antihero

Growing up in the slums of the Citadel, Syn expected nothing from fate but an early death in the shadow of the Wastelands. Yet not even he could have imagined being marked by the Abyss Brand and becoming one of the Resonators, the Empire's elite soldiers endowed with magical abilities. Cast into a brutal world of rigid ranks and lethal System Directives, he finds himself face to face with monsters born of distorted reality and other Resonators willing to do anything for power. Worse still, the unique Aspect he gained is tied to the forbidden Legacy of the ancient gods and threatens not just death, but the complete erasure of his very soul. To survive, Syn must learn to play by others' rules while forging his own.

They say heroes are born from chaos. I was born in a village set ablaze… and I saved no one. Aren is not a hero. He doesn’t seek glory or recognition. He observes. He analyzes. He survives. In a world where heroes are celebrated and the innocent are sacrificed, he has learned a simple truth: the world rewards the living, not the brave. One day, while working at the Arcane Library, Aren discovers a forbidden prophetic book. A book that foretells the future appearance of a hero destined to save the world during a devastating war. This is not a legend. It is a plan. As war approaches, Aren chooses to remain in the shadows, patient and calculating. He decides to create a precise plan: to become the shadow of the hero — the one who does not shine, but silently controls every event. But what happens when fate brings forth a kind, innocent girl destined to be a hero? For Aren, she is an opportunity. And for her… a future she never imagined. Anti-hero. Strategy. Manipulation. In a world where courage is no guarantee, survival belongs to those who play in the shadows. Two chapters per day available

'Born In Ruins' was a forgettable read. That was the only way Emir could describe the pages of the novel he had found himself reincarnated into. The young man barely knew anything, but the snippets he had recalled only caused him unending sorrow... As what awaited him was only tragedy and an early death. It was a depressing story, one that he had planned to flip on its head—all for his salvation. — In this post-apocalyptic world, monsters fought humans and cyborgs in a battle for survival on a scale greater than ever before. A world where innocence and death were a luxury, where the line between heroes and villains was razor-thin. Within its expanse, 'Ancient Clans,' 'Galactic Federations,' 'Factions', and 'Corporations' presided over colossal 'Ruins' that dwarfed the concept of life itself. Survivors of the 'Third World War' continuously dove into the 'Old World,' 'Hunting' for 'Relics' in any ruin that they could find on Earth, desperate to reclaim 'Lost' technology, to stand a fighting chance against the inevitable. But it appeared that 'Earthkind' had met their match. …However, Emir would never allow that fate to take its course. — Emir unraveled layers of the tale and realized the truth of the world. He acquainted himself with the rules of this game before it fully consumed him. And now... no longer content with mere survival, he sought to dominate over the very fabric of this unforgiving universe. Emir shall rise from the pawn he once was, seeking to unravel the mysteries that hounded him. The boundaries of 'Aether,' his father’s disappearance, the noose hanging above his family’s head, and of course… his starless destiny, a fate he longed to control. This pursuit would earn him the epithet: "Prince Of The Fallen." ---------------------------------------------- *Tags: Reincarnation ;), Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Magical Realism, Academy (Volume 3), Romance, Apocalypse, {Anti-Hero.

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.

**WARNING** CONTAINS SCENES OF EXTREME PHYSICAL VIOLENCE AND SEVERE DISTRESSING PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA● My tears fell in silence, without even daring to sob… until his tall shadow fell across the threshold. He stepped inside. Slowly. Heavily. His eyes… locked onto mine. The same eyes people said carried the scent of blood, burdened with a dark and haunted past. I was afraid of him… everyone was afraid of him. And yet, I was certain that behind that predatory gaze, another truth existed. His fingers, trembling with hesitation, reached for my face. His touch was so gentle that it was hard to believe those same hands had once clenched the cold hilt of a Jiàn (剑), [a double-edged Chinese sword]. He stared into my eyes… but he did not see me. I could sense it. His gaze passed straight through me. With longing, he pulled me against his chest, as though he wished to chain my soul to his own. That was when I heard it; the fierce, thunderous beat of his heart beside my ear. My fear dissolved. I was calm. I clutched at his clothes and found stillness in the chill of his embrace... in the arms of the devil! He carried secrets too heavy for the earth to bury, and perhaps some men are better left forgotten!

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. ~~~ Schedule: 10-14 Chapters weekly Discord: https://discord.gg/tQ76KAUQfN

When the world awakened, miracles became commonplace. People gained abilities that grew stronger the more they mastered them. Fire that burned hotter, healing that defied death, strength that bent steel. Humanity celebrated its new age, blind to the cost. Signs were ignored, labelled as inexplicable anomalies. The changes were small at first — easy to ignore — but they accumulated. Amid the chaos of this new world, one person awakened to a power no one else possessed: the ability to erase awakenings entirely. What right did he have to decide who deserved their power? That question, however, was the least of Logan Morris's worries; it was the least of his plans. But would the world allow an existence like his to live quietly, or would he find a way to make it work?
