Akiyo Oshima was a successful man, with wealth, status, and a perfect life. However, by giving in to the temptation of betrayal, he awakened the wrath of the one entity he should have never angered—his girlfriend, Sayuri, who turned out to be Death itself. As punishment, Sayuri cursed him. Akiyo was stripped of his identity, his form, and even his gender. In every world, a new body would be created for him, allowing him to inherit memories and a random aspect of personality. Now, he must live as Shizune Accursed. But her new existence was far from a second chance. Trapped in an endless cycle of reincarnations, Shizune awakens in different worlds, with no control over her fate. And in each of those worlds, there's always a Yandere she has met or will meet, whose obsessive love inevitably leads her to her death—whether by possessive love, madness, or simply the need to have her all to themselves. Condemned to die over and over in the arms of those who love her in twisted ways, Shizune, in an attempt to understand the burden of manipulating others’ feelings, finds herself on a dangerous path. Will she survive and break this curse? Or will she remain forever trapped in a cycle where love is uncontrollable and always leads to death? Whether in a fantasy, futuristic, or modern world, where anything can happen, the question remains: who is really on Shizune's side? Are they allies she can trust, or just more Yanderes waiting for the perfect moment to seal her fate? Among men and women, even within her own family, Shizune will need to figure out who she can truly trust… before it’s too late. Discord server link to view images = https://discord.gg/c5m4H2jnw9

All Raven ever wanted was a chance — to go to college, make friends, be loved, and live like any other girl her age. But dreams, it seemed, weren’t meant for people like her. As a scholarship student at an elite university built for the wealthy and privileged, Raven's life quickly spiraled into a nightmare. Surrounded by cruelty and entitlement, she became the perfect target. Their relentless torment stripped her of everything — her dignity, her hope, her will to live.

Ten years later, those same bullies, now living lavish lives of success and luxury, had long forgotten the girl they destroyed. But Raven hadn’t forgotten them — not one bit. With scars that ran deep and a heart hardened by pain, she returned — no longer the fragile girl they once broke. One by one, she would visit her tormentors, delivering her own brand of justice and making them learn that every cruel action has a consequence. Because this time, Raven isn’t the victim. She’s the reckoning!

Read the complete synopsis before reading the novel. ---- An ordinary guy was thinking of confessing his love to a girl at the end of summer break, but he died before he could confess. He reincarnates into a new world and realizes he is in the world of the game he played. The game was a bit complex, with lots of choices and twists, but in simple words, it had a protagonist and five heroines. Making the correct choices would keep all heroines alive and end up with the protagonist, while incorrect choices would lead to the death of the heroine. The person responsible for killing the heroine if the player makes the incorrect choice is Akechi Ryuki, the best friend of the protagonist. Now, our normal guy possesses Akechi Ryuki. What is he going to do? Will he do the same as the real Akechi Ryuki would do? Or will he do something even worse? Or will he ignore them? ---- MC is a good person, but he has many perverted fetishes and fantasies, which he will make heroines fulfill since heroines also have such fetishes. Also, not all women in the novel are for the MC. The MC already had his harem, while other characters also have theirs.

In his first life as 'Caine Wilson', was the villain—ruthless, cunning, and very powerful. He played his part perfectly, crushing the so-called "protagonist" and parading his enemies, their families, and anyone who crossed him naked through the streets. He watched with glee as the "hero" lay broken, stripped of his dignity, before finally ending his pitiful existence. But just as Caine, thought he had finally won and secured his place at the top, 'Higher ups' intervened. A booming, ethereal voice—like the universe’s pissed-off judge—shook the skies: "You have violated the sacred code of villainy! The villain shall not win. The balance has been broken. Caine Wilson, the world hereby rejects you!" Before he could even enjoy his victory, his world blinked out, like a story whose writer just erased the last chapter in frustration. Everything went dark. And when he awoke, he wasn’t Caine Wilson anymore. He was 'Su Xiaobai', a nobody on 'White Cloud Star', a world of cultivation, martial arts, and endless struggle. But this time, things were different. He could feel it—he could see through the cracks of reality itself. He could break the fourth wall! He wasn’t just some reincarnated soul; he was a villain who had 'seen the system', who understood the game. And he was about to flip it upside down. --------------- A/N: Buckle up, you miserable bunch!

Titanomachy. That was Zeus’s biggest mistake. His heart was in the right place, but his head wasn’t. The lust for power had corrupted him as he overthrew his father.

In a world where the enigmatic and deadly phenomenon known as the "Sink" dictates survival, individuals are plunged into a surreal and treacherous trial. The Sink is a realm of shifting rules and brutal challenges, where the only escape lies in nurturing a "world seed." These seeds, however, are not freely given—they must be claimed through the death of others, absorbing their seeds and gaining a fated ability tied to one's destiny. Reed, a quiet and observant boy, is marked by a haunting encounter with a grotesque entity that strips him of his past, his family, and his identity in exchange for a seed.

The Sink is not just a trial of strength and cunning—it is a crucible that tests the very essence of what it means to be human.

"HERO" They are worshipped, celebrated, and hailed as humanity’s greatest defenders. But behind the cheers and applause, heroes are expected to be flawless—always sacrificing, always fighting. In Auronia, one of the three greatest kingdoms on Earth, heroes are more than just protectors; they are the pride of the nation. With nine advanced states, cutting-edge technology, and a structured Hero System, Auronia ensures order and security through its ranked defenders: ELITE (S-Class) – The pinnacle of power. Legends like Solarion and Blackjack stand here, shaping history. MEDIUM CLASS (A, B, C-Class) – Strong, reliable, but just another name on the list. LOW CLASS (D, E, F-Class) – Heroes who barely make a difference. SPECIAL PLACE – Not that special, honestly... A.K.A Sidekick. Yeah, you heard that right. Sidekicks. The ones assigned to assist heroes, take notes, handle logistics, and—if they're lucky—get some cool perks along the way. The selection process is brutal. Only 2 out of 10,000 applicants make it. And me? I’m Leo Maddox. The third person to pass. Sounds impressive? Think again. Sure, working under Solarion, the No.1 Hero of Auronia, has its advantages—free meals, VIP treatment, and never worrying about bus fare. But none of that mattered when I got rejected by my crush. Yeah. Rejected. Just because I’m a sidekick. I mean, come on! I work with the No.1 Hero! But no, apparently, that’s not good enough. Just when I thought my life couldn’t get worse, some nosy agents from A.X.I.O.M., the nation’s secret intelligence agency, started pestering me. Seniors, officials, and even former heroes kept coming to me for help. It was exhausting. I just wanted to keep working with Solarion and live my life in peace. But then... things got weird. I found a picture of someone who looks exactly like me—inside Solarion’s personal files. Who the hell is he? Why does he have my face? And as I dug deeper into the truth, I realized something terrifying. Auronia, the nation of heroes—the beacon of justice and progress—is hiding a darkness far worse than anyone could imagine.

In an ancient universe where gods govern not just worlds but entire dimensions, a cosmic catastrophe shatters the Divine Realm into fragments scattered across time and space.
