A land where noble blood like hers was a highly coveted delicacy. As such, she wasn’t turned away, but since the Eleazars ran no charity, Arabella was compelled to become the sole blood provider to the heir of the family in exchange for safety.

All I will say is that it won't be enacted by the ML.

Izel took a night job so she could care for her ailing grandmother. She never imagined her voice would end up speaking to gods. Every night, in front of a microphone, she interviews beings not of this world. Forgotten entities. Gods who refuse to disappear. A single mistake could cost her her life. Her boss is elegant, silent, and dangerously attractive. The world knows him as the station's owner. The underworld knows him as Mictlantecuhtli. To protect her, he awakens a winged jaguar nahual, fierce and loyal, ready to face gods if necessary… even the one who rules the shadows. Between transmissions that could kill her, inherited secrets, and feelings that shouldn't exist, Izel is caught between eternal love and a savage protective instinct, trying to maintain a normal life while her heart begins to choose. Because when a god hears your voice… there's no escape.

If she was that worked up from the man without even seeing his face. Then when they finally did see each other, sparks would fly. There was nothing for it. They had to get a room and get naked with a quickness. Eyes half-lidded Haley slowed her movements, and the man matched her. When he felt her begin to turn, his grip around her waist loosened. She could tell by the slight tremble of his fingers against her waist, that the man was also eager to know the identity of the person he had spent the better part of the night dancing with. Plastering a seductive smile on her face, Haley finally turned fully to face the man, tilting her head up so that she could see him clearly. And that was when the little fantasy that Haley had been entertaining of getting laid that night went up in flames. It took a second for her mind to process exactly who she was seeing, and she saw the moment it sank in for him as well. In an instant his arms went from being around her waist to up in the air as the man jumped back like a scalded cat. "Roth?!"

They have always been rivals and marriage won't change that. When the year is over she will simply move on with her life and be happily single...right?

Reborn into the world of Naruto. A dream come true for any fan. Gifted with a god-tier Kekkei Genkai—the legendary Ice Release. An SSS-rank start. Born as the illegitimate son of... Danzō Shimura. A one-way ticket to hell. Yes, that Danzō. The Darkness of Konoha, the Root of All Evil, and the man who collects Sharingans like trading cards. And now, he's my father. To him, I am not a son.

Throughout the shinobi world's tumultuous history, over fifty major conflicts have shaped the destiny of nations and clans alike. Victory and defeat have been the twin forces determining which ninja bloodlines rise to glory—and which fade into forgotten legend. Decades ago, the First Hokage led the Senju clan in a legendary three-pronged assault that united the Land of Fire and brought the great hidden villages of Stone, Sand, and Cloud to their knees. It was a golden age of conquest that established Konoha's dominance and ushered in an era of unprecedented prosperity. Thirty years have passed since the Second Great Ninja War began with such promise. I remember setting out from Konoha with nothing but standard jutsu and unwavering determination, conquering every enemy in my path. Wherever our forces advanced, civilians welcomed us as liberators. Those were days of boundless possibility, when victory seemed written in the very stars. Yet now, as the Fourth Great Ninja War looms on the horizon, whispers fill the air about Madara Uchiha's imprisonment at the Valley of the End—that cursed battlefield that has claimed so many legends. Have the fates truly conspired to make this ancient ground my final resting place? The numbers don't lie: 80,000 against 100,000. The odds favor us, and yet... **From the pre-war address of Hayama, legendary shinobi of the old guard, survivor of countless battles, and lifetime pensioner of the Konoha Elder Council** --- #What to Expect - **Epic warfare** spanning multiple ninja nations - **Political intrigue** within the hidden villages - **Character-driven drama** exploring the cost of endless conflict - **Rich world-building** that expands on Naruto's established lore - **Morally complex protagonists** facing impossible choices - **Historical mysteries** that reshape our understanding of the shinobi world *New chapters released weekly.

Waking up in 1984 Hawkins in the body of the town's most notorious bully, a thirty-four-year-old transmigrator finds himself inhabiting Billy Hargrove. He has inherited Billy’s reputation, his abusive household, and a volatile new biological mutation: the ability to generate and manipulate extreme thermal energy. Knowing the horrors that are coming—the Mind Flayer, the Starcourt massacre, and his own scripted death—the new Billy chooses to pivot. Instead of a victim or a villain, he becomes a shield. By aligning with Joyce, Hopper, and the kids, he uses his "Hellfire" abilities to wage a private war against the encroaching darkness of the Upside Down. He isn't just fighting for survival; he's fighting to give Max a brother she can actually love and to ensure that this time, Billy Hargrove is the one who walks out of the fire. The Internal Combustion: The Powers Hellfire (Third Generation Pyrokinesis): The ability to generate intense flames directly from his own skin. Unlike those who control existing fire, Billy's body acts as the ignition source. The power scales with emotion and physical stress, moving from simple sparks to blue-hot infernos. Heat Immunity: A passive defensive ability that protects Billy's tissues, organs, and clothing from his own flames. This allows him to walk through fire or superheat his physical strikes without self-immolation. Thermal Regulation: Billy can sense heat signatures in his environment, allowing him to "feel" the cold, unnatural presence of the Upside Down or track creatures like the Demogorgon through walls by their lack of heat. Adrenaline Ignition: A state of "overclocking" where Billy burns through his body’s caloric reserves at an accelerated rate to gain a massive boost in physical speed and flame intensity. It is powerful but leads to extreme exhaustion and "burnout" if maintained too long.

Rocky had spent years in peace, summoning only what was needed, keeping a low profile in a quiet corner of the kingdom. The forests, mountains, and rivers were his friends; his summoned creatures, his family. Life was calm… until the day the horizon burned with the colors of an invading army. At the head of that army rode a figure that made Rocky’s heart skip a beat. The love of his life. The one person he thought he’d never see again. And yet here they were, searching… for him. The legendary summoner. The air grew heavy with tension, magic crackling faintly in response to Rocky’s rising pulse. Could love survive in a war where the battlefield was also the heart?

Most people don't choose reincarnation. Reincarnation finds their way to them. Perhaps they did something great in their life. Or maybe truck-sama wasn't looking where it was going. But without fail, those who reincarnate are destined for something great. A new life where everything changes for the better. But... Reincarnation isn't always the greatest thing. Sometimes you just draw the short end of the stick. Di Tou just happens to have drawn the shortest stick. Pulled out of his life randomly. Taken by a crazy old eccentric man not as a disciple, but as a body double?! And a janitor body double no less?! Grasping a system to find... It's a JANITOR SYSTEM!? Truly, how unlucky can one get?

In the world of high finance, there are no ties. Someone wins, and someone is destroyed. Rainier Callisten is a ghost. A mathematical prodigy hiding in the shadows of a low-level analyst job, he thought he had the perfect plan to embezzle forty-two million dollars—enough to save his dying sister and disappear forever. He accounted for every variable, every firewall, and every security protocol. Except one: Devillione Vilgoughvrum Devillione is the cold, predatory CEO of Vilgoughvrum Financial, a man who views the world as a balance sheet and humans as mere assets to be traded. He didn't turn Rainier over to the police. Instead, he did something far more terrifying. He bought him. Trapped in a "Zero-Sum" contract, Rainier is stripped of his identity and forced to live in Devillione’s penthouse as a private asset. The rules are simple: Survive one year of Devillione’s psychological games without breaking, and walk away with a fortune. Fail, and he belongs to the CEO—body, soul, and brilliant mind—for the rest of his life. As the lines between hatred and obsession blur, Rainier realizes that Devillione isn’t just playing for money. He’s playing for total possession. In a game where the house always wins, Rainier must decide if he’s willing to lose his heart to save his life—or if he’ll become the first person to ever make the devil go bankrupt.

"I'm here to decorate! What are you doing!" Kaisen looked at the weirdo who suddenly appeared in his workplace and tried to attack his personal safety with a strange wooden stick, and scolded him by saying something like magic and keeping secrets. He also used the obsidian block that suddenly appeared in his hand to instantly release a huge obsidian pillar for defense. "Bold! You still say you don't know magic!" —————— Traveling through the world of Harry Potter, he also got the block gold finger in the game [My World]. Just when he knocked out the weirdo who suddenly came and went crazy and was about to make a name for himself in the decoration industry, he saw the white-bearded old man in front of him. "What do you mean... hire me to be the alchemy professor of Hogwarts?" Also, what is alchemy? In the first year of coming to Hogwarts, he carefully disguised himself as an alchemy professor with some basic blocks. In the third year of coming to Hogwarts, he gradually got better and fought against the Dementors with withering.

In the Chaos City of Nolan Continent, there's a peculiar restaurant. Here, elves have to share tables with dwarves, orcs are strictly forbidden from making noise, dragons can only sit around the small square in front of the restaurant, and demons even need to bring their own special stools... Yet, despite these bizarre rules, a long line forms outside the restaurant every day. Elves eat skewers without regard for etiquette, dragons huddle around a hotpot with ladles in hand, and demons munch on adorable dumplings... "The food here is unlike anything else on the continent! This owner is a genius!" one customer commented, then secretly glanced towards the entrance: "And, whatever you do, don't even think about kidnapping the owner or trying to dine and dash, or you'll die a horrible death." "Eat and pay, or I'll kill you all." a cute little girl said in a sweet, childish voice, her gaze falling on a nearby dragon, causing the five or six meter tall dragon to shiver.

I’d been reading a Webnovel called The Dance of Power. It wasn’t a blockbuster hit, but it had a devoted fanbase — and the worldbuilding was interesting enough to keep me hooked. Flawed, sure, but filled with potential. Its biggest draw was its gimmick: An interactive system that lets readers submit their own character sheets to be added to the story. Naturally, I made one. Naturally… it got rejected. “Not unique enough.” “Doesn’t fit the plot.” “Try again next event.” I shrugged it off. It was just a character, after all. At least, until I opened my eyes — and found myself inside the world of The Dance of Power, inhabiting the very same character the author had turned down. A character who wasn’t meant to exist. A character with no place in the story. A flaw in the narrative. And in a universe built on power, politics, and brutal hierarchy… Being a mistake is the most dangerous thing you can be.

I was just an ordinary student in the University’s Hunter Department. Even at twenty-one, I still hadn’t awakened any special powers, and everyone knew it. Frustrated and desperate, I spent countless nights dreaming about finally unlocking my hidden potential. One lazy morning, I lay in bed dreading another day of ridicule when a strange surge of excitement hit me out of nowhere. Without warning, I awakened a bizarre but thrilling power called “Pleasure World.” My smartphone buzzed, and a mysterious app appeared on the screen. Curious, I tapped it open. In an instant, I discovered abilities I never imagined, like using points to enhance my body or entering worlds pulled straight from adult videos. Determined to test it, I dove headfirst into the explicit world of JAV, a video I had secretly watched only days ago. Life was finally about to get exciting. _________ more chapter pat****/MasterStroke89

**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?

He was never supposed to exist. Not in the story. Not in the world. Not in fate. Yet, he awakens inside a mysterious fantasy world governed by a powerful system—one that controls life, death, and destiny itself.

With enemies rising, worlds collapsing, and secrets buried deep within the system, he must fight to survive, grow stronger, and discover the truth behind his existence. Each battle unlocks new powers, but also new dangers. Every choice he makes changes the story—because the story was never meant to include him. In a world where destiny is already decided, can an unwritten cha

Ten years ago, mana descended upon Earth in the form of Gates that opened into other worlds.

When the latest blockbuster, The Deficient Piece, inexplicably comes to life, the boundary between fiction and reality collapses. Bun Chokan, a home-loving man on the bangs of society, finds himself plunged into a ruthless universe governed by deadly riddles.

Prologue “Clytector Euryale — he was the highest-ranking noble to ever live, more than 5,000 years ago (around 3300–3000 BC). They say he never once revealed his beast form. But people from the past claimed he had more than two arms. His true form remains a mystery to this day. His power was unmatched — even the king at that time couldn’t compare to his strength.” “But sir, if he was so powerful, how did he die? The king from 5,000 years ago is still alive, so why did someone stronger than the king die?” “Well,” the teacher sighed. “Did you even listen to the history I’ve taught up here? No? I figured — you were probably asleep again. Protector Euryale was the savior of our planet, Clytemnestra — the very world we now call home. When a massive nebula attacked our kingdom, Euryale sacrificed himself. His body was turned to ash by the force of the impact.” The classroom fell silent. Everyone knew who Protector Euryale was. His statue stood at the heart of the kingdom — a monument to show all, from within and beyond the realm, the man who saved them all. The strongest man to ever live.

In a world ruled by spirit arts and false gods, Kael Ravenshade awakens from a seven-year coma carrying the buried weight of countless past lives. He does not remember them clearly, but they shape every instinct he has. Love comes first. Tragedy follows immediately. On the night meant to seal his future with Alisa Silverwindcrest, Kael’s father is murdered for a spirit core he never knew he possessed. The killer is Alisa’s own father, a man driven mad by grief, believing power could resurrect the dead. Life proves otherwise. Death remains absolute. As the city of Oakhaven rots under corruption and fear, monstrous beings known as Noxlurs descend, devouring spirit cores and turning humans into hollow predators. Kael responds not with heroism, but control. He creates Chariot House, a secret organization that exists only in dreams, where members see nothing but shadows and a false sun burning at the center of a long table. There, Kael takes the name Kryris and manipulates powerful individuals into killing without knowing whom they strike. Morality erodes. Blood spreads quietly. The cost is unbearable. Alisa, hypnotized and weaponized, is sent to kill. Her target is Kael’s sister Zara. Kael intervenes too late. On the moon itself, love and violence collide. Alisa dies by Kael’s hand, asking only to be his bride in another life. That moment fractures Kael beyond repair. He abandons the city and travels to Tianzhu, the land of gods, not seeking salvation but understanding. There, Kael learns the truth of the world. The Seven Deadly Sins are not monsters born of hell, but humans living ordinary lives, unknowingly bound to cosmic roles. One by one, Kael breaks their lives apart with precision, forcing their awakenings and bending them to his will. Strategy replaces mercy. Destiny becomes a tool. Meanwhile, Oakhaven collapses. Noxlurs return. Illusions consume reality. Finn, Kael’s closest ally, loses everything. His grief awakens something ancient. He becomes Thalaris, a godlike force tied to destruction and protection alike. Zara, unaware of her nature, begins dreaming of thrones and sins. She is Vanitas, the God of Evilness, commanding horrors without knowing she truly exists as one. The truth finally surfaces. Kael and Finn are not merely friends. They are twins reborn across eras. In the distant past, they discovered spirit arts together. Humanity prospered. Other nations invaded. Finn became the monster history remembers, creating Noxlurs to purge corruption. Kael became something worse, spreading extinction through silent viruses, ending worlds before killing himself. Over and over. Life after life. Memory fading each time. Above them all stands God, not a savior, but a warden. Humanity, empowered by spirit arts, is destroying nature and nearing divinity. God intends to erase them entirely. Every tragedy, every sin, every rebirth was engineered to justify that end. Kael and Finn rebel. They fail. God is untouchable. So Kael chooses the only remaining path. He seals Finn, erases spirit arts, annihilates Noxlurs, and breaks the divine justification for genocide. Humanity is saved not by victory, but by limitation. Centuries later, in the year 2025, the world is quiet. A park holds an ancient sword. Kael and Alisa, reborn, walk together at last. Finn, with his family, lives peacefully. Zara laughs as a child, free of thrones and sins. The sword remains, containing what once nearly destroyed existence. God’s creation was extraordinary. Humanity survived it.

Reborn as Kaigaku in Kimetsu no Yaiba, am I doomed to walk the same cursed path? To betray the Demon Slayer Corps? To kill my own master? No. Never again. Muzan, that vile so-called “lord,” brings nothing but ruin to those who serve him. So I cast away the name Kaigaku. Under the name Horitake and guided by the system, I chose a completely different life. And as for the root of all tragedy, Kibutsuji Muzan… I will slice you into pieces, hang you to dry, and leave you swaying in the sun until you rot into nothing but bacon. ------------------------- If you’d like to support my work, check out my: patreon.com/DaoistRoeoNQ
