predictable. Well… That's what Moon thought too. Except, he didn't wake up as a useless extra, or a third rate villain. He became the deuteragonist at the most pivotal turning point in the story—a position great enough to rewrite fate itself. And the cute elf he met in the abyss? She was never meant to exist that early. Now the plot is unraveling, the characters are changing, events are shifting, and he finds himself walking the path made for the original villainess of the story. The future he memorized no longer exists. His question is simple: If this world isn't a dream… then who's writing the story? ***** And fate was not changed. It was only rewritten.
