Catalyst Cross Lesio

If Naph, a 17 year old, was asked what’s the value of a life? He may answer, “not much.” He would be lying. Extremely. Based on his own experience and his one true goal. Anaphol, aka, Naph, had just killed Bulwark. A 12 year old child designated as a terrorist in a world that is just around the corner to pass its established steampunk era. The bounty on her head? 10 million Tarna. With a condition, ‘bring her head back clean and undamaged.’ Money he wanted to collect for his goal of delivering justice in a place far away. But the consequence of killing Bulwark? A war of enormous proportion on the country that took him in, the very same country that put the bounty on Bulwark. As he began realizing the weight of the consequence, a ray of hope came from the very same light source of his morality. Don Extea gave him a message to follow and he followed it. The message entangling him further into the stories and fate of the world he did not want to become part of. “What a world, as if it is in fact a dark fantasy wanting to be a steampunk.” Remarked a noble referred to as the Duchess of Knowledge in the platinent Jhorime. That only entangled him further and further into what the world demanded out of his existence, pulling him away from the goal he wishes to complete and pushes towards his goal despite it all. Yet, despite everything that keeps happening, one word kept ringing in his mind until he learned its true meaning before he could complete his own goal, the word being: “Cata.” ---------------------------------------------------- Updates regularly with 1 chapter a day. ---------------------------------------------------- Genre: Modern, Urban, Fantasy, Steampunk, Sci-fi, Adventure ---------------------------------------------------- To read ahead of Webnovel and RoyalRoad become my patron on patreon.com, the handle is mentioned below! :) This story is also available on RoyalRoad.com with the same title "Catalyst Cross Lesio" with the username 'alexUnderTheStars'.

Supervillian Lord Malachai the Dread is an awesome guy! No really!

Evil has a reputation problem. In a world overflowing with dark lords, liches, demon queens, and world-ending prophecies, most villains rule through fear, cruelty, and expendable henchmen. Burnout is high. Survival rates are low. Dental coverage is nonexistent. Lord Malachai the Dread is different. A terrifying presence wrapped in ritual armor and apocalyptic intent, Malachai is also an unusually considerate employer. He offers full medical and dental benefits, fair wages, hazard pay, and flexible scheduling. He remembers birthdays. He helps henchmen move apartments. He believes loyalty is earned—not forced. As heroes rise, rival villains scheme, and the world edges closer to conquest or collapse, Malachai’s organization grows not because it is feared, but because it works. Henchmen choose to stay. Morale improves. Productivity rises. And slowly, quietly, the most dangerous villain of all begins to take shape—not because he is the cruelest… but because he is the most competent. This is a comedic fantasy web novel about workplace culture, loyalty, and what happens when evil finally figures out how to run itself like a functional organization. It blends sharp humor with heartfelt moments, exploring villainy through the lens of management, ethics, and the simple power of treating people well—even while plotting the end of the world. After all, anyone can rule through terror. But only a truly great villain offers dental.

Heroine Creation: All My Summons Are Custom Made

“So I can summon Heroines and Villainesses, but I just have to create them myself? Seems easy enough!” Max lived for one thing and one thing only: a good story. Novels were the only escape in his mundane life. However, all the light novels and manhwas he read had the same problem: Ruining female characters. In all these novels, the powerful heroines and terrifying villainesses were always reduced to one-dimensional trophies obsessed with the MC. They had no goals or purpose of their own. When Max discovered Awakener Supreme, he thought it would be different. It started out promising; a dark fantasy, detailed, consistent world building, a complex magic system and interesting characters. But everything went downhill pretty fast. To please the fans, the dark tone vanished, and the fierce female cast was reduced to shallow fan service. In a burst of anger, Max confronted the lead writer, criticizing him for ruining female characters, and claiming he could do a much better job at creating heroines and villainesses. He never expected the universe to take him at his word. Max suddenly wakes up inside the world of Awakener Supreme, and was given the chance to back up what he had claimed in the form of a unique class. ⸢ You have awakened your Class ⸥ ⸢ Class: Architect - You can create heroines and villainesses and make them your Summons ⸥ ⸢ Class Group: Summoner ⸥ Was Max all talk? Or can he truly create more powerful and consistent heroines and villainesses to help him survive the grim world of Awakener Supreme?
