THE VILLAIN PRINCE REFUSES TO DIE

After dying in a modern world 'Intentional' accident 55 years ago, as a modern university student. Kagen woke up inside the body of Prince Cassian Valemont — the infamous villain prince of the Holy Empire of Edrath. From a dark fantasy novel his sister loved the most. In the original story, the prince becomes corrupted by forbidden shadow magic and is publicly executed by the empire’s war hero, Sir Lucien Arden. And Kagen remembers only one thing from his sister's summaries: “The prince dies horribly.” Determined to survive, he avoids cruelty, stops provoking nobles, and tries to stay away from forbidden magic. But there is only one problem. He has already transmigrated before. Again. And again. And again. Every timeline ends the same way: betrayal, political manipulation, forced royal marriages, pregnancy used as political control, and finally execution at the hands of Sir Lucien Arden...all the damn time. At first, Kagen tried everything to survive. He acted kind. He acted obedient. He ran away. He exposed corruption. He avoided forbidden magic. He even sacrificed himself for the kingdom. But nothing changed. Every path led back to death...with Sir Lucien's blade. So eventually, Kagen stops trying to become a good person nor a bad person, he stops trying at all if it means surviving as Cassian Valemont. At least until he finds his way back home and strangle his sister to death for switching his ritual patterns and led him into this world instead. But during all that idleness, will Lucien sit by and watch him from afar while he does nothing with his life or will he hunt him down and get closer to him in this turn too?

The Reborn Sovereign of Ruin, Bound by His Star

Revenge is, by all means, one of the most guaranteed things to happen when a warlord with dragon blood in his veins and ether at his side is betrayed, poisoned, and reduced not to death but to decades of obliterating pain as his ether channels burn from his very soul. Only one remained. One channel, thin and fragile around his heart, survived long enough for him to endure, to wait, to plan, to manipulate, and, eventually, to return to the world with one clear purpose: to burn down the nation of the traitor who thought he had erased him for good. But then came a fortune teller at a street stall. And with the fortune teller came a dare Arik accepted for fun, a spread of cards drawn with no real expectation beyond momentary amusement. Instead, he found something far more dangerous than revenge waiting for him. His mate. A story of rebirth, revenge, enemies-to-allies-to-lovers, political ruin, ether, and the deeply unfortunate reality that the one person tied to Arik’s fate may be the very last person he should ever want. — Warnings, disclaimers, cries for help… call them whatever you want. This is the third book set in the same universe, but it can be read on its own. The world will be fully presented, so nobody needs to do homework before stepping into the chaos. For anyone curious, the first two books are: Bound by the Mark of Lies Shadow Unit Scandal: The Commander’s Omega This universe is ABO dragged directly into etherpunk, political fantasy, violence, bad coping mechanisms, and my ongoing inability to let powerful people make emotionally healthy decisions. There will be violence. There will be gore. There will be smut. There will also be vengeance, terrible restraint, worse impulses, emotional damage, and at least one man reacting to fate like it personally insulted his bloodline. Good luck.

The Retired Archmage who Became a Dragon Dad

Fifteen years ago, mysterious dungeons began appearing across Earth. Monsters poured out from unstable gates, forcing humanity into a desperate fight for survival. Some humans awakened supernatural abilities known as Resonance, becoming powerful individuals called Awakeners. Over time, humanity adapted to this new world. But three years ago, disaster struck. A massive monster outbreak erupted from a high-rank dungeon, unleashing creatures far beyond what hunters could handle. Entire cities were threatened, and humanity braced itself for catastrophe. Then suddenly… The outbreak stopped. The monsters vanished. The dungeon collapsed. And no one ever discovered why. To this day, the event remains one of the world’s greatest mysteries. The truth? It was stopped by a single man. Ren Arclight. A ridiculously powerful archmage who sealed the source of the outbreak—the Demon Queen—and then quietly retired from the hunter world. Now he lives alone in a small apartment, enjoying his peaceful life of watching old anime and avoiding anything that looks like responsibility. Unfortunately, peace didn’t last long. Because one day… Three mysterious eggs appeared at his door. They soon hatched into three dragon girls who immediately started calling him Dad. And just when things couldn’t get any worse… The Demon Queen shows up at his apartment. Angry. Weakened. And somehow stuck helping him take care of the kids. A lazy archmage. Three chaotic dragon daughters. And a very unwilling Demon Queen babysitter. Ren just wanted a quiet life. Instead, he became the Dragon Dad.

SIGHTSEER: A Post-apocalyptic World

Approximately 3,141 years ago, according to the oldest historical book, it records a world that is vibrant and full of life, and a world where people can roam and travel without fear, to experience the beauty, to see, and to feel the abundance it gives. However it was also recorded that it's the year the first gods suddenly appeared, and began ravaging the world tearing down great civilization and even the ones that tried to thrive. The gods didn't bring salvation when they arrived before humanity, instead it ruled over the skies, the land, and the ocean killing whoever stepped foot into their domains. And just like that on the same year the world was never the same. The land shifted colliding with one another forming mountains and creating different terrains, the sea rise burying cities destroying lives, and the sky no longer followed the natural order where one city will experience endless storms that ravage it but the one besides it experience magnified heat burning trees and melting steel. Until the 'genesis' arrived when the first god was killed and brought a spark of hope to humanity. The story began on the year 1,853 of the current era ATG (After The Genesis), the protagonist woke up in the middle of a gloomy dessert with only a holographic companion named SAI (Systematic Artificial Intelligence) and world different form what he knew, a knowledge even he himself don't know how he got. In that knowledge he dreamt of a vibrant world full of life, people everywhere, buildings that are intricately designed, and a place where no creatures named gods hunting and destroying homes. Now after waking up he only has a few thing in mind, to see the world and hoped to know who or what he is. Passion project of mine, so the the update can really fluctuate.

The Broken Halo

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?
