antihero

Once, Riven had everything — a name, a future, a throne. Then he lost his arm, and with it, his world. Now, half-dead and dumped in a demonic sect where monsters wear human faces, Riven is told to prove his worth… or die quietly. But what the sect doesn’t realize is this: he’s already died once. And something survived the fall — something buried in his blood that should’ve stayed asleep. Thrown into brutal trials, surrounded by rivals who kill for merit and beasts that kill for sport, Riven doesn’t want revenge. He wants to live. But if he rises? They’ll remember the prince they tried to waste — and regret they ever left him breathing.

In the crumbling Kingdom of Hyfelt, on the edge of total collapse, nobles sharpen their knives for a bloody succession war while monsters tear through the land and other races await to enslave and cleanse what's left. Then came "Vincent" a history-obsessed tabletop wargamer who somehow woke up as Baron "Victor", lord of a northern backwater town of Vindia. With nothing but his brain full of mankind's past and wargaming tactics, can this random modern guy pull a dying kingdom back from the brink and stop whatever races from turning humans into footnote in history book, or does he just become another idiot who thought he was special, only to get erased from history like everyone else? I will also be posting my novel on RoyalRoad.com, BTW.

Kailen Darkhaven had a simple, happy life growing up. But when a sudden misfortune claimed the lives of his parents two years ago, his entire world collapsed. His heart broke, his grades plummeted, and worst of all, on his sixteenth birthday—his final chance at hope—he failed to become an Awakener. By his seventeenth birthday, hungry, exhausted, and alone, Kailen collapsed in an alleyway, regretting how pitiful his life had been. As he drifted toward what he believed was death’s embrace… something impossible happened. Instead of dying, he awakened bound to a mysterious artifact—an object of overwhelming, incomprehensible power that defied every known law of the universe. For the first time since losing everything, a spark lit within him. With this second opportunity, Kailen vows to never be weak again. In a world where strength determines identity, status, and survival, he will rise above every boundary placed upon him. He will shatter every perception of strength. He will seize control of his fate. He will climb until he stands at the absolute Pinnacle of the universe! --- Tags: #Psychological #Interstellar( with advanced technology) #Unrivaled #ExtremelyFastPaced #UndeadArmy #NoHarem #RuthlessMC #Urban #Apocalypse #Mythical creatures( elves, vampires, witches, dwarves etc) #IntelligentMC(High IQ, deductive , strategic, high functioning psychopath) Disclaimer: This is purely a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real names, places, or events is coincidental. This is an extremely fast-paced novel, and the protagonist becomes absurdly overpowered. He is not the usual “hero complex” type. The villain and antihero tags are not for show. If you are looking for a “goody-two-shoes” protagonist, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. He makes decisions that those interested in hero complex protagonists may not find pleasant. Note for Readers (Please do not skip): Early on, Kailen awakens with a shadow affinity. Yes—it may remind you of popular works you've read… but this is only the beginning. As the story progresses, he will unlock and master multiple affinities. The shadow affinity is a nod to some of my favorite novels, but the journey, characters, and world are entirely my own. Join the Community: Care to interact with me and other readers?

Thousands of people fall from the sky into a fantasy world of jungles, ruins, and wars. They land without memories, names, or answers. Survival is immediate, trust is fragile, and monsters roam the lands. One intelligent boy survives the fall, but remembers nothing of who he was. He has only the growing fear that he could die here without ever knowing. In this world, power is not a gift but a dangerous pressure that answers only when it wants to, shaping those who rely on it whether they choose to or not. His goal is simple: survive long enough to reclaim his identity. But as the world closes in and the line between friend and foe begins to blur, one truth becomes impossible to ignore—if he isn’t careful, he won’t just lose his past… He may never see his future. A Survival Fantasy story with LitRPG elements. A smart MC who is calculated yet emotional and a World of War, Monsters, And unknown horrors. With a some romance underneath it all.

"Special Admission, Rank 1." That was the title on the golden invitation I threw into the trash three months ago. Back then, I was the Crime Lord of Oakhaven. I had money, territory, and an ego that touched the sky. Why would a King lower himself to attend a school? I was arrogant. I was foolish. And I paid the price. It took less than an hour for a single knight to turn my criminal empire into a graveyard. He didn't just defeat me; he ignored me. I was an ant beneath the boot of a god. Broken and desperate, I used my last asset: a golden letter granting me entry to Zenith Imperial Academy as "Special Admission Rank 1." It’s a lie. I’m not a prodigy. I’m a fraud with no foundation, surrounded by the strongest heirs in the Empire who want to see me bleed. I can’t cast their spells. I can’t hold their weapons. But I can steal their lives. My Authority is [Usurper]. While they study theory, I steal reflexes. While they practice honor, I copy trauma. I am not here to learn. I am here to hunt. My targets are the "Four Calamities"—four women who hold powers strong enough to rewrite reality. They think I’m their peer. They don’t know I’m the parasite waiting to hollow them out. I’m going to make them mine. Discord: https://discord.gg/FK9GfrSjtb

In recognition of his achievements, he is formally bestowed the title of Prince of Snezhnaya, standing above the Eleven Fatui Harbingers. “Sorry for making you bear the sorrow of the entire world along with me.” “If you can endure my bitter cold, then there must be a blazing desire burning in your hearts.” “Then… burn down the old world for me.” The Tsaritsa: From today onward, you are the Prince of Snezhnaya. Severin: So this is you pushing me to become a full-fledged villain?

In a war of illusions, sight may guide the powerful, but only intent will decide who survives.

Time had run out. Azrael hadn't been chosen by the system, leaving him Forsaken with no hope for a prosperous life. But he wasn’t going to let it end like this. Even if it meant trading his life for a single chance, he would take it. It was either a life of greatness, one where he would reach the very top… or a short one, dying here, unmourned and forgotten by a cursed world that never cared he existed. “An early end in pursuit of greatness sounds better than a slightly longer one filled with stagnation and regret.” In the end, all the things he had done hadn’t been for naught. The sacrifices up until now had been worth it. [Inborn Trait activated] [System devoured] [Inborn Trait is fusing with the system] [Devouring System has been granted] To his surprise, however, his system proved to be far more extraordinary than the others, granting him a unique path that only he could follow. With that realization, one thing became certain: no matter what monster or human stood in his way, he would reach the very top of the hierarchy, regardless of the cost.

Evan Cole logged in expecting escape. The world that answered did not allow logging out. There were rules. He just wasn’t told what they were. No tutorials. No second lives. No guarantee that survival meant safety. Survival demands more than strength. It demands observation, restraint, and the discipline to endure pressure without losing himself. What began as confusion became adaptation. Evan survives by observing patterns and refusing to surrender his judgment to fear or convenience. Evan is not chosen. He is not destined. He is not the strongest. He is simply trying to survive. The world around him is structured, layered, and indifferent. Power exists. So do consequences. The world does not wait for one person to grow. He thought he was escaping his life. Instead, he stepped into something far larger than he understood. In Eidolon Realms, growth is earned. Mistakes leave marks. Survival is only the beginning. Power in this world isn’t given. It’s carved out of suffering. WHAT TO EXPECT - -A survival-to-progression story with real consequences -A balance of action, mystery, training, and slice-of-life -A protagonist who grows through choices, not luck -A world that moves even when the main character sleeps -Slow-burn character relationships and development -Slow-burn romance. No harem. -No rushed arcs. When Evan trains, researches, or makes a mistake, you will see it unfold. WHAT NOT TO EXPECT- -Instant power-ups or “explosive stat gains” -Generic OP protagonist without consequences -A world that revolves around one person only -Mindless grind without emotional depth -Unrealistic power leaps that ignore cost -Cheap villain stereotypes One Chapter Daily!!

After the loss of his sister, Jones must deal with surviving the apocalypse without his last family member to comfort him.

Death was not dramatic. No prophecy. No sacrifice. No grand farewell. Just a sudden end — and then awakening. When an ordinary young man opens his eyes again, he finds himself in a ruthless cultivation world where strength dictates morality and power decides truth. Sect politics are bloodier than battlefields. Righteous heroes rise beneath heaven’s blessing. The weak are trampled without apology. But fate has not chosen him as a hero. Instead, he awakens the Villain System. A cold, calculating presence embedded in his mind. A system that rewards betrayal. A system that grants power for corruption. A system that grows stronger the more chaos he sows. Sabotage a rising genius? Reward granted. Destroy a rival’s reputation? Reward granted. Turn allies against one another? Greater reward. At first, he resists. He tells himself he is only surviving. Only adapting. Only doing what is necessary in a world that devours the naïve. But every calculated cruelty strengthens him. Every moral compromise sharpens his edge. And slowly, almost imperceptibly, survival turns into ambition. There is a Heaven-Favored Son in this world — a destined protagonist blessed with ancient inheritance, loyal companions, and righteous luck. The system whispers only one directive: Crush him. To survive, he must become what the world fears most — a villain hidden behind a mask of virtue. A strategist who smiles in public and schemes in silence. A cultivator who understands that true evil is not reckless slaughter… but patience. Yet the deeper he sinks into darkness, the more he begins to question: Is he using the system? Or is the system shaping him? In a realm where immortals are forged from ambition and blood, he will rise — not as a hero bathed in light… But as the shadow that devours it.

When I look into my heart, evil thoughts grow with every passing second. Batman’s existence is meaningless, and the hope he offers is only a temporary illusion. He exists while he lives—and vanishes the moment he dies. The actions of so-called superheroes are nothing more than clashes between supreme military power and immense wealth. They may be exceptional, but mediocrity is the true majority. When ordinary kindness is endlessly humiliated and exploited, why should you or I restrain the fire burning within us? Let Gotham burn to ashes. You think death can stop me? You dumb fuck. ____ If you want to read in advance, check out my Patreon: Search for “Zphyr” or use this link: Patreon.com/Zphyr
