I'll Be the Beginning and the End

I died the same way I lived, quietly, tired, and carrying burdens that were never mine to begin with. All my life, I acted as if each day might be my last. There was no room for dreams, no space for softness. While others believed in happy endings and comforting illusions, I was busy surviving. I used to resent romance novels, their sheltered heroines sighing over trivial inconveniences while standing at the center of a life anyone else would fight for. And then I woke up inside one. Silk sheets, a chandelier above me,a reflection that did not belong to me. I was not myself anymore. I had been reborn into the very novel I once skimmed through on sleepless nights, inside the body of a side character. The heroine, she has everything. And yet, she treats it like nothing. She turns away from what others treasure. She hesitates where she should be certain. She sighs where she should be grateful. I spent an entire lifetime wishing for a fraction of what she wastes without a second thought. So I made a decision. If she cannot carry this role properly, then I will. I will step where she refuses to stand. I will reach where she withdraws. I will claim what she keeps letting slip through her fingers. I will not apologize for wanting more. I have already lived one life with empty hands. This time, I refuse to fade quietly into the background of someone else’s story. If destiny insists I am only a substitute, then I will become irreplaceable. After all, I was never meant to be the heroine. But this time, I intend to be the only one left standing.

Villain's Path System

Lucian Valemont was supposed to die like a dog. Humiliated, discarded, and killed by the hero like every other forgettable villain. But there’s a problem: he remembers the novel. Or at least he thinks he does. As it turns out, his memory is just like the plot full of holes. Reincarnated as the bastard son of Duke Valemont, Lucian wakes up with a Villain’s Path System and a life destined for failure. 88% of his mana is sealed by a curse, his family wants him dead, and the academy thinks he’s a joke. In this world, everything is a race. Family who treat their blood like a tool — now why, what, and when it happened, that's up to you to find out in the story. Now, Lucian has to play his part while navigating his own messed-up life and finding himself trapped between three heroines who are as dangerous as the world itself: Seraphina Ashenblade: Aggressive and stubborn. She’s the type of girl who values her pride more than her own life. Elira Frostveil: The "Ice Princess"— cold, detached, and mysterious. She has a strange habit of just observing. Aria Lighthollow: The innocent saint with a hidden nature darker than anyone knows. The protagonist can have his predictable happy ending. Lucian is going to take the power, the women, and the throne the story never meant for him to have. The novel thinks it controls his fate. It’s about to learn what happens when the villain stops playing by the rules. A WARNING TO IMPATIENT READERS: If you're looking for a brainless MC who gets instantly overpowered in chapter 3 and collects women like trophies, click away now. Go read something else. For the first 45 chapters, Lucian is physically pathetic. He doesn't survive with cheat-like strength; he survives through sheer spite, psychological warfare, and gaslighting people who could crush him with two fingers. If you have the attention span of a goldfish and drop novels because the MC can't one-shot the villain on day one, this isn't for you. But if you're smart enough to stick around for the build-up? Chapter 55 changes everything. The payoff will absolutely shatter your mind. Consider this a filter.

Reverend Insanity: The Goody Two-Shoes System

Man is the spirit of all things, and gu are the refined fragments of the Great Dao. The ambition which blooms with the spring's morning breeze withers at the call of autumn's night. The accumulation of five hundred years - triumphs and failures - will be naught but ash with dawn's first light. The rising of the sun bathes the mountains in golden flame, but 'tis sunset upon the demon's time. The demonic overlord, Fang Yuan, is cornered by his enemies after word gets out that he refined the Spring Autumn Cicada - a gu worm rumored to be capable of having a chance at sending one back in time but demands a terrifying price in return - the user's entire existence! With no hope of escape, in desperation, Fang Yuan uses the Spring Autumn Cicada which miraculously lives up to its name and sends him back in time. And now, he's back in Gu Yue Village as a fifteen-year-old ready to use his knowledge of the future to conquer the world... but there's something wrong. Something is quite different this time around. What's with this new notification that keeps popping up in his view? It calls itself 'The Goody Two-Shoes System.' It also starts giving him quests to complete. "Help Fang Zheng gain his confidence back!" - get a Green Copper Relic Gu! "Help your friends refine their gu worms!" - have your aptitude raised by 2%! All of these rewards and quests before him, why are they trying to convert this demonic overlord to the path of righteousness? And aren't some of these quests kind of... sus? Why does marrying Bai Ning Bing give him an immortal gu? Whatever, anything for benefits! This is a fanfiction based on Gu Zhen Re's work 'Reverend Insanity' known in Chinese as 蛊真人 or 'Gu Taoist Master'. I don't own the rights to the original work. 'Gu' in the context of this story are mystical insects that have various powers and are the basis of the world's cultivation system. Cover art courtesy of matchselaa

Rebirth: The Villainous Young Master Doesn't Want to Follow the Script

******** (WARNING: This novel’s MC is Laurence’s disciple, since both of them love to cuss at everyone’s faces…. Just kidding! xD xD. Just like my other work that has a warning at the top… So, please read at your own risk! ^_^) (Note: This novel will undergo revisions from the start. Only chapter titles are available to read and to unlock. Editing chapters are under revision. Thank you! ^_^) ********* Not all villains are evil. Sometimes, their experiences and how others treated them shaped them into what they are today. ********* “How amusing! Do you really think that being labeled as a [tyrant], a [bully], and a [villain] would be that outstanding?! Why don’t you come here right now and let me punch you in the face so that you can wake up from your f*cking delusional sh*t!” ********* In his first life, for some unknown reason, he was betrayed, framed, and stripped of his status as a noble and labeled him as a “traitor” or in the worst case, a “villain”. Now, as he faced execution and prepared to die when suddenly an unknown entity called [system] offered him a chance to be a dimensional traveler, a being who transverse through the stars and space to countless worldlines in order to complete various tasks that was assigned to them. The system also promised him to grant his greatest desire should he ever consent to be bound by the [system]. With no other choice, he accepted the entity’s offer and after millennium years’ worth of transmigration, for some unknown reason, the system prompted him to be reincarnated back to his first life that he had forsaken…. As the “villainous” Third Young Master of Marquis Chevalier Household from Stellarus Empire. ********* Photo not mine. Credits to the owner.
