The Nightmare Weaver

​“What if every nightmare you've ever had was a manufactured product?” Zev McTerror has always been the quiet type—small, awkwardly polite, and terrible at saying no. It was only natural that someone like him would go on to join the Happydream Faction. So when his influential mother decides his future for him, he finds himself shoved into Fearcraft Academy: Dreamsdale’s most celebrated nightmare-crafting program. He just wanted to make happy dreams. Simple, happy dreams. With puppies, unicorns, and a few rainbows. Instead, he’s studying how to twist human memories, amplify dread, and hide escape routes in nightmares, so unhinged strangers across the dream-realm can scream for entertainment. Surrounded by prodigies, terrifying talents, and classmates willing to tear each other apart for rankings, Zev quickly learns he’s dangerously out of his depth. But something monumental lurks behind his docile nature: an Imprint waiting to wake. As secrets surface, friendships form, and the dream-realm bleeds into waking life, Zev must decide who he is: the legacy everyone expects… or someone capable of rewriting the nightmare entirely. Escaping isn’t simple when the world itself becomes the trap. – – – [★] Additional tags: Bloodlines, Boarding school, Characters with depth, Comedic undertone, Coming of age, Complex family relationships, Emotionally weak protagonist, Folklore, Genderbender, Nightmares, Power system, Satire, Secret identity, Special abilities Cover art by me.

Any resemblance to real names, places, or events is coincidental. This is an extremely fast paced novel , and the protagonist of this novel is someone who becomes absurdly overpowered. He is also not the usual person who makes decisions that fit the hero complex genre. the villian and antihero tags are not for show. If you are looking for a “goody two shoes” protagonist with a hero complex, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. Note for Readers(Please do not skip this): 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, each adding a unique blend to his path. I included the shadow affinity as a nod to some of my favorite novels, but this is not a copy. The journey, characters, and world are entirely my own.

Summoned a Hero But Got a Villain Instead

Below is a short summary of the story. If you don't have much time, you can read it. If you want the full synopsis, skip this paragraph and go to the next one. -- -- -- -- 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. Volume 1 focuses more on cultivation as well as some struggle umm.. Mc would still be flexing, but Volume 2 will truly shine for slice of life readers, dark comedy ones as well as those who loves academy genre. From volume 2 Academy would be the main focus. 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 synopsis. ----------------------------- 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(his classmates) 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. ---------------------------------- For Character Illustrations https://discord.gg/ht8sfcTCcR _________________________ Additional Tags :- #ANTIHERO, #OVERPOWEREDMC, #ACADEMY, #VILLAIN, #RUTHLESSMC, #SIDE CHARACTER, #MANIPULATIVEPROTAGONIST, #MAGIC, #SURVIVAL, #TSUNDERE ,#YANDERE#18+#KINGDOMBUILDING, #SWORDSANDSORCERY,#NECROMANCY,#UNDEAD,#AURA FARMING
