Trash Of The Count

"Adrian Foster has killed a million… and wants to stop. But the system hides a monstrous truth. The price of redemption? Another million bodies."

Transported to a medieval world, I became Field—a disgraced noble. I learned women here could awaken as "Chosen Maidens"—beautiful and powerful. But before I could celebrate, my cheap father and glamorous stepmother exiled me to a monster-infested wasteland! Worse? This entire empire—no, this entire world—is rotten to the core. Cruel aristocrats, cultists worshipping horrors, unspeakable monstrosities, and conspiracies lurking everywhere... all gunning for me. *Fine. You wanna play dirty?* *I quit being human!* Sister got a fiefdom a hundred times richer? **Loot it!** Brother tending sheep peacefully? **Loot him dry!** Tribes so poor they’ve only got rags? **Straight up snatch their beauties!** Elven Queen: "Where’d my World Tree go?!" Human Emperor: "Beats me!" Demon King: *Muffled sobbing* "My succubi... all gone..." Field: *Cracks knuckles* "What a miserable world. Time to clear this godsforsaken game."

Every hero starts with power. He started with dust. One moment, the classroom buzzed with teenage chatter. The next, silence fell. Students blinked—and opened their eyes in an ancient hall carved from gold and marble. The air shimmered with divine magic. And at its center stood a goddess—flawless, proud, unbelievably beautiful and wrapped in flowing white. It was a divine summoning performed by a divine goddess. Among them was Vritra… and his stunningly beautiful mother. While others received blessings, powerful physiques and grand titles, Vritra was given a skill so pathetic it made even the goddess wrinkle her nose. An ability—so pitifully weak that it drew laughter, scorn, and even disgust. But that wasn't the worst part. Betrayed and cornered inside the labyrinth, Vritra had two choices: die… or fall into the death trap. A death canopy with no exit and no chance of survival, the only option was to slaughter the demons endlessly for months. Finally!! He forced his dormant skill to awaken, after killing thousands and hundreds of thousands demons and devouring them, becoming a broken ability. A dragon? A demon? What am I exactly? ****** White robes. Cold arrogance A sinful revenge. White robes can stain. And in the dark, even divinity can moan. And then there was his mo— guilt in her breath, shame in her eyes, whispering apologies between gasps in her son's ear, doing what had to be done… for both their sakes, giving birth to a morally wrong relation. ________________ Absolutely no NTR, none at all!!!

Fuck me. I was just trying to pull my favorite character from a gacha game — Trafalgar du Morgain. The legendary swordsman. The cursed heir. The tragic side story no one cared to fix. Discarded by his clan. Humiliated by his siblings. Dead by suicide before the main plot even began. Guess who woke up in his body? Yeah. Me. Now I’m stuck in a game world that had zero lore, zero guidance, and zero chance of survival — except for the broken-ass Talent I somehow unlocked. I’ll kill, steal, lie, betray—whatever it takes. If survival means blood on my hands, then so be it. I didn’t choose this world, but I’m not going to let it chew me up and spit me out. I’ll climb over corpses if I have to. I’ll become the villain, the monster, the nightmare they never saw coming. Because in this world, there’s only one rule that matters: survive or die. And I’m not dying again. ~~~ More tags: no Yuri, no NTR, transmigration, rarebloodline, no dense mc, dragons, dragon girl, dog girl, vampire, succubus, mana cultivation, cursed heir, academy setting, secret identity, hidden talent, demons, death and rebirth, political intrigue, ancient bloodline, dark fantasy, family conflict. ~~~

Half a century has passed since the fall of Wi, the nation of the Celestial Scions, once blessed by the divine entity Sahngjon. On Birahng, a remote island untouched by the swords of the new dynasty, Dahn, the last two scions of Wi and their loyal followers lie in wait, their hopes clinging to an ancient prophecy. Finally, the crimson star foretold in the prophecy appears, igniting a fire of ambition in the hearts of the two scions. Meanwhile, in the Dahn kingdom, the king, alarmed by the growing unrest among his people, dispatches his ambitious third child, Kyeong'ui, to Birahng, the island where the crimson star has descended. Amidst a clash of desires and destinies, the crimson star hangs in the balance. Whose path will it illuminate?

Abandoned by Fate, but Chosen by Chaos. A world where magic reigns supreme and the mightiest wizards stand at the apex. A world where one’s mana affinity, if one even had it, determines one’s status in society, whether one could soar through the skies like a dragon or remain grounded, scraping by like rats or chickens. This was the world Hal Fennec was born into. Raised in the poverty of a border village, Hal had one wish: to give his mother a better life, one free from the constant fear of beast attacks and invasions by the Fellkin. But fate seemed to be playing a cruel joke. Despite being the brightest and most confident among his peers since childhood, Hal turned out to be barely qualified to become a wizard. His natural talent, contrary to his expectations, was nowhere near enough to fulfill even his modest dream of a decent city life. But then, just when his final hope was snuffed out and the future seemed gray and bleak, a twist of fate—or more fittingly Chaos—granted him a system that would turn everything around.

[WARNING: Mature Content R18] Damien was just your average nineteen-year-old—except he was cursed with endless déjà vu. Everything in life felt painfully familiar, like he’d repeated it all a thousand times. School? Too Boring. Love? Predictable. There was only one thing he had never experienced—one thing he truly craved: MILFs. Not the ones in videos. Not prostitutes. Real, wild, mature women. The forbidden fruit of every teenager’s dreams. But just when he was finally close to tasting it… Truck-kun struck. He died. Or at least, he should have. Instead, he awoke before a mysterious man who promised to end his boredom once and for all—and grant him exactly what he desired. Damien agreed. And when he opened his eyes again, he was Damien Cross, an extra in a fantasy world pulled straight from a trashy eroge game he remembered playing some months back.

Cuando abrí los ojos, estaba dentro de una novela. "El nacimiento de un héroe" fue una novela centrada en las aventuras del personaje principal, Choi Han, un chico de secundaria que fue transportado a una dimensión diferente de la Tierra, junto con el nacimiento de los numerosos héroes del continente.

El problema es que Choi Han se vuelve retorcido después de que esa aldea, y todos en ella son destruidos por asesinos. El mayor problema es el hecho de que este idiota en el que me he convertido no sabe lo que pasó en la aldea y se mete con Choi Han, solo para ser golpeado hasta convertirlo en pulpa. "...

Trong một thế giới mà bản chất được dệt nên từ vô vàn tầng lớp của những ràng buộc vô hình, nơi từng phân tử hiện hữu đều bị khắc ghi bởi định luật của sự trói buộc và mỗi linh hồn đều là con rối bị điều phối bởi chuỗi xích vô tận của nguyên lý. Và trong chính sự điên cuồng ấy, một phản nghịch đã nảy sinh...Từ phản nghịch đó, đứa con của tự do đã ra đời, không phải như một sinh vật, mà như một dị điểm của toàn thể. Lumine là một mầm mống không thuộc về trật tự, một tồn tại gào thét giữa vòm trời bất động, một biểu tượng sống của khước từ mọi gông cùm đã khai sinh ra khát vọng tuyệt đối, hủy diệt mọi ràng buộc. Không phải bằng thù hận, mà bằng chính cơn đói triệt để với tự do tuyệt đối, Lumine và kẻ song hành đã thách thức thực tại, một thực tại vốn là mê cung bất khả phản kháng được dựng nên bởi những kẻ mang danh Thần, những kẻ không tạo ra thế giới mà lại chiếm hữu nó bằng thứ quyền lực mượn danh ý chí. Thế nhưng, ngay khi bàn tay họ tưởng đã chạm đến thứ ánh sáng rực rỡ nơi cuối đường hầm, cái ánh sáng mà họ nghĩ là sự giải thoát thì chính vòm trời ấy sụp đổ, và thực tại cười khẩy bằng tiếng cười của vô số bánh răng vận mệnh gãy vụn. Họ không bị đánh bại bởi kẻ thù, mà bởi chính quy luật đã thối rữa của cái thế giới họ muốn phá tan, nơi mọi hành động dù nhỏ bé nhất cũng bị tính trước trong một ma trận tuyệt đối của hệ quả. Đắng cay thay, cái chân lý mà họ đuổi bắt, cái chân lý trần truồng, tinh khôi và thuần khiết nhất... tự do lại nằm ngay trước mắt họ, song bị che khuất bởi sự tồn tại của một điều không nên tồn tại...Và chính vì thế, sự tồn tại của hắn không thể được dung thứ. Không phải bởi vì đạo lý, mà bởi vì hắn là dấu chấm hết của mọi diễn ngôn. Kẻ đó không nên tồn tại. Không phải bởi vì hắn sai, mà bởi vì hắn là thứ thuần túy, một lỗ hổng mang hình người trong thân thể của một thế giới đang hấp hối vì chính những gì hắn cho phép tồn tại.

After seven long years of a relationship, my girlfriend broke up with me. Instead of mysteriously awakening a new damn iron will to survive, I got screwed over by a truck! Now, transmigrated to another world, I have to survive as one of the side characters, dying a pitiful death? No, I'd rather turn everything over its head and live a peaceful life. Screw all that power struggle. Slice of life here I cometh!

I died with her voice in my code—and woke up with nothing. No power. No past. No name worth keeping. Just a child’s body in a world where men obey, and women command breath, blood, and flame. The House of Anara runs the monastery that reshaped me. They think I’m quiet. Useful. Harmless. But I’ve begun to see the gaps in their structure. I have an eye for patterns. A mind built for systems. And more than anything— I have memory. I have theory.

The world collapsed. Then the system began to speak. People gained stats, zombies filled the streets, and cities sank into silence. But this wasn’t an apocalypse—it was preparation. William survived with nothing but the ashes of his lost family. The system gave him power. He leveled up. But he soon realized: This wasn’t just a world. And the system... wasn’t just his. Ley energy is corroding. A shadowed will is watching everything. And the protocol… has yet to be fully revealed. Surviving was only the first task.

Thrown out like garbage. Raised in shadows. Now the whole world can’t take their eyes off her. Found behind a dumpster and raised in the slums, Rani never knew where she came from—only that survival was a daily fight. But when a powerful billionaire claims her as his long-lost daughter, she is suddenly swept into a world of power, wealth, and scrutiny. Adopted into the Mehra empire, Rani quickly learns that family isn't always made of love. Her three new “brothers” treat her like an outsider. The world calls her a gold-digger. And just when she starts to believe she might belong, a DNA test on her 18th birthday shatters everything. Publicly disowned, thrown out of the mansion, and stripped of every luxury, Rani is left with nothing. Nothing—except her fire. What the Mehra family didn’t know is that Rani never needed their money. Never needed their pity. Because her real power lies in her presence—how she lifts others, unites strangers, and makes even her enemies admire her. From the ruins of rejection, she rises. From “trash girl” to self-made icon. And soon, the same people who scorned her… are fighting just to stand beside her. She was never just a mistake in a DNA test. She is everyone’s darling. And she always was.

> In a world ruled by power, flames, and fate… even a god can fall. But some flames never die. Once revered as the Supreme God of War and Alchemy, Long Feng stood at the peak of the heavens—feared by gods, envied by immortals, and followed by legions. But betrayal struck at the height of his reign. Ambushed, cursed, and shattered, his divine soul was torn from the skies... Only to be reincarnated into the body of a crippled, trash-tier young master in the lowest realm. Mocked. Beaten. Cast aside. But fate had a different plan. Within this frail body lies a hidden destiny: a divine constitution so powerful the heavens once tried to destroy it. Now reborn with his ancient knowledge, ruthless will, and the legendary Vermilion Ember, Long Feng begins his slow and terrifying ascent once again—from dirt and disgrace... to supremacy. > He’ll master forbidden alchemy, crush arrogant geniuses, forge divine flames, and seduce five powerful women, each bound to him by love, loyalty… and lust. But his goal isn't just revenge. It’s to conquer the realms, reclaim his divine throne, and protect the people he failed once before. --- > "You called me trash? Watch closely as I burn the heavens down > Trash? No. I am the Flame that conquers fate. I am the Alchemist War God.

# The Epic of Arjun - Synopsis ## Setting The dense forests of Dandakaranyam in ancient Bharath, where traditional ways of life and the code of dharma still govern the land. ## Main Characters **Arjun** - A sixteen-year-old with the classical heroic build of ajanubahu (arms extending to his knees), trained in combat and archery. Despite his warrior training, he has a compassionate heart that abhors unnecessary killing. **Devavrath** - Arjun's grandfather and mentor, a formidable warrior whose true identity remains mysterious. Though aging and ill, he possesses extraordinary combat skills and deep wisdom about threats facing the motherland. ## Plot Summary Young Arjun lives a secluded life in the forest with his grandfather Devavrath, undergoing rigorous training in archery and combat. When his grandfather falls ill, Arjun ventures into forbidden territory to gather rare medicinal herbs, despite warnings about the dangers that lurk there. In the tiger's domain, Arjun encounters a fierce tigress protecting her two cubs. The tigress, already wounded from territorial battles and desperate to protect her young, attacks the intruder. Faced with an impossible choice, Arjun reluctantly kills the tigress in self-defense but saves her orphaned cubs, bringing them home to raise as his own responsibility. This act of compassion comes with a price - Devavrath demands that Arjun double his training efforts. Through increasingly challenging exercises, including hitting targets while dodging his grandfather's attacks, Arjun's skills are pushed to their limits. As the training intensifies, Devavrath reveals a shocking truth: Arjun is not just a forest dweller but a Kshatriya with a destined role to protect Bharath from foreign threats that are gathering in the shadows. The rigorous training is preparation for a greater purpose - to defend the motherland from "foreign beasts" who wait to strike. ## Central Themes - **Dharma vs. Personal Desire**: Arjun's struggle between his natural compassion and his duty as a warrior - **Responsibility and Sacrifice**: Taking responsibility for consequences of one's actions (raising the tiger cubs) - **Hidden Destiny**: The revelation that Arjun's simple forest life is actually preparation for a greater calling - **Master-Student Bond**: The deep relationship between Devavrath and Arjun, built on trust, wisdom, and unspoken secrets ## Conflicts **Internal**: Arjun's moral conflict about killing and his confusion about his true identity and purpose **External**: The immediate physical challenges of survival and training, with hints of a larger conflict brewing for the future **Generational**: The tension between Devavrath's knowledge of greater threats and Arjun's current innocence about the wider world ## Story Questions - What is Arjun's true heritage and why is it being kept secret? - What are the "foreign beasts" that threaten Bharath? - Why is Devavrath's time running out, and what will happen when he's gone? - How will Arjun's compassionate nature reconcile with his warrior destiny? ## Tone Epic and mythological, blending intense action sequences with philosophical depth. The narrative carries the weight of ancient Indian storytelling traditions while exploring timeless themes of duty, sacrifice, and the price of protecting what one loves. This opening chapter establishes Arjun as a reluctant hero whose journey from compassionate youth to defender of dharma promises to be both physically and spiritually transformative.
