Jiang Chen never expected to find himself in a world of cultivation, let alone as a core disciple of a famous sect. Destined to play the villain’s role, his future was full of trouble. He had plotted against the protagonist, crippling his dantian and turning him into a disgraced outcast, barely holding onto his place in the sect. If not for a surprising twist, Jiang Chen’s story might have ended as a small chapter in the protagonist’s grand journey. Understanding how risky his position was, Jiang Chen gave a sly grin. Alone, he thought to himself: 'Is the protagonist strong? No doubt about it. But am I afraid? Definitely not. Why? Because I have the Immortal Great Villain System!' Then he paused, his expression changing slightly. 'Wait… there’s more than one protagonist?' Instead of feeling worried, his grin grew wider. 'Well, isn’t that perfect?' With a sharp glint in his eyes, Jiang Chen made a bold declaration to himself: 'As the ultimate Great Villain, I’ll defy Heaven’s will and stand at the top!'

Kevin Lin's world collapsed in the rain at his parents' funeral—left with nothing but grief and a mountain of doubt. Then, an heirloom pocket watch clicked to life, and a cold, mechanical voice echoed in his mind: "Wealth Game System activated. Welcome, Player." Overnight, $1 million appeared in his account. His first mission: spend $10,000 in 24 hours. From the sun-drenched illusions of Rodeo Drive to the electric chaos of Las Vegas, from the cutthroat boardrooms of Wall Street to the glittering lies of Hollywood, Kevin is thrust into a high-stakes game where money is both weapon and score. But this is no simple tale of endless luxury. He is not alone. The System has other Players, hidden in the world's shadows, each with their own agenda. The mysterious "Shadow Master" watches his every move, and a legacy tied to his parents' deaths begins to unravel. With the help of a brilliant but skeptical team—a disgraced genius programmer, a razor-sharp former Wall Street analyst, and a loyal ex-special forces protector—Kevin must learn to navigate alliances and betrayals. Alongside him are three extraordinary women: Avila, whose kindness anchors him to his past; Sophia, a rising star who offers a taste of glamour and danger; and Isabella, a financial scion who challenges him to become an equal.

[A/N: No smut. Moderate pacing, with a slight lean toward fast pacing to keep the story sharp and avoid dragging. Romance is secondary] ___ I transmigrated into a slow-paced action romance fantasy novel. You know the type. A naïve, righteous protagonist with a growing harem, invasive creatures to slaughter, a God to kill, and a guaranteed happy ending. And then there was the Mob villain. The jealous, exiled twin brother who goes full psycho, challenges the protagonist… and gets killed by his own fiancée. Yeah. That villain was me, Caelir Vayne. But everything changed when I awakened SSS class and three op skills. Cloning. Copy. Fusion. “…Wait. Isn’t this a little too overpowered?” But something’s wrong. Why isn’t the plot following the story? Why are events spiraling out of control? And worst of all… Why is my fiancée, the girl who killed me in the original story, now staring at me like I’m the only thing that exists? Hold on. They have a word for this kind of behavior. “…Don’t tell me... she’s a yandere?” ------------ Updates: 12 chapters per week. 1 chapter on Wednesday and Saturday, while 2 chapters on other days. ...

The legendary Field Marshal Ferdinand, the Iron Guardian and embodiment of valor, believed his tale ended when he sacrificed himself to repel the final calamity and protect humanity’s last spark of hope. He was no chosen champion of fate — only a man who struck harder and endured longer than anyone else, carrying the burden of the Garden of Eve on his shoulders. "With this... my duty has finally come to an end. O World, my final salutations to you." Yet fate defied him. Instead of death, Ferdinand awakens in the fragile body of a young boy named Kurian. At first, he longs to take life slowly, to savor this second chance in peace. Yet, even when this new world seemed calm, harsh truths came crashing down to remind him that Solaris III is no paradise. Ravaged by the great catastrophe known as The Lament, its laws of nature are fractured, spawning anomalies and granting many the powers of Resonators. But Ferdinand is no Resonator. Though stripped of power, he does not waver. For he has never been a stranger to struggle. If survival demands it, he will once again strike harder, endure longer, and fight more fiercely than anyone else. Because he is not a beginner to this concept. Now bearing the mantle of a mercenary rather than the soldier he once was, Kurian — the Iron Hound — unsheathes his weapon, ready to face the chaos. "Those who rise in the hour of battle, wielding courage over fear, are truly mighty."
