If you are looking for a “goody two shoes” protagonist with a hero complex, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. This is an extremely fast paced novel , and the protagonist of this novel is someone who becomes absurdly overpowered. He is also not the usual person who makes decisions that fit the hero complex genre. the villian and antihero tags are not for show. Note for Readers(Please do not skip this): 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, each adding a unique blend to his path. I included the shadow affinity as a nod to some of my favorite novels, but this is not a copy. The journey, characters, and world are entirely my own.

Xavier Crownheart’s world collapsed the night he returned home and found both his parents hanging—cold, lifeless. The authorities dismissed it as a tragic double suicide. His little sister accepted the official report. But Xavier refused. His mother—who taught him to face hardship without bending—would never take her own life. He knew the truth: it was murder. And he knew exactly who did it. The Markrthor family, one of the wealthiest landowners in the country, had been pressuring his parents to sell their ancestral land. When they refused, the threats began—and then came the “accident.” Before Xavier could report his findings, the Markthor's struck first. He was framed, arrested, and sentenced for crimes he had never committed. While the real killers lived in luxury, Xavier rotted in a cell, powerless and forgotten. But fate had other plans. The day the Infinite Record descended upon Earth, everything changed. Mana flooded the world, evolution began, and terror descended upon humanity. And in that chaos, Xavier awakened a power unlike any other: Instant Death. The ability that had the potential to kill anything—anyone—with a single thought. For the first time in his life, Xavier didn’t feel helpless.

Imagine waking up as the villain in your sister's cheesy fantasy novel. Yeah, not ideal, especially when that villain is destined for hatred, and a grim end in some forgotten dungeon. That's Astrid's new reality. Her old life? Gone. Her new mission? Survive. And step one means throwing the original script out the window. But changing fate is way harder than it sounds. In a desperate move, Astrid makes the story's heroine, Lyra, her personal maid. Clever, right? Except teaching Lyra magic and treating her like, well, a person, backfires spectacularly. Lyra's gratitude twists into something intense, dark, and possessive. And she's not the only one. Astrid tries mending fences with her powerful aunt, only to find herself smothered by a love that feels dangerously close to madness. Even her ambitious half-sister, originally her rival, gets weirdly attached after Astrid shows her a bit of warmth and helps her gain power using some modern-world smarts. Astrid thought she was being clever, building alliances, creating intelligence networks, rewriting roles. She is changing the story, but it's warping everyone around her. Their loyalty? It's becoming obsession. Their affection? A dangerous fixation. Now, Astrid isn't just fighting the plot. She's drowning in a mess of her own making – caught between people who crave her, tangled in lies and affections twisted way out of shape. Everyone wants her, and sharing isn't remotely on their agenda.

In a world under siege by extradimensional horrors, power is the only currency that matters. For sixteen-year-old Ark Greystone, a "Null" born completely powerless in a generation of gods, life is a constant reminder of his worthlessness. Orphaned, bullied, and surviving on the protection of his two powerful childhood friends, Ark’s destiny seems to be a footnote in the glorious age of Heroes. On the eve of the prestigious Hero High entrance exam—the final confirmation of his failure—Ark discovers a hidden laboratory beneath his house, a final legacy from his mysterious genius grandfather. Within this secret sanctum, a advanced supercomputer scans him, and in a torrent of agonizing data, his mind is flooded with a foreign consciousness. He awakens integrated with the ‘Assassin System.’ This enigmatic interface grants him a video game-like leveling framework, enhanced physicality, and superhuman senses. For the first time, he has power. But it comes with a deadly designation and a chilling purpose. Miraculously enrolled in Hero High, Ark must now walk a razor's edge. By day, he is the unlikeliest rookie in a school for legends, navigating classes, new friendships, and the brutal hierarchy of the super-powered. By night, the System grants him dangerous assassination quests targeting otherworldly beings and hidden threats, forcing him to level up in the shadows and embrace a colder, more efficient version of himself. As Ark uncovers the dark secrets behind the monster invasions, the true origin of the System, and the cryptic warnings left by his grandfather, he is forced to question everything. Is he becoming the hero he always dreamed of being, or is he being groomed as the perfect weapon in a war he never understood? In the gleaming halls of heroism, the greatest threat may not be the monsters at the gate, but the assassin learning to walk in the light.

After losing his divinity, Kazuki—once feared as the Wolf of Heaven—walks the New World as a demi-mortal. Alongside twelve warriors of the Old World, he becomes one of the Thirteen Unknown Gods: beings caught between eternity and fragility. Decades of seclusion turn their curiosity into fascination, and their fascination into consequence—as mortals twist the very meaning of magic they once sought to understand. To restore balance, the Thirteen founded an academy to guide mortals toward the truth of magic. Through his students, Kazuki rediscovers what it means to be human. Yet beneath the calm of this new age stirs an unseen design—a quiet symphony of chaos—and at its center, the fallen god must once again choose between destruction and salvation.

Fuck me. I was just trying to pull my favorite character from a gacha game — Trafalgar du Morgain. The legendary swordsman. The cursed heir. The tragic side story no one cared to fix. Discarded by his clan. Humiliated by his siblings. Dead by suicide before the main plot even began. Guess who woke up in his body? Yeah. Me. Now I’m stuck in a game world that had zero lore, zero guidance, and zero chance of survival — except for the broken-ass Talent I somehow unlocked. I’ll kill, steal, lie, betray—whatever it takes. If survival means blood on my hands, then so be it. I didn’t choose this world, but I’m not going to let it chew me up and spit me out. I’ll climb over corpses if I have to. I’ll become the villain, the monster, the nightmare they never saw coming. Because in this world, there’s only one rule that matters: survive or die. And I’m not dying again. ~~~ More tags: no Yuri, no NTR, transmigration, rarebloodline, no dense mc, dragons, dragon girl, dog girl, vampire, succubus, mana cultivation, cursed heir, academy setting, hidden talent, demons, death and rebirth, political intrigue, ancient bloodline, dark fantasy, family conflict. ~~~ Schedule: 2 chaps daily READ PINNED REAVIEW.

In Solmyra, a war of unfathomable forces shattered the realm itself — its aftermath rippling everywhere through the river of time, carrying with it the dying fragments of souls, mana, and wills. In a world where power is truth — where the weak serve, the strong rule, and mercy is but a myth — lives a boy named Alex. An infant found beneath the lifeless bodies of his parents, the sole survivor of a war that erased his village. But Alex had a secret he could share with no one. A nightmare — visions of ruin and despair that repeated every night without end. Until something changed, and with it, his dream shifted. Now, the dreams unveiled destinies yet to unfold — teaching him spells not yet born, and showing tales waiting to be written. Until Alex understood the truth: “These dreams are not nightmares... but a sign — and a warning of what’s to come.”

The night the sky fractured, reality cracked—and humanity barely survived. Shadows moved wrong. Dreams bled into waking life. Powers no one understood surged uncontrollably. ‎ ‎At the center of the chaos was Aiden Thorn: cold, calculating, emotionless. He seeks one thing and one thing only: perfection. Not power. Not fame. Not destiny. Perfection itself—and to surpass it. ‎ ‎Aiden isn’t a hero. He isn’t chosen. He has no plot armor. He is a predator in a world full of monsters, humans, and gods who don’t know he exists. ‎ ‎The System inside him gives no guidance. No quests. No skills. Only fragments, whispers, and impossible probabilities. Every day is a puzzle. Every step is survival. Every experiment a gamble with life and death. ‎ ‎In a world where cults rise to worship eldritch horrors, humans awaken powers beyond comprehension, and the multiverse hides secrets that can unmake existence, one boy walks a path no one should. ‎ ‎Cold. Ruthless. Unstoppable. Calculating. ‎ ‎Perfection is impossible. ‎And Aiden Thorn will prove it wrong. ‎ ‎Genre: Dark Fantasy | Psychological Horror | Cosmic Mystery | Grimdark | Antihero | Multiversal Power System ‎ ‎Tags: Ruthless MC, Psychological, Cosmic Horror, Grimdark Fantasy, Antihero, Mystery, Occult, Magic System, Multiverse
