The Minor Villain's Tale: The Act 3 Middle Boss Was a Regressor?

Max was a former assassin who lived a lonely and peaceful life. He spent all 7 years of his life in loneliness, but it did not matter. He found great joy in playing "The Adventures of Emiliana, Searching for Truth," a reverse harem visual novel he found by accident. At first, he thought the game was bad. However, he changed his mind because of his favorite character: the fiancee of the crown prince, who was one of the male leads. This fiancee was a villainess. She was his favorite character and also his crush. In his whole life, she was the only one who made things feel special and worth living for. He tried every choice possible to make her survive in the game, but it was all useless. When she died in a terrible and sad way, he threw his glass of beer in anger. "FUCK THIS GAME!" He went outside and was suddenly shot in the head. Then, he woke up in the body of Sylan, the Act 3 middle boss of the game. He lived that life not once, not twice, but 30 thousand times. He went back in time thousand of times to try and save his crush. He always failed. In his final try, he died at Emiliana's hands by the power of the goddess. He thought he would go back in time again. He thought he would suffer another life as Sylan. Instead, he woke up in his past life as Max.

The Ink of Starlight

At exactly 3:00 AM, the lights of Hawthorne University’s North Wing Library begin to flicker. For Elara, this is no ordinary night. Haunted by the mysterious death of her father, she has spent years searching for answers hidden inside his forgotten notes. One name appears repeatedly in his writings: The Codex Umbra—an ancient book believed to contain secrets that were never meant to be discovered. But when Elara finally finds the mysterious book, something impossible happens. Her reflection blinks two seconds after she does. The book pulses beneath her fingertips as if it has a heartbeat of its own. Strange symbols appear across its pages, and an unfamiliar voice begins whispering her name. Soon, Elara discovers that the Codex Umbra is not simply a book. It is a gateway to a forgotten world where magic is written in ink, memories can become weapons, and ancient secrets refuse to remain buried. As mysterious figures begin watching her, Elara realizes that her father's death may be connected to a much older secret—one that powerful forces have spent centuries trying to protect. Every page she turns reveals another mystery. Every answer creates a more dangerous question. But the greatest secret is hidden inside the ink itself. What if Elara's story was written long before she was born? And what if the final chapter has already been written? Some books contain stories. Others change the fate of the world. Welcome to The Ink of Starlight.
