villain

In a world where magic is a tool of commerce and power is inherited in bloodlines older than memory, an unnamed girl is found beneath a tree — four years old, half-destroyed, and alive in ways that should not be possible. She cannot die. No blade, no fire, no obliteration can hold her. What is consumed returns. What is erased reappears. She passes first through the hands of Billy, a merchant-turned-smuggler whose pragmatism curdles, over months, into something he never names but which the reader recognizes. He sells her to Simon — scion of one of the continent's seven great families, a man of precise intelligence and a body that is slowly losing its argument with time. Simon wants the Elixir of Eternal Life. He believes the girl holds its secret. Two years of trials yield only one certainty: she is not the answer to Simon's question. She is proof that the question was wrong. Her immortality is not a gift — it is continuance stripped of everything that makes continuance worth wanting. A body without a self. Life without a witness. Then Simon finds the ship. And everything changes.

The world of Altera Earth was meant to be a world rebuilt by gods, Fluxers, Humans and Empires that survived three world wars. But under its power and empires lies a silent truth. A player of a famous otome gacha game, Masquerade of Dreams: Shattered, transmigrates into the body of Phasnovterich Vecria Argemenes, known to most as Phaser. He awakens on Altera Earth on Valentine’s Day together with hundreds of thousands of other players now known as Outers. As a famous hidden character and one who dies in the later stages of the game, Phaser learns to get stronger for the sake of saving his life. With no hope of getting back home, he must adapt to the harsh world of Altera Earth together with other Outers forever. When dreams become worlds and the masquerade falls, who’s left to play the hero?

Raised by a necromancer with glowing green eyes and a questionable moral compass, Harry grows up mastering the art of death—literally. Horcrux crafting? Check. Conversing with ghosts? Easy. Questionable life choices? Well, he’s pretty sure he turned out alright. The Wizarding World isn’t ready for this version of the Boy Who Lived.

How far would someone go to reach the summit of power? And what happens when success demands more than anyone dares to admit? In a world ruled by secrets, influence, and unseen forces, you may discover that some deals are not sealed with signatures… but with something far more dangerous.

(A/N: Their relationship dynamic progresses and doesn't stay exactly like it is at the start (The one-sided love doesn't last long). Pacing is also relatively fast at the start, but slows down in the future in romance arcs.) In his old life, he was an assassin, invisible, efficient, and utterly alone. His only escape came from the pages of a fantasy novel, Crown of Thorns, and the character no one else seemed to understand: Lady Evelina D’Arclight, the proud and brilliant villainess fated to lose everything. After his death, he wakes up inside that very story, not as a hero, but as Cael Arden, a student at Eryndor Royal Academy. The world is just as he remembers it, right down to the woman destined to fall. But this time, he’s not a bystander. With a lifetime of deadly skills and the knowledge of what’s to come, Cael sets out to rewrite the story itself, to protect Evelina, rise through the academy’s ruthless hierarchy, and change a fate written in stone. As alliances form and secrets surface, the line between fiction and reality starts to blur. And in a world built on power and prophecy, he’ll prove that even a villainess deserves her happy ending.

Salvatore Esposito became Don at fifteen, inheriting an empire built on blood and a war he never asked for. For nineteen years, he has stood as the wall between his family and the predators circling them, chief among them Enzo Domenico, the rival kingpin who has coveted what the Espositos possess for three decades. Salvatore knows how to navigate treachery, how to read men's intentions in the space between words, and how to eliminate threats before they take root. What he does not know is what to do about Valdina Greco. She arrives on Massimo Domenico's arm. The same Massimo whose reckless night with Salvatore's sister left Francesca pregnant and vulnerable, a pawn the Domenicos now intend to use to force a merger Salvatore would burn the world to prevent. Valdina is beautiful, poised, and performing a role so flawlessly that most men never see past the surface. But Salvatore is not most men. He recognizes the intelligence behind her careful smiles, the way she catalogs exits like someone trained for extraction, the manufactured past that reads like fiction dressed as fact. When he discovers the truth, that Valdina Greco is actually Valentina Vitale, a federal agent whose mission includes dismantling both the Domenico and Esposito empires, he should eliminate her without hesitation. Instead, he offers protection. Her evidence destroys his enemy. His silence keeps her alive long enough to gather it. It is a devil's bargain built on mutual destruction, strategic and transactional, nothing more. But as Massimo's violence begins to mark her skin and a wedding draws both families under one roof, the alliance between a ruthless Don and the agent sent to destroy him becomes far more dangerous than either anticipated. Bound by necessity and haunted by an attraction neither can afford, Salvatore and Valentina step into a partnership where every truth is a weapon, every lie a lifeline, and every moment together pulls them toward a reckoning that could save them both or destroy everything they've fought to protect. Because in Sicily, the line between ally and enemy, between duty and desire, is far thinner and far deadlier than either of them imagined.

I didn't kill myself." The voice comes through the jacket. Quiet. Certain. Wrong. Sage drops it but the words stay. She's heard the dead before. Accident victims. Old people. Natural causes. But this one is different. This one was murdered and everyone thinks it was suicide. Now she can't stop. Every thrift store. Every yard sale. Every abandoned house. Hunting for objects. Chasing voices. Because the dead don't lie and someone is getting away with murder. But the voices don't leave when she's done listening. They stay. Stacking. Screaming. She writes them down, blocks them out, but there are too many now and she's running out of ways to make them stop. Her mom says she's sick. The police say she's wasting their time. Her only friend says she needs to let it go. But Sage can't. Not when the killer is still out there. Not when the dead keep calling her name. The truth is the only thing that will save her. Or the thing that finally breaks her.

Ruan Shuyang always believed his fiancé, Pei Siming, was his salvation. He never expected the other man would personally hand him over to a brutal Alpha who took pleasure in maliciously marking Omegas. After a desperate escape, he overheard Pei Siming sneer to a friend: “Ruan Shuyang? With his lowly background, even touching him would dirty me.” Stumbling away in shock, he collided with a strange “Alpha.” Just then, his hormones went haywire, triggering an unexpected heat, and his suppressants failed. The “Alpha” gave him a temporary mark, soothing him. It felt like icy dew sprinkling over lily of the valley. Ruan Shuyang thought once the temporary mark faded, he and the stranger would have no further connection. He never imagined that days later, his body would begin uncontrollably craving that person’s pheromones. He developed pheromone dependency. Suppressants couldn’t overcome his body’s desperate yearning. He secretly tried to find information about the man. To his astonishment, the man turned out to be Pei Siming’s half-brother, the true heir of the Pei family, the young master Pei Siyue. Moreover, after initially presenting as an Alpha, Pei Siyue had undergone a secondary differentiation, becoming an extremely dangerous Enigma—one who could even mark Alphas. ** In the top-floor office of the Pei Corporation headquarters, Ruan Shuyang wept and trembled, trying to break free from the tall Enigma marking him. “No… no more…” The Enigma’s pheromones were overwhelmingly potent and domineering, causing the Omega’s frail body immense suffering. Pei Siyue’s voice, husky, intoxicating, and brooking no refusal, sounded by his ear: “Endure it a little. It will… be over soon.” Whimper… you said that last time too, but it took so, so long… Ruan Shuyang’s heart cried out in protest, but the invasive Enigma pheromones left him so weak he couldn’t form a complete sentence. ** Pei Siming never expected to see Ruan Shuyang again at the Pei family gala. This Omega, whom he had never taken seriously and considered a mere plaything, seemed transformed. The lily of the valley appeared to have received the finest nourishment. Ruan Shuyang, with his bright eyes and snow-white skin, nestled softly and delicately in the arms of his elder brother, Pei Siyue. Pei Siming’s eyes instantly burned crimson with rage.

A debt written in blood. A life stolen by lies. When blood pays debts, there is no forgiveness. The same thing is soon learned by the young, twenty-three-year-old Jo Taesung, who comes to visit his biological father in Seoul. But instead of a family hug, something completely different awaits him there. Or should I say, someone completely different? In a world where names mean nothing and loyalty is bought with dirty work, Taesung soon realizes that surviving means becoming something he never wanted to do in the first place. Being a tool controlled by only one person. On the streets of Seoul, where the mafia sets the rules and lives are turned into trade item, he discovers how deep betrayal goes. And in the darkness he has been thrown into, forgiveness is a luxury that no one has the right to. Jo Taesung believed that family, his own blood, was the only certainty he had left. But faith is overrated.

In the unforgiving wilderness of a desolate continent, a young wolf is born into a world where the weak are prey and the strong are still prey. This harsh, primal forest is a place where survival is a relentless struggle, and every creature fights to claim their place in the brutal hierarchy of the food chain. From the moment it opens its eyes, the little wolf, named Kai Syaoran, understands the ruthless laws of nature. The little wolf begins to question what it means to be perfect and whether true perfection can ever be achieved without immortality. Driven by an insatiable desire for perfection and the elusive promise of eternity, Kai Syaoran embarks on a perilous journey to rise above all things .

"What is written in thy blood shall not be undone." Nobody becomes dangerous overnight. It starts with a choice, a small one, something you tell yourself doesn't count. Then another. Then another. And by the time you look in the mirror you don't recognize what's staring back, but you don't hate it either. After spending his whole life being tormented by everyone around him, Isaac stumbles across a book that will change everything. But power like this doesn't come free. All he has to do is commit sins and he'll grow stronger, strong enough to transcend his mortal shell entirely. The path sounds simple enough until it isn't. Being a Bearer means being a sinner, and sinners don't go unnoticed for long. There are those who hunt what he's becoming, people who consider themselves righteous enough to put him down before he reaches what's waiting at the end of this road. The question isn't whether Isaac is willing to sin. He's already proven that. The question is whether he'll survive long enough to see what all of it was for.

The Horcrux in his scar clashes with the curse in his blood, twisting fate into something far more dangerous. Now, the wizarding world whispers a new name: The Lord of Werewolves. Will Dumbledore’s plans survive this wild, unpredictable force? Will the world accept its savior… or fear the monster he’s becoming? One thing’s certain—destiny just got fangs.

Protect the world. But he hadn't lost the Dravis from the modern world. As a professor at the morning, an earl at the afternoon, and a dark knight at the night. _____________________________ "You've hurt my student." Draven stands still, no mana seems to emit from him, but just a single frown. A frown that is enough to make the room's heavy. "As a teacher, you think I would leave you unpunished?" "You seem to think that I care about your position, Prince Hermit. But believe me," Draven took a slow step. "Not even your father could protect you from me," _____________________________ Daily Update 2 Chapters = 14 chapters/week Some Friendly Rewards 100 Powerstones = +2 chapters in that day 200 Powerstones = +4 chapters in that day 50 Golden Tickets = +4 chapters in that day 1 Gift = +4 chapters in that day _____________________________ One of the King of Kings Series
