I woke up in the body of Alessia Ryvenhart the villainess alpha CEO who makes Miranda Priestly look like a daycare volunteer. Cold. Cruel. Charming in the worst way. And absolutely detested by everyone in the bestselling webnovel My Omega’s Triumph. She wasn’t just hated for her ruthless business tactics. No this scumbag tormented the heroine, ruined careers, sabotaged lives, and chewed up anyone who got too close. Her fate? Public downfall, social annihilation, and a tragic end worthy of a Greek play. Unfortunately, that’s me now. Reincarnated into a world not like Earth, but with one major difference ABO dynamics rule everything. As an alpha with a villainous legacy and a closet full of metaphorical skeletons, I’m expected to play Alessia’s part in this corporate jungle where boardrooms are battlegrounds and omegas are often prey. But I have zero interest in living out her destruction arc. I want to survive. Maybe even thrive. Too bad the world wants a villain and the omega she’s supposed to break just declared war. Who knew survival meant learning to fight fire with fire… and discovering that some flames can’t be extinguished they only burn brighter when touched.

Micheal has had the worst luck ever since he was born. And that bad luck seemed to follow him even till adulthood. What could someone who was in his early 30s hope to accomplish when nothing ever seemed to be going well for him? He hated everyone and everything. He felt betrayed and hated by the universe itself. But even as he sought to end his own miserable life, he still took compassion on the wounded stray dog he found on the roadside and took it home. But who would’ve thought he would find a grown-ass man who was way bigger than him, tanned and so handsome with a good body, on his bed the next morning after waking up, claiming to be the dog he took home and not just that, he was claiming to be an Alpha and a werewolf shapeshifter. The world was suddenly upside down. What more did he need to hear for him to throw this dangerous man out of his house? Only, he couldn’t be so cruel because this man had no memories of who he really was and thus, he had nowhere to go. Stuck in a predicament, Micheal decides to take him in, only for the time being. So long he obediently did everything he asked, it was okay. But it’s not over yet as Micheal gets visited every night by this man who has a peculiar sleepwalking habit where he gets ‘intimate’ with Micheal. Just where will this cohabitation between a regular human, who was fed up with life, and an Alpha, who was desperate to stay safe while he was regaining his memories, lead?

The strongest hero in the world… has no idea what the hell he’s doing. For five years, he wrote a fantasy webnovel about the most overpowered protagonist imaginable. A flawless, dramatic, world-shaking hero with a name so long it might actually summon something if said aloud. But after an untimely death, the author wakes up in the body of his own creation, Lucien Aetherion Valeforge, Archmage of the Ninth Flame, Scion of the World Tree, Savior of Realms, etc., etc. Now trapped in the very world he built, one riddled with plot holes, half-baked side quests, and a barely functional magic system, he has no choice but to pretend he knows what he’s doing. Unfortunately, the world isn’t playing along. The villain seems dangerously self-aware. The party he wrote as jokes now has real personalities, real problems, and real trauma. His most powerful spells come with side effects he never bothered to define. And worst of all? Everyone expects him to act like the perfect hero he never actually was. Armed with absurd power and absolutely zero preparedness, he’ll have to navigate his own unstable story, dodge his own writing mistakes, and try not to accidentally destroy the world he once created just for fun.

She came from a world without magic. He was born with it in his blood — and betrayal in his bones. When a mysterious invitation pulls her into a realm where gods shape reality and power dictates destiny, she finds herself trapped in 'Blackthorn University', a place that doesn’t teach — it tests. There, among students drawn from across dimensions, she struggles to survive in a system that sees her as nothing more than a relic of a forgotten world. But something stirs inside her. A pulse. A secret. A truth buried even from herself. And then there’s him. The boy with molten gold eyes and lavender hair who walks like a storm given form. The one who carries rage like armor and silence like a blade. He was never meant to be here — but neither was she. Their paths cross by accident. Or fate. Either way, everything changes. As the university awakens ancient powers and forgotten prophecies, they are forced into a game neither chose — one written long before they arrived. One that binds them in ways they don’t yet understand. Because in Elyndor, not all invitations are gifts. Some are warnings. Some are curses. And some… are the beginning of something no god saw coming. This is 'not just a story of magic, monsters, and myths'. It's about the scars we carry. And the starlight that refuses to die.
