They Summoned a Hero But Got a Villain Instead
I’ve been hearing those same comments on my previous work that my MC was too kind, not villainous enough. Some wanted slice of life, others said they were tired of “extra” or “villain” stories. A few even claimed the system genre was getting boring.
Everyone has their preferences, and I get that. For those genre readers, I decided to bring something different a tale with a cruel, evil, and manipulative MC, a novel which is by far my most successful one . However, it was my first novel and the best I have written and was published on other platforms.
The novel became quite popular there, and now, seeing your support, I’m bringing it here too. It already has around 136 chapters, but I won’t drop them all at once. I’ll release two chapters a day since I’m still working on my earlier novel.
Here’s a short rundown. The MC and his classmates are transported to another world where they must complete deadly trials to survive. Those who pass will be chosen as heroes. Everyone gains a unique skill the MC’s is necromancy. He manipulates, deceives, and kills anyone, and his team is just as twisted as he is.
Expect powerful yanderes, obsession, and smut elements. Volume 1 focuses more on cultivation, but Volume 2 will truly shine for R18 readers, filled with high-stakes drama and grounded moments of slice of life.
After the first volume, the story will take a slice-of-life turn as the MC becomes the strongest after tricking the gods themselves. And necromancy? It’s just the beginning. His power will grow far beyond that. He will have much more powerful skills.
That’s all for the short rundown. Below is the full story outline.
-----------------------------
They summoned a hero to save their world. Instead, they got him.
In his old life, Dante was a nobody, a bullied orphan who had learned that kindness was weakness and survival meant treating everyone like a pawn. So when a goddess dragged him from his world and threw him into a brutal death game, he didn’t scream like the others. He smiled. This was a game he was born to play.
While the other heroes fought with hope and friendship, he fought with cold logic. Gifted with Necromancy, the power to raise the dead, he built an army from both enemies and fallen allies. Lies, manipulation, betrayal, he wore them all like masks, even posing as a reluctant leader. Around him gathered a team of powerful, dangerous women whose affections and rivalries he twisted into weapons only he could control.
In the end, he won. He stood before the goddess and, with one final deception, stole the power of a god. Now he was immortal. Unkillable.
But victory carried a darker truth. The trial had been nothing more than training. The gods who ran it now saw him as their weapon, ready to be discarded when they were done. Worse still, beings older and darker than gods had taken notice of his power.
And so, the real game began. He enrolled in Silverleaf Academy, the heart of this new world’s strength, not as a conqueror, but as a quiet, unremarkable side character. From the back row of a classroom, he would pull the strings of kings and queens, topple empires, and build his own.
Everyone was searching for a hero to save them. None would suspect that the quiet boy in the shadows was the tyrant who would bring them all to their knees.
