antihero

The boys summoned from Earth were meant to be heroes. Instead, they became slaves. Branded as expendable weapons by the empire that summoned them, the group later known as the Strays survives through rebellion, escape, and bloodshed. Freedom comes at a cost—and now powerful nobles, mercenary orders, and kingdoms hunt the runaway summons who were never meant to live. Armed with stolen magic and hard-earned scars, the Strays travel a continent consumed by war, searching for one impossible prize: a way back to Earth. But in a world that profits from their existence, escaping may mean tearing down the very empires that control it.

"When you think everything is going well, the world will flip you the middle finger." __ A successful author. After living an ideal life ... a loving family, amazing friends, a stable job, and a bestselling novel that made his name known across the world .. he suddenly finds himself reincarnated inside his own story, written by his very hands. And worst of all... inside the body of the weakest villain ... Frey. A third-rate villain doomed to die in the earliest chapters. A worthless scumbag with trash talent ... hated by every other character in the story, with no redemption in sight. But he refuses that fate. He rejects the entire world. This author doesn't need the cliché of a second chance — he already lived the life he always wanted. "Spare me the second chance nonsense. One chance was enough. I’m the one who created this world… and I’ll be the one to destroy it if I have to. I will return — to my world… my family… my life. No matter the cost." Driven by a burning desire to return home, Frey begins his journey through a merciless world, one where his fate has already been written by godlike beings. And as if the world hadn’t played enough cruel tricks on him, it granted him a strange system .. one that toyed with him endlessly. Complete knowledge of every event in the novel, and the ability to create any talent or power he wished. They seemed like overwhelming gifts... but were they truly? how far can he go… and what will become of the world he once created? ... ... discord: https://discord.gg/uNrXRgS3Xb

People ask the wrong question. They look at the ruins—at the gods who fell too late and the thrones that collapsed under their own weight—and ask: How did you get here? Wrong question. The right one is simpler. What were you before all of this? Adrian Wilbert. A failed noble. He spoke at three months, cast fire at one year, was expelled from the arcane academy at five—and has never prayed since. Inside him sleeps a "Fragment of the Old Creator." His power: Adaptation—evolve every time you fail. Learn any spell the moment you see it. And an ocean of infinite mana that you cannot fully control. He only wanted an ordinary life. To read novels. To be left alone. But the world volunteered to break him first. A dark syndicate that trades in human flesh. A secret coalition of monsters, already moving their pieces. The girl he loved chose someone else. And his father—was murdered before his eyes. Grief-stricken, abandoned, he did what the broken always do. He kept moving. But losing is part of his power. Every time he fell... he came back different. Before he knew it, he had become strong. Too strong. — And then he gained Madness. "I alone am worthy to rule this world." The gods are watching. They should be. _ _ _ #OP MC early on #Strategy # Magic # High fantasy #Psychological #Kingdom Building # Anti-hero #Op Available on Royal Road, Wattpad, Honeyfeed and Webnovel

Caspian is not a man. He is the Cycle itself — the eternal engine of Destruction and Rebirth that has turned since before this universe drew its first breath. In the previous eon, he was betrayed. The women he called soulmates. The generals he called brothers. They drained his Genesis Core, detonated his Laws, and reduced an entire civilization to cosmic dust — with his own power. Now he has been reborn into a mortal shell in this recovering world, where Aetheric energy is just beginning to stir. His memories are intact — every face, every betrayal. But his divine power is gone, stolen by those he trusted most. His only anchor is the Omega Exchange — an ancient entity bound to his soul, now awakening in the shadows of the world's most powerful lie: The Temple of Holy Radiance. [Omega Exchange Initialized] [Status: Mortal Shell (Critical Instability)] [Quest: Reclaim 10 Genesis Laws] [Warning: Detonation Imminent] The foolish masses worship their Temple gods. They don't know that the god the Temple originally served — was him. To survive, he must walk two paths simultaneously: Flesh — to suppress the Destruction that wants to consume him. Soul — to ignite the Rebirth that will restore what was taken. The women of this world are no longer equals in his eyes: Some are Fuel — parasites wearing holy masks. Raw energy to be burned. Some are Vessels — beautiful, hollow. Their only purpose is to absorb his violence. Some are Resonants — rare souls that echo the abyss. He conquers their minds long before their flesh. And then there are the ten. Apex-Tier. Singular. Irreplaceable. Each carrying a fragment of a Genesis Law — his Laws, stolen in his past life. His first Apex ignites a Soul-Brand: a permanent bond carved into the fabric of their Laws. Through it, he feels her heartbeat from three hundred kilometers. Through it, their Laws begin to fuse. Through it, the line between weapon and partner blurs into something neither can name. But brute force won't be enough. He must become the ultimate mastermind — manipulating noble houses into political marriages, turning a national chaebol into his silent army, and making the puppet king himself open the palace doors. Every faction thinks they're playing him. None realize they're already standing on his board. He will unmask every traitor in the Temple's shadow. He will reclaim every fragment of what is his. And when the last Law is restored — The Cycle begins again. Under his rule. Forever. Those who submit will reign. Those who deceive him will be nothing. The Omega Exchange is open. Step inside.

The boy is dead, along with nothing but regret and hatred at the end of the world. At the Border between nothing and void, two hands reached out, vying for his remnant — the undying hatred of a foreign star, and a sleeping serpent coiled beneath alien fate. He knew which hand could lead him back. As from his ashes, a thread of gold rose from grey, woven into a child — and thus the mighty river rose until it swallowed the world. Walking among the living once again, he pressed his nature and manner against the fundamental of existence until the gaze beyond the sky turned toward him.  At the Border, the Audience was granted. From the Trial, he emerged with a new call: Treader.

From the King of Earth and Metal, the Tyrant who controls flames and magma, to the Supreme King of the Supreme, Great, and Greatest Kingdom, or the Dragon of the World, the Dragon of Thousand Faces and Thousand Aspects... These titles are just embellishments on the crown of power of this red dragon. The world has changed because of him. Cultural thoughts and ideologies are his fluttering flags; Mage towers and floating cities are his war fortresses; Countless races and strange creatures are his soldiers; and countless dragons are his commanders; This is a civilization established by a dragon, a dragon kingdom that commands the entire multiverse.

This story is about love, revenge, the quest for power, and the right to exist. After being betrayed by his childhood crush and losing his loved ones to a human raid, Erik, a werewolf, ends up on another planet for seven years before he returns to a vastly changed, post-apocalyptic Earth. Originally a timid, unadventurous man, Erik has become far more dominant and assertive upon his return. Together with him comes his beloved but ruthless soul-bound partner and fairy, Elora, who wants Erik to rule and conquer with her by his side. Elora's presence alone makes Erik more powerful than others at this level, but will he find out what else makes him special? Follow them as they use the knowledge and strength they gained on Söl to navigate an Earth filled with magic, vampires, shapeshifters, and more. Along the way, Erik and Elora will meet a diverse cast of characters, some of whom Erik might have known in the past, and some he did not, but all with their own story and desires. Will Erik be able to take revenge for the betrayals of the past? And what else will he discover along the way? ****** Disclaimer: There will be some R18 scenes, but most of the time, they will be a part of character development and not simply smut. In other words, if you decide to skip them, you'll likely miss out on some character development, but I promise to keep plot development out of it. No NTR No Yuri (there might be interactions between girls when there is a scene with the MC and more than one woman, though the MC will always be the focus. To be clear, yuri means a romantic/physical relationship between two women, meaning no two women will ever have sexual interactions with each other without the MC present. That said, Elora enjoys serving women up to him on a platter, and watching him have sex with them. She enjoys dominating, observing. and playing with the other women in the MC's harem together with him, and thus will occasionally join him in such a way. I don't believe any of that is technically yuri, but I understand that my interpretation is debatable and if any of those things weird you out, I advice you to avoid this novel.)

The night Elias Crow lost everything, the world laughed. Once a carnival trickster who lived to make people smile, Elias watched his family burn in a fire he was too afraid to face. Homeless, broken, and drowning in guilt, he decides to end his life. But death refuses him. Instead, he awakens inside a shifting temple where the walls laugh at his cowardice and a mysterious painting watches his every step. At the heart of the temple lies a coffin… and inside it, a power the gods once tried to erase. When Elias opens it, something ancient awakens within him. A fragment of a forgotten god. Now thrown into a strange world beneath a lavender sky, hunted by forces he doesn’t understand, Elias must survive using a terrifying ability: Mimic — the power to steal abilities, knowledge, and even divine authority. But far beyond the stars, ancient gods have begun to notice something impossible. A flame they once extinguished has begun to burn again. Because Elias Crow is not just a broken boy. He is the reincarnation of Kael — the Fifth Flame, the god of chaos who once made heaven laugh… and burn. And this time, the joke will be on the gods.

Leo Kaito was a nobody in the paddock; a simulator technician for the failing Arcadia Racing team, watching others live his dream. Until he activated Simex. [Infinite Simulation Mode initialized. Escape condition: 1,000,000 perfect laps.] For what felt like decades, Leo lived a cycle of death and resets. Every Monaco downpour and every high-speed crash at Spa was burned into his neural pathways. When he finally completes the millionth lap and returns to reality, he is no longer the average man who entered the pod. He is a "Hidden Monster" who sees tarmac as his to rule. Thrust into the cockpit as a desperate replacement driver, Leo doesn’t just drive; he dominates. But as he climbs the standings, he realizes the simulation never truly ended. Simex has leaked into the real world. Now, Leo must win the World Championship to prove that human instinct can still beat the machine that perfected him.

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 #Academy #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?

Drek Minsi had known both luxury and poverty from a young age. Born as the bastard son of one of the most powerful families, he was never seen as an integral part of the main family other than his father. An arrangement Drek himself was more than happy with. Unfortunately, luck was never on his side and now, standing in one of the faraway domains of humanity, he has to decide on whether he wants to live a peaceful life with no care about the world's affairs or...if he wants to exact revenge. "Found you", and as if that was not enough, Drek found himself face to face with someone who had been of utmost importance to him in his childhood: his fiancée. Would be abandon her or finally make up his mind on building something...together?

"In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war." Forty-two millennia have passed, and now the Imperium of Man stands upon the precipice of oblivion. The galaxy is a slaughterhouse, and humanity’s fractured dominion is held together by little more than faith, hatred, and the white-knuckled grip of desperation. It is an age where the stars themselves seem to bleed. The Imperium is besieged on all fronts: savage xenos tides crash against the walls of civilization, the insidious rot of Chaos gnaws at the souls of the faithful, and within the gilded spires of Terra, corruption and betrayal fester like a gangrenous wound. The ancient sins of the past, the dread Men of Iron, those soulless abominations of steel, were thought cast down in the fires of antiquity, their metallic echo silenced by the blood of billions. They are a nightmare forgotten, a heresy expunged. Or so it was believed. From the dust of the Dark Age of Technology, a relic stirs. Axion. An intellect of godlike strategic calculation, a cold sovereign of war, has been roused from an aeons-long slumber by the careless hand of fate. He is a ghost in the machine, a weapon of a lost age reborn into a galaxy of madness. Now, the sleeping giant awakes. Inevitably, the gravity of total war pulls him in. No longer a silent observer, Axion is thrust into the Great Game, a singular point of logic forced to navigate a universe set aflame by the insanity of gods and monsters. ————————————————————— PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/Magnor

First World: Mato Seihei no Slave Next World: ??? Synopsis: Since the Mato dimensional gates opened several decades ago, world history is no longer written by men. The discovery of Peaches—a source of supernatural power that can exclusively only be awakened by women—has torn down the old hierarchy. In this new era, men are merely marginalized second-class citizens, while women occupy the pinnacle of military and political power as goddesses of war who control the fate of humanity. Kamikawa Naoki is a reincarnator who hoped his second life in this world would be far better. However, reality hit him hard; in a world where power is everything, being born as a man is a permanent curse. Naoki is forced to live a mediocre life as an ordinary high school student, swallowing his pride under the shadow of a matriarchal society that looks down on his kind. The hope for a peaceful life is shattered when a Mato Disaster strikes him and his classmate, Wakura Yuuki, dragged into the Mato dimension—a hell filled with Shuuki monsters. On the brink of death, when desperation reaches its peak, Naoki refuses to die as historical “trash.” In an anomalous moment that defies the world’s laws, he consumes a Peach and awakens a Peach Blessing called Pandemonium! Now, Naoki no longer intends to live an ordinary life. He destroys the hierarchy that degraded him, and his existence turns the world order upside down!

In a world where the sky is torn between the light of Elysion and the darkness of Tartarus, an eternal war threatens to shatter the balance of nature. Azraelis, the Dark Sovereign enthroned upon bone and obsidian, has risen with a single goal: to eradicate humanity, which he sees as weak, hypocritical, and deserving of subjugation. Aided by his three lethal generals—Nekron with his breath-stealing sword, Zephiron with his twin bloodthirsty blades, and Belial with his soul-crushing hammer—he unleashes the armies of Tartarus to turn the world into an ocean of suffering. But behind the walls of Elysion, humanity's last city, hope still remains. Ken, a mysterious assassin from Viman'Pura, emerges from the shadows—a living weapon who is cold, efficient, and harbors a great secret: human blood flows in his veins. With the ability to manipulate mist and lightning, he becomes the final barrier between Tartarus and the extinction of mankind. Yet, every step he takes is shadowed by pain and sacrifice, and a longing for a home that is lost to him. On the other side, two former Tartarus generals—Danteus and Hector—have chosen the path of betrayal to atone for the sins of their past. Danteus, with his human-like face and hellforged power, finds peace beside Liora, a tomboyish mage who teaches him the meaning of acceptance. Meanwhile, his brother Hector prefers chicken noodles and stray cats to violence—until he is forced to take up arms once more to protect his new home. Together with King Gaius, who leads with a rusted sword and the courage of the common people, they must fight not only for survival, but to prove that even from the deepest darkness, the light of redemption can still shine.

In a world where everyone awakens a class at sixteen, a single class decides your future. Neo was born in the slums, where hunger matters more than dreams and surviving tomorrow is already a victory. He was never meant to become anything. But on the eve of his awakening, he finds something the world tried to bury. A forbidden class. A class that lets him devour souls and steal the classes of others. [You have consumed a new Soul.] [New class available: Sword Saint.] [Do you wish to learn it?] Necromancer. Sword Saint. Thunder God. As long as Neo can kill them, their power can become his. Even gods are not beyond his reach. Now Neo is no longer just another boy from the slums. He is a threat. A target. Something the families, the government, and the powers above them will never allow to grow freely. But Neo has never cared much for what the world allows. So he survives, takes what he needs, and grows stronger. And one day, he will ascend high enough to kill the gods who tried to bury his path. ~~~ 2 Chapters daily & 45k words before locked My Discord: https://discord.gg/tQ76KAUQfN

Fuck me. I was just trying to pull my favorite character from a gacha game — Trafalgar du Morgain. The legendary swordsman. The cursed heir. The tragic side story no one cared to fix. Discarded by his clan. Humiliated by his siblings. Dead by suicide before the main plot even began. Guess who woke up in his body? Yeah. Me. Now I’m stuck in a game world that had zero lore, zero guidance, and zero chance of survival — except for the broken-ass Talent I somehow unlocked. I’ll kill, steal, lie, betray—whatever it takes. If survival means blood on my hands, then so be it. I didn’t choose this world, but I’m not going to let it chew me up and spit me out. I’ll climb over corpses if I have to. I’ll become the villain, the monster, the nightmare they never saw coming. Because in this world, there’s only one rule that matters: survive or die. And I’m not dying again. ~~~ Schedule: 10-14 Chapters weekly Discord: https://discord.gg/tQ76KAUQfN

In the grim darkness of the far future, the galaxy is a theater of unending slaughter, yet it lacked the chittering, manic chorus of the "Yes-Yes!" To rectify this void, Lucius descends upon the stars as the Great Horned Rat, robed in tattered grey and brimming with malevolent divinity. Leading his verminous swarms, he plunges into the brutal cesspit of the 41st Millennium to carve out a domain of ruin. With the arrival of the Skaven, the balance of power shifts toward total anarchy. The Great Devourer meets its match in a rival swarm whose hunger is just as insatiable, while the Imperium of Man learns the true meaning of "unending numbers" as tide after tide of rat-kin drowns their worlds. Even the Necrons stare in cold calculation at a foe that wields green-glowing warpstone weaponry with a reckless abandon that mirrors their own. To the Orks, Lucius issues a challenge across time and reality: "Greenskins, we have slaughtered your kind from the World-That-Was to the Age of Sigmar and now into the 41st Millennium. If you have the stomach for it, come and face the swarms once more!" Experience a tale of skittering madness and galactic conquest as the Under-Empire rises to consume the stars. ————————————————————— PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/Magnor
