villain

He wasn’t miserable. That was the problem. He just… existed. No great failures. No great achievements. No friendships deep enough to hurt. No dreams strong enough to chase. His life moved in repetition. School. Home. Phone. Sleep. Repeat. He watched other people live intensely — take risks, fail loudly, want desperately. He only ever promised himself he’d start tomorrow. Tomorrow never came. — The night he died, rain tapped softly against his window. On his phone was the final chapter of his favorite fantasy novel. The execution of Lucian Vale. A villain despised by readers. Arrogant. Reckless. Doomed. But alive. Lucian had fought. Struggled. Burned with ambition — even if it destroyed him. “At least he tried.” That was his final thought before darkness swallowed him. “If I had another life… I’d do it properly.” *I do not own the cover used in this novel.*

So I died choking on a sandwich. Not in battle. Not saving anyone. Not even doing something mildly interesting. Just... lunch. One minute I'm biting into way too much bread, the next I'm coughing, then choking, then—nothing. Classic. Next thing I know, I'm waking up in a body that smells like incense and existential dread, staring at hands that belong to someone else. Some noble prick with a family crest and a servant who calls me "Second Son" like it's an insult. Which, apparently, it is. Turns out I've been isekai'd into that dark fantasy novel I used to read. You know the one—magic schools, reality-bending nobles, cosmic horrors that eat worlds for breakfast. The works. And I've been dumped into the body of Damon Mournblade, a background character so irrelevant he dies in the first major disaster to show how dangerous the bad guys are. Oh, and that disaster? It's happening in about three months. So here's the situation: I've got the memories of a dead guy who read this story, the affinity of a death-obsessed noble house that thinks I'm mediocre, and a countdown clock to the scene where I'm supposed to get vaporized by something that makes demons look like puppies. The smart play? Run. Hide. Let the "heroes" handle it while I figure out how to survive in a universe where humans are the bottom of the food chain. But here's the thing about dying from a sandwich—it does something to your pride. Makes you think maybe, just maybe, you deserve better than a footnote. So I'm not running. I'm going to walk right into that disaster. I'm going to look the thing that's supposed to kill me in the face. And I'm going to make it regret ever noticing my name. The universe thinks I'm a corpse waiting to happen. The nobles think I'm invisible. The "protagonist" hasn't even shown up yet. Let them all keep sleeping. Because when the screaming starts and the walls start breathing and everyone realizes too late what's actually coming—they're going to notice the dead guy who refused to stay dead. And that's when the real game begins. Assuming I survive the next three months. No pressure.

Melanie thought the ticking in her room was just stress. Until the clock stopped. Until she woke up in the arms of a dangerously beautiful stranger with storm grey eyes and a sinful smile. He is Lucifer. The King of Hell. And she has always belonged to him. Promised before she was born by a grandmother she has never met, Melanie now has one month to leave her family and prepare to become Queen of Hell. She must tell no one. If she does, the people she loves will die. As Lucifer begins appearing only to her, haunting her days and claiming her nights, she starts to question everything she thought she knew about her life. Because the ticking was never a warning. It was a countdown. And Hell is waiting for its queen. This story is purely from my imagination.

Raziel died a saint, slaughtered in his own cathedral the moment a Player fell from the sky, labeled his world a "Server," and reduced him to nothing more than a prologue NPC. His final act of faith didn’t stop the massacre... but it did shatter the rules of the Game. [ITEM USED: RESURRECTION TOKEN] [INITIATING REGRESSION PROTOCOL…] [SAVE POINT FOUND: 4 YEARS BEFORE THE PLAYER ARRIVAL] Raziel wakes up in his fifteen-year-old body, memories fragmented, but with one absolute certainty: the Game Over is inevitable. To the Church, he remains the perfect novice; to the Player, he is just another NPC. But this time, he will wield his faith like a heretical System: recruiting the future sacrificial lambs, twisting miracles into weapons, and becoming the Hidden Boss of the very world that once discarded him. If this world sees him as mere filler... Raziel will turn his faith into the heresy that crashes the Server.

On an infinitely chaotic, dimensional battlefield… Uchiha Madara, his gaze filled with contempt, activates his Susanoo. "You wish to dance, too?" Ryomen Sukuna stands with his hands in his pockets. "You're the challenger here." Aizen Sōsuke slicks back his hair with a single motion. "From this moment forward, I will stand at the top." The bald Saitama just scratches his head, completely lost on what is happening. Having lost her signature ahoge, Saber Alter frantically swings Excalibur Morgan in a chaotic frenzy. Amidst the pandemonium, an immense and powerful chakra erupts from within Kaito Shirogane. His eyes lower slightly as a smile plays on his lips. "My apologies, everyone," he says. "It seems... I'm the real monster here." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Genre Tags: [Anime Multiverse + Overpowered MC + Game-like System] (The story focuses on anime-based worlds, but also includes worlds from film and other novels.)

Long ago, the peaceful village of Vaelthoria was destroyed by envious neighbors. Guided by the patriarch Gelkra, the survivors fled to a mysterious island where the discovered radiant ores: the land of Xiphosia, a new struggle begins to stir. Centuries Later The sentient Green Katana chooses Dextin, a figure haunted by his past, and sets him on a relentless path to claim its twin, the Red Katana. This pursuit plunges Xiphosia into darkness under Dextin's tyrannical rule, marked by his brutal encounters with those chosen by the crimson blade. However, destiny has other plans. The Red Katana resonates with Dran, a man within Dextin's own ranks, whose heart burns with the injustices he witnesses. A rebellion ignites, fueled by sacrifice and the hope for freedom, leading to a climactic battle that leaves scars on the land and a heavy legacy behind. Years pass, and the responsibility of this past falls upon Rider, Dran's son. Raised under the watchful eye of Aingo, Rider grapples with the weight of his father's heroism and the looming threat of Dextin's potential return. To find a worthy successor to the Red Katana and a beacon of hope for Xiphosia, King Neon announces a high-stakes tournament. The arrival of Zack, a mysterious and formidable outsider, immediately casts a shadow of rivalry over Rider, challenging his path and his potential to become the true Sword Master. As the tournament draws nearer, the fate of Xiphosia hangs precariously, awaiting the one who can awaken the dormant power of the Red Katana and stand against the darkness that threatens to engulf them once more.

Children who had only known her as a story told in bedtime whispers. As Raina searches for the killer, Lucien-consumed by grief-finds himself drawn back to the woman he once lost. And the twins, desperate for a mother's warmth, begin to love the very person their mother once called "sister." In the ashes of betrayal, could healing begin?

In a kingdom where death is feared as the final judgment, one name is spoken like a funeral prayer—Virella Duskthorn, the Witch Who Rules Over the Dead. Long ago, Virella was a gentle village girl who could see spirits wandering between worlds. When war swept across the land, the so-called holy armies slaughtered her people in the name of purification, leaving her alone among a field of unburied corpses. As she wept, the earth answered. The dead rose—not as mindless monsters, but as loyal guardians bound to her sorrow. Branded a heretic and enemy of life itself, Virella retreated into the Ruinwood Marsh, where she built the Silent Throne from bone and forgotten names. Yet unlike the tyrants who command undead legions for conquest, Virella governs the departed with solemn care. She listens to their unfinished regrets, grants vengeance to the betrayed, and punishes those who profane the innocent But the balance between life and death begins to fracture when an ancient god of oblivion awakens, seeking to devour both souls and memory. To stop it, Virella must decide whether to remain the guardian of the dead… or become the queen of a world where nothing living survives. Feared as a monster. Worshipped as a dark savior. When Virella Duskthorn lifts her hand, even death kneels. Follow us at discord server : https://discord.gg/WV9sfqtD Other Novel's - Damn Reincarnation : Aftermath Soul king : Ruler of the Undeads

The Golden Essence: Rise of the Rankless In the Kingdom of Gale, power isn't earned—it’s integrated. Charlene Devardem is a ghost in her own family. While her brothers hunt monsters and ascend the ranks of the elite, she remains bound to the soil of her family’s pear orchard. In a world defined by Essentia—magical shards that refine the body and soul—Charlene is a "Rank Zero," an ordinary girl living in an extraordinary shadow. But the arrival of a single, humming pyramid of gold changes everything. It is a gift from a brother she barely remembers, a shard of power that no one in the provincial town of Westgrove can explain. Now, as the legendary Willian Guild arrives with a challenge that could change the fate of the territory, Charlene must decide: Will she remain the common girl picking pears in the rain? Or will she step into a world of soaring mages and ancient secrets, where the smallest spark of gold can ignite a revolution? Survival is the first rank. Power is the second. But for those at the bottom, the rise is everything.

A demon spared his life… but not out of mercy. It was a decision that would one day threaten the balance of two worlds. Raizen was just an ordinary boy— until one night, everything was taken from him. His family was slaughtered. His home was drowned in blood. And standing in the middle of it— Was something inhuman. “Why…?” Raizen’s voice trembled. The figure smiled. “Because you survived.” Instead of killing him, the demon did something far worse— It changed him. A dark power was forced into his body… A power that didn’t belong to humans. The Awakening That night, Raizen didn’t just lose everything— He awakened something forbidden. Shadow Breathing. A power that allows him to control shadows— but slowly, he realizes: He isn’t controlling it. “It moved… before I did.” The shadow reacts. It listens. It learns. And with every battle, it grows stronger. The Journey Begins Driven by revenge, Raizen steps into a world of hunters, demons, and hidden forces. But revenge is not his only problem. Because as he grows stronger— Something else begins to notice him. “You’re not normal,” Kagen said. Raizen didn’t deny it. “…I know.” The Truth Unfolds Raizen soon learns a terrifying truth: His power doesn’t come from this world. It comes from something beyond it. A place between worlds. A space that cannot be fully understood. And Raizen— Is connected to it. “You’re not just using the power,” Kagen warned. “…You’re becoming part of it.” The Bigger Threat As Raizen grows stronger, he attracts attention from powerful forces: The Circle — beings who observe and control balance Entities beyond the source — things that don’t belong to reality Others like him… who all failed “You are not the first,” a voice echoed. Raizen’s eyes narrowed. “…Then where are they?” “…Gone.” The Main Conflict Raizen faces a terrifying dilemma: If he uses his power, he gets stronger But the more he uses it… the more he loses himself “There is a line,” a mysterious figure warned. “…Once you cross it, you don’t come back.” But Raizen makes a choice. “I’m not stopping.” The Turning Point He crosses that line. And everything changes. The shadow is no longer just power— It becomes a gateway. A bridge between worlds. “You are close to completion.” “…Completion of what?” “…Becoming the passage.” Core Theme This isn’t just a revenge story. It’s about: Identity — Am I still human? Control — Am I using the power, or is it using me? Evolution — What happens when power changes your existence?
