Severin Reignhart was just an ordinary reader and gamer—until a truck accident sent him into the world of Legacy of Heroes, a novel he had once read. But instead of becoming the protagonist or even a powerful villain, he finds himself reborn as a complete nobody. An extra with no screen time, no future, and worst of all… no real strength. His so-called Talent Ability—Command—doesn’t make him stronger. Instead, it grants a 300% boost to the abilities of those who are bound to him and follow his orders. A powerful buff, but utterly useless when he is weaker than even the lowest-ranked students at Zenith Hero Academy. Thrown into a world where strength is the only law, Severin quickly learns that if he can’t fight, he’ll be crushed. Refusing to accept the fate of an extra, he turns to manipulation, deception, and blackmail, using his intelligence to twist the battlefield in his favor. If he can’t be the strongest, he’ll control the strongest. With the looming threat of world-ending catastrophes and prodigious heroes destined to take center stage, Severin must navigate the deadly hierarchy of the academy. He will recruit, betray, and outwit both heroes and villains—because in a world where power is everything, strategy is his only weapon. And one thing is certain: he refuses to die a nameless extra.

In the world of cultivation, countless tales follow righteous protagonists, fated heroes blessed by destiny, or those chosen by heaven to walk the path of immortality. But what of those who stand in their way? What of the villains? The so-called obstacles to the hero’s journey—do they not bleed, dream, and struggle as well? Xiao Ning was never meant to succeed. From the very beginning, the Grand Dao wove him as a stepping stone—a necessary sacrifice to elevate another. His path, like that of all designated ‘villains,’ was doomed to failure by design. But what happens when that design is defied? After death, Xiao Ning awakens—not in the cycle of reincarnation, but in the cold silence beyond it. There, he is offered the Eternal Paradox Codex—a forbidden artifact containing the hidden truths of the Grand Dao System itself. Rules. Loopholes. Vulnerabilities. Knowledge not meant for those like him. With this power, Xiao Ning is granted a single, impossible choice: accept oblivion, or step outside the Grand Dao entirely—to abandon fate, sever karma, and cultivate a path unbound by heaven or law. It is Xiao Ning’s journey, from ashes to something beyond comprehension. Not to become an Immortal among men. But something even the heavens dare not bind. If fate is a chain… Then let him forge his own path in the void beyond. Welcome to this humble tale. The cultivation world is vast and unkind. Let us begin again—on our terms.

Waking up in an unfamiliar world with no memories, I had only one advantage—a mind filled with knowledge of fictional tropes, clichés, and common sense learned from countless novels. At first, I thought I was trapped in a romcom nightmare when I started triggering events like "Helping a Girl on a Rainy Day", "Damsel in Distress", and "Tripping Into the Heroine’s Arms." Naturally, I shut those nonsense down before they could escalate. No forced romances. No misunderstandings. No cringe. But something was clearly off. The world wasn’t just a slice-of-life comedy. Beneath the cliché academy setting, there were whispers of awakening powers, hidden dangers, and a brutal magic academy entrance exam. And every challenge I prevented or manipulated was an opportunity to grow stronger. [Title Earned: Background Character.] [Achievement Unlocked: Firm Mind.] [New Skill Acquired: Background Character's Aura.] [New Ability Acquired: Anti-Narrative Influence.] I may be just a background character, but if fate insists on throwing these events at me, I’ll turn them into stepping stones. Let the protagonists play their scripted roles—I have my own path to power.

An Extra is a minor background character with little to no influence on the main story. Their purpose is to fill out scenes and represent the larger world in which the story takes place. Yet, One Extra defied its existence. One Extra destroyed the story. ******** Luke, an editor, was transmigrated into the story with one goal: "Kill The Extra." _____________________________________ Join the Discord Server: https://discord.gg/vEJMvfGuUY

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. Welcome to hell. __________________ Additional Tags. #TransmigrationNovel #ClassAwakening #MagicAndMonsters #MorallyGrayProtagonist #SarcasticMC #VillainMCVibes #DarkHumorFantasy #SecondLife #HiddenIdentity #MysteriousAwakening #AlienInvasionFantasy #PoliticalIntrigue #PowerHierarchy #OverpoweredExtra #FantasyWithModernTwist #MagicAcademyWorld #WittyMC #CunningMC #ArrogantGenius #SlowBurnRomance ____________________ [Discord Server -https://discord.gg/Pu5JUj75VR ]

In the crumbling, magic-forsaken empire of Veridia, where ancient cathedrals stand as skeletal monuments to a forgotten age, a clandestine war brews beneath the surface. Magic, once the lifeblood of the land, is now a forbidden whisper, hunted down by the zealous Inquisition. Yet, in the shadowed alleys and forgotten crypts, secret cults dedicated to the old ways thrive, their illicit rituals a desperate plea for power in a world stripped bare. Our protagonist, a young and resourceful smuggler, navigates this treacherous landscape, his survival dependent on his wits and his ability to slip through the cracks of imperial law. Drawn into the dangerous currents of Veridia's hidden magical underworld, he finds himself ensnared in a confrontation far grander and more perilous than any he has faced before. One fateful midnight, within the hallowed, decaying walls of a crumbling cathedral, he comes face-to-face with a high priestess of a forbidden cult. This encounter is not merely a clash of wills, but a collision of ideologies, a spark that threatens to ignite the smoldering embers of rebellion and expose the empire's deepest, darkest secrets. As the ancient stones bear witness, the smuggler must choose between self-preservation and a desperate gamble for a world yearning for the return of its lost magic. Key Themes: Forbidden Magic vs. Oppressive Authority Decay and Rebirth Survival and Rebellion The Allure and Danger of Power Moral Ambiguity Target Audience: Readers who enjoy atmospheric dark fantasy, gothic settings, and stories with complex moral dilemmas and high stakes.

By the turn of the 21st century, cheating had become a global epidemic. Students from every background and corner of the world found ways to bend the rules just to pass their exams. For years, governments turned a blind eye—until the problem became impossible to ignore. In response, the United Nations took an unprecedented step: the creation of the International School for Cheaters (ISC). These specialized institutions were designed to reform the very students who had been caught cheating. But more than that, they trained them to become experts at identifying and catching others who slipped through the cracks—those who cheated without ever getting caught. Seventeen-year-old Jaden enters the ISC hoping for a fresh start and a typical college experience. But he quickly discovers that at this school, cheating isn’t just a problem—it’s a curriculum. And the line between game and reality is far thinner than he ever imagined. Notes: This book is set on the Island of Barbados it's a country in the Caribbean. Culpeper island which is the Island the ISC is built on exist in real life, but it's much smaller island to the southeast of Barbados. Infact its more like a rock in the water but it has vegetation and it isn't attached to the main island so it's considered an island. The island in the book is bigger and sits further out to sea. But it is still apart of Barbados. The citizens on the island are called Barbadians with a majority black population however there's a significant amount of clear skin people.

Stuff I'm gonna try to put in a game I design. Please help out and pitch in ideas for me.

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.”

You have to leave yourself behind to survive what is coming. Thrown into a brutal, alien world of monsters, gods, and ancient powers, Matthew is forced to fight to grow stronger. Caught in the twisted designs of Sunbird, an organisation bent on reshaping reality, he must learn fast—or die forgotten. Kill to grow stronger. Learn to survive. Matthew must discover a side of himself capable of braving the madness—and coming out on top. As nightmarish trials unfold, and as worlds and separate realities open before his eyes, he must come to terms with what has happened, and who he will become, as the future and past become mere directions. Hunted by gods, demons, and entities that have ruled since the dawn of time, he must walk the road that leads above and beyond. The path that goes below—and beyond the edge of sight.

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?

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.

She was Just a blur in the background of someone else's life. Now she’s gone — and so is everything he thought was his. A love story, or a perfect heist? You decide.

It’s a novel about Valdrith Valmere adopted son of king and Queen of Valmere but having truly hidden background

When celebrated forensic psychologist Dr. Olivia Harper returns to Boston to consult on a series of architectural "accidents," she expects cracked beams and clever saboteurs—not a trail of bodies staged with surgical precision. Then she meets Ethan Caldwell, a haunted preservation architect whose blueprints are being replicated and weaponized by a killer who knows his past a little too well. Each site isn't just structurally compromised—it’s personally significant. Someone is reconstructing trauma, one restored building at a time. As Olivia and Ethan work to decode century-old blueprints, a chilling pattern emerges: every death mimics a hidden detail in Ethan’s own abandoned designs. And the saboteur? They may be closer to Olivia than she realizes. Just when they think they’ve uncovered the final piece, the entire foundation of the case—and their trust in each other—comes crashing.

A nameless orphan is bound to never achieve much, or so he thought. His life changes with a simple message telling him he has been drafted. With the designation '4' his new life begins though he might wish it hadn't.

The world awakens, dungeons form, animals and plants mutate, the gods spectate the world's happenings and find people they think are interesting, and humans gain powers and systems that are tailored to them (They're all the same thing, just with different designs). The usual stuff. It just so happens that our main character's version of the system is, for better or lack of words...flawed. --- Disclaimer: NSFW content will be marked accordingly: N+ for 18+, N- for darker themes, and N for a mix of both.
