In my dying moment, I realized I was an extra in a novel with just one line. Resurrected, I resolved to survive before worrying about the original story. Destined to be the villain’s cruel madness, my medicine against it… His blue eyes sparkled fiercely. “Wish to die?” ‘No, I want to live.’ On the brink of collapse, I wrapped my trembling hands around the man’s neck. “Haah…” Insanity. His breath felt exhilarating. Is it perverse to find his breath refreshing? Wiping the drool off my lips, I gazed up at him dazedly. His madness overflowing, his handsome appearance belied his impending doom as the villain. Perfect. Just stick around and return home… But life never goes as planned. When did the once ice-cold man start to change, shedding his iron walls to become temptingly wicked? “Shall we get engaged?” He lifted my hand, kissing it deeply. “Why, why are you doing this?” “Where do you think you’re going without me?” He tilted his head slightly, flashing a sly smile. My face reddened, and his lips curled mischievously. Aren’t you an extra too? Why act like the male lead! I only needed the madness as a cure, but now I’m entangled with the villain, destined to vanish before the original story begins.

Genre: Dark Fantasy / Psychological Horror / Survival Game Themes: Existential dread, demonic pacts, fractured reality "You already asked for this." When red doors materialize worldwide, humanity is given no choice: step through or be erased. Those who enter find themselves in The Crucible—a hellish game dimension ruled by the demon Ezazrael and his hierarchy of Goetic nobles. Here, the rules are simple: Survive 66 days. Collect Soul Shards (from challenges or other players). Bargain, betray, or become part of the scenery. Our protagonist, a self-destructive nihilist already haunted by glitches in reality, discovers they’re "The Anomaly"—a bug in the system capable of warping the game’s fabric. But their power comes at a cost: the deeper they delve, the more they remember this isn’t their first cycle. As factions form (Contractors who serve demons, Glitched seers, and Architects who design torturous levels), the protagonist must confront the truth: The Crucible isn’t just a test. It’s a filter. Lucifer is rebuilding Earth, and only the cruelest or cleverest will be allowed to exist in the new world. To end the game, they must face Ezazrael—but the demon only smiles and repeats: "You invited me. Now, let’s see if you can win what you truly asked for."

Discord:https://discord.gg/4VbkEBRmNc What would you do if you reincarnated into a doomed novel? Would you rely on a system to get stronger? Steal the protagonist’s opportunities? Kill your future enemies before they even rise? I had none of those options. I only read the free chapters. No cheats. No system. No future knowledge. But that doesn’t mean I’ll wait for death. If the world won’t give me a way to win—I’ll just carve one with my own hands. * * * * * Note: R18 isn't for detailed sexual content, but for dark theme, gore and all.

I was bitter when I wrote my first novel. It became a bestseller in its genre, not because readers loved it but because they hated it. The story was about a guy who had every advantage known to man, but would still lose no matter what. I don't know why someone would read crap like that but many did, perhaps in hopes that it'll have a happy ending. Spoiler alert: It didn't. And someone killed me for it. I, who didn't know any better, thought that was it, and now I would go to the afterlife, most likely hell. Instead, I found myself in the body of my story's hero: A hero doomed to all hell. —————— Hey, DrAGOn here! Just wanted to say thank you for reading so far. I will be uploading daily; the chapter length is approximately 1.3k words, and it will grow in size over time. The first chapters, the first 10 or so, are somewhat of an information dump. Sorry about that, but I am not very experienced. It gets better after I swear!

"They asked me what Codex Sanctus truly is. It is a chronicle of souls etched in defiance, a whisper against the thunder of creation's grand design. My father's story, and hers, is but a testament to love forged in the crucible of impossible choices. We often believe that 'where there is a will, there is a way,' but some paths are already drawn, lines too ancient to be erased. This is a journey through shadows to grasp a light that may, in the end, extinguish your own. What is salvation, truly, when it demands the very essence of what makes one human? And does love triumph over all, or merely reveal the unbearable weight of what is lost? Perhaps, when all is said and done, the greatest strength lies not in changing the currents, but in how one chooses to drown." Humbly, Snow

"Some sons inherit wealth. Others inherit power. Doom inherited blood—and the ghost of a mother who never let death stop her from shaping him into something monstrous." Raised by a merciless criminal, Doom’s childhood was a litany of broken bones and brutal lessons. His father didn’t raise a child—he forged a weapon. Weakness was sin. Mercy was betrayal. And love? A fairy tale whispered by a dead woman in grainy home videos.  But the dead don’t always stay silent.  Ainar—his mother, a legend of violence and seduction—speaks to him from beyond the grave. Her voice slithers into his fractured mind, teaching him the art of ruin: how to break bones with precision, how to turn pleasure into a weapon, how to make the world bleed for him. With every whispered lesson, Doom becomes less of a man and more of a force—something unholy, something hers.  Yet as his father watches with cold approval, Doom begins to wonder: Is Ainar’s ghost real, or is she just the madness of a soul shattered by brutality? And does it even matter, when her guidance feels like the only truth he’s ever known?  Is will they be salvation, No, maybe in the next life.
