Crab Grip Screw

Being able to see into people's past has no real appeal for the teenager this story is about, letting him use it only as amusement and to show off when he was drunk. Never watch into someone's past beyond a superficial level. Never try to find out more than you should. NEVER. EVER. LOOK. INTO. THE. FUTURE. But everything changed the moment he was forced to look into the future, was forced to investigate a murder, and was forced to make the acquaintance of the victim's twin brother('s fists). The more time passed, the more it appeared that the primary reason for this murder wasn't a local problem, but a global one. This single, marred corpse was the beginning of a threat that would shake the world.

In the world of Eternal Rose, an otome game filled with noble drama, romance, and powerful love interests, one character is destined to be nothing more than an early stepping stone—the arrogant young noble, Veyron Delacroix. He’s a mid-tier villain, a disgrace to his family, and worst of all… a tutorial boss meant to die before the heroine even meets the real threats. —Or at least, that’s how it was supposed to go. Reincarnated as Veyron just days before his scripted defeat, he quickly realizes the developers gave him insane hidden potential, only for it to go completely unused in the actual game. His latent vampire bloodline, an ability to steal powers by drinking blood, and his insane combat skills? All wasted because the plot demanded he die early. So what does he do? Screw the script. He’s out. Ditching the noble life, he vanishes into the world, doing whatever the hell he wants—from hunting monsters, stealing forbidden magic, and maybe accidentally creating a criminal empire along the way. Meanwhile, the game’s heroine is left confused as hell when she arrives at his supposed defeat event, only to find her “destined enemy” missing. With broken potential, a foul mouth, and zero interest in playing by the rules, Veyron is about to turn this romantic noble drama into an absolute power fantasy disaster—and he’s going to enjoy every second of it. Because if fate wanted him dead, he’ll just become strong enough to flip fate the middle finger.

"When you think everything is going well, the world will flip you the middle finger." __ I had a fantastic life: a loving family, amazing friends, a stable job... I had it all. But that wasn’t everything—I was also a writer. Writing was my passion, and my novel *'The Land of Survival'* had achieved remarkable success... Little did I know back then that it would become the very reason my life would be turned upside down. I was reborn inside my own novel, and to make things worse... inside the body of the utterly despised villain, *'Fray.'* That pathetic villain who dies right at the start. If the novel had 100 possible outcomes, he’d die in 99 of them... and I’m not exaggerating. But who cares about that? I don’t want this life... I already had everything... Save me the cliché of second chances... because one life is enough for me. Screw this world, and screw the son of a bitch who brought me here , I’ll find a way back to my world... to my life... no matter what it takes."

Dying at the hands of the Alpha King after being falsely accused, publicly humiliated, and manipulated into madness? Yeah, that’s not on her to-do list. Armed with a sharp tongue that could flay egos, the street smarts of a broke college grad, and the petty audacity of someone with nothing left to lose, Lidia decides she was ripping up the script. Holier-than-thou saintesses? Screw ’em. Self-righteous alphas? They can eat dirt. If this world insists on casting her as the villain, she’s going to own it—on her terms.

Villainesses don’t play nice, and Lidia is just getting started.

Crab OG author : 喝一杯红酒 OG title : 游戏制作：从治愈玩家开始 Chen Xu travelled to a parallel world and was surprised to find that many classic and excellent games from his previous life were missing. I had a plan, but why did I get an 'emotion collection system', and the emotions such as happiness, sadness, excitement, fear, anger and other emotions provided by players who have played the games I made can make me stronger? But why is it so much easier to get anger than happiness? Looking at his score, Chen Xu expressed his confusion. As a result, Chen Xu's career as a game designer gradually took a turn for the worse. In Undertale, countless players pounded the table and screamed: I was cheated by this game! In Outlast, countless players screamed, my cabinet moved and I stopped playing.

Facing the reporter's question, Chen Xu smiled slightly: This isn’t criticism, this is encouragement from players around the world to me, this is love! Thank you all, I will keep up the good work!

Winne Auston tightened her grip on the glass of bourbon, her nails pressing against the cool surface. The soft hum of jazz music filled the dimly lit lounge, the kind of place where secrets felt safe. She was waiting, as he instructed. Adam Sly was never late.

Superpowers, well, those exist in every being, but they can be rather... weak. So, to get powerful -- I mean truly powerful -- one would have to call on the ones who gave the powers to begin with. And with that ecstasy and strength that follows, there is an ensuing price that must be paid. The price, being rather extreme, forced the superhumans to adapt and create a way to stop these traumatic deaths, thus introducing an academy. But the ones who gave the power, they want to see superhumans in pain and so they try to tempt these superhuman students. They fail often, but with the superhumans they succeed with, it leaves them smiling. And once they have a grip on this superhuman, the process is irreversible, unless… there was someone who reached to the power beyond them.
