The Queen'S Gambit Sub Indo

One night. That’s all it took for Alvin’s world to shatter under the full moon’s glow. In a single, blood-soaked evening, he lost everything—his loved ones, his humanity, and nearly his life, left impaled with a stake through his stomach. But Alvin refused to die. He chose survival—even if it meant no longer being human. Now, as his blood begins to change, his body shifting into one of a vampire, something bad happens again. His ritual to transform was sabotaged by an unknown force, the changes it brought remained hidden deep inside of him. All Alvin wants is to live—and maybe, just maybe, enjoy his favorite garlic bread again. But why did everything about him feel so suspicious, like it all pointed to an impending doom? Where did this sense of danger come from?

When Aleister wakes up in the body of Leonis Von Vain, the estranged older brother of a minor heroine in a novel he once read, he immediately realizes he’s in trouble. The novel, Chronicles of the Arcane Blade, followed a commoner protagonist who entered an elite academy and built a harem while growing into a powerful swordsman and mage. It was an enjoyable read, except for the fact that the protagonist was too naive, making countless mistakes along the way. But the real problem? Leonis was only briefly mentioned in the original story. A forgotten character with a tragic fate, he was once a prodigy who was expected to be the heir of the Von Vain family, only for him to get Black Magic which is considered to be a curse and forbidden, Leonis was branded as a dangerous outcast, disowned by his noble family, and later killed off-screen. Meanwhile, his younger sister, Selene Von Vain, possessed a rare affinity for spirit contracts but had a strained relationship with her entire family, including Leonis. However, fate gives him an advantage he had transmigrated years before the main plot begins. Armed with knowledge of the story’s future events, Leonis refuses to meet his doomed fate. If the world sees him as a villain for wielding Black Magic, then so be it. He’ll carve his own path, strengthen himself before the protagonist’s rise, and ensure his sister does not suffer the same neglect and isolation. As he delves deeper into his newfound abilities, Leonis soon realizes that his magic is far more powerful than the world believes and that his very existence might change the story’s course entirely. But with powerful factions watching his every move, spirits drawn to his presence, and the protagonist’s harem members showing unexpected interest in him… can he truly escape the shadow of fate? One thing is certain—this time, the forgotten brother will not be cast aside.

Ryu Tanaka, a pro gamer, rage-quits a buggy RPG only to wake up inside it after a freak power surge. He’s in Valdris, a world where the “System 2.0” is glitched to hell: kill a dragon, get a rusty spoon; cast a spell, summon a fart cloud. Worse, his class—“Glitch Knight”—comes with a sentient sword, Snarkfang, that roasts him mid-battle. Ryu’s stuck with a misfit party: a klepto healer, a berserker scared of blood, and a bard who only knows polka. Together, they exploit the bugs—crashing quests for loot, stacking debuffs into buffs—to overthrow the Admin King, a dev-turned-god patching the world to trap them. Victory means escaping back to Earth—or rewriting Valdris into their playground.

While some demons leave the barren land in search of better life in other planes others are bound to it unable to permanently separate themselves from Ketharion.

Accused of murdering his own family for power,even though he denied it he was eventually betrayed and executed, his name forever stained in history. But death was not his end.

He served under two queens, first Queen Elizabeth I and later Queen Elizabeth II, dedicating his life to the monarchy and his country.
