Long ago, a paranoid king sealed away his greatest warriors, believing they would be needed in a distant age to defend the kingdom. One such warrior now awakens. His memories are faint echoes, his only certainty is the strength still burning in his body. But the kingdom he swore to protect has long since crumbled, replaced by fractured nations and broken crowns. The world is not as he left it. A scourge has spread across land and life alike, corrupting man, beast, and soil, leaving behind only wastelands. Corruption has taken over the few pockets of civilization left. Demons roam everywhere and magic runs wild. With no past to anchor him and no nation to serve, he wanders. Given a new name by a lazy dragon, he begins a journey across a dying world, trying to protect what little remains from the darkness consuming it.

I had just finished one of the best games I have ever played, only to look up and find I was no longer in my room, but kneeling in the bloody sand of a colossal, sun-baked fighting arena. How did this happen? How did things go from playing a video game to being transported into the body of a background character within the game, who was exonerated and abandoned due to not having as much magical potential as the rest of the family? …A character who was doomed to die a very horrible death right at the beginning of the game?

TITLE: My Villainess Ex Won't Leave Me Alone (And I'm Fine With That) SYNOPSIS: Starting a forbidden relationship with the duke’s daughter was the most reckless thing Lucian had ever done in his life. Up until now, his only risks were hunting rare saplings from dangerous places. Now, he was breaking the nobles’ rules. And it backfired, horribly. Not once, not twice, not thrice but multiple times. He almost died once, lost a few friends, fled his homeland, and then almost died again, but here he was, not really learning. "So dumb," the devil voice in his head whispered in disdain, "How more idiotic can you get?" "As far as idiocy goes deep," Lucian answered, accepting the new path of his life, "And it goes deep. And wide." Goal: get wealthy and powerful enough to afford more idiocy Current arsenal: blood, sweat, tears, and pure wits Start point: gardener End point: unknown TAGS: #YANDERE #NO-NTR #loyalMC #loyalFL #insaneFL #evilFL #forbidden-love #you-can't-f‎ix-her-FL #lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers #nobility #fantasy #pirates #secret-organization #territorymanagement #obsessive-love-interest #comedy #conspiracy #businessman #moneymaking #mystery #Adult #Mature

Gloom Dwellers. Evil spirits that devour souls and are invisible to the human eye. Only members of the Order of the Light can fight back against their might. These exorcists hail from ancient blessed bloodlines which confer upon each of them individual spirit powers they use to fight Gloom Dwellers. Caden McLaren is a 'tainted blood' - the product of a pairing between the most powerful exorcist to ever grace the Order and a plain human. Due to his tainted blood, he bears no spirit powers except the ability to perceive Gloom Dwellers. His mother's death in childbirth made him her only heir, and so Caden is adopted by the Order and trained to be an exorcist regardless of his inability to do so. And his disinterest in doing so. While it seems the Gloom Dwellers have nearly been wiped from the world entirely, a new and staggeringly powerful Gloom Dweller has formed, possessing both genius intellect and sharp cunning. Caught unaware, the Order is thoroughly devastated in a sudden massive attack orchestrated by this new leader, and only Caden and a few of his friends survive the purge. In the process of escaping, Caden discovers he is the first tainted blood to somehow have a spirit power after all: he controls the Gloom - a cursed and malleable goo that Gloom Dwellers naturally create and wave to their purposes. Caden is the ultimate King of the Gloom, and the last dying ember of the Order of Light.

In that dreary tower, do you see it? Those stars. Lathell is an aristocrat from the Caileid Family; he was given the golden spoon from birth. From that, he turned into the worst, a playboy and a narcissist, rampaging through every bar and brothel he could set his eyes on. Someone, knowing his reputation, framed him for a murder he didn't commit. Even though he was given a not guilty verdict, his reputation tanked even more. After his family, fed up with his antics, kicked him out, the boy was attacked until a blue-haired priest saved him and led him to the Ashterhall Corp. Daydreamers, a mercenary guild infamous for its bad behaviour and eccentric people. So, uhh guys, this is my first time writing a novel, not a fanfic, so uhhh wish me luck and send me some stones if y'all have em!! Rizz.

I am not a hero, but I once dreamed of becoming one. However, fate and the world conspired to shatter my dreams. This world was created by light and darkness, by heroes and villains. If everyone wants to be a hero, then who will be the villain? The world laughed at my suffering and called it justice. I used to believe them. I don't anymore. And so, I was forced into a role I never wanted—the villain. Yet every step I take feels like betraying those who love me, those who believed in me and sacrificed everything so I could survive. I am not a villain, nor are the others. There are no evil people in this world; they are victims of societal cruelty and the system. Destiny is not something you can reject… but you can choose how you live it. Darkness is not the opposite of light… it is where light is born and dies. And I? I am the end of everything.

Dread Mage Vellichor; feared and old; and someone who has mastered wizardry at its core, is bored of life and the strenuous actions of the bigger picture. He just wants small, but meaningful interactions with life. And he starts with a little dead girl he called Sonder. --- The chapters are what I call bite-sized, (only around 400 to 700 words), and I'll try to upload a chapter every day except for the weekend.

All his life, Leonard Hofstadter was a doormat. The son of a narcissistic mother, a middle child with no warmth who later became the roommate of the egotistical scientist Sheldon Cooper.

They killed me with fire when I was a Demon. They silenced me when I was a God of Music. They betrayed me when I was the King of Beasts. For nine lifetimes, I played by the rules of the Heavens. And nine times, the faceless Rulers of the Multiverse—the Arbiters—cut my strings. They thought the Ninth Death was the end. They were wrong." Rudra has returned for his tenth and final life. Born into the prestigious Ye Clan, the world sees him as a disappointing "F-Rank" waste with no future. The Order of Providence—the secret watchdogs of the world—believe the "Anomaly" has been neutralized. They have no idea. Rudra’s "F-Rank" talent is actually the Void, a hunger so deep it cannot be measured. While other cultivators meditate for years to gather a drop of Qi, Rudra grows stronger by Eating. Rusty swords? Crunch. Iron Bones Forged. Deadly poisons? Gulp. Immunity Acquired. Heavenly Tribulation Lightning? Slurp. Soul Refined. Armed with Antakala—a sword forged from the soul of his Dragon Queen wife—and protecting his little sister, the reincarnated Primordial Phoenix, Rudra is done following the Dao. In this life, he will not ascend to the Heavens. He is going to devour them. The Tenth Sovereign has awakened. And he is very, very hungry.

"If life is a cycle of waiting and loss, where even promises fade like dust, is it worth seeking meaning—or is surrender the only escape from the quicksands of fate?"

"...I can't kill you, father." That was what his precious daughter had said as she held the gun in her hand. In all honesty, he should have died a heroic death. In fact, he was worshipped as one by the people who knew him closely. But to the people all over the world, he was a villain. A vile human who had "taken everything away" as the government proclaimed. David had believed it would be the end. He would finally be able to rest without being disturbed ever. But then... [The Forgotten Deity has used Her Ultimate] [You are being transmigrated] As if the very universe remorsed his death, he was transmigrated and given a second chance at life. Now he found himself in a group of barbarians who were apparently being...CHASED by a princess?? The chase didn't last enough as they were caught... because of his mistake? "Definitely not...oh, wait why is she looking at me like that?" Caught in a web of politics and survival, David must navigate his way through it and fight back against his own slavery. But even through it all, he couldn't help but notice something peculiar. "Why is it that I see her everyday...?" As if that wasn't enough, the number of times the Princess crossed paths with him increased alarmingly. She never talked with him nor even looked at him. But that just made it even more dangerous. Was it really just a... coincidence?

People say they'd rather be transmigrated than reincarnated and to that I say: sure, but do you really have a choice between them..? i certainly didn't, it's not like i asked to be reincarnated into Tamriel, specifically Skyrim, where shitstorms happen on the daily... I suppose I just have to make the most of it.. I already died once, i'm definitely not trying to die again. [Hey guys! SunBass here, decided to try my hand on the writing aspect of Webnovel. I am a new author and to be honest, I've got absolutely no plan with this story so don't expect much. I will however, try hard to make this into something I myself would read so, goodbye for now!]

As many feared and protested, it was humanity itself that brought about their near mass extinction. Even now, Julius found it surreal. To live a life built on false pretenses, false expectations, and false promises, only to end as one of the great noble families responsible for humanity’s downfall, was a truth that fell bitterly on him. “Julius Sebastian Schneider.” “Yes.” “Any last words?” Even until the very last moment of his life, Julius's tenacity refused to die. Because a young master would always be a young master. And if there was anything left for him, it was his pride as a nobleman. [Rollback Initializing…] But his final moment was only the beginning of something anew. —————————————— More illustrations in the server. Discord: https://discord.gg/zukKB2ppDp
