Shivam was just a normal guy. A government employee finally living a stable life after surviving an orphan’s hell and fighting tooth and nail through every damn obstacle life threw his way. He love anime, web novels, and his one true obsession light novels. His favorite? Transmigrated as a Third-Rate Villain. The plot? Fire. The fights? Insane. The worldbuilding? God-tier. And the characters? Untouchable—especially Marcus Ardent and Daelen Vorcrest, the last heroes of mankind. But then came the final chapter. Marcus dead. Daelen gone. The entire continent, erased with a single, lazy keystroke. “ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!” “What kind of brain-dead garbage ending is this?! You killed everyone for shock value! You threw away the best characters like trash!” Shivam didn’t just hate-comment the author. He cursed them. Then went to sleep. And woke up as Ezra Celestrian. The most forgettable side character in the novel. A man who was supposed to be dead. Only… something’s wrong. Ezra isn’t weak. He never was. He was the strongest human side character in the novel—so talented, the author killed him early to keep the power scaling in check. But now Shivam is him. And the story is no longer in the author’s hands. “Why the hell do I keep talking like a noble?” “What the fuck is this ‘Divine Enemy’ trait!?” The world believes Ezra is dead. But Shivam’s done playing along. “You dragged me into your broken story. You killed my favorite characters. You erased everything I loved for a cheap twist.” “Fine. I’ll fix your mess. I’ll rewrite your story.” “And when I find you, ‘Author’—I swear to god, I’m gonna shove that ending down your throat.”

Aarav was a quiet boy, bullied, beaten, and forgotten. In a world where power decides your worth, he had none. One tragic night, his broken body gives in—but fate isn’t done with him yet. He wakes in the same body… but not the same soul. A mysterious being has taken over—one born from death, wrath, and ancient magic. Now wielding the powers of a forbidden necromancer, the new Aarav walks a dark path: to command the dead, crush those who once laughed at his weakness, and uncover the secret behind his mysterious resurrection. But in a world full of monsters, hunters, systems, and hidden realms… who truly controls life and death? From tears to terror—from victim to conqueror—this is the rise of one who was Reborn as Undead Overlord

Liora had everything, silk gowns softer than clouds, and eleven royal brothers who treated her like a jewel. Her days were filled with naps and banquets, her biggest worry being whether sapphire blue matched better with her crown than royal gold. But fate had a cruel sense of humor. One night, she fell asleep in her warm bed with wine in her hand. The next, she woke up in a nightmare. A world ravaged by zombies. Smoke and ash filled the air. The ground was stained with blood. Her palace? Gone. Her servants? Gone. Her status? Worthless. The only thing that remained? Her will to survive. With no training, no supplies, and no clue how to swing a weapon, she was thrown straight into the depths of hell, until a cold mechanical voice echoed in her mind. [Welcome, Host. You have activated the Overlord System.] It sounded powerful, promising... until she learned the truth. She had no abilities, no resources, and a system that cared more about giving her impossible missions and drowning her in cosmic debt than helping her stay alive. While others awakened fire or telekinesis, she was stuck dodging Level 2 zombies with nothing but her fists and pure desperation. Every fight was a gamble. Every step forward cost blood, sweat, or worse—sanity. Yet she rose. She built her own base from scratch. Controlled supplies. Built a black market network in the ruins. People started to follow her, fear her, and even rely on her. And then he showed up. The aloof, deadly awakened one who never cared for others—until her. With piercing eyes and unmatched power, he could destroy armies. But when he tried to get close, to protect her, to understand her, Liora was too busy reinforcing her walls and negotiating food rations to entertain his brooding charm. He said he wanted to fight beside her. She said, "Unless you're here to dig trenches or clear zombies, move aside." He brought her rare supplies—medicine, clean water, even a working generator. She didn’t blink. "Bribing me with electricity? Cute. Now get in line with the others if you want shelter." Because in this world, there was no room for love when survival was still uncertain. But love, like the undead, is persistent. Trigger Warning: Violence, Gore, System Abuse, Psychological Trauma, Romantic Tension.

In a realm beyond gods and mortals, where stars have fallen and the Akashic Record lies shattered, one being dares to defy the impossible. Once revered as the Overlord, he now stands alone in the void, surrounded by the corpses of Celestial bodies itself. With nothing left but the memory of those he loved and lost, he makes a final decision. To sacrifice his very existence and cast his soul into the past, using the ancient and forbidden Wheel of Time. But this rebirth comes at a cost. His powers, his memories, even his name; everything will be stripped away. And yet, he accepts this fate, for a chance to see them again. To save them. To live, not as a ruler or a god, but as someone who still remembers what it means to feel. In a new world where magic thrives, powers awaken, and history has yet to collapse, a boy with no past begins his journey. Guided only by an unshakable will and the remnants of forgotten emotions, he walks a path full of conspiracies, ancient wars, and divine enemies determined to repeat the Collapse. But the Overlord is no ordinary soul. Even reborn, his presence alone warps destiny. Can one soul change everything, even when the universe says it’s already too late? Witness the tale of rebellion against fate, of eternal bonds that defy time, and of a man who chose to die… so the Universe could live again.

(Unique Skill Activated: Infinite Resurrection.) (Each death makes you stronger.) Every time a player slaughters me, I steal their stats, their skills, and their power.

Now, I am the final boss—and I will make them suffer. On the battlefield, and in my bed. They will submit. One way or another.

So when Graveth, a planet-devouring cosmic horror, loomed over the Oralen System, they tossed him out as bait and left him drifting alone in the cold darkness of the void. Graveth found this tiny planet. To its endless hunger, he was nothing—just a brittle bauble of rock. Yet it stripped away everything: atmosphere, crust, even the meager molten core, until only cracked stone remained. Completely dead. No one knows how long that shattered amalgamation of rock drifted in the endless dark. Until Donnes awoke who was also Abandoned and Betrayed by those who he called family.

I died. Not heroically. Not tragically. Just... stupidly. Being bombed by a dumb fucker for something I didn't even do. And now? I’ve transmigrated. Not into some epic fantasy. Not into some genius magician. Nope. I woke up inside the flop novel my best friend wrote—the one I “improved” by butchering into a game. The catch? I’m not the protagonist. Not even the villain. I’m Rael Von Ashborn—the dumb extra who gets executed in chapter one after drunkenly kissing the Female lead's mom. Yeah. That guy. Now I have few days to live. Unless I can somehow unlock a good class and dodge the wrath of a psychopathic duke with a grudge and a god-tier class. Oh, and did I mention my maid’s a gorilla? Right.

Bullied. Forgotten. Sacrificed. Akira Aizawa was never meant to be a hero—not in his world, and certainly not in the fantasy realm he was accidentally thrown into. While his classmates are pampered in the decadent kingdom of Dalmor and paraded as “Chosen Heroes,” Akira is cast into Vael’Thalos, the largest and most lethal forest on the continent—home to monsters, ancient curses, and forgotten civilizations. But fate made a mistake. Within the forest’s haunted depths, Akira discovers a dungeon-laboratory left behind by Sorcen Rael, the world’s most powerful sorcerer. Armed with forbidden magic, legendary weapons, and a spellbook that defies the laws of nature, Akira begins his transformation—reshaping his body, unlocking terrifying powers, and forging himself into a living myth. As the world descends toward war and political decay, Akira rises from the shadows. He does not seek fame. He does not beg for redemption. He will conquer—starting with the wild tribes of Vael’Thalos: goblins, ogres, elves, undead, and beasts who kneel not to kings, but to gods. He’s not the hero this world summoned. He’s the Overlord it will never recover from.

They locked him away, called him insane. Now he's back. And he's not playing nice. Leon Lin spent years trapped in a high-security psychiatric facility, misunderstood by the world, forgotten by society. Until one day, a voice echoed in his mind... [Ding! System Activated.] [Mission: Drive a patient insane within 10 minutes.] That’s when Leon stopped asking questions — and started taking over. With a mysterious system that feeds on madness and rewards chaos, Leon tears through the city like a storm. Psychos fear him. Criminals bow to him. Heroes? They don't stand a chance. He doesn’t want to be a hero. He just wants the world to know one thing: “I’m not crazy. I’m just the strongest.”

Volume 1. World Recode: System of the Overlord A brilliant but emotionally numb student dies under mysterious circumstances and is reincarnated into a game-like world. He is given the *Overcode System*, a powerful, evolving system that lets him rewrite reality in limited bursts. His mission? Conquer corrupted worlds that threaten to overwrite existence itself. The more he uses the system, the more reality bends around him—and the more gods fear him. Volume 2. World Recode: War of the Fractured Codes Synopsis: With the system reborn under Kazen’s rule, peace seems possible—but not all remnants of the old world agree. Deep within corrupted backups, former Admins begin to stir. Independent fragments—half-mad, fully armed—emerge from shadow servers. One among them carries a copy of the original God AI, twisted and weaponized. Meanwhile, new players are entering the world, unaware of its rewritten laws… and some carry unknown variables. Kazen, now Overlord of the Core, must form alliances with newly awakened code-beings, rival system forgers, and even a few reformed errors. Rael trains an elite guild of memory-bound warriors, and Patchling begins uncovering a forgotten truth: Kazen may not have been the first glitch to reach Godroot.

Death by Truck-kun? Too mainstream. I died choking on my own laughter during a late-night comedy rerun. Pathetic? Yes. Fitting for someone who gave up on life halfway through university and became a full-time couch potato? Also yes. When I opened my eyes again, I wasn’t in the afterlife—or if I was, it had a suspicious amount of baby talk and clean diapers. I was reincarnated... as an infant. No powers. No memories of my new name. Just chubby cheeks and existential dread. But the real horror? I slowly realized I was now living inside one of those cliché romance novels I absolutely despised. You know the type: cold-hearted king meets brave commoner girl, falls in love, political chaos ensues, blah blah gag me with a spoon. I read it. I hated it. And now? I think I’m in it. And not as the heroine. Or the villain. Or even the funny sidekick. No—I'm just some background baby who probably gets held once, then vanishes from the plot forever. With no grand destiny, no cheat skills, and no idea what chapter we’re on, I’ve decided to do the only thing I was ever good at—absolutely nothing. But fate has a funny way of dragging the lazy into the spotlight… They think I’m innocent. I think this whole thing is a joke. Let's see who breaks first.

He doesn’t have a name, a face, or a place in the story—except to guide others to their “happy endings.” For thousands of loops, he’s endured heartbreak, despair, and the crushing reset of the world every time something goes wrong. He’s memorized every line, every trigger, every rule: no deaths, no interference, no breaking the script. But Loop 1,204 feels different. The world isn’t punishing him for stepping off the path. Suddenly, he can change things—rewrite relationships, alter destinies, maybe even reclaim his own existence. But with freedom comes uncertainty, and the looming threat of the loop snapping shut once more. Can he finally break the cycle and find his own ending, or will the world reset around him one last, merciless time?

**He was born nameless. Markless. Powerless.** Yet the stars stirred. In a world carved by Systems and ruled by legacies of godblood, **Adrian** was never meant to matter. But when a dormant fragment awakens within him—something older than the Sovereigns and more defiant than Fate—his journey begins. From back-alley guilds to fractured worlds wrapped in law and myth, Adrian climbs. Every step forward earns him new enemies, lost memories, and echoes of a forgotten war that never truly ended. For somewhere beyond the veil, a mirror awakens... and it bears his name. *The shard has chosen. The World will remember.* These are the **Tales of an Overlord**.

How does it feel to be the background character?.With no face, no romance, no emotions and basically no life.Yeah I know it sounds terrible... But it wasn't actually bad because I didn't know I was just a dispensable character in a game... Before then I was living in my own clueless bubble until I got my consciousness. I guess the background character can be the main lead after all

I died gaming. Now I'm an NPC. And the final boss? She's in love with me. Kazuto Akiyama spent his final moments defeating Velzeria, Empress of Ash—the unbeatable final boss of Eternal Elysium, his favorite RPG. But death had a cruel patch update. He wakes up in the game world... not as the hero, not as a villain, but as Raze — a nameless library assistant with no skills, no stats, and no fate. Just an extra. A background character. Until Velzeria crashes into his life — injured, betrayed, and far too real. Now she’s hiding in his library, clinging to him like he’s the only person she can trust. The world thinks she's the monster. He just wanted a quiet afterlife. But with fate unraveling, ancient powers awakening, and the boss of the world curled up on his couch... Staying in the background is no longer an option.
