villain

"Battling young masters for some treasures in mysterious caves? No, thank you. What's so special about a ring containing an old sage's trapped soul? I'll just toss it away. Becoming a direct disciple of some big expert with many enemies? Count me out. I'll flip the bird to the pointless struggle in prestigious sects that only attract calamity. What I have here, this opportunity I've seized, is plenty for me. I'll choose safe and steady methods of progress, even if they're slow. After all, I'm just a simple farmer seeking peace through cultivation. I'll rely on myself to pave the way." - Aksai Everwood (Chapter 7) ============ Aksai Everwood was a terminally ill man in his past life who signed up for one last experiment and accidentally made history by merging his mind with an artificial super intelligence. Instead of dying, he woke up in another world with a new name, new body, and a magical farm. But this isn’t your average pastoral paradise. Spirit farming here means dealing with dangerous cultivation, chaotic realms, and the occasional reality-bending headache. Armed with neural tech, an enchanted farm that grows mystical resources, and the ability to travel between worlds, Aksai skips the usual sect life to blaze his own trail. From druidic powers to martial arts and body cultivation, he’s on a path to conquer many realms. ============ Additional Tags: #druid #bloodlines #Martialarts #worldhopping #artificialintelligence #coldmc #battlenovel #calculatingmc #villain #farming #spiritcultivation #mindcultivation #bodycultivation #worldhopping #rpgelements #low-keymc #sliceoflife #nonarrogantmc

You have followed the trail. Now, are you ready to pass judgment? For generations, the identity of Jack the Ripper has remained one of history's most enduring mysteries. Countless suspects have been named. Countless theories have been proposed. Yet the truth has continued to elude those who dared to pursue it. But what if the answers were never as distant as they seemed? In this second part, the investigation takes a different turn. The clues are no longer merely fragments of a mystery; they become pieces of an argument. Witnesses, circumstances, motives, contradictions, and overlooked details are brought together for closer examination. You will be asked to question what you once believed, challenge familiar theories, reconsider the suspects, and weigh the evidence for yourself. Who was he? Why did he do it? What circumstances shaped the man behind the name? And when the final pieces fall into place, you will be introduced to the suspect I have come to acknowledge. I will present my reasoning. You will examine my conclusions. And ultimately, the verdict belongs to you. The trail has been followed. The questions have been asked. Now comes the judgment.

Alternative Title: Villain's Saviour, Game Over Again Lin Ji’an, a modern master chef, never expected to wake up inside a dog-blood BL cultivation novel. Worse, she transmigrated into the role of the "vicious cannon fodder", the crossdressing Third Young Master destined to humiliate the future Villain and die a miserable death by his hand. Her mission? Simple. Feed the starving slave boy and the future villain, Xie Wangchen, fix his broken body, and make sure his "Blackening Value" doesn't hit 100% and destroy the world. She beats up the arrogant Heir, face-slaps the evil Stepmother, and cooks her way into the Villain’s heart, purely to survive, of course! But as they head to the Celestial Sword Sect, Lin Ji’an realises something is wrong. She thought she was raising a cute, obedient little brother. She thought she was just a "straight bro" helping him out. She thought the main plot’s protagonists would chase the original MC. So why is the Villain looking at her with eyes darker than the abyss? Why is he threatening to cripple anyone who smiles at her? And why are the original male leads suddenly lining up to taste her cooking? Lin Ji’an: "I’m just here to cook and survive! I’m straight! And I’m a girl!" Xie Wangchen, who was sharpening his sword, looked up with a smirk tugging in the corner of his lips, "Luggage? No. You are my world. And I never let go of what is mine."

Jack Somnus was a mid-wealth professor of economics and a trading advisor for the powerful Johnson family. But after years of working for the Johnsons, he was abandoned without a word. He was laid off without as much as a severence package. Jack's life got worse when he lost his wife. Depressed and alone, he got into an unfortunate accident. Instead of dying, he travels back in time to his teenage years. Now, Jack has a second chance to live the life he always wanted. He wants to be the one who controls, not the one being controlled. But his time travel hides a deeper secret, one that might throw him for a loop. [WARNING: CONTAINS EXPLICIT EROTIC SCENES] ... PS. Investment Empire Building / Confident MC / MC is not the only smart character DISCLAIMER: The similarity in names of characters in this novel to those of real world individuals is purely a coincidence This story is set in the same universe as my first novel, "Evolution of Genius: every night, I get smarter!", however, reading this novel doesn't require you to have any knowledge about the other.

They say Fugaku Uchiha failed because he loved too much. Loved the clan. Loved his sons. In the end, he chose peace over survival. He knelt. Smiled. Accepted death. Pathetic. At sixteen, memories of my previous life returned. A life on Earth, where Naruto was just a story, and I already knew exactly what awaited Fugaku Uchiha. What awaited me. Coup. Failure. Massacre. Extinction. I don't accept it. A divided clan, and Konoha already sees the Uchiha as a problem. Fine. They call us unstable? Monsters? Even better. If the world expects a villain, I'll give them one who wins. Hokage isn't the goal. It's only the beginning. I'll move quieter than Root, think further than any Hokage, and go beyond the Sharingan itself. By the time they realize what's changed, it'll already be too late. They feared the Uchiha rising. This time, they're right. Warnings: * MC is generally amoral, power-hungry, and sometimes outright villainous. * Yes, there’s a harem involving both canon (*cough, Tsunade) and OCs, kept logical and believable. * NO system, no stats, no cheat menus - just Naruto-world plotting and power growth. * This isn’t canon. Expect many fitting OCs, fan additions, etc. Ripple effect plot changes also pile up hard. * Timeline purists beware: the original story itself had inconsistencies. Don’t expect “perfect” chronology. * Expect darker politics, deeper worldbuilding, and deliberate writing quality. [REMEMBER: This is 100% not a translation.

Guess I’ll Be the Final Villain!

[100% ORIGINAL - HIGH-QUALITY] "Kimimaro Was Wasted, So I’ll Fix That!" In canon, Kimimaro was a joke. One of Naruto’s forgettable side antagonists, dead before the plot even mattered. Locked in a cage by his clan, dragged out only to die for Orochimaru, and discarded by the world. A sickly prodigy wasted as nothing more than a pawn. Then I woke up as Kimimaro. The tragic flower meant to bloom for others and wither in silence? Not this time. I know how his story ends, and I refuse to repeat it. Bonds? Chains. Devotion? A joke. Weakness? Death. If my clan betrayed me, I’ll betray the world. If they put me in a cage, I’ll put the world in a cage of bones. I’m done being a pawn. I’m done being a tool. And I’ll never be forgotten. If you want to be cherished, you need strength first. So I’ll climb the staircase one step at a time… until the whole world kneels to me.

You’ll soon testify at the beauty of it! well, and the beauties inside the book! Bwahahahaha ———- Phei Maxton’s life in Paradise—the most exclusive gated community in the world—has been seventeen years of pure hell. Orphaned at seven. Taken in by his aunt’s family, the wealthy Maxtons. Treated like trash by his step-sisters, bullied at elite Ashford Academy, invisible to everyone who mattered. He’d finally had enough. Standing on the school rooftop, ready to end it all, he jumped. And that’s when it happened... [System Bound] [Mission: Conquer the women who made your life hell] [Reward: System ability unlock, beginner package, DxD abilities] [Failure: Back to the moment of Suicide] Now Phei has seven days to seduce at least one woman from his list—his cruel aunt Melissa, his vicious step-sisters, the academy beauties who mocked him, or the rude neighbor who’s hated him since childhood. One week. One impossible mission. And a virgin with a system that grants him abilities he never dreamed of. But there’s a catch—everything he needs to do is taboo. Forbidden. Wrong. And somehow, that’s exactly what will make him unstoppable. Dark. Explicit. Harem. The sex he never knew he needed to save his life. ——— HIS QUEST IS SIMPLE: [Conquer your highschool and family... Aunt Melissa, Cousin Sienna, Victoria and Delilah, Academy Belles and the hot rude neighbor and her daughter!]

In a post-apocalyptic world where light of day has been devoured into extinction, there exists sequence ability awakners who fight against divine scourges and keep the last stand of humaity alive. But for ordinary people, survival means clinging to the strong—or being trampled underfoot. Qin Siyang, once just another struggling survivor, awakens the Devouing Sequence—a power that allows him to devour divine remnants and grow stronger without limits. From scavenging in the shadows to standing at the top, he will carve his own path in this brutal world. A feast of gods has begun. And Qin Siyang? He’s starving. #Cautious MC #Cold-Blooded MC #Cunning Mc #Killer #Unprincipled #Bloodthirsty #No-Romance(till 100 chapters.

General Anissa didn’t sign up for babysitting duty—but here we are. Training a group of teenage half-Viltrumites labelled as traitors' kids wasn’t exactly the dream gig. As you see in the title, she is one of those Viltrumites in this alternate universe that still carries a recessive gene passed down the family tree to her, a natural born futanari. If you didn't read the Raven fanfic, you should first, since they are connected and you will see why and how. This is no rebirth or reborn theme, but because of certain factors that happened in the world of the first fic I worked on, certain changes will occur, snowballing into an avalanche of unexpected events. Three cheers for the Viltrumite camp half-bloods! You can read on patreon.com/futamommy

« MATURE CONTENT » I was supposed to check my stats. Instead, I checked my sins. One scroll through the system notifications and I realized I’d made the dumbest, hottest, most catastrophic mistake in cultivation history: [Heir Conception Confirmed: All three blessed wives have been Impregnanted.] [Gestation: 3 months. Offspring inherit 50% divine bloodline + maternal elemental affinities.] [Legacy Skill Unlocked: Imperial Seed – Children born at Core Formation minimum. Twins/Triplets chance +70%.] Translation? I bred the maid who poisoned me, the archer who swore she’d never kneel, and the ice queen who hadn’t even been kissed… in one night. Now they’re all carrying little demigods—and Heaven just flagged me as Calamity Incarnate. I wanted a quiet moment to breathe. Heaven handed me a countdown. 3… 2… 1… The sky split like a bad promise. Tribulation clouds boiled over the horizon, rings within rings, and every ring had my name carved into it. Lightning didn’t just flash—it wrote scripture across the firmament, every stroke a sentence: Zhao Tianlong, Calamity Incarnate. And behind me, three heartbeats answered in perfect sync. "Husband, stand back; you should save your energy to fight us in bed..." I glanced at the notifications again, just to suffer. [Heaven’s Will: Surveillance Active. Concealment: Impossible.] [Designation: Catastrophe-Grade Variable. Tribulation: Immediate.] [Bonus Condition Detected: Three Heroines Pregnant. Difficulty Multiplier: x10.] [Note: Heaven disapproves of speedrunning destiny via breeding.] "H-husband, why is the sky thundering..." "The clouds seem to be darkening with concentrated Qi." "It's like it is spreading across the land to take you on, Tianlong." I almost laughed. Almost. My naive wives, they can’t see how the clouds look beautiful, like a beautiful woman. "Hah… I make fountains out of heavenly beauties with my thing," I spat, a chuckle forming while getting disgusted, cute, lovely glares from my heavenly wives. "So if even Heaven itself dares to spread her legs at me, all she’ll do is scream louder," I said, lifting my middle finger towards the sky with a grin that almost ruined my hot husband image in front of my wives. "Tch, perverted bastard... I will just fight." "Ahem, yes, standing beside him might corrupt me." "H-husband... I-I will go fight too... you are embarrassing me..." They stepped beside me—left, right, and one half a pace ahead. Unaware that their sway of hips and jiggles of melons were too distracting. "...." I could only look at three of my beauties, thinking how they are different than last night, but again it appears I might have to corrupt them more.

Everyone thinks a protagonist's life is pretty easy. I used to think like that too, but since the day I woke up in the body of Harry Potter, a timer on my eventual confrontation with the dark lord had begun. To survive, I have to grind spells, learn magic, and... seduce and corrupt witches?

"What are you willing to do to achieve something? How serious are you about achieving your goals?" This was the question that Loki and the other people who came to the Four Directions sect to earn their freedom were asked on their first day in the sect. For Loki, this question was easy for him to answer because he was reborn as a slave in this world and had already defied the will of his slave master in order to join the Four Directions sect. He had braved danger and suffering to reach the Four Directions sect. So he knew what it meant to be desperate and was willing to do whatever was required of him to achieve his goal. In the world of the blessed heaven realm, there is no such thing as human rights, and freedom is a luxury that very few people have. It is said that everyone is a slave to someone. The only difference is how strong their master is. So he, just like everyone else, is under the control of someone above them. But he doesn't want to remain a slave forever. He aspires to greatness, immortality, and freedom. He wants to acquire enough power to gain control of his fate. He also wants to rise to the top of the world and be the one to control others. He even wants to gain power and control over death. In order to achieve this, he is willing to do anything. This is his answer to the question of what he is willing to do to achieve his goals. His answer to this question was why he awakened the Fenrir metac. This is a metac that can help him achieve his goals by granting him the ability to find prey, hunt prey, and devour them to strengthen himself. With the Fenrir metac, he will transform from a prey into a predator. He will even have the chance to rise to the top of the food chain and become the strongest predator. That is to be his purpose in life, and with great luck and perseverance, he might achieve it.

Fall in love, get married, maybe have a couple of kids, and complain about life like a normal person. Reality disagreed. At twenty-five, he had confessed to one hundred girls and been rejected by every single one. “Sorry, you’re a good guy, but…” “You’re more like a brother to me…” “I think you deserve someone better.” He had heard every variation. Every excuse. Every polite rejection that stabbed just as sharply as a blunt knife. By the end of it, Lin Feng no longer feared failure. He expected it. After a night of drowning his sorrows, he woke up in a cultivation world. And somehow… he became a teacher again. “Mentor Lin Feng, could you guide me?” Lin Feng stood frozen. Because surrounding him were not ordinary women, but goddesses, fairies, and proud maidens whose beauty could topple kingdoms. He looked up at the heavens, his expression complicated. “…Are you messing with me?” He clenched his fist. “No. I didn’t come here for romance.” “I just want to teach.” The heavens, however… Had other plans.

What would happen if you were born into a world filled with bizarre races wielding even stranger powers, as a species whose sole purpose is to evolve by devouring every other race? Chaos. That's exactly what happens when the universe's one and only true Apex Predator is born into Marvel. This is the story of how Xenomorph tears apart the cosmic food chain and reshapes the hierarchy of life itself.

In 1950, a red rupture split the sky open and changed humanity forever. When the rift vanished, nearly sixty percent of the population awakened supernatural abilities. Cities fell, new powers reshaped society, and from that day forward most people manifested their abilities at the age of sixteen. Power became status. Power became survival. Alan Winchester is the son of the world’s top ranked hero, yet when his generation begins awakening, nothing happens to him. With no abilities in a world built around the superhuman, he turns to science and works inside his father’s organization, believing he can still earn his place another way. Then he discovers classified files: illegal experiments, disappearances, and murder cases hidden behind the image of heroism. After a chain of violent events forces him out of everything he knows, Alan travels to China searching for answers, training, and a different path to power. What begins as survival turns into something far more dangerous as he uncovers forces tied to the original catastrophe that changed humanity. Death. Corruption. Revenge. In a world ruled by strength, Alan will carve his own. What to Expect: Weak to strong progression Brutal fights with real consequences Detailed power systems and scaling Mystery arcs and hidden conspiracies Hero vs villain conflicts with lasting damage Slow-burn romance later on Side characters are not guaranteed to survive ----- New chapters/EPs will be uploaded on Mondays & Thursdays (bonus chapter randomly on Saturday depending on my work schedule) at 1 PM CET (North Africa/Europe time).

Victor never expected to wake up inside the world of a story he already knew. Worse, he didn’t transmigrate into the protagonist. He became Victor Alves, the arrogant only son of Duke Alves, a powerful noble heir studying at Starlight Royal Academy and, more importantly, one of the villains destined to become a stepping stone for the original protagonist, Ryan Carter. Victor knows how this story is supposed to end. Ryan will rise. The geniuses surrounding him will become monsters who shake the continent. The Alves family will collapse. And within a year, Victor himself will die. Fortunately, the moment Victor accepts his new reality, he awakens the Investment System. The system allows him to see the hidden potential, needs, talents, and possible futures of those around him. By investing gold, equipment, potions, skills, bloodlines, cultivation resources, and even opportunities into suitable targets, Victor can change their destinies and receive multiplied returns. A struggling swordsman with the potential to become a legendary Sword Saint? Invest. An overlooked servant hiding a terrifying bloodline? Invest. A future powerhouse destined to die before ever realizing her potential? Invest. While the empire’s nobles compete for geniuses who have already proven themselves, Victor quietly gathers those the world has ignored and turns them into monsters. And every time his followers grow stronger, Victor’s rewards become even more absurd. By the time the great families realize that the insignificant people surrounding Victor have become generals, Sword Saints, assassins, and legendary mages, it is already too late. Because Victor was never simply raising subordinates....He was building an empire of his own.
