I’m Trying to be a Villain, but the World Won't Let Me Die!

[999 Lives. 999 Failed retirements. 1 Final chance.] Lin Feng is a professional Villain. After transmigrating through 999 different worlds as the "arrogant young master" destined to be crushed by the protagonist, he only wants one thing: to fail his final mission so he can finally retire to a peaceful beach with a lifetime of rewards. His mission in this world? Kidnap the icy CEO, Su Qingxue, and get defeated by the legendary "God of War," Ye Chen. It was supposed to be easy. He planted "explosives" (actually cheap fireworks), "insulted" the hero (actually gave him tactical advice), and "shielded" the heroine from a sniper (wait, that wasn't in the script!). **[DING! VILLAINY FAILED SUCCESSFULLY. REPUTATION: HOLY SAINT.]** **[DING! PROTAGONIST LOYALTY: 100/100. STATUS: SWORN BROTHER.]** Lin Feng is horrified. The hero wants to die for him, and the city wants to build him a statue. But the real nightmare has just begun. Su Qingxue, the woman he was supposed to ruin, is looking at him with eyes full of a thousand years of obsession. Because she isn't just a CEO—she’s a Regressor who remembers all 999 lives where Lin Feng played her for a fool. And this time, she has her own system. **[HEROINE SYSTEM: REGRET REDEMPTION ACTIVATED.]** **[CURRENT MISSION: PREVENT THE VILLAIN FROM LEAVING. REWARD: PERMANENT BINDING.]** Lin Feng wanted to be a villain so he could go home. Instead, he’s become the "Golden Canary" of a yandere CEO and the "Revered Brother" of the world’s strongest soldier. "System! I want to be evil! I want to retire!" [SYSTEM RESPONSE: ERROR. THE HEROINE HAS ALREADY BOUGHT THE RETIREMENT BEACH. SHE IS WAITING FOR YOU THERE... WITH HANDCUFFS.]

Finding Him (BxB+)

Kalypso "Kali" Brunn was searching. He was trying to find someone he once knew well, someone he'd lost without even realizing. Kali needed the man who could wholeheartedly love himself and the company of others yet live happily, even alone. That someone wouldn't need another leading their life, completely shaping every thought he had, each action he performed, and the emotions he'd felt. He simply had to see that man's lost smile once more, a smile so true and pure, and he believed the Black Manor was the best place to look. It was the perfect home for Kali to find himself again. A peaceful, private, and honest(deceptively so) abode for him to relax and heal in. It seemingly had the most perfect conditions. The only downside of the new arrangement would be that he's yet to shake off his loneliness. He's determined to get along with his new housemates, but it's proven to be hard, especially as half of them blatantly ignore him and the other half downright hate his mere presence. But who's to say the future won't change? Perhaps his clumsy, self-deprecating ways will finally garner him some much-needed attention. Maybe they'll see just how much he needs someone to stand by him, even if he happens to claim otherwise for pride's sake... Or suppose they could continue to ignore him until he stays forever stuck in his regrettable past. Kali doesn't want to think about the 'scumbag' he ran away from or the friends that hurt him. They didn't deserve his tears any more than he deserved the emotional turmoil he'd suffered through.

Surviving Terra II: My Journey Through Catastrophes and Nobles

Terra II, a world split into vast planes, where deserts stretch ceaselessly and horrors—roamed without rest. It is a land scarred by self made nightmares that never fade. The Common Era, where the concept of happiness has been abandoned. No story begins with joy, and none end with peace. One mistake—a misplaced word, a fleeting gesture—is all that it took. Strength was never the problem. ▄▀█ █░░█▄▀ has survived long enough to know that looking strong, feeling strong, and being strong are three different lies people tell themselves to keep moving. Terra is heavy. The roads are long and boundless like the deserts ▄█ █▀░ █▄█ had walked. And family...family—that has been stripped away. Once? Twice? no, Thrice? You’ve walked. You’ve run. You’ve shot at everything. You've seen your friends perish away, your self made family rotting away, and how do you cover it? By carrying a carload of supplies. But strip it away. What is left behind? ———————— I'm pretty nervous how this version will be received and since i went for both magic and a modern setting. I'm not really good as creating things so i took inspiration from some well known media, so if it seems familiar, i tried as best i could to make it my own. but idk. Lets see, it starts to pick up the pace slowly. It's a slow born sort of thing except with no love. short ass rant, lol. Kristen out, peace.

Urban immortal Ascension

Li Tianchen, the spoiled heir to the powerful Tianchen Group, lives a life of unchecked luxury, arrogance, and indulgence, believing wealth and status make him untouchable. One night, his casual humiliation of a quiet stranger in a bar sets in motion consequences far beyond his comprehension. Without threats or warnings, his family’s vast business empire begins to collapse—contracts vanish, assets are frozen, and long-standing allies abandon them. The downfall escalates into tragedy when masked assailants massacre his family. Li Tianchen survives only to witness his mother die protecting him, leaving him stripped of everything he once relied upon: power, money, and identity. Abandoned by friends and society, he wanders the streets as a broken man, haunted by guilt and loss. In despair and hatred, Li Tianchen forges a vow in his final days: if given another life, he will return to repay every wrong and seize true power—power that no wealth can buy. Death does not bring oblivion. Instead, his unyielding will draws the attention of a vast, indifferent force beyond life and death. Faced with the truth of his past arrogance and the promise of a crueler but greater path, Li Tianchen accepts the price without hesitation. The universe, vast and indifferent, seemed to pause. Somewhere beyond the veil of life and death, fate noted his determination. The scales of destiny, once tipped by arrogance, now waited for a force forged in suffering. Li Tianchen’s story, it seemed, was far from over and though the night was endless, the fire in his heart promised one thing: revenge, inevitable and absolute. One day, in a world that would tremble at his return, Li Tianchen would rise again—not as a naive heir, but as a force capable of rewriting destiny itself

Lagacy Of The Broken Throne

Long ago, the world was shaped by a throne that no mortal should have touched. Forged by gods and bound with time itself, the Eternal Throne granted its ruler impossible power—strength beyond limits, command over fate, and the right to rewrite history. But the throne demanded obedience, not balance. When the last king refused to kneel, the throne shattered, tearing the world apart. The gods disappeared. The empire collapsed. And the truth was buried beneath centuries of lies. The throne was forgotten. But its legacy endured. In the present age, the world is divided among fragile kingdoms, secret orders, and ancient ruins filled with forbidden technology. Beneath the illusion of peace, the remnants of the throne begin to awaken—ruins glow, time fractures, and powers long sealed start to return. Kael, a warrior raised by a hidden brotherhood that operates from the shadows, is sent on a mission to recover an ancient relic. What should have been a simple infiltration turns into the awakening of the Broken Throne itself. Marked by its power and bound to a living blade of divine fire, Kael gains abilities no human should possess—enhanced speed, shadow-walking, and the power to bend moments of time. With the throne awakening, Kael becomes the target of every major faction: The Veiled Creed, who believe the throne must remain sealed forever The Crowned Lords, kings who seek to ascend beyond mortality The Keepers of Time, who manipulate history from the shadows And the Fallen Gods, who whisper from ancient ruins, promising salvation… or ruin Each step of Kael’s journey is a mission—raiding lost temples, climbing fallen cities, fighting corrupted champions, uncovering secrets hidden from history. With every victory, his power grows, but so does the throne’s influence. As the path to the throne opens, Kael must choose: destroy the legacy and free the world from the cycle of gods and kings, or claim the throne and become something more than human. Because the Broken Throne is not just waiting for a ruler. It is waiting for someone strong enough to survive it. Genre: Epic Fantasy | Action Adventure | Game-Inspired Fiction Core Experience A story that reads like a game—missions, powers, boss fights, and choices—where every chapter feels like a level and every arc brings Kael closer to the throne.
