Crimson Sovereign: Reborn as the Villain

**What happens when you're reincarnated into your own novel... as the villain destined to die?** After writing a popular fantasy web novel, an author suddenly finds himself reborn as **Anthonio Crimsonhart** – the arrogant, talentless noble he created to be killed off by the protagonist in chapter 35. Worse yet, he awakens at age 16, right after the humiliating Awakening Ceremony that branded him as having "Broken Veins (Rank F)" – essentially worthless in a world where power is everything. Exiled by his prestigious family to a remote mountain pavilion and stripped of his funds, Anthonio seems destined for obscurity and eventual death. But he possesses one overwhelming advantage: **he knows everything**. Every hidden treasure, every secret technique, every character's weakness, and most importantly – the location of artifacts that can awaken powers beyond imagination. In his own novel, Anthonio had created the **Primordial Red Lightning** – an EX-Rank power surpassing even the protagonist's three SSS-Rank Divine Essences. He had written it as a weapon for a final boss that would never appear. Now, with two years before the original story begins, he will claim that power for himself. But Anthonio doesn't just want to survive. He wants to **dominate**. Armed with knowledge of future events and accompanied by Selene – his mysteriously loyal servant who hides her true strength as a Transcendence 5-Star cultivator – Anthonio embarks on a ruthless path to power. He will steal every opportunity meant for the protagonist. He will claim every legendary artifact before anyone knows they exist. He will seduce all ten heroines destined to fall for the hero. **Kael Stormborn** – the arrogant genius protagonist with three SSS-Rank abilities (Blade of the Void, Eye of Destiny, Dragon Heart) – is the son of a duke and a prostitute. In the original story, he kills Anthonio for insulting his mother. But now, Anthonio knows every step of Kael's journey, every moment of his growth, every secret of his power. The game has changed. The author has become the character. And this villain has no intention of following the script. Through two years of brutal training, secret cultivation, and strategic maneuvering, Anthonio transforms from a worthless F-Rank embarrassment into a Sovereign 7-Star monster – a level that should be impossible for his age. When he finally enters the Royal Aethermoor Academy alongside the protagonist, he won't be the arrogant fool who dies in chapter 35. He'll be the nightmare that Kael Stormborn never saw coming. --- ## Key Elements **Genre:** Dark Fantasy, Isekai, Academy, Cultivation, Harem **Themes:** - Villain Protagonist - Reincarnation into Own Novel - Stealing the Protagonist's Opportunities - From Trash to Overpowered - Strategic Manipulation - Reverse Harem Conquest - Hidden Power Growth **Power System:** Essence Veins (F to EX Rank) and Cultivation Stages (Awakening → Consolidation → Manifestation → Transcendence → Sovereign → Emperor → God) **Main Character:** Anthonio Crimsonhart - Cold, calculating, and ruthless. Uses his meta-knowledge to become the ultimate predator in his own created world. **The Ultimate Question:** When the creator becomes the villain of his own story, can the hero he designed still defeat him? Or will Anthonio rewrite the ending entirely?

Arcane: Thicker Than Blood

Piltover and Zaun are two cities separated by a single bridge - ironically called the Bridge of Progress. Above, Piltover shines as the City of Progress, filled with dazzling lights and prosperity. Below, Zaun suffers as an industrial undercity, poisoned by toxic waste and chemical fumes from above. And in the toxic Undercity, where children play in chemically-tainted puddles and industrial waste poisons the air, Cipher works tirelessly to transform his home's suffering into strength. Armed with his [Ready Player One] ability to adapt technologies and skills from different dimensions - particularly from the Apex world - he channels this knowledge into innovations that promise to turn Zaun's poisoned air into valuable resources, offering both jobs and hope to thousands of desperate citizens. But Zaun's transformation is as much about family as it is about progress. Caught between Vander's traditional values and Silco's ruthless vision for change, Cipher navigates complex loyalties that run thicker than blood. While Silco offers power through his newly developed drug Shimmer, and Vander fights to maintain stability, their conflict forces Cipher to choose between different visions of progress - and different definitions of family. ---------- ---------- I don't own Arcane. Kudos to Riot Games.

GOD-LEVEL STATS

In a world where every person is born with a unique skill, the ultimate goal is to nurture that skill until they attain God-level power. ​Characters are officially ranked from weakest to strongest using the following hierarchy: ​Level D ​Level C ​Level B ​Level A ​Level S ​Legendary ​Every individual begins at Level D from birth and gradually climbs upwards. However, on extremely rare occasions, an individual can be born with Level C stats, a phenomenon so rare that only five such births have ever been recorded in history. ​The stat ranges correspond to these levels: D 10 to 90 C 100 to 990 B 1,000 to 9,999 A 10,000 to 99,000 S 99,000+ to 100,000 Those who surpass the absolute limit of their innate skill ascend to the Legendary rank. These individuals achieve the ultimate expression of their power by creating a Soul Palace—a personal realm or domain unique to their perfected skill. ​Though a Level S figure poses a significant threat to an entire planet, the power of the Legendary far eclipses this, cementing their status as true Gods. Only fourteen Legendary figures are known to exist across the world, each one said to possess the capability to destroy the universe. ​The story begins with a child named Leon. From the moment of his birth, Leon was an anomaly, possessing a stat reading that simply displayed: NULL. ​In this world, only those who own a stat reading can perceive it, or through the use of a specially designed reading machine. Every machine registered his stats as "NULL," leading the administration to conclude his power was simply too low to register. But Leon knew the truth: he was the only one who could see his genuine, baffling stats. ​Adding to the mystery, Leon could also see a woman dressed in a maid uniform. She was only visible to him—unless he specifically willed her to be seen by another. She attends to all his desires and needs, her existence a complete mystery to him. While she holds the answers to his origins, she is forbidden from revealing them. ​While everyone else is obsessed with the climb—leveling up and advancing their skill,Leon is obsessed with self-discovery. He needs to understand why he is different, why he is the only anomaly in a world built on quantifiable power. ​"Who am I, and what the hell is this stat?" Leon muttered, staring at the midnight sky from his window, the enigmatic maid standing silently behind him. ​Note to the reader: If you're into fantasy, high-stakes powers, mysterious leveling systems, and a main character unlocking a hidden destiny, this is the story for you.

System Tearstone [V1]

Centuries ago, a new kind of curse system was created to punish the 5th class god named Jiǎng Língxi—now wearing the skin of a powerful mortal Dàozǔ from the Méi Rén Sect. The curse was named System Tearstone. The curse had no form, only a red gem floating in a dark fog. Then it met a perfectly broken yet unbreakable child named Kirihito Orohana, later known as Wèi Yīlíng. The curse roamed for half an eternity, bound to the pure soul’s revenge and its own mission: to win the Violet Throne and become the 5th god itself. But cool ice always melts, today or tomorrow. The curse system itself is also cursed. So will he never fall for anyone and claim the throne? Or will he remove his own existence by destroying the curse—or by becoming the full Violet Gem once more? Welcome to System Tearstone— where soft beginnings lie, and descent is inevitable… and beautiful. Author’s Note : The beginning may feel soft—almost deceptively gentle. Please don’t be fooled. System Tearstone is my beloved monster. Written without safety, without shortcuts, carved straight from bone and breath. It is a story about devotion that scars, about gods who fail, and about choosing to feel— even when feeling hurts. If you choose to read this, you become one of my tearstones— something fragile, something precious, kept close through both tears and quiet smiles. This is not a game system. It is an emotionally cursed one. warning : System Tearstone is a dark fantasy series intended for a mature audience. It contains scenes of violence, psychological trauma, and disturbing themes.
