Arcane Villain

Betrayed, manipulated, and left to die by the one person he trusted, Ethan Cross thought his life of violence had finally come to an end. But fate had different plans. When he awakens in a new world as Valen Aetheris, the sole heir to one of the most powerful noble family in the empire, Ethan is given a second chance. This time, however, he won’t just survive—he will dominate. In this world of mana, ancient bloodlines, and mythical power, Valen’s new life offers him access to unimaginable wealth and influence. But in a world where fate favors the "protagonists," heroes destined to rise, Valen chooses a darker path: to drain their power, steal their destinies, and shape the world for himself. Armed with knowledge of the world's future from a novel he once read, and guided by a mysterious system that rewards him for hunting down the so-called “children of destiny,” Valen begins his calculated ascent to absolute supremacy. He trusts no one but himself, and his cold, ruthless methods ensure that nothing—and no one—will stand in his way. But as the line between hero and villain blurs, the stakes grow higher. To claim his throne over all creation, Valen will have to face not just the protagonists of this world, but the heavens themselves. (A/N: It’s my first time writing a novel although not perfect but try first 15 chapters and I assure you, that you will love it.)

Dying after getting bitten by a zombie, the main character finds himself in the world of fantasy. Reincarnating as the mid-rank villain, he decided to live differently and avoid the main cast.

Because of the tragic ends, the God of Fortune has reversed the time and has allowed the main heroines to retain their memories.] Yeah, he is done for. ****** Additional tags: Possessive characters, no Yaoi, no Yuri, no ntr. ***** A/N:- The main character would be overpowered but not to the point where he could defeat his enemies with a snap of his fingers. This novel would be more focused on character development, slice of life, and romance.

Have you ever wondered what it would feel like if your dick exploded? Or if voodoo or black magic actually worked? Axel got a crash course in both after leaving a one-star review for a trashy smut novel where the hapless author-san offed a minor villain. Little did he know that this particular author had some serious power. Suddenly, Axel found himself in the body of the very villain he was lamenting, right at the moment when everything was about to spiral into chaos. Now, with a second chance at life (and a brand-new set of problems), Axel must navigate the wild world of villainy—complete with explosive consequences and dark magic—if he wants to rewrite his story before it ends in disaster.

Rita Oreira, a fun-loving radio host known for her girly gossip, met a tragic end during a home burglary while trying to save her pet parrot. Surprisingly, she transmigrated into a fantasy novel as Lirian Nightwind, a quirky villainess from an evil family, destined to marry the wicked northern duke, Gabriel Sylcrest, who planned to take over the crown. In the original story, Lirian was set to betray Gabriel, leading to her own death by his hands. Fortunately and unfortunately for her, the new Lirian was protected by her two mischievous brothers, who were supposed to die alongside the duke. Their loyalty complicated her plans to escape the dark fate that awaited them all. In this new world, she had to scheme and do unspeakable things with the lunatic duke to protect her true identity and prevent anyone from discovering that she was not the real Lirian. Not only were the tasks out of line, but they were all for pure entertainment rather than any real purpose. As she accepted her life as his wife, she learned that her parrot, which could only say modern phrases, had special powers that made others believe it could see the future. If the parrot said, “Slay, b*tch!” Gabriel would kill a person on the spot. If the parrot said, “Let it cook!” the male lead would banish or imprison the chef, thinking the food was poisoned. If the parrot said, “Sus, very sus!” Gabriel would tear his advisors apart. As Lirian tried to change her destiny and save them all, she discovered surprising truths about those around her, especially Gabriel Sylcrest. Motivated to survive, Rita had to find a way to save them all. “The crown prince—!!!” “Say one more word about another man, and I’ll let my beasts tear him apart.” “You know, my Lord, for a duke who seeks power, you certainly have a way of making a girl feel… vulnerable.” “Vulnerable? No, my dear. You’re mine, and I’ll make sure everyone knows it. If another man even dares to look at you, I’ll unleash my wrath. I’ll have him begging for mercy, and then I’ll enjoy every moment of his despair.” “You can’t just claim me like that.” “Watch me. I’ll mark you as mine in blood and shadow. You’ll be a warning to anyone who thinks they can touch what belongs to me. The moment you’re within my reach, I’ll ensure no one else can ever have you.” “Is that a threat or a promise?” “Both, Lirian. And trust me, the line between love and possession is razor-thin. Cross me, and you’ll find out just how deep my darkness runs for you.”

I, Jin Ha-Joon, am one of the few people in this world that.. are said to be cursed, due to the reason that we are unable to use any magic power. Well, I wouldn't be as sure as them as to say that I am cursed, since this is how people were, back in the starting world before magic, not everyone had magic. It's just the nobles who acquired magic are trying to overpower them by putting down those you didn't by calling them cursed apostles of the devil. Such 'apostles of the devil' are also known as a much shorter and easier term.. Nulls. And yeah, I am one of them. But it all changed for me.. as one day I recieved a mysterious box.. that awakened me.. temporarily?

Marcus Evans was the epitome of an ordinary guy—stuck in a dead-end job, addicted to reading webnovels for a taste of excitement, and completely invisible in the grand scheme of life. His greatest joy was escaping into the pages of Decade Long Crusade, a sprawling epic where the hero, Ash Braker, rises from weakness to ultimate power in a world of magic, technology, and danger. But when Marcus wakes up one day in a body that isn’t his, in a world that feels disturbingly familiar, he quickly realizes the impossible: he’s been transmigrated into the Decade Long Crusade universe. However, there’s a catch. He’s not the hero, nor even a notable character. He’s an unknown extra, an expendable background figure doomed to die without making a mark on the story. To survive in a world where extras are crushed underfoot by stronger powers, Marcus knows he can’t play the game like a hero. The only way to protect himself is to manipulate the plot, ensure Ash Braker’s rise to power, and play the part of the ruthless villain who pulls the strings from the shadows. As the world of cultivation, magic, and futuristic technology threatens to swallow him whole, Marcus must make hard decisions, form dangerous alliances, and betray those who stand in his way. Because in this world, it’s better to be the villain than to die forgotten.

[If you are looking for a slow romance, you can give it a check if not, you'll be disappointed] Aera, a young 28-year-old was about to make her dream debut by opening her own floral shop that could be shipped in and around. Nevertheless, things didn't go as she planned. One would say that transmigrating to a book sound like a fantasy, however to Aera, it became a nightmare when she woke up in an unknown world even when she hasn't died yet. With an unexpected turnout, her life was hanging by a thin thread. Aera was presented with an option-either she goes back to her world with her memory erased or enter the other world, and comes back with the memory intact to have her revenge. Never did she expect of choosing the worst villain of all. A character in a book where she killed the Empress and her unborn child. Worst, the male lead was reborn time after time with his memory intact. His grudge still hung on torturing the villainess. Even more worst, the ML was a split image of her long-time crush. ----- "Do you hate me that much?" As soon as the question was raised, a table lamp flew past through the said person, smashing against the wall behind him. "More than enough to kill you right now." The female figure responded with nothing but hatred and disgust in her tone. Her jewel eyes that glow under the dark never left her gaze on the other male person who was sitting on her opposite. ----- The male lead wasn't the only one Aera had to put a guard on but even other characters when one after the other began to make an appearance. The more the flow gets out of the plot the more twisted it gets. Her only goal was to survive so she could go back home.  P.S:- English is not my first language and I am weak in grammar. I'll be happy to receive either a critics or feedback or comments...^-^ Please do give it a read till chapter 3 or above to get the clear picture.

Three Souls lay in one body, One soul belonging to a man who had reached the peak, the strongest there ever was, the one who had the talent to do so. Yet he suffered because of his talent. His soul shone as bright as a galaxy once, but now is but a sun. His talents made him the envy of all. And He lost it all, tricked and manipulated from the time he was a child. The Second soul belonged to a man soon to be the richest in the world in his own universe. A man who had his face charred, a man who seemingly had every odd placed against him from the very beginning. He went against the family that abused him and triumphed over them. Yet he was left broken inside, He craved a release, and the first soul brought him that release. And he became a psychopath that scared the manifestation of evil itself. And the Third? The child born from their souls was anything but ordinary. Cursed with a fate no one wanted. Cursed with the fact that the Universe wanted him dead. He was born from Chaos And Ice and a fraction of light, yet he manipulated space. His abilities were so powerful they were harmful to his body. His talent is as infinite as the boundless cosmos. His enemies were greater than one could count. His luck is worse than shit. And yet, he continued to fight. Despite whatever was thrown at him, he would brute force through it or outsmart it, befitting the other two above. He continued to fight, not believing in the bullshit that was destiny. ---------------------------------------- Discord: https://discord.gg/Sgxw6QEsgE

16 years old-- most boys would be falling in love, as their hormones all rise to unprecedented levels. Riley, however, at age 16... killed the world's number 1 superhero. Discord Link : discord.gg/MBbJ3jJN7Q Warning: MC is in the spectrum. Very Edgy.

In a twist of cosmic irony, an ordinary boy from Earth awakens to find himself transmigrated into not one, but three separate universes simultaneously: a blockbuster movie franchise, a legendary game world, and a best-selling book series. But there’s a catch. In each universe, he is cast as a background extra—an overlooked figure with no apparent significance. In one world, he is a divine, impossibly beautiful girl with a towering figure, her body graced by breasts starting at an incredible two meters and destined to grow to an awe-inspiring four meters in total, with an ethereal form radiating hypnotic allure. And, to top it off, Dante possesses the fattest ass with the thickest body and curves that defy mortal comprehension. However, fate had bigger plans. Both he and the main protagonist of each universe are granted access to the Omnipotent System, a tool meant to empower the chosen heroes. With this power, they can level up, adapt, and rewrite reality itself. But where the protagonist follows their destined heroic path, he stands as an unpredictable anomaly, capable of rivaling the main characters and reshaping the narrative. To complicate matters, the universes themselves are interconnected yet distinct. Each storyline unfolds in its own book—one centered on the cinematic epic of ancient wars, the other on a dystopian game world filled with danger and intrigue. Both universes blend elements of the third—a magical, eldritch-infused realm from the book series—into their separate narratives, creating a layered, multi-dimensional saga. As the boy battles his own struggles across the universes, building alliances, rivalries, and uncovering the true purpose of his dual existence, he faces a question: Will he stand as a savior reshaping fractured worlds into harmony, or will his presence as an anomaly spiral them into chaos?
