They say every villain is the hero of their story… They are wrong! There is no such thing as heroes and villains, there is just evil. Evil, cruelty, that’s all I know, that's the only thing the world has shown me… Maybe I am wrong… Just maybe there is more to this world, other than the evil and cruelty I was forced to endure, but that doesn’t really matter anymore. A man is a mirror of the world he has been exposed to… Since I have seen the greatest evil the world has to offer, it is only natural I show the world evil in return. Hello there, I am Lucius Blackwell, let me tell you why I became the greatest villain of all time…

Hazuki Hyuna has always thrived on routine. Predictability is her comfort, a steady rhythm she relies on, savoring the certainty of knowing exactly what lies ahead-even indulging in the occasional spoiler. Love, to her, is an overrated, messy affair, the kind that shatters the peaceful quiet she's built around herself. But lately, her days have started to feel a bit too still, a touch too empty...though she'd never admit it. Change isn't something she's looking for. But her impossibly beautiful neighbor seems to have other plans, shaking up her routine with unexpected visits and unusual requests. It's everything she never wanted, yet somehow, it's already too late to pull back.

A boy believed his life held no worth because he couldn’t understand people—their friendships, bonds, or even the purpose of their existence. He saw things beyond what humans were meant to perceive, but always dismissed them, thinking his mind was playing tricks on him. Though gifted in many ways, he lived in solitude, waiting for his life to quietly end. That was, until he met an unusual girl at school. She promised to show him life’s hidden worth, and for the first time, he found himself wanting to believe her. But just as he began to embrace her words, an accident stole his life. Or so he thought. The next morning, he woke in his bed, memories of his death vivid and unsettling. A strange piece of dark metal ring wrapped around his right middle finger, and a mysterious to-do list filled his mind—a series of tasks with curious rewards for each one completed. Now, with newfound power and cryptic objectives, he faces a choice: continue to follow the tasks, or use this second chance to live knowing the worth of his life.

After decades of commanding interstellar forces and navigating uncharted galaxies, retired General Aldric Skye thought he was ready for a peaceful life. But in a world no longer plagued by conflict, he felt out of place, quiet, not like he had imagined. Restless and yearning for purpose, Aldric began looking toward the stars, hoping space exploration might fill the void left by his military career. Just as he prepared for his last space exploration, a dimensional rift suddenly tore open in space, pulling him into an unknown world where magic flows like air and mythical creatures wander the land. Aldric might seem at a disadvantage without magic of his own, but he is anything as such. Armed with advanced exploration gear, he is a one-man fortress! His arsenal includes tactical drones, impenetrable energy shields, and devastating plasma weaponry!

Why Can't I be the Hero?!?! 17 Year old Mika Izuko was a game addicted teenager who decided to drop out of school because he thought it was pointless. With the support of his grandparents he kept up his gaming lifestyle. Mika was always into video games and manga as it was all he had to pass the time most days until one day he decides to run a video game marathon on a new game called "The Heroes of Mito Kingdom!"

A normal kid was suddenly forced to take care of a genius kid. As they grew older, the normal kid thought he finally was able to escape from his duties of taking care of the genius since he would probably go to a normal school while the genius would go to the most powerful school in the world. But unlike what he expected, he also got accepted inside the most powerful school despite it having a reputation of strictly only picking talented teens as their students. Will the normal kid be able to retire from his duties of taking care of the genius?

To clean or not to clean, is that even a question? Pavlo was born in a relatively poor family. Yet, thanks to his vivid intelligence and innate energy that always pushed him for the greater heights he became... a mobster. As soon as he came of age, the local organisation took him under his wings, quickly recognising his talents. Before the first digit of his age changed or even came close to turning four, he was already responsible for managing the vast financial empire of his new family! But everything has its own price. In the organisation like his, superiors always had to feel the breath of their subordinate on their necks. Sadly for Pavlo, what he felt was not the breath, but the cold steel of the autonomous truck that smashed his body into bits. A pitiful end sprinkled with the salty realisation that said truck was a product developed by the company that Pavlo used to launder the organisation money in the first place! Just like revolution eats its own children, so did Pavlo's investment claim its creator's life. But how could he see just a set of primitive bars instead of the glorious gate of the heaven... or more precisely, the stinky depths of the hell? And most importantly, what the hell are those flashing letters that seemed to have some majestic aura to them? WHAT DOES THE ULTIMATE CLEANING SYSTEM EVEN MEAN?

What is even human existance? what will happen to our thoughts are we die? this thinking in the brain? the voice in your brain that's reading this what will happen?

The top boss in the capital, Master Lou, suddenly found his thighs hugged by a baby with pigtails. He even cried and called him daddy. Master Lou, "Who are you?" The baby, "I'm your son!" Master Lou, "????" The baby swindled Master Lou into going to the countryside to look for his mother. Song Wei recognized the man's face and immediately closed the door in his face. "Sorry, you've found the wrong person. His mother is next door." Master Lou held her hand as she was about to close the door and gave her a meaningful smile. "Woman, how have you been?" Later on… the news of Master Lou fetching his wife back from the countryside and having a child spread like a wildfire in the capital. The capital's socialites cried, "How can a village woman be worthy of our Master Lou?" Song Wei said, "You guys are right!" The baby was dissatisfied. "My mommy is young, pretty, and has a good figure. A medical expert is begging her to teach them. A top hacker is her assistant…" Song Wei gritted her teeth and covered the baby's mouth. "Shut up!" She had finally retired to the countryside to live a carefree life in her retirement, but all of this was ruined by her son! Her son even unknowingly proclaimed that she was extremely capable, causing a group of socialites to come and provoke her. Song Wei could not bear the description and rolled up her sleeves with her hands on her hips. "Come, if one of you comes, I'll kill one. If two come, I'll kill two!" When Master Lou heard the news, he smiled and warned everyone, "My wife came from the countryside. She's ignorant and afraid of strangers. Don't bully her." The socialites were furious. "Who can do that?!"
