Bloodborne Puppet

[When Prejudice Collides with Fate: Whose Trap Is This Mismatched Marriage?] Qin Ran had always believed that a man still trapped in the arranged-marriage circus at thirty must be either emotionally stunted or physically defective. But the universe had a wicked sense of humor—because the man waiting at Table 11 was a walking contradiction. Lu Sheng was a paradox of elegance and danger. His charcoal suit sculpted a body built for both boardrooms and back-alley brawls. When his gaze locked onto hers, the sharp lines of his face seemed to carve shadows into the air, the room suddenly heavy with the scent of cedar and unspoken threats. “I’m sorry, I think I’ve mistaken the table—” “Sit.” His voice cracked like a whip, freezing her mid-retreat. The glint of his platinum watch mirrored her death grip on the handbag strap. “If we’re both puppets in this family farce… let’s at least make it mutually beneficial.” Three days later, the marriage certificate seared her palm like a brand. She’d told herself this was a calculated escape from her brother’s suffocating household—until their wedding night, when the fresh scar snaking across his ribs screamed of bullets, not business deals. And when Lu Sheng shrugged off his shirt, water sluicing down the defined ridges of his abdomen, his smirk was pure sin: “Clause Three of our contract, Mrs. Lu—no coveting Party A’s assets.” She backed him against the glass wall, her fingers skating over the corded muscle of his spine. “Mr. Lu… does that clause include your six-pack?” [High-Stakes Romance | Marriage of Convenience | Enemies-to-Forced-Allies] — A billionaire with a bulletproof reputation and a vault of secrets. — A razor-tongued medical intern with a talent for unearthing truths. As lies ignite and bullets fly, only one rule remains: In this game of hearts and gunpowder, the first to fall… loses everything.

On the night of Finnian and Luthera's wedding, Kamrion is attacked by a creature seemingly born from the most perverse and unnatural schools of magic. After the attack, Finn and Luthera hesitantly form an alliance, agreeing to combine their respective abilities and find the people responsible for the creatures' creation. Allied with them are Finn's siblings, Kaius and Gertrude along with the Veiled Ones, Kamrion's network of spies who operate separately from the affairs and influence of the crown.

In a world where love is a luxury and betrayal is a currency, Celeste Moreau has only one goal—revenge. A decade ago, her family was massacred in cold blood, leaving her as the sole survivor. The name whispered in the shadows as the mastermind? Rafael De Luca—the heir to the empire that destroyed her life. For years, Celeste has sharpened herself into a weapon, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Now, that moment has arrived. She infiltrates Rafael’s world, slipping into his life like a phantom, seducing him with a smile while plotting his downfall. But there’s one thing she never accounted for—the way he makes her feel.

Their passion is explosive, their connection undeniable, but every moment she spends with him threatens to unravel the vengeance she has built her life upon. Then the first betrayal strikes.

Now, Celeste and Rafael are caught in a deadly game where one wrong move means death.

Azriel Votex thought it was nothing more than a peculiar book—half-finished, strangely evocative, and littered with characters that felt far too real. But the deeper he read, the more the lines blurred. The names, the events, even the emotions—it was as if the story had been watching him all along. And then came the cruel twist. He wasn’t just a reader. He was inside the story. Not as the hero. Not even as a side character. But as the villain—a doomed antagonist written to fall, lose everything, and be cast aside to glorify the protagonists But Azriel is no puppet, and he refuses to be another tragic casualty in a hero’s journey. Cold, calculating, and unshackled by the morals that bind others, he begins to unravel the story from within. No thunderous confrontations, no grand declarations—only quiet corruption. He turns fate on its head through whispered words, subtle glances, and meticulously placed fractures in the relationships around the golden protagonist. He doesn’t need a sword to draw blood—only a smile and a well-placed truth. The childhood friend who once looked at Riven with affection now hesitates. The shy girl who was meant to bloom by the hero’s side begins to lean toward someone else. And every moment of doubt, every stolen heartbeat, becomes another thread in the unraveling narrative. Azriel becomes the silent architect of emotional ruin—twisting love into longing, loyalty into suspicion, and light into shadow. But as he manipulates the world’s balance, he starts to sense something deeper lurking beneath the surface. The story isn’t as hollow as it seemed. The roles may already be shifting. And the author’s hand might still be writing, watching, waiting. Because in this game of broken destinies, who truly holds the pen? Is Azriel the villain rewriting the script… or the next piece being written into tragedy? --- Tags: Villain MC, Antihero Protagonist, Psychological Warfare, Subtle Manipulation, Heroine Stealing, Dark Fantasy, Rewritten Fate, Intelligent MC, Emotional Sabotage, Love Triangle, Cold and Calculated MC, Morally Grey Characters, Betrayal and Obsession, Tragedy-Flavored Romance, Power Dynamics, Twisted Relationships, Reverse Narrative, Unreliable Destiny, Shadow Politics, Story Within a Story, Dark Academia Vibes, R18, Yandere ---

Even if he couldn’t get his hands on him, at the very least, he could undermine all the nonsense that was written in his book! Whether would he really be this mentally handicapped as described in the book remained a mystery, but please could someone explain the rest of the book to him? Those madmen! Those Degenerated Gongs!

The most mysterious of them all were Spirit Mancers, a truth that Theron was more than intimately familiar with. Due to one's Tribulation, his life was turned upside down. His family, his rage, his somber sadness becoming nothing more than Bad Karma's fuel for a madman. He was once a gentle young man, a non-combative Water Mancer who wanted nothing more than to read his novels to the sound of the rain and one day become an Imperial Scholar. But now... Everything had changed. He donned a cloak in the silent night as the clouds above gathered. Pulling its hood over his chilling blue eyes, he stalked off into the darkness. The first droplets fell. He would become the nightmare of his enemies, the blade hidden in the shadows of Heaven's tears. The River of the Night.

Zhou Dao transmigrated to a world where demons rampaged and Daoist laws ruled. His sect was in straitened circumstances, and their property was on the brink of being demolished. Desperate, Zhou Dao had his eyes fixed on the coffin of the sect’s Grandmaster and decided to do something with it. A voice rang, “D*mn! You are actually plotting to steal my skull. With your attitude, Sunset Mountain has a chance of reaching its heyday again!” On that very night, the corpse of the Grandmaster moved!

"It's not just a game, it's a living breathing world and we are his puppets." Teo barked. With the beta version of the new game now finished, the beta testers wait for the official launch of the game. With the official launch of the game more people are sucked into its virtual world, what sets Neon Solaris apart from other games is it's unique party system. With only the beta testers knowing the horrors the games provide, uncertainty grows. Death in the game could also mean death in the real world. What started as a massive multiplayer game becomes a prison created by a sadistic being. Matteo finished the beta tester as the top ranked player- NOBLE ZERO, but even he failed to get a grasp of it's true reality. Clearing the final level might be the only way out of the game and he is intent on building the strongest party and reach the final level at all costs and achieve the title of master gamer. A/N: This book relies on gaming elements and diverse character developments as well as a unique party system. If you are tired of simple mmorpg books then this might be a good read. There might also be some light humour and some other elements like darker plots and tragic backstories. Also the MC is not exactly overpowered or a hero, he is a somewhat sadistic antihero who cares only about becoming the game master. At all costs. I will be trying my best to make this book the best it can be in quality and release frequency.

Everything was going according to plan—until my life was turned upside down. I had just graduated from university and was ready to start my career, fulfilling both my goals and those of my parents. But then, disaster struck. —— Creation of the World—a game that grants its user the ability to control a limitless world, with the power to create and destroy anything without restriction. Cassian watched helplessly as Earth was consumed by the world he had built. Unable to intervene, he suddenly found himself in a body that wasn’t his own. Cassian Starhold—the older brother of the world’s greatest hero. —— I was content with my life as a puppet, a slave whose only purpose was to toil away, sacrificing everything for a few worthless scraps of metal. But my enemies couldn’t leave me in peace. They brought war to my doorstep and destroyed everything I had spent my life building. I stood among thousands of their strongest sons, as they listened to the man who had ignited the fire in my life. Towering and imposing, he spoke from atop majestic marble columns, his gray hair blending with the crowd. Thousands of people, all sharing his features, gazed up at him with eyes filled with admiration and ambition. “People are not equal!” he declared, his voice dripping with arrogance. “We are the pinnacle of evolution! There is nothing beyond us! We have risen above piles of inferior blood, leaving massacres in our wake. And now, you are about to inherit this legacy.” He paused, surveying the crowd below with cold pride. “But this power must be earned. It is not granted by birth. Wealth, power, status… these things demand mountains of victims just to catch a glimpse of them.” His arms stretched wide, madness and pride gleaming in his eyes, and the crowd mirrored him, thousands roaring with fervent pride. The sight was terrifying. “You have no idea what your ancestors sacrificed to put you here. But you will learn. And I swear to you, with my pride on the line…” “Only those worthy of us will survive!” "Soon, I will show you why we are called dragons!" What these so-called dragons don’t know… is that a puppet will rise to shatter their illusions. He’s wrong. None of them will survive. ====== Author's Note: As you can see from the tags, the MC will eventually become a villain, but not at the beginning—and not even within the first three arcs. I'll take the time to carefully build his character and develop his transformation in a way that feels natural and logical. His ultimate goal is to return to his original family, so he harbors a deep hatred for the world he’s been pulled into. This novel will explore darker themes like slavery, murder, mind control, and betrayal. However, it will not contain R-18 content, so if that’s what you’re looking for, you might want to reconsider. The MC won’t be OP from the start, nor the smartest, but he will quickly gain experience and grow.

I am Rafayel Lior Dowan—a name that once echoed in a hospital room where I spent my life trapped by illness. Each day felt the same, a dull cycle of pain and longing. I watched as others lived freely, while I remained stuck in bed, dependent on machines. My heart grew bitter as I cursed the god who allowed my suffering. In a moment of desperation, I demanded justice, and the god answered my curse—my life support failed during a power outage, and I slipped away into darkness. When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a strange, beautiful realm filled with swirling colors and bright lights. Before me stood a goddess, radiant yet intimidating. With a voice like thunder, she gave me incredible powers but took away all my memories. My past, my pain, my very identity—gone in an instant. I was to be a god, but a god without a soul. As she cast me into the void, the weight of my new existence pressed down on me. Even though I had divine abilities, I felt empty inside. I was a puppet in a game I didn’t choose. Yet, deep within, a spark of defiance ignited. The goddess may have erased my memories, but she could not snuff out my desire for revenge. In this new world, I wielded power beyond imagination. I could shape reality, control elements, and influence the lives of mortals. But I felt like a hollow shell, drifting through a beautiful yet chaotic landscape. With each act of creation, pieces of my former self began to emerge—a shared laugh, a shed tear, a lost love. The goddess had underestimated the strength of the human spirit. Determined to reclaim my past, I set out on a quest. Along the way, I met friends and foes, each encounter revealing bits of my life. I began to uncover the truth about the goddess—a being who thrived on the suffering of others, a manipulator who enjoyed the chaos she created. With each memory I regained, my resolve grew stronger. I would not be a pawn in her game; I would become the master of my destiny. The goddess may have thrown me into darkness, but I would rise as a powerful force. The day would come when I would confront her, not as the lost soul she made, but as the god I was meant to be. And on that day, she would truly understand the meaning of revenge.

In the year 2045, a great calamity struck the Earth. Rifts tore open across the world, and from these rifts emerged creatures that once existed only in myths and legends. Chaos followed, and humanity was pushed to the brink of destruction. Yet, even in the darkest of times, the ray of hope is always present. Awakeners! People who awakened a strange mark known as a "Stigma." This mark granted its bearer two unique skills based on their destiny. The destiny of a Hero was highly sought after, and it was the destiny that granted the most overpowered stigmas. Meanwhile, the destiny of a Human was the most common. Though not as powerful as Heroes, Destiny of Human granted adaptable and varieties of Stigmas. But Sven Weber didn’t awaken any of the two. The golden window that appeared before his eyes was the destiny of a Villain.
