villain

In a world ruled by power, rules decide who deserves to live. Ryder McKalliff was nothing special—a shy construction worker with a minor ability, a loving mother, and a sister he swore to protect. But one mistake was enough to brand his family as criminals. In a single night, the system he trusted executed his mother, murdered his sister, and declared him a fugitive. Hunted by society and abandoned by justice, Ryder awakens a forbidden power—Dark Overlord, an unknown skill that drags him into a ruined world where monsters reign and survival demands blood. There, every kill makes him stronger, every ally bends to his will, and every step pulls him further away from the boy he once was. When he returns, the world hasn’t changed. Only he has. Now living under a false name, Ryder steps into the shadows of underground combat and global tournaments, climbing a hierarchy built on cruelty and spectacle. To tear down the system that took everything from him, he must become something far worse than a victim. Not a hero. Not a savior. But a ruler of darkness. Because in this world— only those who break the rules get to rewrite them.

He needed to stop, this wasn’t why he’d followed her. He had only wanted to finally speak with her about their arrangement. But his body wouldn’t let him– her flushed face sent ripples of hot need coursing right through him. A moan escaped her, shattering what little self control he maintained. —————— Six years ago, Gabrielle walked away from Edward Harrington with nothing but a broken heart and a secret growing inside her. Now she’s back— not for love, not for forgiveness, but because she has run out of choices. With a daughter to protect, a mother slipping away, and poverty closing in, Gabrielle steps into a world she no longer recognizes: Edward’s world. A world of wealth, power, quiet cruelty, and memories that refuse to stay buried. Edward is no longer the boy who once loved her. He is colder. Sharper. Untouchable. And he knows exactly how much power he holds. As past desire collides with present resentment, Gabrielle must survive a house where she doesn’t belong, a society that judges her at a glance, and a man who wants control more than reconciliation. But the most dangerous truth of all? Their past never ended. And their daughter is standing right between them. Love. Power. Humiliation. Desire. Revenge. In the Harrington estate, nothing is gentle—and nothing is free.

Any resemblance to real names, places, or events is coincidental. This is an extremely fast-paced novel, and the protagonist becomes absurdly overpowered. He is not the usual “hero complex” type. The villain and antihero tags are not for show. If you are looking for a “goody-two-shoes” protagonist, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. Note for Readers (Please do not skip): 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. The shadow affinity is a nod to some of my favorite novels, but the journey, characters, and world are entirely my own. Join the Community: Care to interact with me and other readers?

You don’t survive the Nulls… you endure them.”

Chapter excerpt: Charlton knew what was running in her head and in truth he wanted to mock her. ’You truly are a whore, aren’t you?’ he wanted to say. However, he was not planning to make this a one-time thing and he had more in store for her. So instead, he leaned forward as he started kissing her tears away. "Serena, I love you so much, do you know that? So please, don’t give me that look." Serena’s tears did not stop but what was the use. They were already like this and no matter how much she denies it, that she even let something like this happen… there’s only one conclusion. She still loved Charlton. Or at least she was that greedy for his love. She could not push him away so she could only raise her arms and envelope him in her embrace. "We’re going to burn in hell for this…." She whispered. Charlton burrowed his head on the juncture of her neck. He licked and kissed that part, careful not to leave a mark as they still will be meeting with the others later. He smirked when he felt her tremble. Why was she so easy? Regardless, he was enjoying what she can offer before he ruins her himself. "All the more reason to get as much heaven as we can now." He said, then he started moving. -- A year after his father’s death, grand duke Charlton Daniel finally responds to the summon of his uncle, the king, to return to the capital. Of course, his reason for compliance was not due to his subservience to the crown. Four years ago, his life has been turned upside down. His lover betrayed him for his cousin, the crown prince. His father was sent to prison because of a crime with dubious evidence. While he, himself, was sent to exile with a mission to capture the revolutionists. All of which, he took in strides because of his steadfast belief in humanity and justice. However, time changes everyone. Four years may seem short, but to some, it’s enough to change their perceptions and priorities. Once a pacifist at heart, Charlton is now going to return to the royal capital with a personal vendetta. -- To the public eye, Serena William, nee Maxwell, was living the perfect life. She was beautiful, rich, happily married, and has the unwavering support of her maternal family. Oh, and did I mention that she was also the crown princess and the most loved personage? Yes, that she was. Kind, generous, and approachable. She was a woman who was completely unlike any other. No one in the royal family was as well loved by the masses as she was. At least, that’s how her life was perceived to be. Behind closed doors, life was not as glamoured up as it was in the tabloids. Her first pregnancy ended up in stillbirth, while the next two ended up in miscarriages. Was this her retribution? She could not help but ask herself. This led to her guilt and self-blame which further developed her insecurity, and even inferiority complex. Aside from what she was undergoing herself, it doesn’t help that the queen mother kept on rubbing salt to injury by implying that she should let her lady-in-waiting, the queen’s first choice for crown princess, take over. Crown prince Geoffrey William was Serena’s saving grace, her knight in the shining armor, the man who sticked with her through thick and thin. Would she ever be willing to make way for another woman for his own good? Then worse, comes her old flame who seems to still be enamored with her. What lengths would she be willing to take to keep the pandora’s box shut? However, there are no secrets that time does not reveal. What will she do when she later finds out what her greatest champion did to her? -- Hearts will break, heads will roll. All is fair in love and war. This novel is not for the faint hearted. — This novel is the sequel to the first titled, ‘Making the second male lead fall in love with me, the Villainess’, and is set four (4) years after the royal wedding. (But you don’t need to read the first to understand this one, sequence is not important)

I went with my father to a luxurious restaurant in New York… and I never left with him. On a lower floor of a world that doesn’t exist on any map, I discovered the truth: I wasn’t abandoned by accident… I was sold. A secret VIP club that rents girls to the most powerful men in the city: politicians, celebrities, mafia leaders. And at the top of this world stands one man… Robert Cross. A billionaire who doesn’t just buy bodies he breaks wills. I refused to be a commodity. I rebelled. I fought back. I stood against a man no one dares to defy. But wars never remain between two sides for long. When Carlos Mendoza enters the game a Mexican cartel leader and Robert’s partner the conflict turns into obsession, and survival becomes an impossible choice. In a world where souls are bought, the question is no longer: How do I escape? but: What will I sacrifice to remain human?

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.

I died killing the Demon King. Twenty years of war. Billions dead. Everyone I loved—gone. My sister, my friends, the woman I loved—all corpses in a world that was already a graveyard. I was the last SSS-rank hunter standing, the Blood Emperor, and it meant nothing. We lost. Humanity lost. Then I woke up twenty years in the past. January 1st, 2025. Back in my weak, pathetic E-rank body. But with every memory intact—every dungeon, every betrayal, every disaster that's coming. I know which hunters will turn traitor. I know where the legendary items are hidden. I know exactly when and where the demons will invade. Most importantly, I know everyone I need to save is still alive. My sister is alive. My best friend is alive. The girl who died in my arms is alive and doesn't even know my name yet. The Crimson Tower appears in two years and three months. The Great Collapse that kills millions happens three months after that. I have that long to get strong enough to change everything. No more playing it safe. No more being too weak to protect anyone. No more watching people I love die while I'm powerless to stop it. This time, the Blood Emperor doesn't rise at the end. He starts at the beginning...

A man who gets into the Webtoon comic he reads and becomes the most feared S rank Villain, but actually he is a loser??

I’m Draven Vladimir, formerly known as Denial, once the leader of one of the most powerful gangs in the world. Betrayed and killed by a trusted comrade I wouldn't say I trusted him by you get the idea, I was reborn in a world unlike Earth, filled with magic and mythical creatures.

Khaine Morvex was orphaned at a young age, in Eldoria, a city where people lived in ignorance, believing the outside world was only a dangerous myth. He survived by stealing and hiding, learning early that weakness meant death. He had no future. Hidden within his body was a relic he was unaware of, it was a sacred gear of an ancient beast, it grew stronger with every kill, with the wielder taking its full form when he or she knows how to control it. The Ascension Academy’s guards had been tracking that power for months. When they found out about the wielder who was just a young orphan, instead of taking him quietly they did it with force, since khaine was stubborn, they took him there like a criminal. In a massive hall, the masters of every rank stood in silence, staring down at the boy. An unseen voice spoke, explaining what he carried and what it meant. The Sacred Gear was dangerous power that could turn him into a weapon, or a monster. If he could not control it, he would be killed. No master stepped forward, until the A-ranked master, known for his brutal training and cold precision, chose him. He saw something in Khaine that the others didn’t, raw potential buried beneath fear and weakness. But that was not the end of his curse. Inside him, an even older and more unknown demon awakened. Hungry, ruthless, and desperate to take control, the demon began to fight for dominance over his body.

What counts as true revenge? Of course it's making your enemy suffer! Making them wish for death! Making them regret everything! Since Itachi, you cared so much about your little brother that you couldn't bear to kill him even while massacring the entire clan, how could I bear to let him suffer in this mortal world? Of course I'll send him down to join everyone and be free! Since Itachi, you wanted peace so badly, then let's make the Fourth War, Fifth War, Sixth War... start quickly! Since Itachi, you cared so much about Konoha Village, then naturally I'll make Konoha completely disappear from the entire shinobi world! To achieve this goal, I can cooperate with Nagato! I can cooperate with Black Zetsu too! What bullshit Moon's Eye Plan - way too damn conservative! As long as I can get my revenge, I'll do anything! What? You say those people are innocent? Were my dead family members not innocent then? Since they were innocent...

He didn’t grow up with a real name. In the place he was raised, they didn’t bother with names at all. They just burned numbers onto kids, and his number was XI. That’s how people talked to him—like, “Number Eleven, do this,” “Number Eleven, stand there.” It wasn’t a life. It was just… existing. He spent most of his childhood underground. Cold stone floors, dim lamps, the same halls every day. He didn’t know anything about the outside world or why the people there were training him. He only knew that the shadows around him always felt strange, like they were watching him. One night, during some ritual he never understood, something unexpected happened. The shadows that were supposed to kill him didn’t. They moved toward him instead—like they recognized him. Like they’d been waiting for him. After that, he walked out of the fortress. No plan. No idea what to do. He picked the name Kael because he needed something normal to call himself. But the world outside isn’t simple. People stare at him. Some are scared of him. And the shadows that cling to him… he still doesn’t know how to control them, or if they’re even safe. Kael isn’t trying to be special or powerful. He just wants to understand who he is and where he belongs. Maybe he’s just a kid who was treated wrong his whole life. Or maybe he’s something else—something the people in that fortress were afraid to admit. Whatever the truth is, he knows one thing: He’s never going back to being a number again.

Her childhood was forged in shadows, and she was sharpened into a weapon, trained to be a ghost, a killer—an instrument of vengeance. The target: a decorated general who brought down her family. But fate doesn't follow orders. Just as Lara was about to execute her long-planned mission, everything spiraled out of control. A military convoy intercepted her escape route—escorting none other than the general himself. And then came the moment that changed everything. A blinding crash. Screeching tires. Her body was thrown like a ragdoll, then darkness. She had a fleeting recollection of another world, another lifetime where kings ruled the land with an iron fist. But she woke up, and twelve long months had passed.  She did not know where she was or who she was. She remembered nothing. They told her different names. A child with trembling hope whispered, “Mommy, your name is Moira Torres.” Her doctor insisted, “Your admission slip says Larissa Reyes.” A hardened general leaned close and commanded, “Remember who you are. Remember your mission.” Then another general—dangerously calm, incredibly familiar—looked at her as if she mattered and asked, “Can I call you Lara?” The name unlocked something buried deep in her soul. Lara Norse Kromwel. Daughter of General Odin Norse. Empress of the First Empire. But the man who watched her most closely dismissed it with cold certainty. “This is the 21st century,” he said. “What nonsense are you spouting? What Empress? You are my woman. You can only be mine!"
