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.

Can the transmigrated baby villain survive this crappy world until he reaches his 18th birthday so he can kill the protagonist? - Jay died. He woke up in the body of a baby, and he thought he was reborn with the memory of his past life. Then, the System happily told him that he transmigrated into an unpublished novel which he stole when he was alive, and he's the main villain called Kaon the Blood Prince, the most vicious superpower human to ever graced the Earth, yet the author didn't develop him very well. The only thing that Jay knows about Kaon is his superpower is using his opponent's blood to make rain. The system said his mission is to take down the protagonist Kade the golden boy. That's easy enough, the protagonist is nothing compared to Kaon in terms of sheer power, and Kaon won in the original work. If Jay completes his mission, he can be reborn in his original world. There's one tiny little problem: Kaon is a baby, barely one year old. He doesn't know where his parents are, but he's being taken care of by two people: an undead fifteen year old villain and a thirteen year old hero-traitor-to-be. None of them know how to hold a baby properly, let alone raise one in poverty. It seems like everything is out to kill the baby villain. Can he survive to adulthood? And why is everyone named Jay in here? - 1/3 of the book will be focused on the baby growing up into an adult, nightmare mode all the way. The romance will slowly engrave itself into the plot. - Warning: There will be gore and action movie fight scenes. If you're uncomfortable reading those, you can skip this book. - Special Chapters • Every 15th chapter: Excerpt from another world • Every 20th chapter: User 1's Interlude • Chapter 25, 33, 36: Villainous Parents' Misadventures _____ Yell at the author in the comments to get consistent updates.

Ling Wugi was supposed to be the villain of his own story, trapped in the grim plot of an urban novel. His life had been full of tragedy: his mother passed away when he was young, his father died in the arms of another woman, and now the family business was on the verge of being seized by his aunt, Ling Qingxiao. According to the original story, Ling Qingxiao would raise her biological son, Zhang Lingyi, to become the true protagonist, while also adopting seven goddaughters to protect him. Ling Wugi, however, was nothing more than a stepping stone in Zhang Lingyi's path, destined to be miserable. "There's no way this is happening, not a chance!" Ling Wugi swore to change his fate. His first priority? To separate Zhang Lingyi from everyone around him. He turned his focus toward Zhang Lingyi's biological mother, Ling Qingxiao, and her seven goddaughters. "Girls, I hope you don’t want me to get rid of your precious brother, do you?" he threatened, a dark glint in his eye.

One night, in the bustling urban streets of Kyoto, Sato, a weary businessman, trudged along in his usual formal attire. Consumed by a life defined solely by work and sleep, he found himself at a crossroads of despair. Years of relentless dedication to his career had left him without the simple joys of life: the freedom to eat and drink as he pleased, the chance to enjoy his passions, or even the warmth of a family. He realized that in his pursuit of success, he'd forgotten what it meant to truly live. In a desperate attempt to escape his overwhelming thoughts, Sato drowned his sorrows in a nearby bar, drinking away the emptiness that filled him. As the night wore on, he stumbled out into the streets, barely able to keep his balance. But fate had other plans. Drunk and disoriented, Sato was struck by a speeding truck and fell into darkness. When he awoke, he found himself in a vast, empty void—surrounded by nothingness. Before him appeared a radiant figure: a woman dressed in a glowing, ethereal gown. With serene grace, she spoke, revealing that Sato’s life was not yet over. He had been granted an extraordinary second chance—a chance to be reincarnated in another world, where he could finally live the life he'd always dreamed of, free from the confines of his former existence. Reborn as a baby named Souta Laurent, he now finds himself in a new world, far from the world of workaholic ambition. His parents are simple, ordinary citizens, living humbly in this unfamiliar realm. But as Souta grows, a question begins to linger in his mind: What does it truly mean to be a civilian in a world so different from the one he once knew?

This is the tale of an average nobody, who after his death got transmigrated in a new world. The memories of his average life flashed before his eyes, as he found nothing that was noteworthy about him. So in this new world should he try to change that, should he wish to be supreme, rise to the peak or to rule the heavens, but he's too lazy for that. "And how come all the names are so familiar. Don't tell me, am I in that novel?" Soon after waking up he realised this world was based upon the very first novel he read years ago. At first he felt happy that finally something unexpected happened in his life. But that happiness was short lived as he remembered the plot of the book and the crisis that was coming for the world. If that wasn't enough he was living in the body of Rio Raven Blake - avatar of Nyx. Known by his other names like The last dark spawn, The first fallen or The infamous Devil. In a world brimming with dungeons, towers, Gods, Demons, monsters and magic - our MC finds himself trapped in the body of the last villain. "I don't care about the novel plot, I'll just ignore it, and live my life peacefully." At least that was his plan, until he heard a voice in his head , that he's been waiting for all this time. [DING] [TING] [TIDING] [DID YOU MISS ME??? ] 'The great villain system, what a funny name.' You can earn points by ruining the plotlines, and can get whatever you want. Let me see, I'm a master at messing things up. [What, someone is going to do a prophecy that I will become the villain after growing up - kill him while he's still a kid.] [what, this potion was made for the protagonist and the alchemist heroine - I'll take it with me.] [ohh you're the one who saves the protagonist when he was about to die - go to prison, you traitor.] [wait, you have a sister. but she is sick and needs help - here take this potion and work for me.] Got a money making slave for life. [What, my parents are fixing my engagement with the princess, who's also a main heroine, but will betray me later and help everyone kill me - Humph...just you wait...] Once the plot started many years later, at the academy entrance exam. Protagonist was shining brightly, breaking all records, taking first rank, but no one was talking about him. As the news came out that the genius of humanity Rio Blake, will be joining the academy too. Not only mortals, even Gods and Demons were surprised at this sudden development too. {Nyx nods at her believers achievements} {Odin says you've grown a lot} {Gauri/Kali challenges you to fight her believer} {Jesus prays for your souls redemption} {Anubis awaits your enemies doom} {Lucifer writes down your lines, as you take on the Devil persona} The protagonist just stared at the guy who took all the limelight from him, but his surprise turned to shock, when his sister ran and hugged the man, while crying her eyes out, saying she missed him and she was sorry.

(I believe in soulmate love 2) MC doesn't care about right, wrong, good, evil - as long as he gets what he want, he'll do it. 3) He hates the so called righteous hypocrites, so don't think he'll be friends with protagonist. 4) MC is serious when it comes to relationships, so don't expect any kind of pokemon collection harem. 5) MC hates the plot, so he'll ruin it. Do not expect him to follow it or him trying to keep it same as written. 6) I don't like hiding my strength tropes, so not happening.

This is a story about a Villain and a Witch. What you can expect from this novel: This is a time-loop-checkpoint style conquest story, and the goal is to conquer the universe. The MC is genuinely a villain and you can expect him acting as a Lawful Evil. Sarcastic toned writing style with slow flowing worldbuilding where you will come to understand the world as the story goes. It's a medium paced story filled with heavy topics, politics, war and tight plot points, sandwiched with romance-comedy breathing spaces. One female lead only, no romantic drama. But caution, this fiction may contain more romance than you can handle. You can also expect classic high fantasy tropes, mixed with science fiction similar to modern isekai/gate/space styled story, there are both magic and mecha, strong-to-stronger characters, insane and manipulative characters, character developments and connections, Seinen magazine demographic, kingdom building and military, world invasion and apocalyptic tone, with legends, myth, world lore, and fairy tale spices. Three years ago, the sky over the magical world of Nethermere cracked wide open, revealing a portal. Out poured thousands upon thousands of spaceships from a so-called superior realm civilization, intent on invading this "lower" realm. But their grand plan? A spectacular flop. The invaders were stopped single-handedly by a man, King Burn of Soulnaught—the genius of the century and a notorious tyrant. Yeah, right. Despite the grand defeat, they didn’t pack up and leave. The crack remained, a celestial eyesore, while more spaceships continued to flood in. Divide et impera, indeed! Now, they'd turned to trading shiny tech trinkets with the locals, sweet-talking their way into hearts and minds. Colonization? It was practically knocking at the door. Burn, once again said, "Hell nah." War. All-out war! Because if anyone’s going to conquer the world, Burn would rather it be him—not some intergalactic interlopers. *** THAT WAS THE PLAN! Conquer the world under him, then the invaders, then whoever was behind them! But… The seventh loop started, and Burn returned back, awakened before the apocalyptic war started, cursing—“This stupid bi—witch!” His march came to a halt when a woman suddenly appeared before him and took her own life while shouting his name. Burn only blinked before realizing he had returned to the time before HIS CONQUER began. That witch of a woman had reset all his hard work! "Why? You're wondering if I've trapped you in a time loop?" the witch asked. "It's not just a spell but a curse! Dear Villain, you are now Witchbound!" *** Apparently, the witch wasn't all that bad. “But aren’t you glad to see your worst enemy able to understand your point of view?” the woman smiled softly. “You should also be glad that I’m a rational and considerate type of person.” Even to her worst enemy. Resetting time for her own purposes? Apparently, she was including him in her considerations. Now Burn, ever the pragmatic, practical, and cold tyrant, found himself in a quandary. Was she a friend or a foe? Was she his worst curse or his greatest blessing? Well, let’s find out.

'It is never too late to change.' _ A god of calamity named Yami is cursed by the supreme god to eternal transmigration—after he lost to a duo—until he performs a selfless act or becomes a hero. After centuries of wandering, he transmigrates into the modern world as Vincent. However, fate has other plans, and he finds himself trapped in the body of Dravil, a malevolent demon lord, after saving a boy from an accident. With his memories sealed, Yami takes on the name of "Vin" from his past life. Disguised as a human, Vin blends into a mage academy with one goal in mind: to become a Rank S mage. But his journey is not just about honing his magical abilities. Not only does he battle against the monsters and demons of this new world, but also against the crown of the throne he must wear. If he succumbs to the throne's allure, chaos is sure to spread throughout the realm. As Vin navigates this treacherous path, he forges new alliances, faces formidable challenges, and confronts his inner darkness while striving to maintain his humanity. With each step forward, he unravels the secrets of his past and seeks redemption from the curse that binds him. Will he resist the temptations of power and bring balance to this troubled world? Or will he give into the darkness, the darkness that he is?. ___________ Note: * The MC is a Demon lord, so his decision-making criteria should be understood. * Understand this: The MC wears a hood which changes his appearance (cus' of an extremely powerful spell) this makes everyone sees him as a young teenager. This is one of the main things to note! *The MC emits dark aura and those around ain't stupid to feel this. * No harem, NTR... * This is a super slow burn romance. Extraordinary super slow burn romance. * There are ranks of the mages in this book, with Rank S being the highest. * The monsters also have their level, which is determined by their destructive capacity and the amount of damage inflicted on their prey or target. This range from Level 1 being the highest and 5, the lowest. * There are tons of Monsters and Demons name. * Some scenes aren't continued instantly. This should also be understood. * There are R18 scenes * The MC is overpowered! He ain't weak! He ain't stupid! #Strong acting weak! *The MC's reflection doesn't belong to him. It's all cus' of which the previous body had. The reflection he see belongs to a demon trapped in the mirror dimension whose past are still a mystery (but would be later explained) * The MC have fuzzy memories, even when transmigrated. Slowly his memories may come together, this is for a good main reason. That being said I'm sure I've explained every misunderstandings and lack of understandings. "Thanks a bunch for reading and for all your support." _____________
