Villain Manipulating

[WSA 2025 Entry!] I got transmigrated into a game—but not as the hero. Nope, I’m stuck as a third-rate villain, one destined to die at the hands of the protagonist. And to make things worse? I don’t even have a system to help me. Meanwhile, the hero has one that makes him nearly invincible. F*ck that. I’m not just going to roll over and die. If the game is rigged, then I’ll rewrite the rules. And maybe—No, definitely, I’ll find a way to outsmart the so-called hero who thinks he’s going to kill me. ---- No NTR | No Yuri

Ethan's head throbbed violently as he opened his eyes, his vision hazy and unfocused. A dull ringing filled his ears, drowning out his thoughts. "What’s happening…?" he thought, his mind sluggish, struggling to catch up with reality. One moment, he was asleep—or at least, he thought he was—and the next, searing pain forced him awake. His vision swam, shapes blurring together in a disorienting mess. But then, muffled noises filtered through the haze—frantic, panicked sounds. Someone was trying to scream, their voice smothered, choked by something. A cold shiver ran down his spine. As his sight gradually sharpened, Ethan's breath hitched. He was on all fours, looming over someone. A girl. Her body twisted and writhed beneath him, ropes biting into her wrists and ankles. Her mouth was gagged, muffling her cries. Her wide brown eyes, brimming with fear and fury, glared up at him. Ethan's body locked in place, his blood running cold. "What the…?" His mind reeled, thoughts slamming into each other in chaotic disarray. "What kind of bizarre dream is this?" Panic clawed at his chest. His breath came in ragged, uneven gasps as he scrambled backward, only to realize his limbs felt sluggish, uncooperative, like they didn’t belong to him. "Is this… is this some kind of twisted fantasy I never knew I had?" A sickening thought slithered through his mind, making his stomach churn. The girl's frantic squirming slowed for a moment, her gaze flickering with confusion as she took in his expression—his trembling hands, his wide, horrified eyes. But the fear returned just as quickly. She struggled harder, her body arching, her muffled screams rising in pitch. Ethan wanted to speak, to say something, anything, but before he could force out a word, a glowing blue window materialized before his eyes. His breath caught. A translucent, hovering screen? "What…?" Lines of glowing text scrolled across its surface. --- [System Activated…] [Host Confirmed.] [Simulating Previous Data…] Ethan awakens in a mysterious world, shackled by a curse that clouds his judgment and drives him toward choices he never wished to make. Burdened by guilt and responsibility, he must navigate the fallout of his actions while unraveling the truth behind the curse—and his place in this enigmatic new reality.

In a world where fate seemed sealed, Ray seized a rare opportunity to rewrite his past. Reincarnated eleven times, he had repeatedly failed to vanquish the hero protagonist who stood in his way. The unwavering support of the twelve Heroines, who rallied behind the hero protoganist with unshakeable loyalty, had made him successful in taking down the Villain, Ray. Undeterred, Ray concocted a cunning plan. He would charm the Heroines, making them fall deeply in love with him. With their hearts in his grasp, he would manipulate their actions, crippling their ability to aid the hero in the impending final war. As the villain, Ray relished the chaos he would unleash upon the world. He would taunt the hero, making himself the ultimate target. But that was just the only beginning of his plan, as he would do much more evil things that would seem crazy for a human being to do. Yet, Ray's ultimate goal was to claim the Heroines as his own, transforming them from the hero's destined harem into his loyal wives. Armed with the knowledge gleaned from his past lives, Ray was determined to turn the tables. This was his last chance at redemption, and he vowed not to squander it. With ruthless ambition burning within, Ray set out to orchestrate his ultimate triumph. Updates: 1-2 chaps per day for now.

Raul was just another reader, tired of the same old villain clichés—the inevitable downfall, the forced suffering, the heroine’s last-minute regret when it was far too late. "If I had the chance," he scoffed, "I'd change that ending myself." The universe, apparently, took him seriously. Now, he wakes up as Azriel Morvane Votex, the infamous villain doomed to ruin. Two immediate thoughts cross his mind: One: Damn, I’m handsome. Two: I refuse to let this story screw me over. Armed with foreknowledge of the plot and an eerie, black quill that hums with secrets, Azriel has no intention of meeting the same tragic fate. He’ll rewrite the role. With a flick of his wrist, a silver revolver spins into his grasp. The cold barrel settles as he lifts it—aiming straight ahead. A slow, knowing smirk tugs at his lips. "If they want a villain..." The cylinder clicks into place. "Then I’ll give them one worth fearing." Bang.

In a world where countless web novel universes collide, where soldier kings, mercenary overlords, god-tier tycoons, and even demons wage war against each other—where protagonists rise, seduce breathtaking heroines, seize endless opportunities, and battle for supremacy—there is one man who can suppress them all. A man who has finally crossed into another world. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in the body of a young man named Veil Lancaster. "A villain destined to be beaten to a pulp by the protagonist? Am I really just a side character?" Veil muttered to himself. But why should he accept that fate? His father held absolute power, his mother was a legendary business tycoon—what made the so-called protagonist superior to him? Fortunately, at that moment, he successfully awakened the Villain System. One day in the future— "Veil! You crippled me, stole my opportunities, and even took my woman! You damn villain! You’ll suffer divine retribution for this!" A protagonist roared in fury, coughing up a mouthful of blood. Veil smiled gently and said, "I didn’t do anything… This was simply your fate." "A pawn has only one destiny—to be placed exactly where I want it." Remember this. I, Veil Lancaster, only wish to be a charming and sinister villain. ------------------------------- Update Time: 9:00 AM (GMT+8) 7:00 PM (GMT+8) Additional chapters will be released at 12:00 PM (GMT+8) Average Weekly Updates: 12 to 14 chapters (without additional updates) Each chapter will be approximately 1,800 words.

Karl, a young man stuck in a rough patch after losing his job and burning through almost all his savings, wandered through the cold, dark streets of Eldoria. On the damp, silent sidewalks, he stumbled upon something bizarre: an old gacha machine mysteriously appearing at every corner he turned, almost as if it was following him. Driven by a mix of curiosity and the overwhelming weirdness of the situation, Karl finally gave in and used his last bit of money on the machine. From the gacha ball, he pulled out a card with a barcode. Back in his cramped apartment, curiosity finally won over caution, and Karl scanned the barcode. To his shock, an app called "Common Sense Manipulation App" installed itself on his phone, claiming it could alter people's "common sense." ------ Support Me By Gifts or Power Stones -----

"When you think everything is going well, the world will flip you the middle finger." __ I had a fantastic life: a loving family, amazing friends, a stable job... I had it all. But that wasn’t everything—I was also a writer. Writing was my passion, and my novel *'The Land of Survival'* had achieved remarkable success...

I was reborn inside my own novel, and to make things worse... inside the body of the utterly despised villain, *'Fray.'* That pathetic villain who dies right at the start.
