Kai Blackthorn was once the most feared villain in the world, known as the Dark Emperor. But when a dimensional calamity threatened to destroy Earth, he fought alongside the heroes to save humanity. After the war, he became even stronger than the original hero, eventually growing so powerful that he killed Vorthak, a god from another dimension who controlled the dungeon gates connected to Earth. However, gods have allies. In revenge for Vorthak's death, Zephyros, the God of Storms, hunted down Kai and killed him after an epic seven-day battle. But death wasn't the end. Kai awakens in the body of Lucas Gray, a weak and constantly bullied 16-year-old student at the Hunter Academy. This frail body is the complete opposite of his previous powerful form - Lucas is an F-rank student with barely any mana and pathetic physical abilities. The catch? Kai retains all his memories, combat experience, and most importantly, his immense power. The problem is that this weak body can't handle even a fraction of his true strength without being destroyed. Now Kai must carefully rebuild his strength from the ground up, using his centuries of knowledge and secretly accessing items from his dimensional storage. He has to train Lucas Gray's body to gradually handle more power while navigating academy life, dealing with bullies like Jake Morrison, and slowly climbing the ranking system from F-rank upward. But this is more than just a comeback story. Kai suspects there's a deeper reason for his reincarnation, especially as new dungeons appear faster than ever before. Something big is coming, and he needs to regain his full power before it's too late. Armed with god-slaying techniques trapped in a teenager's body, Kai begins his journey to show the world that even the weakest student can become the strongest hunter - if they have the right experience and determination.

I was just a 21-year-old college student pursuing an engineering degree, and like any other person my age, I hoped to secure a placement in a large company to support my family. However my life turned upside down the day when I, along with my friends, decided to go on a trip to the hills. The peaceful trip turned into our worst nightmare when a wounded, unknown man attacked us out of nowhere. That man was illogically strong, even with the injuries, and nearly killed all of us. But to save my friend, I grabbed him and jumped off the edge of the hill. I should have died there, but a strange holographic window appeared in front of me, declaring that I carried a unique bloodline and teleported me to an unknown world. I needed to survive in this unknown world and find out the answers—why I was still alive, why I was teleported here, and how I could return to Earth. But the more I traveled this unknown world ,the more I got tangled in its affairs, and I realized my bloodline wasn't as simple as it seemed.

"When she read, Lisa had always hated villains. In her defense, she never expected to become one." Lisa was an avid reader, and among all the books she loved, she had a new obsession: Beauty and Power, a book in which the main villain shared her name. The book began with two characters, Lisa and Eleanor, who, during a vacation trip, ended up getting lost in a cave and found themselves in the world of beasts. They were best friends and did everything together, so it was no surprise when both transmigrated to the same world. In the world of beasts, they were the most beautiful and caught the attention of the most powerful males. Over time, however, Lisa's envy and ambition grew stronger and stronger. The friends soon became rivals and then enemies. Lisa, the villain, led the fox clan against the tiger clan in the book’s final battle, where she was ultimately defeated by the protagonist, Eleanor. As a consequence of her sins, she was blamed for the war and sold into slavery. To ensure she could never manipulate anyone again, her tongue was cut out. That was the price she paid for her greed. "Now that was a great ending!" Lisa exclaimed, delighted by the story. However, she was far less thrilled when she woke up in the villain’s body. Sold as a slave and unable to speak, Lisa could only rely on her intelligence to survive in that body. But after all, what could she do with the body of a notorious criminal?

Her childhood was forged in shadows, and she was sharpened into a weapon, trained to be a ghost, a killer, an instrument of vengeance. The target: a decorated general whose face haunted her every nightmare, the man who tore her world apart. But just as the final strike neared… the world shattered. She woke in a savage, ancient realm where kings ruled with iron fists and war devoured the innocent. Her body? That of a thirteen-year-old. Her fate? Sold to traffickers, bound for hell by a family member's design. Big mistake. They expected a victim. She gave them hell. Every brutal lesson, every violent instinct...she unleashed them all and carved her way to freedom. In the depths of that strange, dangerous world, she met a reclusive martial arts master, one whose power defied reason, whose teachings broke her and rebuilt her again. But nothing could prepare her for the revelation that came next: The man she was born to kill... was here. In this world. And he was her father. By blood. By fate. The General! Then, deep in the wilds of Mount Ourea, she saved a dying soldier from the clutches of Hades. But he wasn’t just a soldier. He was a prince, the heir to a kingdom, but deprived of his birthright.  He was wounded on a secret mission to crush the rebels tearing his kingdom apart. To the prince, she was: A woman disguised as a man. A healer who knew the way of the sword. A mystery wrapped in secrets and shadows. The most intriguing enigma of his life. Will she be the weapon they made her—or the legend she was born to become?

The Return Undeserved Jin Mu was a man who sacrificed everything—honor, love, even his soul—to save a world that spat on his mercy. Betrayed by those he trusted and slain by the friend he called brother, he awakens decades earlier, in the body of his younger self. Armed with memories of a shattered future and mastery over the forbidden Black Emperor Pathway, Jin Mu vows to rewrite destiny. But power has its price, and every choice drags him deeper into the web of old grudges, secret orders, and the merciless Laws that bind reality itself. This time, he will not bend. This time, he will not forgive. Yet even vengeance may not be enough to cleanse a world that deserves nothing—and a man who believes he deserves less.

The life of Claude von Soler, Archduke of the Human Empire, was marked from childhood by a power few could comprehend: the absolute mastery of ice. With unparalleled talent, he became a general capable of defeating entire armies with a single swing of his sword—a prodigy feared as much by his enemies as by his own allies. But glory was not enough to fill the void of a cold heart or to protect what he loved most. Bound by ancient laws to take a wife, Claude accepted Sarina Le Ciel, a young noblewoman of humble origins whose courage and kindness broke through his walls of indifference. Together, they seemed destined to forge an unshakable legacy… until the emperor’s betrayal unleashed a devastating war that would destroy everything. When Sarina dies in his arms, Claude becomes a specter of ice and fury. Consumed by grief, he annihilates his enemies and those he once called brothers. Not even the fall of two empires is enough to restore what he lost. And when his own sword finally pierces his heart, only silence remains in his wake. However, fate has not finished with him. Claude awakens in his own past, fifteen years before his tragedy began, carrying all the memories of what will happen if he fails to change the course of history. This time, he will not allow his love to be lost. This time, his power will no longer be an instrument of obedience—but the key to shattering the chains that condemned him. Thus begins the second life of the Ice Demon King: a man determined to rewrite his destiny, even if doing so means defying an entire empire.

The foundations of Abyssinia Magna were once built upon the ignorance of its people — a truth that remains unchanged. Ruled by Seraphiel Krüger, the Rex Mundi grows ever stronger, extending its influence across the desolate lands. Isaak of Averno, the reincarnation of the mystic supreme being, now rises. Guided by blind conviction, he will pursue his quests in search of truth — and the annihilation of the Rex Mundi.

*Synopsis* Kai had always been into fantasy stories—knights, mages, epic battles, and especially the whole “hero vs. demon king” thing. But out of all the crazy tropes those stories had, the one that always stuck with him the most was hypnosis. Then one day, while walking out of a store, fate hit him like a truck—literally. He shoved a woman out of the way, saved her life… and promptly died. Classic. But instead of fading into the void or getting some sad funeral scene, Kai got the “Congratulations, you’re reincarnated!” treatment. New world, new rules, new him. Total fantasy package. He was told he could pick three abilities to help him get started. So what did he choose? Strength? Magic? Swordsmanship? Nah. Kai picked hypnosis. Because why not have a little fun with mind control in a world where dragons and demon kings exist? Now, with his powers unlocked, Kai’s ready to dive into an adventure full of excitement, danger, and a little (okay, a lot) of debauchery. And hey—if he ends up saving the world while he's at it? Even better. All thanks to hypnosis, of course. *DISCLAIMER* This novel will be a fun adventure story, not to be taken seriously. If you just want to laugh, have fun, enjoy a super overpowered MC, and lots of lemons (maybe), then this story is for you. If you're here for an intricate, thought-out, crazy foreshadowing story with stakes, then this story ISN'T for you, so shoo, go away!

I gave them my everything. My time… my strength… my heart. I trained while they slept. I smiled when they laughed. I stayed… even when it hurt. And what did I get? Nothing. They looked at me like I was pathetic. Like, I didn’t belong. Like I was… less. But I... the naive person I am, continued trusting them. They told me to act like trash, fine—I became trash. They told me to act like a scumbag, fine—I played the role. However... One mistake, one single moment... That’s all it took. And they threw me away. But now… Someone else woke up in my body. A stranger, a man who doesn’t know the pain I suffered, but wears my face. Let’s see what he does with it. Because me? I’m done with this life, so to the soul who took over my body...

Discord Link for those interested [https://discord.gg/TGc9yymDJP] One may think that in order to be a Hero you must have a pure soul, and untainted heart, but in reality such a thing is impossible; now one's soul is pure, nor is anyone's heart untainted, Gods aren't even exempt from this rule. No, a True Hero is someone who knows they have an impure soul and tainted heart, yet they embrace it, instead of attempting to deny their very nature; however, not all True Heros are the same, some have different beliefs and/or ideals. Yet at the end of the day, no matter how terrible or bleak the situation looks, you can always count on a True Hero to act as a beacon of light that'll show you the correct path, but for you to take, you must embark on it yourself.

Awakening and Academy Arc (Ep 1–6): Hayashi is enrolled in a magical academy for elite fighters, where he meets Iris, Sylvia, Reinhardt, and Avelis.

Hayashi collapses after using forbidden magic, and Reinhardt disappears. The clone gazes at the sky, questioning her own existence. Somewhere far away, Demon King Alfred smiles… for this was just the beginning. --- I have made this just for practice. The official version will come soon

"You shouldn't have crossed this line, Avery, if you didn't want it to be like this." a sturdy arm wrapped around her swaying body. Her head grew hazy, and an intentional, hot sigh escaped her lips. 'How the hell did I get myself into this situation?' Avery thought, her mind spinning.

Gods want to use him. But Kael? He just wants to fight like hell — limp or not. “I don’t need to run. I only need to swing.”
