The Villain's Story

Three Souls lay in one body, One soul belonging to a man who had reached the peak, the strongest there ever was, the one who had the talent to do so. Yet he suffered because of his talent. His soul shone as bright as a galaxy once, but now is but a sun. His talents made him the envy of all. And He lost it all, tricked and manipulated from the time he was a child. The Second soul belonged to a man soon to be the richest in the world in his own universe. A man who had his face charred, a man who seemingly had every odd placed against him from the very beginning. He went against the family that abused him and triumphed over them. Yet he was left broken inside, He craved a release, and the first soul brought him that release. And he became a psychopath that scared the manifestation of evil itself. And the Third? The child born from their souls was anything but ordinary. Cursed with a fate no one wanted. Cursed with the fact that the Universe wanted him dead. He was born from Chaos And Ice and a fraction of light, yet he manipulated space. His abilities were so powerful they were harmful to his body. His talent is as infinite as the boundless cosmos. His enemies were greater than one could count. His luck is worse than shit. And yet, he continued to fight. Despite whatever was thrown at him, he would brute force through it or outsmart it, befitting the other two above. He continued to fight, not believing in the bullshit that was destiny. ---------------------------------------- Discord: https://discord.gg/Sgxw6QEsgE

Fallen Eagle [Kingdom-Building; Military Strategy]

The year is 1459. Constantinople has fallen, and the Romans are no more. Nearly fifteen hundred years after its founding, the greatest empire the world has known has ceased to exist, swallowed whole by the Great Ottoman tide. In the dying embers of the Byzantine world, its last rump states stand on the brink of collapse. Their fall will mark the end of any remnant of Roman rule. Nestled in the mountains of the Crimean Peninsula, the tiny Greek Principality of Theodoro clings to a desperate existence, living in the shadow of Byzantium's destroyers. Its fall is not a possibility; it is a historical certainty. Dr. Nikos Karagiannis is a History professor ripped across worlds into the body of Theodorus, a bookish third son in a disgraced house with a prophetic name, but little prospects. Nikos has no magic or divine blessings. What he does possess is the knowledge of the political blunders, the shifting alliances, and the military tactics that will lead this land to ruin. "The city is fallen and I am still alive." – Constantine XI Palaiologos, the last Byzantine Emperor. What to Expect: Historical Kingdom-Building: A gritty, grounded take on rebuilding a nation where logistics are king, supply lines are lifelines, and battles are won with strategy, not superpowers. A Brutally Realistic World: The protagonist is not the center of the universe. Allies and antagonists have their own ambitions and plans, and will act accordingly. Meaningful Character Arcs: A story where characters are forged and broken by the crucible of war and politics. Dramatic and tense character interplay abounds, and no one is safe. You have been warned.

The Hunted Regressor: My Heretic Saint System

Runes are the source of all power in the world, but for Ignotus, they were a death sentence. A mercenary, assassin, and leader of the desperate, he'd spent more than ten years running from a Fate forged by sheer, abysmal luck. But when the hunt finally ended, the unhinged Stranger did the impossible: He traded his life to maim the realm's three absolute rulers, leaving scars that even the Gods couldn't heal. Infuriated by the humiliation, Hora, the Queen of Time, cast an ancient spell to reverse the clock and erase his final strike. ...But her arrogance became his salvation. Ignotus regressed to the day of his Ascension, the very day he received his first Rune. This time, he wouldn't play by the rules. While others beg for Primary Elements like Fire or Water, he deliberately chooses the Element the realm deems the weakest of all, knowing its true, terrifying potential. Armed with the [Heretic Saint System], a set of Irregular Soul Glyphs, and knowledge of the realm's war-ridden future, Ignotus is done running. He will leave the family that abandoned him to forge a new Path—one that leads his own House into the Heavens, all to rewrite his Fated ending! But... Ding! That would've been too easy. — {HERETIC DETECTED!} [Nex, of House Death, has sensed the Soul that escaped his scythe.] [Hora, of House Time, has seen the stain left on her clock.] [???, of House Light, has witnessed the birth of a Twisted Light.] [YOU ARE BEING HUNTED.] — The hunt has resumed... an unending game of cat and mouse. Would Ignotus survive this time? Or rather... Would they be able to stop him? — {Author Of Misunderstood Villain} {Alternative Title: Father Of Luck & Calamity} [Status] {Volume One, Break The World: Completed} {Volume Two, House Of Strangers: Completed} {Volume Three, Demons Are Coming: Ongoing} [Disclaimer] - MC's powers are very unique. - MC gains many interesting Soul Glyphs. - Fast initial progression for MC and his Cohort.
