My Life as a Villain My name’s Ashen Ashborne. My story didn’t begin with prophecy or royalty—it began with a bloody nose and a locked-down life. My father tried to shield me from cultivation, from power, from danger. All he did was make me run. That run took me to an ancient ruin… to a monkey named Pip… and to a black stone etched with a single word: VOID. Touching that stone shattered my world and cast me into the Realm Between Stars. There, the ancient being Orion Vael gave me the Aetherium Core and the Starfall Codex, gifting me the means to reshape fate. But I was broken—literally. My soul had been sealed by my father to hide a devil half I never knew existed. Ten years. That’s how long I spent in that world tearing the seal apart and discovering the truth: my mother, Selene, sacrificed herself to save me, and my father cut my soul to keep me hidden. When I returned to the real world, vengeance burned in me. I joined the Sword Character Immortal Palace, passed the tests in dramatic fashion, and met the people who’d become my found family—Jude, Varric, and Isolde Virelle, the girl who made the sky feel small. For twenty years, we trained to enter the Land of Origin, the heart of all secrets. We made it. We fought. I killed the man who took my mother. But the Land of Origin was a lie. My sworn brother, Lucien Dorne, betrayed us all. He was the secret master of the Blood Divine Sect and took everything—Isolde included—before vanishing into the void. I followed. I fell. I was rescued by Elder Morn, who revealed the final truth: Lucien had rewritten history. My family weren’t villains… they were saviors. To fix what was broken, I chose to fall again—into Pangu, a new world, a new life, and a sealed soul. There, I lived two lives: a simple “Dumb Kid” by day, a hidden cultivator by night. I traveled 5,000 years into the past, destroyed an evil sect, trained for 180 years in solitude, and returned with mastery over my body and blade. Now I’ve regained everything. But I’m not done. I will find Isolde. I will build a body for the soul born from my false life. And I will hunt Lucien Dorne until the worlds tremble at his name. --- My Powers & Techniques Aetherium Core My second heart. Five-element cosmic energy source gifted by Orion Vael. Starfall Codex My base sword style. Graceful, celestial, deadly. Heartforged Blade My true sword intent. I forge emotion into killing styles—each a piece of my soul.

Jean wakes up in a grass field, surrounded by strangers with no memory of how he got there. On the distant horizon stands a black door. Beyond it lies a dark corridor—the entrance to a dungeon. And what’s past the dungeon? Another field with another door. With each step forward, the world grows stranger. Monsters lurk in the shadows, deadly traps wait to claim the weak, and the cycle never seems to end. Jean has two choices: push through or die like the rest. But what if forward only leads to more doors?

The Mayan ceremonial dagger had an inscription in the ancient language that read: "Offer thy heart". It's obviously an instruction left by the past inhabitants of this forgotten place, but who would be stupid enough to stab himself in the heart with a rusty old knife found inside a tombstone? After activating my battery pack the dagger shimmers brightly in a cyan light, the creatures are coming, I can hear their steps. 'It's do or die.'

In a dystopian, modern-day society ruled by a ruthless oligarchy, the class divide is a chasm that swallows the hopes of the poor while the nobles and royals revel in opulence. For the downtrodden, the only escape lies in the Dungeon—a mysterious, ever-shifting labyrinth teeming with monsters, deadly traps, and rare rewards. Integrated into society as both a gladiatorial arena and a lottery for power, the Dungeon offers a chance to rise above one’s station—if one can survive its brutal challenges. When an ordinary person is killed by Truck-kun and transmigrates into the body of an infamous, obese outcast, they are given a second chance at life. But this new world is no paradise. The MC, now reviled for their host’s past misdeeds, is determined to turn their life around. Armed with a beginner’s license and a wristband that tracks their stats, they enter the Dungeon, driven by a desperate need to provide for their ailing mother and escape the crushing weight of poverty.

This a story about a young man that was left to die on the road side. but this was not the end of his existence but a beginning of what's is yet to come. he will be reborn in world where god's walk among mortals. where monsters are not the only threat. will he be a able to live a life and find a purpose that is worth living-or-dying for? Note: This isn't a story where the MC chases every woman, nor does every girl he talks to fall for him. Relationships will have depth and meaning(atleast I will try to give depths)—he’ll have to earn their love. He will be stronger than adventurer his own level but, He won’t start as someone who is too OP, but his growth will outpace even Bell’s. If you're here for real development—both in strength and emotion—then welcome aboard. As of now I plan to include only Ryuu, Rivera, Ais and Asfi and focusing on them. In the future I might add shakti, Filvis, and may be even Alfia. And some other characters every chapter will be between 1000 words to 3000 words. another note: This is a fan work.

In his previous life, he was a master strategist, a war general feared for his genius, but betrayal ended his reign before his time. Now, he awakens in complete darkness—trapped, immobile, and… no longer human. Reincarnated as a Dungeon Core, the heart of a newborn dungeon, he must now navigate a world where survival is dictated by power, mana, and the strength of the monsters under his control. With the Dungeon System guiding him, he learns to shape his domain, summon creatures, and set deadly traps to lure in adventurers seeking fortune and glory. But this world is far more dangerous than he expected. Rival dungeons seek to devour him, empires send their champions to destroy him, and the gods themselves whisper in the shadows, watching his every move. To survive, he must evolve his dungeon into something beyond what this world has ever seen—a fortress of nightmares, an empire of monsters, and a force that even the gods will fear. The war for survival has begun. The world sees him as an abomination, a mindless entity to be erased. But they have made one fatal mistake… They think he has no mind. They think he cannot plan. But even as a Dungeon Core… he remains a strategist. And this world? It is now his battlefield.

When the bell rang at 8:01 AM, time stopped. The classroom cracked. Reality shattered. A message appeared in the blood-soaked air: “Role Assigned. Dungeon Initiated.” 32 students are now trapped in a sentient tower that judges not strength, but morality. Each has a secret Role, hidden stats, and a fate tied to the tower’s will. If you lie, it remembers. If you kill, it rewards you. But fall too far… and you’ll mutate into something that can never leave. Ayato Kurozaki, a forgotten student with a dark past, is the only one who can read the others’ Karma. In a class where allies become monsters and trust is dead, he must decide: Who deserves to survive—and who should never make it out alive. Dungeon Class: Tower of Karma – A dark survival dungeon isekai about morality, betrayal, and second chances.

When people awaken, their class gets ranked. F means nothing. SS means everything. Nobody talks about SSS ranks, because they aren’t real. Well, they weren’t real until he became one. Lucen Ivara was fine with staying average. Keep his head down, take low-tier jobs, eat something hot once in a while. That was the plan. Then his system came online. It didn’t follow the rules. There were no guides. It seemed limitless. There weren’t any safety rails he could cling into. Just a blank interface and a quiet message floating in front of him. [You are the first.] Now Lucen is crafting spells no one’s seen before, hiding a class that could get him killed, and trying to scrape by in a city where dungeon breaks, guild politics, and hidden power plays are part of daily life. He’s not looking to be a hero. But with power like this, staying invisible might be the hardest thing to do..

In a universe shaped by the Big Bang, powerful Gods serve as caretakers, while other divine beings, like the vengeful Adder, threaten cosmic balance. Millennia ago, a prophecy foretold a scion of the foresightful God, Celestia, would one day rule the universe. This led to a devastating war orchestrated by Adder, targeting a powerful faction known as The Nexus and its leader, a master of a unique, universe-controlling technique. Though The Nexus was annihilated and its leader seemingly perished, the technique, the Primordial Tether, remained elusive to Adder. The story begins in a desolate corner of the world on the continent of Vrindavan, where Orion, a gifted but struggling teenager, lives with his grandmother, Celestia, and a group of orphans. Unaware of his profound heritage or the ancient war that claimed his family, Orion struggles with a peculiar inability to cultivate magic conventionally. Hunted by a tyrannical City Lord who enslaves nascent mages, Orion finds himself in a collapsing dungeon, facing certain death. In a moment of desperation, a hidden power awakens within him, revealing his true nature and his unique connection to the very essence of dungeons. As he begins to understand the extraordinary technique he unknowingly wields and the destiny whispered by ancient prophecies, Orion must navigate a world filled with danger, uncover the truth of his past, and master his abilities. He is the last hope, unknowingly carrying the means to fulfill a cosmic prophecy, challenge vengeful Gods, and ultimately become the universe's Greatest Dungeon Master.

I was on my way home with my friend when suddenly, I spotted a beautiful catgirl cosplayer with white hair. But something felt off. I couldn’t recall seeing her in any anime, manga, or games I had ever come across. Confused, I asked my friend standing next to me. To my shock, my friend’s response sent chills down my spine: "Huh? What catgirl? What are you talking about?" Suddenly, a truck came barreling toward the girl. Without thinking, I rushed to save her. In the end, both of us were hit by the truck. Now, I finds myself reincarnated in another world, in the body of the very catgirl I had seen. But... who is this girl? How is she related to the dungeons that keep popping up in the new world? Read to find out. ------------------- It's really fun, with a lot of catgirls cute moments that let you explore what it's like to become a catgirl. (Like, what do they eat? Do they hate bath? Does their tongues have spike? Can they survive falling from high above?) There's a lot of sweet romance development and of course, some spicy chapters. But on the other hand, there will also be some intense action and dark moments as the story progresses. MC will be very confused emotionally and can be a bit annoying at first since she has to adapt to the catgirl genetics. Don't expect smut chappies right away because there has to be at least some relationship development. Slice of life slow start, slow burn, a lot of action later on.

What if the dungeon boss... farmed you? Adrian Voss account was supposed to be deleted—a forgotten beta tester erased by a lazy intern and a greedy game company. But one mistake let him slip through the cracks. Now still inside Primordial Abyss with a forbidden class—one the AI accidentally created by studying Adrian’s own test patterns—he doesn’t grind monsters for loot. He makes the monsters grind for him. Every boss he enslaves becomes a passive income machine. Every player who enters his domain drops loot when they die. And every arrogant guild that steps into the wrong dungeon? They’ll never even see him coming. But if Titan Corp ever finds him, they’ll wipe his class for “balance issues” and sue him into digital oblivion. So he hides. He ganks. He builds a kingdom in silence—like a virus buried in their own code. No level grind. No livestreams. Just kill logs—and no names. This isn’t a raid. It’s a quiet war over who commands the system. And Adrian doesn’t ask for control—he takes it.

Lin Jun, who mysteriously reincarnated as a mushroom, was immediately trapped in the depths of the dungeon by various monsters. Without hands, feet, or eyes, he survived by relying on a cheat skill that allowed him to decompose corpses and loot their bodies. He even carved out a mushroom garden within the dungeon, planning to gradually reverse-engineer his way through it. All for the sake of one day seeing the sun again.
