Shadow Monarch: Heroines

Midnight Shadow

Swing into a journey that will keep you guessing until the very end... A world of royal intrigue, mystery, power, politics, fate, loyalty, and forbidden love, set against the backdrop of a complicated arranged marriage, where duty and obligation clash with desire and fate, in a world where nothing is as it seems... ***** "You know, Hero, your uncle is playing a dangerous game. He wants his useless son, Prince Arin, to become the king of Xarenzia, and he's willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen." Hero's expression remained neutral, his eyes never leaving Malum's face. Malum continued, "And it's not just your uncle. Ryker's father, Lord Kael, is also playing a similar game. He wants his son, Ryker, to become the king of Azuraea, and he's willing to eliminate anyone who stands in his way, including Princess Zulin." Hero's eyes narrowed slightly, but he said nothing. Malum's smile grew wider. "But here's the thing, Hero. Your uncle and Lord Kael are working together, at least for now. They plan to attack the king today, on his way Xarenzia." Hero's expression turned slightly grave, his eyes flashing a hint of concern. Malum's tone turned serious. "But what you may not know, Hero, is that your uncle has a backup plan. He's planning to probably eliminate Ryker and his father once he's done using him to take down his targets. And then, he'll marry Princess Astrid to his son, Arin, and secure the alliance between Xarenzia and Azuraea." "Astrid, he thought, would be a mere puppet on strings, a pawn in his grand game of power. With the king and queen eliminated, his ascension to power would be all but assured." A dark, mirthless smile twisted on Hero's lips, and his iridescent blue eyes seemed to gleamed with a sinister light, taking on a mysterious, almost surreal quality, like the glint of moonlight on dark water. "I know, but... He'll need to grow an extra head before he can succeed." He sneered, his voice low and menacing. ***** In a surprising twist, Princess Zulin awakens to find herself in a mysterious realm, unsure if she's dead or alive. With memories of her death still fresh, she's trapped in a surreal nightmare that feels all too familiar - like a lost heroine in a horror movie. She heard a cryptic voice reveal that, she is a living dead, revived by a powerful force in an ethereal world. But with this new existence comes a dark realization: she's no longer the damsel in distress, but a force to be reckoned with - the antagonist in her own twisted tale. With her sister now marrying her supposed fiancé, Zulin's desire for revenge ignites a burning fire within. Torn between getting a second chance to reclaim the throne that was rightfully hers and exacting revenge on those who wronged her, Zulin must decide whether to surrender to the darkness within and forge a new path, or to cling to her former life and risk losing herself forever. Weighing her options, she made her choice. But here is the unsettling truth: making her choice doesn't guarantee control over her fate. The threads of destiny are complex, and the forces of fate seems like they've already set their own plan in motion. She made her choice, but fate has made its own...

The Heroines All Want to Kill Me

In the fantastical empire fraught with crises, the shadow of the Demon King looms ever closer. Frey, as the eldest son of a hero family that has endured for thousands of years, shoulders the mission of preventing the Demon King from devouring the world. It turns out that according to the family's prophecy book, his ancestor was teleported to this world after insulting the game "Dark Fantasy" in another world. The ancestor managed to achieve a satisfactory ending by relying on the game's knowledge. In the sequel, "Dark Fantasy 2", for a happy ending to be unlocked, the hero must first destroy the world to obtain the "system". In the previous "game", Frey committed countless evil deeds. After successfully obtaining the "Pseudo - Evil Path" system, he was reborn to the day before entering the academy. However, his evil actions made five heroines harbor intense hatred for him in the previous life. After being reborn, they awakened their past - life memories and were bent on revenge. These heroines included the future prime minister, the great mage, the saintess, Kania, the cursed dark mage, and the imperial princess. Before entering the academy, Kania, who served as a maid in the duke's family and was a dark mage, attempted to assassinate Frey several times, such as by poisoning his food. Frey defused the crises with his "Intuition of the Pseudo - Evil". He also discovered that Kania was on the verge of death due to a curse, and the effect of the curse would weaken when she was by his side. The key to saving her might lie with her younger sister. Therefore, while hinting at his coveting of her sister to maintain her hatred, Frey injected vitality into her, even though it would shorten his own lifespan. After entering the academy, at the welcome party, the nobles indulged in extravagance and bullied the commoners. Frey rescued Irina, the future great mage who was caught by the nobles. He used the system skills "Information Detection" and "Emergency Defense" to resolve the fatal curse and earned evil points. Upon moving into the dormitory, Kania became Frey's attendant, which was the result of her request to Frey's father. If Frey caused trouble, he would be expelled from the academy. Meanwhile, Frey found that he could neither view nor upgrade his attributes except for his spiritual power. He could only accumulate points by completing tasks. Moreover, Perosh Astrad, the "Pure White Saintess", also harbored a strong murderous intent towards Frey due to her past - life memories. In this perilous world, Frey has to deal with the pursuit of the heroines while solving the empire's problems. Whether he can accumulate points, unravel the mysteries, defeat the Demon King, and survive remains a suspenseful question.

Who Radicalized The Heroines?

When he opened his eyes, he found himself stuck inside a fictional world as an extra. But this world didn’t quite seem right. Main characters could be found at every turn on the streets. Ring Grandpas could be traded back and forth! What appeared to be cliches at first look turned out to be seven-layers deep schemes. Kingdom-toppling beauties harbored horrifying secrets. Harem seeking protagonists were being played like fiddles on their fingers! And on top of it all, heavens seemed to hate his guts with a passion. He was cursed by their design at every step! So he wanted to return the favor by overthrowing the celestial court. “Since this is a world of extremes, I will prove how extreme an extra can be! I will overturn heaven and earth, wreaking such havoc that whoever made me transmigrate here shall regret!” And the first step towards this goal, of course, was to radicalize and control all the characters who had the protagonist halo. It was all purely a result of coincidences that a bunch of crazy yandere women fell into obsession, ahem, ahem!

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: Complete} {Volume Four, I Saw A Dream: Ongoing} Extra Tags: Drama, Reaction, Misunderstanding, Transmigration.
