[ THE VILLAIN'S LEDGER — ACTIVATED ] Host: Cedric Valdrake Arkhen Role: Primary Antagonist Death Flags: 47 Survival Probability: 2.3% Recommendation: Accept your death. --- He won't. Kael died at 22 and woke up as the game's ultimate villain — the arrogant young master who dies in EVERY route. His Aether Core is shattered. His own father might kill him. And the world has a Script that will bend reality to make sure the villain stays dead. But Kael has 4,000 hours of game knowledge, a forbidden bloodline that erases anything it touches, and a sentient sword with a worse attitude than he has. He'll wear the mask. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable. The heroes will fear him. The world will hate him. And the five most beautiful women in the empire — the ones written to despise him — will start to see through the cracks. The saintess who heals his scars. The swordswoman who can't stop fighting him. The gentle girl whose flowers grow toward him. The assassin who was sent to kill him — and stayed. The villainess. His mirror. Two monsters learning to be human. Every heroine he steals weakens the heroes who were meant to save the world. Every death flag he breaks pushes reality closer to collapse. And something beyond the game is watching. The villain was supposed to die in Chapter 30. He has other plans.

He thought the strange presence in his life had disappeared, until it came back. Closer and clearer. And far too familiar to be called a stranger. The man who appears before him feels the same…yet not the same. As fragments of memory and past begin to surface, he is forced to question everything. Was it really the same person he had been searching for all these years… or someone else entirely? Because even if memories fade— some connections never do. And this one… refuses to let him go.

It all started with a Book review… [To Kill A Demon Lord…] had everything; It had Magic, It had action, it had an abundance of interesting characters and—probably most important of all—it had Vampires. Kevin (Username: Kevin_The_Man) enjoyed the read. Stayed up to date with every chapter update and it quickly became his favorite Webnovel… That was until the Author killed off his favorite character, Caius Von Helsing, A Vampire Spawn who spent most of the story frustratingly resisting his Vampirism so as not to ‘become a Monster’. Kevin wrote a review expressing his dissatisfaction. So naturally, when the Author replied and asked for Kevin’s help in making a revised edition of the story, he quickly accepted… … Only to fall asleep and wake up in the world of [To Kill A Demon Lord…] as none other than his favorite character, Caius Von Helsing, the Vampire Spawn. Kevin—now Caius—quickly discovers that there is so much more involved in making a ‘revised edition’ of a novel than simply writing it. And that there are powerful forces that especially want Caius to die and stay dead… … But that death is still quite in the future so Kevin—now Caius—is quickly optimistic. He has a mission now; To enjoy the wonders this world has to offer—as the original character never would—by fully accepting and evolving his nature as a Vampire.

(Will edit after main story conclusion. Specifically from the start.) *** Synopsis: A fifteen-year-old schoolgirl happens to find herself approached by a strange woman after a rough day—who happens to know her plans on running away. Astonished, she tried to interrogate, but ended up getting dragged into another universe and another world. There, she finds out that experiments are being ran on fourteen other candidates set aside for her. Being the last candidate, she is told that she might be the first one to face demise. But she is determined to find out what is up with this facility. Eventually, she comes across an astonishing fact—that this whole world and setting is similar to that of a book she read during her younger days. And the protagonist happened to be her own cousin, who also killed her at the near end of the novel. *** (Prologue) Listen... No one is judging no one here. And so am I. The world has been cruel these days. Being modern means being rude to people on the street who are below your rank—That is what they believe. I find this all frustrating, why move with a state of mind that could as well kill you someday. You don't know if this person is a lawyer, a far relative, a doctor, a politician. But you already get the gist, don't you? And like any other teenagers my age, I really want to run away from all this. It's not like I am an orphan or from a poor household. I am from a family which is a standard class in economical terms in this world. And yet, I want to run away. Haha! Anyways. I did succeed. I wonder at what cost? I am away from all that hostility of course... But now I am in another world. Not reincarnated. Not transmigrated to another body. I am with my own soul in my original body, but in another world. This world... is weird. Thinking back, I remember reading a strange book when I was young. This book actually speaks about this world. I am a character there. Funnier thing, I don't know what is up with it either. It appears to me that the writer decided they want to see the 'live-action' version of it. So now... I am the actor playing my own character.

Kyle broke free. Sadly, punching the leader of a gang of thugs had consequences, and the leader's cronies would beat Kyle to death. But so what?! He didn't regret punching this guy even once! However, a powerful Magic Lady saved Kyle and then did something strange. She offered him a job. Apparently, he would have to go to a different world, a brutal realm where strength was the only law, and become its Overseer. A world where one person could fight thousands of people. A world where gigantic beasts broke mountains. And Kyle? He was just some random guy. He couldn't break mountains. Hell, he could barely fight a single guy, but what was he supposed to do? Reject the offer and get killed? Whether he liked it or not, he had to grow stronger, and while the beginning was tough, he actually found something he really enjoyed. His gigantic hammer. It was exhilarating when beasts exploded into chunks of flesh whenever he struck them. He loved turning boulders into rubble. With his hammer in hand, Kyle would forge a path of destruction through beast hordes and any ancient gods who dare stand in his way. And as his power grew, he became more and more involved in a war between two fundamentally different forces of nature. Join Kyle on his journey to become the Strongest Hammer God! -- Hammer starts at chapter 36 2 chapters every day. Join my Discord: https://discord.gg/EfePH46Aru

He was never supposed to become her husband. Yuuta Kounari was nothing more than an ordinary culinary student living a quiet life on Earth until a mysterious Dragon Queen appeared before him and declared that he would become her husband. There was only one problem. She had no intention of accepting him. To Erza Veyla Dragomir, the White Dragon Empress of Atlantis, Yuuta was merely an accident she wished had never happened.
