I M Not The Hero The World Wants

I had nothing left to live for. No family. No friends. No future. Just a shattered soul wandering through a world that had already taken everything. Then I died. And that’s when everything changed. I woke in a world of light. A void between realms. A place where gods whisper and broken souls wait to be judged. There, I met Ashen Crimson—a man who had once been worshipped, then feared, and finally cursed by the very gods he had defied. A tyrant who had destroyed his own world. But now, he’s offering me something terrifying: His life. His past. His power. His chance to make things right. The catch? The world of Zerawell is fractured. Ashen’s name is soaked in blood. His fate is sealed—exile, ruin, and eternal hatred. And now, it’s my name. Because I’ve been reborn as Ashen Crimson, heir to a house that both reveres and reviles me. A noble with dormant shadow magic, a shattered reputation, and a cursed destiny I never asked for. But I’ve lived a life of pain. I’ve walked alone through hell already. And I won’t follow his footsteps into madness. With a divine system familiar in my soul, a second chance burning in my chest, and the memories of a monster as my burden— I will rewrite this fate. Let them call me villain, disgrace, or traitor. I didn’t choose this story. But I’ll finish it. Even if it kills me.

Aric, after being chosen to be one of the four heroes by the Empire, tried to defend the Demon Lord with the other heroes but failed.

Li Tian trusted the wrong people — and died with a knife in his chest, betrayed by his best friend and the woman he thought he loved. But death was only the beginning. He wakes up in a world of ancient clans, ruthless sects, and immortal cultivators — reborn as the disgraced heir of the once-mighty Li Clan. This time, there’s no room for loyalty or mercy. Bound to the mysterious Villain System, Li Tian’s only path to survival is to embrace what the world fears most: becoming the villain everyone whispers about in the dark. Every mission pushes him deeper into infamy — humiliating rivals, destroying geniuses, shattering clans from the inside out. One wrong move and the System will erase him completely. One moment of weakness and the vultures waiting in the shadows will tear him apart. But Li Tian isn’t the naive fool he once was. He’ll play the villain they fear — and he’ll make the entire cultivation world kneel for daring to betray him twice. Betrayal. Power. Revenge. A System that rewards cruelty. Read on if you dare — and watch the rise of the villain who refuses to die quietly.

Raymond Greene spent his final years in silence, paralyzed and discarded in a rundown rest home. A freak accident during a storm sent his broken body into the road—and straight into the path of a truck. But instead of oblivion, Raymond awakens before the stars themselves, greeted by a voice offering him three choices: eternal paradise, a second chance at life, or the call to defend a dying world. He chooses to fight. Reborn in a realm of swords, sorcery, and ancient secrets, Raymond finds himself in a land under siege by Vladimir, a necromancer whose shadow army swells with every soul he reaps. Empires are crumbling. Hope is dying. But the world has prayed for salvation—and what it got was a broken man with a warrior’s heart, divine power, and the training of a SWAT legend. With every clash of steel and strike of magic, Raymond must navigate a world of scheming nobles, forgotten prophecies, and monstrous creatures from the void. If he fails, the necromancer won't just conquer this world—he’ll claim the next one, too. The afterlife can wait. There's evil to destroy.

Jinwoo Park — not Sung — was a guy who had nothing going for him except his knack for being a total jerk. Kicked out of his house for being, well, a pretty terrible person, he had nowhere to go but the convenience store where he worked. Life was miserable, and his only escape was finding ways to make people’s lives harder. But then, one day, something changed. In a world full of awakeners and chaos, Jinwoo was suddenly given powers that turned his life on its head. From broke and despised to rich and powerful–still despised, he now had everything he thought he ever wanted. But, deep down, there was still that insatiable hunger for more — more money, more power, more chaos. Now, armed with abilities he doesn’t fully understand, Jinwoo’s hunger for wealth knows no bounds. The convenience store? That was just his starting point. The world is his playground, and he’s not stopping until he has it all. He might as well save the world too. warning ⚠️: it's cringy --------------------------- This book is a work of fiction.

On a bright Tuesday morning, a monster was born. Or perhaps... a demon? The sound of a newborn's cry tore through the sterile halls of the hospital, piercing the quiet like a curse. Lights above flickered violently, reacting to the sudden surge of electricity that pulsed through the building—unexplained, and oh-so-absolutely unsettling. “Liu Xian…” the mother whispered, her voice barely a breath, her eyelids fluttering as darkness pulled at her. But she fought it, clinging to life for just one reason—to name the child that had stolen her last breath. Her lips trembled into a faint smile. “We’ll call him Liu Xian…” Her hand reached out weakly, trembling as it brushed the tiny bundle swaddled in white—then fell, limp, lifeless, against the blood-soaked sheets. The father stood frozen, cradling the child in arms that didn’t feel like his own. His wife’s blood still clung to the infant’s skin, seeping into the fabric of his clothes like a brand. “You killed her,” he choked out, the words barely audible, not meant for anyone but the darkness in his heart. He looked down at the baby, eyes brimming with a twisted mix of grief, hate and rage. “You fucking killed her, you monster!" _______ There will be daily updates, and for every 5 golden tickets, I'll upload one extra chapter.

"Very well, mortal. Your… audacious request is granted. You will return to the beginning, stripped of your immediate memories, driven only by your inherent… drive. And our observation… will be most keen." Minwoo's smirk widened into a confident grin. "Good. Don't blink. You might miss something." The celestial chamber shimmered, the gods beginning to fade, their expressions a mixture of solemnity and intense curiosity. "The game… begins anew," their voices echoed, carrying a resonance of the unique arrogance of his desire.

[Scrapped] "I Am Not the Protagonist" Reincarnated. Doomed. Over it. Caleb was just a sleep-deprived mess of a man, dead before thirty and buried under unfinished art and caffeine-fueled regrets. Now? He’s been reborn into a fantasy novel he once read — as a minor villain whose only personality trait was simping for a heroine who didn’t even remember his name. Gross. Determined to ghost the cringe script written for him, Caleb throws the plot in the shredder and walks his own crooked path through the elite Academy, where heroes train, secrets fester, and a demon invasion looms in the shadows. He’s not the chosen one. Not the protagonist. Not even a sidekick. But he is a wildcard. And sometimes, that's exactly what the story needs.

William Rose. A villain destined to die offscreen—forgotten, erased. And now? I am him, trapped in a story that’s already written me off. In a world where villains die quietly and heroes wear masks, maybe it’s time for someone worse to step up. *** "Damn it." An angry voice broke the stillness, low and bitter. "William Rose. Of all people… it had to be him." A boy lounged on the crimson velvet sofa, posture lazy but eyes burning. One leg draped over the other, fingers drumming a slow, restless rhythm against the armrest. As his gaze drifted to the ceiling, tracing the ornate carvings, he muttered, "Just... Why does it have to be him?"

In 2020, a friend of mine at the time recommended a manhwa called "Tomb Raider King," and currently, I’m following several with an academy theme, 70% of which have been abandoned (please don’t leave me, "The Extra’s Academy Survival Guide"). That’s why I wanted something similar — so I could read without the fear of it being canceled or going on permanent hiatus because its creator has to do military service or is being exploited at work. Obviously, a novel isn’t the same as a manhwa, but I don’t care (just like having a cover made with AI).

Mehrajān's heart is a fragile mosaic, pieced together by moments with the one person who defined her world—Muazam. In this reflective and raw exploration of love and loss, Mehrajān finds herself looking back at the memories of the boy she loved, the boy who was always just out of reach.
