antihero

In a modern world, he was the forgotten adopted son, the perfect student no one ever saw, the boyfriend betrayed and ridiculed to the bone. When he finally broke, he didn’t cry. He laughed. And together with the only girl who understood his madness, he turned the school into a circus of blood, fireworks, and red confetti. He died smiling, in her arms, happy for the first time. But death was just the opening act. Reincarnated as two little demon children in a basket, left at an orphanage in a world of magic, they discovered that every victim of the massacre had been brought along — memories intact, hatred boiling, and now equipped with powers, levels, and skills to fight back. The treacherous ex-girlfriend. The 14 guys who laughed at him. The classmates who filmed it. The teachers who looked the other way. They’re all here. And they all remember. But Joker and Harley don’t want revenge. They want to play. In a world where women are treated as commodities and abandoned children are forgotten, they’re going to build the greatest circus that ever existed. With a family of eight insane little sisters, an eternal mother who hugs you to death, and a big sister who came back from the future — only to find out they’d already saved everyone. Because anyone who messes with their family becomes fireworks. And anyone who becomes family gets eternal hugs. Here, kings, heroines, goddesses, and even the victims themselves will learn the most important lesson: The Joker never plays fair. And the show… has only just begun.

“Wake up Samurai.” - J.S ----- Waking up in a boiling hot car in the middle of the desert wasn't on his afterlife Bingo card, neither was the very vivid memory of blowing his brains out, but hey tough shit. *System initialized* Neither was the overused and very annoying ding sound that played when a notification popped up in his field of vision or the accompanying headache and memories. “No dignity in Death huh?” “Well, I'm awake now.” ----- V a Rebel and Anarchist throughout most of his life, wakes up after his final act in his past life, a decimation of World leaders and Institutions equivalent to cutting down the Tree and Tearing out the roots. Waking up in an even more distorted world and remembering an old promise, he sets his sights on something more, this time, this time he'll honor his promise.

After traveling to the world of One Piece, he merges with the mightiest creature alive—Kaido, the King of Beasts—and ascends as the new Four Emperors. At first glance, his time-travel advantage makes him seemingly invincible. But soon, he faces formidable foes: the fated Child of Destiny, Master Joyboy, wielder of the Nika Fruit, and the legendary Sun God, the world's only designated savior. Will he merely follow Kaido’s old path, becoming a stepping stone for Luffy’s rise as emperor? Not this time. As a time traveler, he wields knowledge and power beyond anyone’s imagination. Armed with Nika and the secrets of cultivation, he sets out to attain immortality, overcome destiny, and reshape the pirate world on his terms. Witness the rise of the new Kaido as he defies fate, challenges gods, and restores order in a world of chaos.

Imagine waking up as the villain in your sister's cheesy fantasy novel. Yeah, not ideal, especially when that villain is destined for hatred, and a grim end in some forgotten dungeon. That's Astrid's new reality. Her old life? Gone. Her new mission? Survive. And step one means throwing the original script out the window. But changing fate is way harder than it sounds. In a desperate move, Astrid makes the story's heroine, Lyra, her personal maid. Clever, right? Except teaching Lyra magic and treating her like, well, a person, backfires spectacularly. Lyra's gratitude twists into something intense, dark, and possessive. And she's not the only one. Astrid tries mending fences with her powerful aunt, only to find herself smothered by a love that feels dangerously close to madness. Even her ambitious half-sister, originally her rival, gets weirdly attached after Astrid shows her a bit of warmth and helps her gain power using some modern-world smarts. Astrid thought she was being clever, building alliances, creating intelligence networks, rewriting roles. She is changing the story, but it's warping everyone around her. Their loyalty? It's becoming obsession. Their affection? A dangerous fixation. Now, Astrid isn't just fighting the plot. She's drowning in a mess of her own making – caught between people who crave her, tangled in lies and affections twisted way out of shape. Everyone wants her, and sharing isn't remotely on their agenda.

For two millennia, the land has been ruled by mindless monsters. The hero has descended–and he is dead. Only one knows the truth. In a brutal world, a talentless child might not have the power to save humanity, but with a mind forged in calculation and madness, he may have just enough to avenge the brother he lost.

With zero knowledge of the Naruto universe, Linto is suddenly reincarnated into Konoha as an Uchiha—on the very night of the clan's massacre. Luckily for him, he arrives equipped with a JOJO Stand System. Taijutsu fight? Summon Star Platinum! Long-range battle? Call Weather Report! Need for speed? Activate Made in Heaven! One by one, powerful Stands manifest behind him. But as his power grows, so does the list of people who want him dead. Itachi Uchiha wants him eliminated. Danzo wants him for experimentation. Obito wants him silenced. Even Madara Uchiha sees him as a threat. Linto soon realizes his enemies aren't just a few individuals—it's the entire twisted, cannibalistic world he's landed in. "If you refuse to be a master of power," Obito tells him, "you are doomed to be its slave. That is the immutable rule of the ninja world." "But just because a rule exists, does that make it right?" Linto makes his choice: "If this world is broken, then I will shatter it and build a new one." His goal is simple: to make people live like human beings.

Alternative Title: The Second Male Lead’s POV (in an Otome World) ────────────────────────── SYNOPSIS: Starting a forbidden relationship with the duke’s daughter was the most reckless thing Lucian had ever done in his life. Up until now, his only risks were hunting rare saplings from dangerous places. Now, he was breaking the nobles’ rules. And it backfired, horribly. Not once, not twice, not thrice but multiple times. He almost died once, lost a few friends, fled his homeland, and then almost died again, but here he was, not really learning. "So dumb," the devil voice in his head whispered in disdain, "How more idiotic can you get?" "As far as idiocy goes deep," Lucian answered, accepting the new path of his life, "And it goes deep. And wide." Goal: get wealthy and powerful enough to afford more idiocy Current arsenal: blood, sweat, tears, and pure wits Start point: gardener End point: unknown ────────────────────────── THE CHARACTERS DO NOT BEGIN AS YANDERE, BUT THEY WILL SLOWLY FALL DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE AS THE STORY PROGRESSES.

[Naruto] Time Travel: Starting with Hashirama's Cells Betraying the Leaf: Sasuke's Path to Godhood The Otsutsuki God, Shibai, descended. And the Shinobi World was erased. No amount of willpower, friendship, or Jutsu mattered. Sasuke Uchiha watched his wife, his daughter, his only true friend, and his disciples get slaughtered like insects. In his dying breath, sacrificing a Mangekyou Sharingan for Izanagi, and with the final desperate help of Orochimaru, he rewrote the timeline. Drip. Drip. Sasuke opened his eyes. Cold rain battered his face. He was standing at the Valley of the End. Across from him was a young Naruto Uzumaki, shouting about bonds and bringing him back to the Hidden Leaf. A blood-red Mangekyou spun in the moonlight. This time, Sasuke didn't feel rage or petty rivalry. He only felt the cold, calculating weight of the apocalypse to come. To hell with playing ninja games. To hell with the hypocritical will of fire. If a mortal body cannot kill a god... then I will become a monster that even gods fear. Abandoning the original timeline's foolish path, Sasuke embraces Orochimaru's forbidden research. Fusing the pinnacle of Uchiha ocular power with Senju Hashirama's cells, he begins his ruthless evolution. From Wood Release to the Rinnegan. From a rogue ninja to a true Otsutsuki. But is becoming an Otsutsuki enough to stop Shibai? No. He will have to devour them all. [What to Expect] Ruthless MC: Pragmatic, cold, and utterly unforgiving. No "Talk no Jutsu." Extreme Evolution: Scientific ninja tools + Bloodline fusion. Watch Sasuke hack the genetic code of the Shinobi world. Fast-paced Action: Curbstomping original timeline threats with future knowledge and absolute power. Dark Progression: Walking the path of a supreme deity, sacrificing whatever it takes to save the future.

A new era begins in the Marvel Universe. Heroes rise. Villains scheme. Gods descend. But none of them know… This world has a Player. Name: Locke. Profession: Player. Authority: The One and Only. Divinity, godhood — all available for purchase. In a universe of mutants, sorcerers, aliens, and gods… Locke plays by different rules. Because for him— Everything has a price. And everything can be exchanged.

Legends are not born. They are constructed. Zane Dagonet had one job. Stay invisible. Stay average. Stay out of the way. Eldermere had other plans. So did the thing watching him from the other side of reality. The universe doesn't make mistakes. But when it does, it doesn't send an apology. It sends a correction.

“Ah… the world is ending.” Kamrik watched as the supposed “hero” was defeated and torn apart. He really had to wonder how he — an insignificant extra — had somehow ended up in the war that decided the fate of history. He couldn’t even learn magic! Not even a single unique origin spell. Meanwhile, the sky cracked, hope died, and panic spread across the army and the world beyond. Without their hero, there was absolutely no chance of winning. And as Kamrik stood there, about to die along with everyone else, he came to a realization. There was only one answer. Complacency. The hero was a god-gifted talent, blessed with divine favor, a prophecy carved into history itself — And a beautiful harem! He had been given everything on a silver platter his entire life. No wonder he grew complacent. Of course this is how it ends. As the world faded into darkness, Kamrik made a vow: If he ever got another chance, he would push that incompetent hero until he broke. He would never let him stagnate again. He would be that guy’s nightmare if he had to! Fortunately — for better or worse — the gods gave him that chance. Now armed with seven ghostly apparitions — alternate versions of himself carrying memories of their own world’s end — If the hero could not save the world properly… “Then I will.” “Even if I have to become the villain.”

I transmigrated into the world of Douluo Continent, where martial souls reign supreme. However, my awakened martial soul turned out to be completely useless, without even a trace of soul power. Destined to be an ordinary and insignificant person for life. Fortunately, a cheat system activated at the right time. As long as I crafted a persona for myself, I could turn that persona's power into my own. If I fabricated the persona of having twin martial souls, then once everyone believed I had them, I would truly possess twin martial souls. If I created the persona of becoming a god in the future, then as long as the world believed it I would become a god! Thank you for the support, friends.

“Am I a trembling creature, or do I have the right?” A self-insert finds himself in the faraway galaxy by the will of Emperor Vitiate.

On a third, Palpatine, whose vision of the future along the Celestial River allows no rivals. The Clone War has begun. All that’s left is to survive this latest Sith–Jedi meat grinder.

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.

The 18-year-old Yamato suddenly found himself in the after life, but is unsure on how exactly he ended up there. However his reaction lacked the surprise or confusion one would usually expect form someone in his situation, as he would soon prove to be anything but ordinary. Having always failed finding meaning in his life and those of others, his emotional numbness and tendency to view most people and activities as beneath him becomes apparent when he meets the angel Yuki. Meant to judge his life and actions, things take a turn when he tricks her into agreeing to a wager that would change his and her fate. Achieving victory over the angel, he acquires her devotion and servitude, though he soon discovers the true face her devotion to be pure obsession instead of the benevolence she showed him at first. After a confrontation with God himself about his changed fate, he and Yuki are sent to a new world in hopes of finding what his previous world lacked: meaning. Yuki however has made it her sole purpose to win him over, baiting the slightest bit of affection out of him, genuine or not. Even just experiencing theatrical romance scenarios, which she artificially creates at the cost of others, becomes a normal occurrence. Though not reciprocating her feelings just yet, Yamato cannot stop himself from being captivated by both her beauty and emotional intensity, seeing her as someone who might finally give him the emotional experience he seeks.
