Regressive And The Blind

Though it may be a dream weathered, crumpled, fading, I held on without surrender. Through each repeated day, running toward tomorrow’s light, I became a knight, resolute and bright.

Over ten years ago, a Bitcoin was priced at $0.008. Today, it is priced at nearly $100,000! It is a fantasy we've all played in our heads. What if we could go back with all the knowledge we have now and invest in some Bitcoins, perhaps in many Bitcoins? Well this is your chance to live that fantasy through Darren Steele, our MC who suffers a soul shattering betrayal in the hands of his girlfriend and her millionaire father. After a sudden death, he regresses ten years to the past with all his knowledge retained and with the Investor System to guide him. [Ding!] [Weekly Quest: Make your first investment!] What! Darren can invest in Bitcoin?! Huh?! The price of one Bitcoin is only $0.08! Since he knows when Bitcoin is going to rise and when it will crash, does that mean he can avoid loss and only make PROFITS?! Indeed! With the Investor System, Darren Steele is going to build his way up the business world as a young investor. Bitcoin will make him a billionaire and he will defeat all his rivals and take down the companies of everyone who once treated him like trash!

Caesar was the lowest of demons—weak, scorned, and forgotten. Beaten into servitude and assigned petty tasks under the cold eye of a decadent demon court, he lived a life of humiliation at the very bottom of the Demon Lord’s domain. When the capital burns and the Demon King falls to the Hero’s blade, Caesar expects to die unnoticed. But fate intervenes.

SLASH! (So this is death?!!) I, Elysia, found myself dead before even reaching the Demon King's lair, and our Hero Party was completely annihilated. And this was done by none other than a fellow human—my former classmate. He had been mostly invisible during our time at the academy, but then he started committing one crime after another until he became a lackey of the Demon King. Who would have thought that the strongest party of humanity would be wiped out by humanity’s traitors? (If I could go back to the past, I swear I will kill you!) Just when I thought I could finally pass on, I opened my eyes. Five years back, when I first enrolled at Arcadia Academy. And there he was, the traitorous bastard of humanity... **** “Huh? Where am I?” One day, I opened my eyes to find myself in an unfamiliar place and came to realize this was the world within the novel Savior's Dawn that I had read. Everything seemed to be proceeding the same as in the novel—except for one thing. The main heroine is glaring at me as though she wants to kill me. Could I survive with the main heroine after my life?

I did nothing with my entire life. Literally nothing. Then I died — not saving a cat from a tree heroically, not even struck by Truck-kun — but of a heart attack caused by a BL manga confession scene. Pitiful? Perhaps. When I begged for a second chance, the gods listened. Or at least, they jeered at me. Instead of returning as a mighty sorcerer or a spoiled heiress, I found myself as a young woman with awful vision in some obscure nobleman's manor house. My eyesight is so poor I can hardly recognize faces. I trip, blink, and consistently confuse people with chairs (and vice versa). But here's the kicker: I've been reborn as the young stepmother of a future villainess — a child who will grow up to be the "evil empress" in a bestselling romance novel that I used to detest. And so, with only my half-working eyes, shreds of memory, and sheer obstinacy, I'm going to do something — anything — other than waste this life. Whether that is steering my evil stepdaughter, making it through treacherous noble schemes, or just learning how to walk straight without crashing into a wall. I've got my chance now. And this time, I won't let it slide through my fuzzy fingers.

Villain System: Activated > Alignment: Chaotic Evil Objective: Obey the plot, serve the empire, die like a good villain. Yeah, no thanks. I woke up as Dorian Valen—sadistic noble, arsonist, war criminal, mid-tier villain with a face everyone wants to stab. The story wants me to beg for my life, cough up secrets, and die at sunrise so the hero can get a shiny new power-up. Been there, read that. But I'm not here to follow the script. I'm here to flip the table. I’ll expose the cracks in the empire, dismantle the hero’s halo, weaponize every trope, and corrupt the system that tried to cage me. And if I have to burn the world down to do it? Well… I’ve got the villain system. Might as well make it earn its name.

Junior was born with a congenital neurological disorder, causing him to lose his sight before his first birthday. This fact changed the course of his life and tore his family apart. Somehow, his condition has also rewired the parts of his brain related to hearing. The unique way he experiences sound is sometimes more a curse than a blessing, but it does inspire him with a passion for music. Just as Junior’s life starts to feel like it’s maybe not so bad . . . well, the apocalypse happens. But in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

They stole his future. Now, he’s rewriting reality. Ryan was at the top—champion of the world’s biggest VRMMO, but one wish changed everything. “I wish I could start over.” The Orb of Wishes granted it. Literally. Time snapped backward. The world unraveled. And Ryan woke up years in the past, holding his younger sisters close in a rotting apartment, broke and desperate. This time, he’s not starting from scratch. He remembers it all. Every hidden boss. Every bugged quest. Every game-breaking secret. While the world waits for the launch of Kingdom Forge, Ryan prepares to tear through it like a storm. But when he logs in, something glitches. His old character is locked. His class is reset. His power? Supposedly gone. Then the system flashes something strange: [Access Granted: Legacy Bank Synced] [Warning: You were never meant to exist.] Ryan grins. He doesn’t need a strong class. He doesn’t need fair odds. He has what nobody else does—endgame knowledge in a beginner’s world, and an account holding gear, gold, and exploits that broke the game once before. He’s done being a pawn. This time, he’ll become the glitch the system can’t contain.

Throughout history, Humans have strived for greatness, not only in name but in deeds as well, and many failed to achieve it.  It was no different in a Land of Dragons, Mythical beings, Knights, Mages, Demi-humans, and demonic beings. But their greatness came in a different form, a concept known as POWER.  The power to conquer, to build, to control, to protect, and to love.  Raffaelo Jun was a man born with a silver spoon, yet his sheltered upbringing prevented him from becoming the man he was meant to be.  He was unable to achieve the greatness of the prestigious family of the Jun household and became a sight of ridicule.  He was used for a while until he wasn't, then discarded and killed for being a threat to the throne, but Fate had other plans.  Reborn as a child, he starts over as the sole son of the Jun household, his actions brimming with intent.  He had one goal: attain the power that he once ignored and stand on the precipice of human existence, to protect all that are dear to him.  Note: It starts slowly until recent chapters. Interesting side characters, power systems, techniques, and a mixture of variety with the right blend.

**Content warning: Language discretion advised** I died a useless death. I was tortured all the days I lived then after my role as a scapegoat was finished I was put to death. Only at death did I feel hatred. I was angry not only at the bastards that killed me but also at myself for being meek. I wanted to fight back but I was too scared. I should have been brave and stood up for myself. This is a lesson I will never forget. Regressing was the unexpected answer I received. Whether it be a gift or misfortune, watch me use it to the fullest. At each checkpoint, I will only grow stronger, more determined. Revenge is much sweeter than honey after all. I will not forget the past but use it to my advantage. I will be the one to shape my fate and take my life back. I will never be scared again.

On the day of her wedding, Ivy Quinn vanishes, leaving behind only a note: "I’m sorry, I can't marry a blind man." To protect her son from heartbreak, Elizabeth Winters strikes a desperate deal—Ruby, Ivy’s identical twin, must take her sister’s place at the altar. Trapped by duty and family pressure, Ruby agrees, believing it will only last until Stefan’s eyesight is restored. But from the moment they marry, Stefan senses something is different about his "wife." The woman beside him is nothing like the shallow fiancée he once knew. She’s sharp, resilient, and understands his business in a way Ivy never did. Against all odds, he falls harder than ever for this new version of her. And Ruby? She never expected to fall in love with a man who was never meant to be hers. But just when she finds the courage to tell him the truth, Ivy returns, ready to reclaim the life she abandoned. When Stefan finally opens his eyes, will he see the woman who truly stood by him—or will he be too blind to recognize real love? ****Excerpt**** “By the way, did Ruby come to the wedding?” he asked, catching her off guard since she hadn't expected him to ask her that all of a sudden. Was he already suspecting that it was her and not Ivy? Ruby’s fingers froze on the door handle for just a fraction of a second. It was enough to set off alarms in Stefan's head. “I—uh…” She hesitated, but only briefly. “No. She had work. She couldn’t make it.” Was he suspecting a switch already? What must have set off the alarm in his head? Stefan hummed, tilting his head slightly. “Oh, I see. How is she, then? I hope she's coming to visit one of these days?” Her fingers tightened on the handle, though her voice remained steady. “Yeah. She would, the moment she is chanced and can come.” A slow smirk tugged at the corner of Stefan’s lips, though he kept his expression neutral. Interesting. Very interesting. His wife had just lied to him and he didn't know why. Even though he was blind, he'd find out why soon enough.

Though it may be a dream weathered, crumpled, fading, I held on without surrender. Through each repeated day, running toward tomorrow’s light, I became a knight, resolute and bright.

[Warning: Contains Mature Content] "Beware of the tongue of a wicked woman. For it may tell a lie that would slay the world." Eighteen-Year-old rejected, wolfless and blind Zina is summoned to the capital to tell a vision for the ruthless and feared Alpha King of the North notoriously known as ‘The King Who Crowned Himself’. The result of Zina’s ‘false’ vision has the Alpha Prince and future Alpha Supreme, Daemon, banished from the capital to fight wars at the borders where only death awaits him in the hands of the famed Arising Rogues, and the even more famed Deformed. But Daemon survives fire, blood and claw, and not only does he survive, but six years later, he is back as Alpha Supreme, driven by vengeance against those who brought him down. Starting from his cunny siblings, to the eighteen-year old girl now twenty-four who spelt his destiny with just mere words, Daemon vows to leave no one unscathed. However Zina is well aware of her own treachery. Now the Theta to the same powerful werewolf house she told the dangerous lie against, and having tasted the bitter pill of betrayal from the very people she told the dangerous lie for, she is unwilling to resign to her fate just yet. But how do you melt the heart of a man that you once ruined? And how do you destroy a woman loved by all the common people, and perhaps, even the gods? Daemon will learn the hard way that not all vengeance can be taken, and not all debts can be collected. Secrets abound, the Deformed Werewolves are set to rise, and a rare chance at second mating befalls the two most unusual people. And now, one thing has become for sure—Daemon must first defeat the enemy outside, before he can truly confront her, who has become the enemy of his heart. **** Zina's back pressed against the wall as a taut body pinned her, their warmth mingling together. Four years of deadly anticipation had culminated into that very moment. His whispers caressed her ear, sending shivers that had nothing to do with the chill in the air down her spine. “Since you see visions so well, tell me Theta of my house, do you see the day you will die?” His breath ghosted over her skin, reminding her of a debt to be collected. Swallowing and maintaining a tight grip on her staff despite the body that burned against hers, she answered firmly. “I am afraid the gods haven’t shown me yet.” The man over her smiled shrewdly. His lips grazed her ear, his hot breath sending waves of sensation. “I believe in all of the names I have been called, one of them is god. So let me tell you that which you do not know… “…today is the day you will die.”

Victor Drake was a 23-year-old kendo prodigy with a dream: to become the greatest swordsman of the modern era. Kind, goofy, romantic, and sharp-witted, he lived and breathed the way of the blade. But everything changed during a fierce tournament when a tragic accident left him completely blind. His world went dark, but his spirit never dimmed. Relying on instinct, sound, and intuition, Victor adapted. He trained harder, sharper, deeper. Yet fate had more in store. One ordinary day, while walking the city streets, a glowing summoning circle appeared beneath his feet—and before he could react, he was gone. Transported to a grand cathedral in another world, Victor found himself surrounded by high school students and nobles. A beautiful queen stood before them, summoning heroes to battle a rising Demon Lord. But there had been a mistake—Victor wasn’t supposed to be there. He wasn’t a chosen hero. And yet, when a mysterious ding echoed in his mind, a screen appeared before his blinded eyes: Class: Blind Swordsman With no way back and no destiny to follow, Victor carves his own path. His new power lets him “see” the world through sound and motion, sharpening his already deadly swordsmanship to supernatural levels. Determined to chase his dream even in this new world, Victor sets off—not as a hero, but as the Blind Swordsman. His journey begins: exploring dungeons, joining adventurer guilds, fighting monsters, saving villages, befriending gods and demons alike, and facing off against the greatest swordmasters the world has to offer. Along the way, he gathers a diverse—and chaotic—harem of swordswomen, slaves, nobles, and goddesses who fall for his strength, charm, and sheer will. Victor is no saint. He’s a romantic antihero, a sneaky battle junkie with a heart, a sharp tongue, and a blade sharper still. He gets caught in political intrigue, divine conspiracies, and misunderstandings that somehow lead to royal marriages. But no matter what happens, he lives—and fights—by his own code. He wasn’t meant to be a hero. He just wants to become a legend. They may call him blind, but history will remember the name: Victor Drake — the Greatest Swordsman the World Has Ever Known.

When fate led him to a dying being deep within the forest, Soren accepted a gift he never asked for—a True Demon Eye, said to be born from ancient chaos itself. Now, behind his ever-closed lids, one eye glows with forbidden power.
