villain

Within the grand halls of the Kingdom of Eskard, Irene lives like a ghost everyone pretends does not exist. Although she is the daughter of the great King, she is nothing more than "a stain upon his name" in everyone's eyes. Irene is the only princess of mixed, non-noble blood, the daughter of a maid whose entire family was massacred before her eyes by order of her own father, the King, under the pretext of treason and espionage. But the bitter truth behind their deaths was far more horrifying than anyone could bear, and far too dangerous to be revealed. The King kept her alive within the palace for years, not out of mercy as his people believed, but to use her as a bargaining chip, waiting for the perfect moment to dispose of her, just as he had done with her mother. And now, the time has come to "sell" her. He has decided to marry her off to General and Prince Lucas Theodore de Valerian of the enemy kingdom. Yet Lucas has never seen Irene as his wife. To him, she is nothing more than an additional burden that has kept him from being with the only woman he has ever loved. For Irene, however, this was not a losing bargain. It was the opportunity she had been waiting for all these years. Escaping her father's watchful eyes was the only freedom that would allow her to carry out her secret revenge from the shadows. But when the threads of fate begin to intertwine, and the abandoned princess finds herself in the heart of the enemy's den, will she remain faithful to her secret plan? And how can a heart that has known nothing but pain and revenge face a new reality such as love, a feeling it has never believed in? Will Irene succeed in bringing down the throne of the tyrant whose very name makes everyone tremble? Or will the snares of the past close around her before she can bring the curtain down on her revenge? follow my discord to find all information and update: https://discord.gg/mzHuNZwgK

In a magical medieval world, it's difficult to hold on to one's beliefs... even maintaining one's integrity is a challenge. Because the commoners here are not simple; they are ignorant, greedy, and cruel. Because the nobles here are not noble; they are insidious, ruthless, and tyrannical. However... not all human constitutions can be generalized. Lann touches the two hearts and three lungs beneath his chest. He estimates that not only in this world but also in the other worlds connected through the convergence of celestial spheres, he can maintain a healthy sense of morality. —And then get rid of all the incorrigible scum!

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.)

Becoming My Dream Pharmacist! - A Chance To Relive Modern Life - Book Description There are moments in life when the sky seems too far away to touch, when the distance between who you are and who you wanted to become stretches out like an endless winter night. Akio Hukitaske understood this distance all too well. At thirty-two, he had become a ghost haunting his own existence, a game designer lost in Tokyo's luminous sprawl, where neon signs painted false promises across rain-slicked streets and convenience store lights hummed their lonely lullabies until dawn. The deadlines came and went like seasons he'd stopped noticing. Hollowness had carved hollows into his heart that he'd learned to ignore, the way you ignore a distant ache that never quite fades. Somewhere along the way, between the caffeine crashes and the blue glow of countless computer screens, he had misplaced something precious: the dream of a kid who once believed he could heal the world's pain, one prescription at a time. That child wanted to become a pharmacist. That kid believed in hope. But dreams, like distant stars, grow dimmer when you stop looking up. Then came that night—the kind of night where snow falls silently over the city, blanketing everything in a strange, suspended peace. Drunk and stumbling through an alley beneath that endless winter sky, Akio encountered something impossible: a stranger with eyes too calm, too knowing. Before understanding could catch up with fear, there was the cold stab of a needle against his neck, and then, Darkness. When Akio opened his eyes again, the world had shifted on its axis. His hands were smaller. His room wore the familiar-unfamiliar face of a childhood he'd left behind. The mirror reflected a truth that shouldn't exist: the face of a fourteen-year-old kid staring back with thirty-two years of exhaustion behind his eyes. A mad scientist's experiment. An impossible regression. A second chance wrapped in the bewildering gift of youth restored. Now Akio must walk again through the halls that once witnessed his slow surrender, armed only with the weight of everything he's learned and lost. Every classroom whispers with ghosts of choices unmade. Every friendship carries the shadow of knowledge he shouldn't possess—the adult grief of an adult trapped in a body too young to hold it all. The pressure of expectations, the cruelty of adolescence, the suffocating routine of a society built on exhaustion—it's all here, waiting to break him again. But this time, something is different. Among the ordinary chaos of teenage life, Akio finds himself surrounded by people who refuse to let him disappear. Together, they become the constellation that guides him back toward something he'd forgotten existed—not the erasure of past wounds, but the courage to carry them forward. The understanding that healing isn't about becoming someone new; it's about learning to forgive the person you were. Becoming My Dream Pharmacist! is a story about the quiet weight of regret and the trembling possibility of redemption. It exists in the spaces between realism and surrealism, where modern life's crushing despair collides with the impossible second chance Akio holds onto. And sometimes, if you're given a chance to try again, that's enough to make the sky feel within reach once more. RATED: MA15+

THE HIDDEN DESTINY Synopsis In a world where spiritual energy determines the strength of warriors, five legendary Guardians are chosen to protect the balance between the Celestial Realm and the Demon Realm. Each Guardian possesses a unique spiritual power and a Guardian Sword capable of greatly increasing its wielder's abilities. Years after the great battle against the Demon King Abel Long, the world believes that the danger has finally passed. But the truth is far darker. The Demon King is dead, yet his son, Raymond Long, has inherited his throne. Manipulated by corrupt officials who secretly serve the Demon Realm, Raymond is convinced that King Tarius of the Celestial Realm was responsible for his father's death. His anger turns him into an even greater threat than his father. At the same time, a secret investigation uncovers a terrifying plan. The corrupt officials are searching for the next generation of Guardians. They intend to find them while they are still young and vulnerable, then absorb their powers for themselves. One man discovers the truth before it is too late. Kael Saryon, former head captain of the Thirteen Knight Squad, receives a secret message from his lieutenant revealing the conspiracy. Before Kael can reach him, the lieutenant is captured and killed. Knowing that he may be the next target, Kael disappears from the capital and begins searching for the young Guardians before the corrupt officials can find them. His journey eventually leads him to a young boy named Gohim. Gohim is unaware of the destiny waiting for him. His father, once a Guardian himself, disappeared after losing his Guardian Sword during a battle. Gohim possesses a sword, but it is not his true Guardian Sword. He also carries a mysterious book left behind by his father, a book containing techniques and secrets that Gohim does not yet understand. When Kael encounters Gohim, he begins to notice something unusual. There is enormous spiritual potential hidden inside the boy. But Gohim cannot simply unlock it through training. His body is still too weak, his control is incomplete, and his emotions can cause his spiritual energy to erupt dangerously. Kael begins teaching him how to fight without relying entirely on a sword, while Gohim undergoes brutal training in speed, agility, strength, reflexes, and critical thinking. Their journey becomes even more dangerous when the men searching for Kael finally track them down. During one battle, Gohim is severely wounded. Driven by desperation, an enormous amount of spiritual energy suddenly erupts from within him. Kael realizes that Gohim's true power has not awakened yet. Something far greater is sleeping inside him. Their journey eventually leads them to a mysterious mountain village where people have been disappearing. Their investigation takes them into an ancient cave inhabited by strange stone and sand creatures capable of merging together. At the entrance lives a powerful wolf whose spiritual ability is known as False Mirage and Illusion. He trains Gohim relentlessly, forcing him to improve not only his physical abilities but also his ability to think during battle. Meanwhile, Kael studies Gohim's father's Guardian Manual and discovers two rare Revival Pills, reserved for desperate situations. He also discovers a powerful sword technique that allows him to release concentrated spiritual energy from his blade. Deep inside the cave, Gohim and Kael encounter increasingly powerful enemies. The stone creatures possess glowing spiritual hearts. Their bodies can absorb ordinary power slashes, causing their strength to increase. After observing them carefully, Gohim discovers their weakness: their hearts must be struck directly. Surrounded and running out of options, Gohim develops a strategy. By combining a small amount of his spiritual energy with Kael's, they create the Gravity Push Bomb, a powerful compressed blast that throws the stone creatures apart and exposes them

In the frozen streets of Tokyo, where neon lights reflect off ice and humanity often feels like a distant memory, the Uki twins—Yatsumiya and Bradzi—have learned to survive on nothing but each other. Orphans of a cruel city, their childhood is a mosaic of loss, hunger, and cold that no warmth can ever truly thaw. But when a busy pharmacist, Akio Hukitaske, opens his doors and offers them shelter, kindness, and the simplest act of care, they glimpse a world they’ve never known—a fleeting spring in an endless winter. Yet safety is fragile, and innocence fleeting. Drawn into the shadows of the enigmatic Yaka Organization, the brothers are transformed from frightened children into instruments of precision, obedience, and cold intellect. Their memories of Akio and the warmth he offered are twisted into questions of weakness, their hearts reshaped by a doctrine that promises survival at any cost. Loyalty, pain, and identity become tools, their humanity a commodity to be measured and honed. Now, years later, the Uki brothers return—not as the children who once huddled for warmth, but as prodigies forged by suffering and science. On a snow-laden highway, past and present collide as they confront the figure who once saved them, forcing him to reckon with the consequences of compassion and the terrifying evolution of two hearts that have learned to burn. Becoming My Dream Pharmacist: Uki to Uki – Brothers of Two is a haunting, emotional journey of love, loss, and the fine line between salvation and destruction.

In the city where dreams are harvested and sold, truth has a price. Once a promising medical student, Yasahute Yakanuke’s life shattered the night his choices claimed an innocent life. Cast out of society and consumed by guilt, he’s drawn into the shadows of the powerful Yaka Laboratory—a secret organization that bends science and morality to its will. Now a journalist for their experiments, Yakanuke documents horrors disguised as progress: age regression, memory erasure, and the pursuit of time itself. But when he’s ordered to observe Subject 9764, a fifteen-year-old named Akio Hukitaske, something within him stirs. Akio’s unbreakable kindness reminds Yakanuke of the being he once hoped to be. Yet every secret comes with a cost, and the more he watches, the closer he drifts toward the one truth Yaka forbids—connection. Haunted by a past he can’t forget and a future he’s forbidden to change, Yakanuke must decide whether to remain Yaka’s loyal observer… or choose to be their enemy and get Akio in danger, even if it means vanishing from Akio’s world forever. He chooses the erasure part. Where he makes Akio forget him and in return he forgets Akio. A story of atonement, memory, and the fragile bond between science and the soul, The Yaka Journalist unravels the unseen side of Becoming My Dream Pharmacist—where one forgotten persons tragedy becomes the shadow of another’s dream. And the death of a certain journalist.

___Lost notes___ In the former Principality of Concord, UltraMan is a living legend—the world’s strongest hero, invincible and untouchable. For a decade, he’s crushed mafias, dismantled conspiracies, and stomped alien invasions underfoot. An unstoppable force with skin that no weapon can pierce and strength that outshines ancient myths. Everyone fears him. Everyone reveres him. But no one knows why a god like him—who could rule this world—chooses to protect it instead. That’s not the question I’m asking. Because UltraMan is gone. Vanished without trace. And I’m the one who made it happen. I don’t say this lightly. The world depends on him, but the world is broken in ways power alone can’t fix. I’m just trying to survive. If the balance falls apart, what remains? The streets, the lies, the shadows? How do you live when there’s no UltraMan to save the world? And what happens if you are the one who took him away? _____ Due to the many locations to keep track of, I placed a map in the comments of chapter one and 35. Hope you like the novel!

I was once known as Denial — the man who stood at the top of one of the most powerful criminal empires on Earth. I wasn’t a good man. I wasn’t a hero. And I certainly wasn’t naïve enough to trust anyone. Still, betrayal came — and with it, death. But instead of darkness… I opened my eyes in a new world. A world of magic. Of mythical creatures. Of kings, monsters, and gods. Now I am **Draven Vladimir** — a vampire hybrid. Son of the Vampire King. Born of a Dark Elf mother. A being that shouldn’t exist. They say mana is everything in this world. Funny thing is… I can’t use it. And I don’t care. I’ve ruled the underworld once before. I don’t need magic to survive. This time, I just want a quiet life. But power has a way of following men like me. And this world is about to learn— Some monsters should be left alone.

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.
