Mistakingly Saving The Villain

They used him. Broke him. Left him to die on an altar soaked in lies. Now he’s back—and every breath he takes is a promise of vengeance. In a world where heroes are corrupt and the gods answer only to power, Lucan Malryk was the last fool clinging to faith. Loyal. Naïve. Disposable. They called it a holy ascension. What it really was… was a sacrifice. But death didn’t claim him. Something far worse did. > [SYSTEM ACTIVATED] > Initializing psychological purge... > [Naivety: Purged] > [New Trait Installed: MALICE] Reborn beneath the altar with something ancient festering in his soul, Lucan rises not as a chosen one—but as a cursed one. And this time, he’s not here to save the world… He’s here to watch it burn. Bound to a Villain System that feeds on sin, Lucan has no choice but to abandon everything he once was. Mercy is punished. Compassion is weakness. And every lie, betrayal, and act of cruelty fuels his rise. As he builds a hidden empire in the ruins of the world that betrayed him, Lucan must decide: > Is he still human… Or has he become the very nightmare this world deserves? [Author's Note - A villain MC. An evil, evolving system. A world that feeds on betrayal. If you're tired of heroes — it's time to root for ruin]

Now awakened and bound to a corrupted version of the system once reserved for heroes, Santiaga no longer seeks justice or redemption. He wants vengeance—and he’ll burn the world to get it. > Every laugh. Every lie. Every smiling face that watched him suffer– will be crushed beneath his heel. As kingdoms tremble and guilds vanish in his wake, someone watches from the shadows. A beautiful woman in white. A smile on her lips. And blood in her eyes. Enter his world. Follow his path. But be warned—this is no hero’s journey. _____ Dark Fantasy | Anti-Hero | Psychopath MC | Twisted Romance | Villain Protagonist 1 - 3 chapters a day

They burned him for being too powerful. Too beloved. Too dangerous to keep alive. Kaelar of Halren—once a war hero, a saint of the battlefield, a man whose voice could stop armies and whose hands could mend what even gods had forsaken—was betrayed by the very kingdom he bled for. Labeled a heretic. Condemned without trial. Chained to a pyre and left to die. But the fire did not finish him. Something older than kings stirred in the ash. It dragged him from the brink—not to save him, but to reshape him. Now Kaelar walks again. Scarred. Changed. No longer a saint. A villain reborn. With charm that disarms, beauty that captivates, and a slow-burning wrath colder than steel, Kaelar returns to the realm that betrayed him. Beneath false names and velvet masks, he moves through the capital’s rotten heart, gathering allies among the forgotten, the outcast, and the dangerously devoted. He is no longer here to heal. He’s here to unmake the crown. And this time, they will burn.

I woke up as Dorian Valen—sadistic noble, arsonist, war criminal, mid-tier villain with a face everyone wants to stab.

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.

She was only fifteen when I found her—broken, terrified, and barely alive. I didn’t plan to keep her. I was a special ops officer—trained to kill, not to care.

For five years, I told myself I was doing the right thing. Until one day… She looked at me—not as a guardian. But as a woman in love. I tried to push her away. I was too old. Too dangerous. But she’d already made up her mind. And I was never strong enough to say no. She thought her life ended the day she was taken. But when he saved her, it wasn’t just her body that began to heal— It was her soul’s second chance. He saved her. She became his reason to live. A slow-burn, age-gap romance about trauma, survival, and the kind of love that takes years to grow—but never fades.

[COMPLETED] Aideen Ruan, though a royal princess, was always unwanted due to the circumstances of her birth. Born blind to a hostage concubine, she possessed an intriguing beauty; however, her disability rendered her utterly useless to the royal family. Even when the struggling Count Crueder reluctantly agreed to take Aideen as his wife to secure the royal dowry, her life failed to improve. A year into their marriage, Aideen's inability to produce an heir sealed her fate. The princess was destined for exile to the Temple, consigned to spend the remainder of her days in isolation and abandonment. Contrary to her anticipations, instead of the Temple, Aideen found herself within the cold walls of Duke Tillian Valentine's castle. Duke Valentine, the last scion of the once-revered Valentine family that ruled the Kingdom before the "Fratricide Rebellion", now presided over the desolate Northern lands. Faced with fear and confusion, Aideen expected her life to perpetuate its cycle of misery, only to discover that Duke Valentine might hold the key to a new opportunity, a chance at a life she had never envisioned. "You bewitched my body and soul. Put an intoxicating spell on me, shackled my heart to yours with your magic. If I could exchange my eyesight with you, I would do it just to make you see what a man dying from love looks like."

How dare you strike the princess?!” I turned to see the man— Arin von Rinehafer. Wait… that name... I know it. I’ve been transported into my favorite novel— But not as the hero... I became the villain. No more crying over the past. My childhood dream has come true. And in this life... I’ll do whatever I want, no matter the consequences.

[AUTHOR NOTE, REFRESH YOUR READING LIST, CHAPTER 45 TO 53 UPDATED AND FIXED] [Author Note: Vol 2 has started, NTR, CUCKOLD AND TABOO] All fictional characters are above 18 [WARNING THIS NOVEL IS A SEX NOVEL WHICH INCLUDES SEX CONTENT] Arthur's head hurt like crazy as he woke up. He kept his eyes closed, rubbing his temples and feeling a super comfy bed under him - definitely not his cheap mattress back home. "What the hell...?" he mumbled as he finally looked around. He was in some rich person's bedroom with a fancy four-poster bed and red silk sheets. Sunlight came through pretty stained glass windows, making red patterns on the marble floor. Everything screamed royalty - fancy mirrors, portraits of hunting scenes, and even a painting of a barely-dressed goddess that seemed to be watching him. "How did I get here?" Arthur wondered, getting out of bed. "I definitely drank too much at Mark's party last night" The last thing he remembered was almost getting hit by a car while crossing the street. Looking in a mirror, he got another shock. He didn't look like himself at all! Instead of being skinny with acne scars, he now had muscles, clear skin with just one cool scar on his jaw, with a reddish brown hair, and green eyes. "Damn, I'm hot," he said, touching the scar. For a moment, he remembered his old life. He pushed up his glasses. Kids made fun of him. Jessica laughed at him when he asked her out. "Like I'd be with a loser like you," she told him. Suddenly Arthur realized what was happening. "I've been transported to another world! Just like in those stories online!" He spun around excitedly. "I must be someone important here. This is gonna be so cool! Watch out, fantasy world, your new hero has arrived!" Right then, blue text appeared floating in front of him: [System Starting Up...] [Host Found: Prince Arthur Lionheart] [Soul Check: Person from Another World] [Magic Type: Incubus Powers Activated] "Incubus?" Arthur asked in shock. "Like, those demons that seduce people?" [That's right. Your family's magic has changed because of your Earth soul's hidden desires. Congrats on finding your true potential.] "Can I change it? I want to be a cool battle wizard or something!" [Not possible. Your soul has permanently connected to the Incubus powers. Accept it - your charm is your weapon, attraction is your shield.] "Fuck," Arthur groaned. [Exactly. The more sexual intimacy you have, the stronger you'll become.] Arthur's eye twitched. "Very funny. Just... tell me what I can actually do."

Tomas Chavez, a Filipino high school student from Roxas, Oriental Mindoro, the Philippines, died by Truck-kun and was reincarnated into a seemingly normal fantasy world with a new body and identity. He was known as Karolo Sala. That new world had some practical technologies while retaining its medieval and fantasy style. But settling down was not possible due to a war known as the Curse War, which was ongoing. That war is between the summoned 4 Horsemen, who were summoned by a shady organization known as the Order of the Deathcallers, and the humans. The same organization also brought death to those who, unfortunately, became their targets and victims. The world was in chaos, and Karolo was so unlucky after mistakenly settling down in a city known as Pâine Dela Větry, in the country called Revivir No Fern in the Central Territory. While in the middle of the war and fighting, Karolo got involved and was killed by two of the many Deathcallers, the siblings Dan and Vanda Ciercello. These two, who had a sad childhood, realized what they did to him and those who got involved in the fighting and decided to abandon their duties to the Order and save Karolo from death. However, the wounds proved to be too severe and deep for their healing magic to do the work. So, Dan decided to use a magical technique called Healing of Repentance. It is a rare technique that would heal any physical or mental ailments, but this will cost them one thing: their loyalty. This means that once that was being used, Dan and Vanda will be loyal to Karolo, probably literally for life. But Dan and Vanda will do anything to bring Karolo back to life. And…they did so, and Karolo was brought to life. Dan and Vanda then apologized to him and vowed and swore their loyalty to him to atone for their sins of bringing atrocities to humanity. And so, the three of them worked together to end the war to bring peace to the world again. And they did so, and the Curse War ended with the bad demons wiped out of existence and the Summoned 4 Horsemen returned to the Realm of the Fires. But the story of their new lives was just starting after the war had ended.

In 2020, a friend of mine at the time recommended a manhwa called "Tomb Raider King," and currently, I’m following several with an academy theme, 70% of which have been abandoned (please don’t leave me, "The Extra’s Academy Survival Guide"). That’s why I wanted something similar — so I could read without the fear of it being canceled or going on permanent hiatus because its creator has to do military service or is being exploited at work. Obviously, a novel isn’t the same as a manhwa, but I don’t care (just like having a cover made with AI).

Nevertheless, things didn't go as she planned. One would say that transmigrating to a book sound like a fantasy, however to Aera, it became a nightmare when she woke up in an unknown world even when she hasn't died yet. With an unexpected turnout, her life was hanging by a thin thread. Aera was presented with an option-either she goes back to her world with her memory erased or enter the other world, and comes back with the memory intact to have her revenge. Never did she expect of choosing the worst villain of all. A character in a book where she killed the Empress and her unborn child. Worst, the male lead was reborn time after time with his memory intact. His grudge still hung on torturing the villainess. Even more worst, the ML was a split image of her long-time crush. ----- "Do you hate me that much?" As soon as the question was raised, a table lamp flew past through the said person, smashing against the wall behind him. "More than enough to kill you right now." The female figure responded with nothing but hatred and disgust in her tone. Her jewel eyes that glow under the dark never left her gaze on the other male person who was sitting on her opposite. ----- The male lead wasn't the only one Aera had to put a guard on but even other characters when one after the other began to make an appearance. The more the flow gets out of the plot the more twisted it gets. Her only goal was to survive so she could go back home.  P.S:- English is not my first language and I am weak in grammar. I'll be happy to receive either a critics or feedback or comments...^-^ Please do give it a read till chapter 3 or above to get the clear picture.
