Scary Names For Characters

I used to think obsessive male leads were kind of hot. You know, the intense stares, the undying devotion, the way they’d burn the world for the woman they love? Swoon, right? Wrong. That fantasy went up in smoke the moment I woke up in the body of Sonia Mitford. The heroine of The Crimson Devotion. The first obsessive romance fantasy novel I ever read. The one that ended on a mysterious hiatus. The one with Marius Wittelsbach, a charming, possessive psychopath who thinks an ankle shackle is a love language. Now I’m trapped in a velvet-draped prison, shackled to a bedpost like some porcelain doll in a gothic fairytale. And Marius? He’s worse than I remembered. Sweet, soft-spoken, and utterly unhinged. "You don’t need to be afraid. I’ll take care of you." Translation: I’ll murder anyone who blinks in your direction and serve you tea over their corpse. "Anyone who bothers you... anyone who looks at you the wrong way... I’ll get rid of them for you." I thought I was playing the role just fine. Smiling. Nodding. Pretending not to be horrified. But then, plot twist. Alessio Slovene, the forgettable side character, walks in looking like a golden retriever knight and drops this bomb: he’s actually the crown prince in disguise. And he’s been investigating Marius. Finally, a lifeline. Maybe. Because people are vanishing. The body count is rising. And every time Marius kisses my forehead and calls me “Nia,” I feel one step closer to becoming the tragic heroine in a blood-soaked love story. Obsessive male leads aren’t dreamy. They’re terrifying. And I might be in way over my head.

[Horror Game Developer : My games really aren't that scary!] I hate horror.

He's not a hero. Not a villain either. Just a man with no way out. Andress, a 22-year-old ordinary man, suddenly found himself buried beneath a pile of mysterious books titled Bad Ending. For an entire year, he was consumed by the tragic tales of a world doomed to collapse-again and again. But when he turned the final page, he realized... He had been pulled into that very world. Not as the protagonist. Not as the antagonist. But as someone who was never even written into the story. To return home, Andress must carry out a mission from the Goddess of the Universe. But this world doesn't want to be saved. The story has already been written. The ending is already set. And if becoming a killer is the only way back-so be it.

She stayed by his side for years, only to be met with a cold dismissal: "I never loved you." To love Jayden, Su Ye had sacrificed everything—her mother, three unborn children, even her own face.

Years later, Jayden would wake at midnight, haunted by the memory of her gentle smile. And as pain lanced through his chest, he finally understood: He had loved her all along.

I was born invisible. Not weak. Not strong. Just… unseen. No one called my name. No one stopped to ask if I was okay. I was the background noise of a world that only cared about power, titles, and destiny. And when the Tower appeared—black, colossal, hovering in the sky—it changed everything. Awakening screens descended. Skills were granted. Ranks assigned. Heroes rose overnight. I got nothing. [Rank: F] [Skill: None] [Title: None] No second chance. No secret talent. Just a system stamp declaring me worthless. While others became legends, I stayed behind—sweeping streets, watching the world from the sidelines. Until one night… a second screen appeared. [You have been chosen.] [Monarch System Activated.] Not a normal system. Not something given to everyone. Something darker. Older. Meant for those long forgotten. I don’t know what this Monarch System wants. I don’t know why I was chosen. But if this world turns life into a game, then I’ll rewrite the rules. I may have started as an extra. But I’ll climb that Tower. I’ll carve my name into the sky. Even if I have to die a thousand times— I’ll save everyone. Thank you everyone for reading the book. Just a massage for you.. I'll also upload this story at Royal Road and also in TAPAS.

To avoid such a calamity those trying to start the apocalypse must be stopped before they can complete their mission. The gods picked their champions to purge the plague of evil out of the academy and save the world. Except every time that date rolled around, the heroes failed. Every reset and reattempt, they failed. Nine times already. The gods now only had one last chance to reset everything. A pair of young twin goddesses out of desperation began to look outside the box for some hope of changing this dark fate. They thought that perhaps someone who never originally meant to go to Trinity Academy could be brought in to change things for the better. Someone with a different view, someone with a little experience with hero work prior to entering the school. Enter Archer Griffen, residing on the opposite side of the world he was one of the few who were directly taught by the heroes of the old generation. A hero in training through and through, albeit a peculiar one. The mad dog, the sloth, the sleuth, the tick, the nightmare, the liar, the knight, are just a few of the nicknames Archer has had fortune or perhaps misfortune of earning from his peers. The twin goddesses decide that maybe a person like him could avoid the calamity. He was never supposed to be here, and his entrance does change things, though perhaps not necessarily for the better. But who knows what damage this unexpected no-named outlier could cause to Trinity Academy. Can the boy who avoided death avoid destruction for all? Only time will tell.
