antihero

Some are reincarnated as the shining, pure character known as the hero of the story. Others find themselves as secondary, unknown characters, carrying no weight in the flow of events. And then there are those who are reborn as villains… villains meant to be struck down, forming the very foundation of the hero’s growth. As for me? I was neither a hero, nor an ordinary villain. I was merely a cursed soul, reborn as an experiment within an organization that worships an unknown entity. Am I just a third-rate villain? … I wished it were so. Because the truth is far worse. I am the character who appeared in the very first scene of the game, even before the hero made his entrance. I am… the Vessel. Discord: https://discord.gg/jpYJpHdMmn

"Haha, and they call you 'World's best detective', huh? A perfect crime doesn't exist? Foolishness, Batman, foolishness~" "Let me show you a perfect crime... Done countless times, heh~" In Gotham City, under the shadow of heroes and villains, a new name rises. Darren Greer, a seemingly ordinary high-school student, is secretly Kaitou Kid—a flamboyant phantom thief who steals under the spotlight, sends advance notices, and vanishes like magic.

He doesn’t steal for money. He doesn’t steal for power. What he seeks is something far more dangerous—the art of the perfect crime itself. As Gotham’s heroes begin to take him seriously, Kaitou Kid’s stage expands from museums to the entire DC world.

“Son, never sleep with a married woman.” That was my father’s final advice, right after being stabbed by a jealous husband of a married woman he slept with. I took his words to heart but fate was a bitch and I got bombed by a stupid fucker who thought I slept with his wife. Now, I’ve transmigrated into a flop fantasy novel my best friend wrote, the same one which I “improved” by butchering it into a game as a background character. Rael Von Ashborn.

What it wanted to do was to throw Rotsard into despair that would sweeten his soul, the Arch Deofol would then devour. What it didn't account for, was how spiteful the young noble was.

The world did not summon him. The heavens did not choose him. He should not exist. After dying in a plane crash, a former gamer awakens near a dungeon in an unfamiliar world—alive, alone, and bound to a strange system born not from gods, but from his own overwhelming desire to survive. With the Hunter System, he does not conquer worlds. He hunts them. Items. Powers. Concepts. Truths. As he travels across the multiverse, he grows slowly—through mistakes, losses, and choices that leave scars. Worlds begin to reject him. Fate resists his presence. He learns that interfering with destined protagonists only invites disaster, yet standing aside carries its own cost. Loved ones suffer. Hatred takes root. And still, he restrains himself. Neither hero nor villain, he walks a lonely path—hunted by worlds, watched by heavens, and followed by those who choose him despite the danger. This is the story of an anomaly the multiverse refuses to accept… and a hunter who refuses to stop.

Radeon. A cosmic emperor who devoured his own universe to cage an unknown blight, and now woke in the weak flesh of a nobody scribe named Rai. Though they had arrived in a realm that should have been the best in its cosmos, it was not. The people were muddled and backward. One could compare the time to the Middle Ages, despite the realm’s frame being in the cosmic age. As he explored further, he discovered Eldritch Horrors running rampant within the Samsara Realm, trying to replace each man and woman with their own. Names for items and tools were skewed. Nothing had standards for equipment, pills, or martial arts. Knowledge of the mundane and the complex became too hard for people to fathom, as the progress of men was hampered by what they could not see. Aware of what was happening, Radeon faced a choice. Will he cultivate just enough and escape the realm? Or will he bring salvation to the living beings of this Samsara he reincarnated into?

An OP protagonist who would rather die than use his power. Politics: A world where words are as dangerous as weapons and every move has a consequence. This doesn’t really come into play until later arcs. Calculating Protagonist: A smart, competent MC who thinks before acting and won't be easily manipulated. Character-Driven Drama: While there is a lot of action, the core of the story is the internal struggle of a man trying to outrun his own soul.
