antihero

[WARNING:R-18|Explicit content, graphic violence, and adult themes] Ryan, a programmer who had always been a failure with women and, because of his job, never had time for dating due to constant workplace exploitation. One month before the release of his company’s most ambitious RPG, he decided to take revenge by adding a secret “bug” to the game. A hidden skill called Debt. Every time the support character healed or buffed a heroine, a mandatory debt was generated. An order that had to be fulfilled. And if it wasn’t claimed, the skill would execute it automatically. The company discovered the code and punished him by forcing him to work without pay to fix it. Exhausted and on the verge of collapse, Ryan dies of a heart attack before he can remove the bug. But he awakens inside the game. Now he inhabits the body of the Rank B support in a party of Rank S heroines… and the Debt skill is still active. Ryan will have a significant advantage, because not only will he gain the normal experience and rewards from leveling up, but he will also receive the additional rewards granted by the Debt skill. With an advantage no one else possesses, Ryan must decide: Will he become a tyrant who manipulates his companions? Or will he use that power to survive, protect them, and become the only support capable of reaching S-Class hero rank? Because this time, he won’t let anyone exploit him again.

If you read about my life in a book, you’d probably find it fascinating. From the inside, it’s just a suffocating nightmare. I used to know what peace felt like. I knew what it was like to be safe in a massive house, protected by parents who loved me. I was just a normal kid coming home from school, looking forward to nothing more than my favorite TV show. I still remember the exact moment the broadcast intercepted the screen. I remember the cold dread that pooling in my stomach as my parents’ photos appeared beneath a headline of absolute finality. I stared at the television, waiting for the broadcast to cut away, waiting for someone to scream 'Gotcha!' Nobody did. The silence that followed has lasted for months. I’ve finally accepted that they are gone, but I’ll never accept how it happened. To find the killer, I have to survive the wolves closest to the throne. My parents' organization is bleeding from the inside, crawling with traitors, and my first order of business is putting a stop to the bleeding.

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.

Set in the Shadow Slave world...a time before Sunny was born...this story follows a simple soldier who must survive in a dystopian, apocalyptic landscape where magic and gun warfare collide. In a far-off Quadrant known as North America, a young soldier named Hope is 16 years old when he gets infected by the Nightmare Spell. He passed! But...he feels a bit scammed...? A flaw that makes him fade from people's memories... A cursed attribute that makes him remember everything endlessly in eternal wakefulness... It's as if the Spell is twisting his future and existence into an almost improbable one. All he has ever known his purpose to be was to serve as a simple soldier. Not too powerful. But not so weak either. And maybe, just maybe like some others, become an Awakened. Although he never dreamt of being one. Now that his whole life is compromised after his First Nightmare, his first objective is to survive on his own. But as he tries to escape his fate, his actions seem to lead him further from his goal. He struggles against obstacles that slowly grow bigger and out of proportion. Maybe the Dream Realm and the Real World aren't so different than one may think. Hope's journey involves uncovering secrets and gaining knowledge about his true nature and his new role in the world. Is he fit to be a hero? Could he redefine it? *** Please read the READER DISCLAIMER in Volume 0. This is my spin-off novel of "Shadow Slave" by Guiltythree. But please don't expect the same writing style, setting, and characters, especially the main character. This story reveals more about how people/cities/governments operate after the Spell’s arrival. I always find it interesting how maybe one country handles it fairly, but how others handle it with desperation to the point that you question humanity. There will be easter eggs pointing to the original novel either intentional for the plot or unrelated to it, but all for fun. I am a new author so props to all who bear with me and helps me improve my writing. If it is not for you, please don't leave outright hate comments. Eat wassabi instead if you want pain. Critique and advice would be great too. Cover Art: @ellieaedon I will be posting on RoyalRoad.com and on AO3 for some people's preferences.

COVER NOT MINE Angel Adams might just have to be the unluckiest kid in the block but being a literal angel after death? Adams is rough around the edges who knew he was actually just a diamond in the rough waiting to be chipped out and death was the only way to do it. *** I open my eyes and the building's gone, I look ahead at the water body ahead and city lights, hooting, with the wind lifting me, my wings are still on fire and there's lightning coming out of my fists. I hear screeching behind me and veer around to see the most disgusting race of demons I've ever seen_on the internet, with these huge bat wings and blades on the edges, their fingers were blades too with fire coming out of their eyes, they were only two of em. "That one's ripe for the taking" "I don't want no trouble_Rafe? Raphael? Hey homie, I got trouble out here" I laugh when nothing's happened and my wings are gliding on the wind thermal, I can see my reflection on the water clearly, I face them smiling. "Hey, I'm Angel...Hail Satan" "You're coming with us" The demon pulls out a huge sword and I pull back. "Back up" I raise my flaming hand but they don't balk. "Uhh..the power compels thee?" They exchange looks like I'm crazy and I feel the heat rising and an extreme amount of fire and lightning comes shooting out of my hand to scorch them. I turn to fly away and look at my hand "That worked?" The demons double up to four, screeching, I curse trying to evade the hail of blades coming at me and wince at the one that stabs my feet, I let myself drop in the water and the fire on my wings is still persistent. Fire in water, how unbelievable. I hold my breath and grit my teeth pulling out the daggers, no blood, the demons were floating above water just waiting for me like a swarm of killer bees but what could be worse? It's been 2 minutes and I'm still underwater, my lungs were gonna give out anytime soon, my brain if I had any would be swelling, air bubbles escape and I'm still breathing. I see a light from under me and a woman's face appears. "Come on!" I stir in the undertows and swim down into the portal, the place kind of turns upside down and I'm going down. "Oh geez, work!" I focus on getting my wings to flap and scream as the force of the wind pushes me down, a fire ignites around me and I'm falling like a comet. I'm hyperventilating and my eyes fly around although I see nothing. I stop in the air when something clutches my foot. The fire goes out and I spin in the air and my wings open to glide on the thermal, the first thing I saw was the lady, grinning. "You are one hot angel number" She has this flowing white hair and a doll face with huge wings and white armor. She smirks at me and I push back when the sky starts turning blood red and her lips tear open showing nasty teeth. She grips my shoulders with her webbed talons and tries to take a bite out of me. "I know you want me but can't you be a little gentle?" I push her face away and she screeches as the jolt from my hand plummeting. I look around at what looked like a giant geyser full of burning hot water and more creatures like her were coming at me in swarms. "Hades called, he wants his uglies back" I put my fist out and a cyclone of electricity encompasses them, they screech convulsing and they drop into the water. I float away to a waterfall and I'm outnumbered. "You belong with us" One pointed a nasty claw at me. "There's no place like home, there's no place like home" I repeat to myself and I'm still in this hell house. "Rafe? Anytime now!" A hand muffles my voice from behind and pulls me back, I roll into another dimension and look up at Rafe in new clothes, my eyes dart around at the forest with peculiar kinds of leaves and what looked like a prism rose bush. He helps me up and I pull back adjusting my toga "All better" "What's happening, why's everyone trying to get me?"

Through transmigration, Naohara became one of the Supreme Beings and freely indulged in this hard-won life in another world.
