Took the Entertainment Industry by storm, Fan beg me not to kill.

Xiao He unexpectedly gained a criminal cheat skill that allows him to learn all kinds of crime-related abilities. —But the catch is, he has to keep “stabbing people” to stay alive. Xiao He: …I was a perfectly fine college student, who the h*ll wants to be a criminal?! Huh? There’s actually a loophole! By chance, Xiao He triggered a bug in the cheat skill. He figured out a way to substitute real crimes with acting performances and broke into the entertainment industry as a professional villain! He can be a refined yet depraved mu*derer, wielding a chainsaw and haunting everyone’s nightmares. He can be a heartless, despicable fugitive whose crimes are so notorious that the public wants him dead. He’s a romance scammer, a serial killer, a cold-blooded assassin… He’s actor Xiao He! —At first, Xiao He was just trying to survive by constantly taking villain roles. But unexpectedly, he rose to fame with his so-called “nonexistent acting skills” and became one of the hottest award-winning actors in the industry! Everyone in the business knows: the more people a script’s character kills, the faster Xiao He accepts the role. But outsiders say: He doesn’t look like he’s acting at all—better investigate him thoroughly! Even the fans are saying: Bro, please stop killing people! I’m seriously scared you’ll end up in jail! Yet, while the real “cancers” of the industry kept getting arrested, the one who looked most like a villain—Xiao He—kept thriving, even sweeping awards like crazy. Eventually, everyone was like: Whatever, let him stab people on screen for us. Just give him space.

Starting in Terra as Ryougi Shiki

Death came swiftly. A truck, a moment of impact, then nothing. What came after was unexpected. A god, bored and seeking entertainment, offered three wishes and a new world to explore. The choice seemed simple at the time. Ryougi Shiki's template, complete with the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception that see the end of all things. A gacha system rewarding interference with fate through random legendary weapons. And time, endless time, to grow strong enough to survive. Then came Terra. A world of mobile cities fleeing natural disasters. Of crystalline infection that grants power while slowly killing its hosts. Of conflicts between the infected and those who fear them, violence born from desperation on both sides. I arrived knowing nothing. No context, no preparation, just the ability to see death lines on everything and a tanto at my hip. The first days taught hard lessons. That strength alone means nothing without understanding. That people die easily when you know exactly where to cut. That some threats operate on scales beyond mortal comprehension. Then I met Rhodes Island. A pharmaceutical company fighting an impossible war against disease and prejudice. Operators who wielded power with purpose rather than abandon. And a mysterious Doctor who recognized what I was the moment we met. They revealed truths I hadn't considered. That Terra had changed, its timeline fractured by the arrival of others like us. That a goddess calling herself the Lion King conquered an entire nation in three days with divine authority blazing. That more entities from impossible places were appearing, each with their own agendas and power. But simple survival was never the goal. Terra bleeds. The infected suffer systemic oppression. Reunion fights with terrorism born from justified rage. Nations prepare for wars that will kill millions. And somewhere above it all, a goddess prepares continental conquest while treating mortal life as irrelevant to divine purpose. The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception show me how everything ends. Lines traced across reality itself, revealing mortality in all things. Even gods can die if you know where to cut. The question is whether I can grow strong enough, fast enough, to reach those lines before Terra drowns in violence. This is the story of an assassin learning to protect instead of kill. Of gamers coordinating impossible operations with incomplete information. Of a world caught between conflicts it understands and forces it doesn't. The god wanted entertainment. They're going to get a show they'll never forget. Because I didn't come to Terra to watch it burn. I came to see if fiction made real can be saved by someone who shouldn't exist. And I have all the time in the world to find out. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my own AU so don't be surprised if there are characters in a different place at a different time than the actual plot after all in this story, there is no real, no script. They all have their own plans. Their own goals. But in front of the God's sandbox? All is equal.

Reborn as a Doomed Villain in a Yuri Game World

[Reincarnated Villain] + [System: Merit Points] + [Game World] + [Gender Bender] + [Fallen Noble] + [Villain MC] + [Multiple Female Leads] Wensley Fauce was born with a ruined name. Mocked by nobles, despised by commoners, and publicly rejected by the crown princess he loved since childhood, his life ended in humiliation, only for him to awaken memories of another world. This world was not reality. It was a girls’ love game he once played. And Wensley was not the hero. He was the most hated villain, a disposable male character fated to lose everything, descend into madness, and die brutally. His death existing only to push the female leads toward their happy ending. Worse still, the game’s true heroine had already lived through that future once. To her, Wensley was not pitiful. He was a future threat that should never be allowed to exist. With no allies, a shattered reputation, and a destiny that demanded his execution, Wensley is forced to fight fate itself. A strange system awakens, one that measures Merit, not strength. Acts of benevolence and goodness unlocks sealed bloodlines, forgotten authority, and a truth the Church desperately buried. As Wensley struggles to survive in a world that rejects villains, despises men, and worships false narratives, an impossible path opens before him... The rebirth of a Saintess, long believed extinct. In a story that never meant to save him, Wensley Fauce will prove one thing: He was never the villain. And this time, he refuses to die for someone else’s happy ending. Small Reminder: Early chapters focus on description and worldbuilding. The pacing is slower at the start, but it picks up as the story and characters get moving.

Fated Traveler

This is a work of historical fiction. While it features real historical figures, their portrayals, dialogues, and personal lives are purely imaginative. No disrespect is intended toward the historical personas; they are cast here as actors in a fictional drama created for entertainment purposes. In ninth-century Baghdad, Aisha bint Al-Fadl, daughter of a powerful wazir, moves among the halls of her father’s palace, where opulence is matched only by strict rules and quiet family intrigues. Every gesture, every word carries weight, and missteps are noticed. Half a millennium later, in 2024 Indonesia, Ruqayyah, a teenage girl at a pesantren, navigates a life of simplicity and routine, far from wealth or politics. Her world is calm, orderly, and predictable—until it is not. Without warning, a force beyond understanding intertwines their fates: their souls are swapped, and each is thrust into a life they do not recognize. In unfamiliar bodies, they must learn new languages, customs, and expectations, all while obeying a law whose rules are strict and mysterious—one misstep could cost more than they can imagine. There is one command above all: anyone who marries in a body that is not their own brings a curse upon themselves and their descendants, everlasting and unyielding. Yet their final mission is clear: to earn the deep, true love of the men they desire. How can they accomplish this—when they are forbidden to marry? As feelings rise in worlds that are not theirs, a grim question looms: who will bear the curse, and how far will fate stretch before it snaps? Watching from the shadows, a silent presence monitors every step. Patient, exacting, and unseen, it waits for the moment when their decisions will set a destiny that cannot be undone.
