Yanderes Heroines

In the year 2031, the earth has further advanced in its technological developments. Though there are democracies, republics, and several other systems of governance followed by various countries, there is still one country that adheres to the feudal system—the Arinphiam Empire. The empire is divided into three parts, where the royal family coexists with the central government to control the empire, keeping it as one of the strongest nations on planet Earth. The richest man on this planet belongs to this empire, where noble families still exist, governed by laws specifically made for them by the royal family instead of the central government. Marquess Avendial Croceaus has finally returned to the past, to the year 2031—a year before the tower's arrival—on the date where his downfall began. As he returns to the past, he discovers himself facing the initial setback of his life, where accusations of treason are soon to fall upon him. This world-building novel presents a completely fresh story with new ideas and plots, where the efforts of the main character lead him to become the one who changes his fate as a villain.

{Author Of Old-World Extra} "All untainted paths lead to the one truth." — There was nothing special about my life... except for how I died. I went out in the dumbest, most ridiculous way possible; even a dog’s death would’ve made for a better sight. But hey, that wasn’t even the weird part. Not by a long shot. For whatever reason, my soul had gotten ripped out and shoved into the body of some "Villain" in a faraway land. Yep, you heard that right. A clichéd "Villain." And I’ve got ten days before he’s publicly executed. This guy—well, I—used to be a Beggar. One that grew into a Magi, then a Seeker, then a Professor, and then... A Sultan. The one ruler of the entire world. Now? I’m stuck facing the people I used to love, ready to pay for all the “evil” I’ve done. Fate seemed Hellbent on ending me no matter where I went, but just as I was about to give up... A Script appeared before my mind’s eye. {Would you like to witness your real history, your Path?} {Would you like to make it past your Promised Day?} {Would you like to become a True King?} {If so, repeat after me…} It gave me one word—ancient, powerful, and clear. “BASSORĀH!” Many paths came together. Then, a projection appeared and it began to display... my memories? — This is a story about suffering. Anger. And forgiveness. {Volume One Remember Me: Complete} {Volume Two For Whom The Bell Tolls: Complete} {Volume Three When the Sparrow Falls: Ongoing} Extra Tags: Drama, Reaction, Misunderstanding, Transmigration.

After Amihan, politician by day and otaku by night, died from a political assassination, she got transmigrated as the saintess in another world. But she always felt like a fraud. Why? If she was the chosen one, why did she feel so rotten inside? Also, wasn't she atheist? However, her years of forced piety and suppressed desires ended in spectacular failure - her decapitation. Three days later, she woke to the sight of a worshiper bowing low. “Welcome back, O Sun Who Burns The World,” they said. 'Wait. What? I'm not the Saintess? I was this all along?' Furious at the wasted years of celibacy, moral dilemmas, and suffocating oaths, Serafine made a vow: no more pretending. No more rules. The world? Hers to ruin. The people? Playthings. But wait. It was harder than she thought because... How in the name of the Goddess Aurelia was she supposed to have her debut when she was surrounded by a bunch of suspicious and crazy beautiful women who wants to hunt her down?!

Everyone loves Yanderes, right? Right?! Who wouldn’t be fascinated by crazy people with psychotic tendencies who have an absolutely twisted idea of love? These are people who will go to any extreme just to make sure their love interest belongs to them—and only them. Stalking? Kidnapping? Murder? Torture? Mind-breaking? You name it, and a Yandere will do it with a smile on their face if it means keeping their beloved by their side. This story is about a guy—a hardcore Yandere fan—who one day finds himself mysteriously transported to the world of his favorite anime. But here’s the twist: he’s not the hero, not the villain, not even a supporting character. No, he’s been dropped into the story as a random mob character. The anime’s world isn’t just filled with beautiful, young magical girls—it’s also crawling with terrifying monsters that the girls are secretly at war with. A war that involves life-or-death battles hidden from the eyes of ordinary people. And here’s the kicker: in this dangerous world, Yanderes are just as terrifying as the monsters. Their obsessive love isn’t sweet—it’s deadly. With no plot armor and no special powers, the guy quickly realizes that surviving in this world is going to take more than just luck. So, what’s a regular guy supposed to do when he’s surrounded by love-crazed girls, powerful magic, and bloodthirsty monsters? If he wants to survive, he’ll have to be smart, cunning, and willing to cross any line. This is his story—a tale of survival, manipulation, and the chaotic world of Yanderes.

Only the villainess was the only sensible one but even she got the worst ending too for being engaged with the crown prince- and dying at every route she's on.

"If you don't leave the crown prince alone. I'll have no choice but to use other ways to shut you up." she says coldly, glaring at the cowering girl. Well that was the Villainess thought but the former streamer was just so confused and excited she couldn't help but shout- "I-I'm the Heroine of Love Lily Bloom?!"

WARNING: Mature Content The story of a knight who has fallen in love with his queen. It was nothing but that, a simple plot for a fairytale, or was it? He stood proud at seven feet, everything looked minuscule in his sight. He towers above all knights who looked at him with disgust and alarm. He was one of the rebels not long ago, but for an undisclosed reason, he has betrayed his so-called 'brother at arms' for a seat at the round table. People murmured whenever he passes them by, the atmosphere itself was laced with terror as this all muscled barbarian held his head high. Panic in the hearts of many was evoked by his presence alone as he stood before the queen who was forced to face him. "My queen," he knelt before her, and even yet the queen had to look up from her throne to meet his eyes. The frail queen was very small compared to him, her fragile countenance barely reached five feet and her innocent face makes her look like a child. He took in the vision of her as she sat there, trying to look brave as she met his eyes. His queen, the reason why he risked it all and will risk it all again. She sat on the throne judging his motives and all the while fearing him. Was she disgusted by him too? He can't tell. The crowd disappeared and all thoughts from his mind were gone as he was faced with her. She has dark auburn hair that reached past her shoulders, small lips that curled into a thin smile, and eyes that expressed her immense disgust and anger for what she had labeled him in her mind - one of the reasons for the destabilization of her kingdom. He wants it all, all of what she offers. Her beauty, her brilliance, her frailties... at that moment he realized, he wanted all of her.
