Vermillion's Godfather: The Rise of the Mafia Prince

"In the New York underworld, Alessandro 'The Razor' was not just a mafia boss; he was the law itself. Respected for his strategy, feared for his ruthlessness, and holding the code of Omerta above all else. However, the reign of the dark world's sovereign ended with a bullet—a betrayal from his own right-hand man. Alessandro thought that was the end of everything. Yet, he opened his eyes in an unfamiliar place. He was no longer an old man in an Italian suit, but an 18-year-old boy. Prince Alessandro von Vermillion. The problem? This prince was the 'trash' of the kingdom. A drunkard, weakling, coward, and hated by both his people and the nobility. The Kingdom of Vermillion stood on the brink of collapse: the national treasury was empty, corrupt Dukes ran rampant, and neighboring kingdoms were poised to annex their territory. Just as the political executioners were about to claim his neck, a blue screen flickered across his retina. [Ding!] [The Absolute Empire System has been activated.] [Host Class Detected: UNDERWORLD SOVEREIGN (Godfather).] [First Mission: Purge the Traitors.] A cold smirk—one that once made mayors and police chiefs tremble—returned to the Prince's face. This wasn't just about building a kingdom. This was business. The people are 'Family' who must be protected. The enemies are 'Business Rivals' who must be eliminated. 'In Vermillion, there are only two choices for my enemies: Silver (Money) or Lead (Death).' A Mobster never forgets a debt. And Alessandro will collect them all—with interest. Joined by a cold-hearted female knight whose loyalty is unto death, Alessandro will transform a dying realm into the strongest Empire on the continent. Welcome to the Family."

SSS Class Infinite Regression: Ascension of the Mad Dragon Prince

What would you do if you were granted the power to turn back time every time you died? Louis Drakeheart once had everything. Born as the grandson of the Dragon King and the son of Earth’s most brilliant scientist and strongest Esper and a Holy Dragon Goddess, his future seemed boundless. Yet at the age of ten, he failed to awaken his Dragon Bloodline and could not transform into a dragon. Branded a cripple and a failure by his own Dragon Family, he was abandoned, his dreams shattered. Growing increasingly bitter and resentful, especially after his mother fell gravely ill and slipped into an eternal slumber that no one could cure, Louis transformed into a ruthless, cynical, and deeply unstable noble. Throughout the Frostbane Kingdom, he became infamous as the “Mad Prince.” In a final, desperate bid for power, he plunged into the Dimensional Labyrinth, only to be ambushed by an enemy nation. Powerless to change his fate, he was killed. But that was not the end for Louis Drakeheart. Upon death, he awakened the power of Death Loop, allowing him to return to the past after dying. At last, he possessed the ability to reshape his life, one death at a time. Now, through sheer will and unrelenting struggle, Louis will fight with everything he has to seize the strength needed to change his fate, reclaim his draconic birthright, and save his kingdom from its inevitable downfall at the hands of both Enemy Nations and Horrors beyond the Dimensional Boundary—even if it costs him his sanity as he descends deeper into the Spiral of Madness. This is the story of Louis Drakeheart and his journey through madness and enlightenment as he claims his true title: the Heir of Ruin, the Bringer of the End. And... of her, the one that accompanied him through countless regressions, the only witness of all his sacrifices. Also known as "Spiral of Madness: Ascension of the Villainous Dragon Prince". What to Expect: -A death loop where the main character returns to fixed points in time after each death, retaining all the power he has built up. -Deep world-building and a vibrant, living world that feels alive and immersive. -A unique power system: the Spiral of Madness/Incarnation inspired by Lord of the Mysteries Sequences and Metaphor Refantazio Archetype System. -Powerful, near impossible to defeat antagonists that will force the MC to accumulate strength across multiple lives to finally defeat them. -Strong focus on weapon techniques, cultivation, magic, and familiar bonding. -A romantic subplot that develops across multiple lives. -Dungeon crawling combined with fast-paced progression. -Countless mysteries, multiple worlds to explore, kingdom building (later down the line), and much more. -High stakes and emotional storytelling mixed with great side characters.

Building World Peace with My Bloodthirsty Demon Army

Welcome to planet Talvaris, your generic isekai world filled with magic, dragons, and voluptuous female elves who look like they escaped from an illustrators search history. Everything here is as beautiful as the goddess Celes envision it, if you just ignore the slavery and racism on the corner. Unfortunately, maintaining this picturesque fantasy realm costs divine power. Luckily for the goddess, divine power can be charged by the Talvarians' prayer. And nothing beats the high-quality prayer of a Talvarian during the act of killing or being killed. That’s why the occasional demon invasions are needed, oh and the OP otherworlder hero is also needed to tone down the invasion. Nobody wants the sweet Talvarians to get wiped out, right? But this time the celestial HR department makes a mistake. Alex Solomon is not a teenager, not handsome, and definitely not a Japanese. He is just a regular pot belly millennials who spend most of his time looking at the screen every day, just like the one who reading this now. Totally doesn't meet the goddess's standards. Hence, the beautiful but angry goddess cursed Alex Solomon to become an orc and banish him to the Demon Kingdom with nothing but a ability to access Earth internet. Stuck among demons, Alex Solomon decide if the goddess wants him to be a monster, he’ll be the worst kind possible – a monster with ideas. Armed with memes, wikipedia articles, and misquoted great thinker, he and the demon army set out on a quest for revenge by doing the most disruptive thing that have been proven on earth: Building world peace, freedom, and democracy across Talvaris. One Tomahawk missile at a time.

Summoner Online: I Became the Tutorial Boss with a 999+ Villainess

Summoner Guild Online was supposed to be the launch of the century. For millions of players, it was the ultimate escape. A world of endless adventure, legendary loot, and guild wars that would make history. But for Kai Grimer, it became a death trap. He doesn't spawn in the starting village like the others. Instead, he wakes up in the suffocating darkness of the Tutorial Dungeon—not as a player, but as the final boss. An NPC designed to be slaughtered by wave after wave of newbies farming their first XP. The logout button doesn't work. The system won't respond. And if he dies here, there's no respawn. Desperate and hunted, Kai activates his only skill, [Grand Summon]. It's a gamble: sacrifice XP to pull a random servant from across dimensions. He's hoping for something useful. A knight. Maybe a mage. Even a halfway-decent slime would do. What he gets instead is Lyra, the Abyssal Empress. [Rating: 9999 Class: World-Ending Calamity Danger Level: Apocalypse-Tier.] She's devastatingly beautiful. Unimaginably powerful. And completely, utterly insane. She despises humanity, mocks the system, and has enough power to crack continents in half. But thanks to the summoning contract, she has one unbreakable rule: absolute obedience to Kai. And somehow, that obedience has twisted into something far more dangerous—obsession. But Kai isn't running anymore. With each wave of players he defeats, he earns XP. With each summon he pulls, his army grows. Knights. Demons. Spirits. Beasts. And perhaps... more dangerous beauties who don't appreciate Lyra's self-proclaimed monopoly on their Master's attention. [You have defeated 47 Players] [New Summon Available] Trapped between overpowered summons fighting for his favor, guilds hunting his legend, and a game system that's starting to break under his existence, Kai has one goal: He won't just survive Summoner Guild Online. He'll conquer it. And if a few world-ending beauties want to fight over him along the way? Well, that's just part of being the strongest summoner.
