I Reincarnated as a Third-Rate Villain in My Favorite Novel,

Lucien Vale was never meant to be important. In his previous life, he was a terminally ill otaku—weak, bedridden, and living only through the fantasy novels he loved. His death was cruelly ironic: not from cancer, but from a truck accident on his way home from the hospital. When he opens his eyes again, he finds himself reincarnated inside his favorite novel. But not as the hero. Not as the demon lord. Not even as a major antagonist. He awakens as Lucien Vale, a third-rate villain—a disposable noble whose only role was to provoke the protagonist… and die in rage as a stepping stone. This time, Lucien refuses that fate. Granted a mysterious Bonding System, he gains the ability to form deep bonds with others—replicating their talents, attributes, and potential once trust is earned. Through bonds, effort, and calculated future knowledge, Lucien begins to rewrite the story itself. At the prestigious Imperial Academy, Lucien trains among nobles, commoners, and other races—elves, dragons, vampires, and dwarves—while hiding terrifying truths: Hidden attributes like Void, Space, and Divine A cursed, evolving sword that speaks to him alone A dangerous path beyond SSS Rank As monsters rise, students vanish, and demons move in the shadows, Lucien discovers that power alone is not enough. Even SSS Rank is merely a ceiling imposed by the world. Chosen by the Goddess of Sight, Lucien is shown a forbidden route—the Path of Transcend, a brutal thirteen-step journey meant to surpass mortal limits, extend lifespan, and challenge even gods. But power has a price. The Void threatens his sanity. Bloodlines clash within his body. Gods argue over his existence. And the story he once knew begins to fracture beyond recognition. Now standing between heroes, villains, demons, and gods, Lucien must decide: Will he become humanity’s strongest protector… Or the calamity that devours everything? This is the story of a forgotten villain who refuses to be a footnote, and instead walks a path even the gods fear to follow. if you are weak hearted person, then don't read after second boss death . My novel is only comedy in starting.

Princess’s Struggle for Survival

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.

Rise Of The Relentless

In a world where power is everything, every child is born with Aether—the energy that shapes strength, status, and destiny. Everyone… except Kael Draven. Born without even a trace of Aether, Kael is branded a failure in a kingdom that worships power. Mocked by elites and ignored by society, he still dreams of the impossible: becoming the Supreme Commander of Aether, the leader of all who wield it. With nothing but relentless training, sharp instincts, and an unbreakable will, Kael refuses to surrender to fate. When the Aether Trials begin, Kael is placed into Iron Resolve, the academy’s worst and most ridiculed team—a group marked by black stars and known only for failure. Meanwhile, his childhood rival, the prodigy Rion Valeris, joins the most elite squad, earning gold stars with ease and standing at the peak Kael can only chase. Among Kael’s team is Lyra Selendis, a noble girl whose unstable Aether has made her the laughingstock of her family and peers. Forced together, resentment slowly turns into trust, and trust into something deeper, as Kael’s determination inspires his team to rise. One mission at a time, black stars are erased, gold stars are earned, and Iron Resolve begins its climb from the bottom to the top. But their growth draws dangerous attention. In the shadows, the followers of Malrik Noctis, a terrifying figure seeking to tear the kingdom apart, begin to move. As conspiracies unfold and war looms closer, Kael is forced to confront the truth hidden within himself—a power unlike Aether, a strength born not from energy, but from will. With rivals closing in, enemies rising, and the fate of the kingdom at stake, Kael must prove that leadership is not granted by power… but forged through resolve. This is the story of a powerless boy who refuses to kneel— and the legend he will carve into the world.
