GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.

I want to die in peace I can't do this anymore'. I then placed the letter under her pillow since we shared the room.The first thing to do is to fake my death. I want them to think I'm dead then I packed everything I will need to survive as I run to the border.When i reached the boarder then I cutted my hand as I let my blood spill making it look like the Rouges attacked me. When I was done I then turned and looked back and I vowed that, "I will soon return for my revenge Damon Sébastien King you will regret the day the Moon Goddess paired you with me as a mate!!"

The Protagonist’s Sister Is Actually The Strongest

Have you ever read a novel with such a terrible ending that you wished you could change the story and give the characters you loved the happy ending they deserved? ~~~ I was just another failure of an author, writing stories nobody read, and that never sold. Seeking to improve my writing, I read the most popular novel at that time, Solo Player, to learn what made it so popular. However, as I read this story, I couldn’t help but feel frustrated about the story’s development, which had a terrible ending. Eventually, and quite bitterly, once I ended reading the book, I found myself transmigrated into the very world of this novel. Did I become the Protagonist? A Villain? Or perhaps even an Extra? No, it was much worse than I imagined. Because I ended up becoming the most worthless character that nobody ever cared about in the novel. A character that is often considered the motivation for the protagonist to grow stronger, but also his greatest burden. Someone every reader hated! “I’m the protagonist’s sister…” However, with my knowledge of this novel's events, my worthlessness was about to change. I’ve decided to not only become the strongest but also change the story’s terrible ending! “I won’t let you go inside a Dungeon, it’s too dangerous.” ...As long as I can get this incredibly corny and overprotective brother out of my way! And for some reason, the Constellations won’t stop bothering me. Ding! [The Cosmic Throne {Butterfly That Flies Across The Universe} seems interested in your tenacity!] [She has sponsored 1000000 Plot Points and the [Demon of Calamity Transformation Technique (SS)] Skill!] [The Cosmic Throne {Monkey that Dances in Chaos} finds your chaotic nature amusing!] [He has thrown the [Umbral Chaos Stone Necklace (S Rank)] at you!] [Not enough? He launched the [Immortal Heaven Peach (SSS Rank)] right on your face!] There was something really wrong with the Constellations this time around. Ding! [The Cosmic Throne {Jester Filled With Lies} is happy that you’re bringing despair to your victims!] [He has gifted you the [Jester’s Last Laugh (S Rank Privilege)] and the [Master of Manipulation (SS)] Skill!] [The Cosmic Throne {Maiden that Watches Over Nature} seems happy you’re growing stronger.] [She has gracefully sponsored you with 2000000 Plot Points and Fully Heals All Your Wounds!] [She has also begun to wonder if you could plant some trees for her, gifting you the [Divine World Tree Seedling (SSS Rank)]!] [The Cosmic Throne {Warrior That Seeks Calamity} is satisfied with your battle performance but asks for more battle!] [He has sponsored you with 500000 Plot Points and [Beheading Sword of Destruction (SSS Rank)]!] They simply couldn’t stop gifting me things as if I were some sort of famous streamer for them. “I am grateful, but please just leave me alone already…” Chapters are long, 1500 ~ 2000+ words. During its serialization, this novel will be available for free forever, no premium. However, you can read advanced chapters here: https://www.patreon.com/pancakeswitch Copyright 2023 PancakesWitch.

"You're sitting on my chair, idiot!" I growled at him, I know I was stupidly brave with no backup. "Sweetheart, your place is here" He said in a seductive tone, patting his thigh. "You..." I gritted.

A story about 2 quirkless children who wanted to be hero, 1 prevailed and OTHER, HE CHANGED, and change is what he or YOU want. Even though the world forced him to become a monster he didn't let his friend become one, for the one named JIN Is not a villain and certainly not a HERO! A monster with the power and secrets of One. Welcome to my WORLD! Welcome in the roots of my nightmare. MHA X Monster hunter. What to expect : Before you dive into points just read this - if you felt that the org ending was bad then this for you, if you are someone who wants or like well developed side character, like their pov or the story following them this is for you, if you thought that some part of org was not realistic then let me tell this is really for you. Even though the mc (jin) will not Struggle externally his struggle is internal. The story has dark theme, if you believe you are mature enough to handle heavy topics WHICH WE WILL DEEP DIVE INTO then your welcome. . . .i am Crimson emperor. 1. Smart and realistic MC WARNING! because of his past life the mc has some base like 50/100 the story part that revolve around him will be his character development, his decisions and how he control and grow his power. he is like lesser jhon wick returning to the world 2. Lots of training and thinking for other character and everything in between. 3. A lot of original arcs, there will butterfly effects, that's obvious right? ----There will be a whole non canon storyline (places) (character )and stuff, that will affect main storyline. YES MAJOR monster hunter world and it's elements will be included LATER but (not guaranteed) with but i need your opinions on that. MC doesn't know everything about MHA, only few major points, he has only watched anime till season 4 long time ago! and some short randomly.

DARK PSYCHOLOGICAL ROMANTIC THRILLER  ......... The feeling of being trapped in closed space is terrifying however to be trapped in one's own body is a nightmare. Their consciences are both filled with remorse and shame, drowning them in misery. When an ex soldier with dark history gets accosted by the Predator in Paradise, she suppresses her weaknesses to be a survivor. Humanity Fear Remorse Principles He was a victim, escalating into an unstable parasite with an unsatiated craving for blood and pain. ~An evil is not born ~Agony molds you ~Numbs your feelings A hardcore evil is born as one suffers where redemption and retribution is all that he can desire... Some sins can be irreversible Will he lose his chance to atone for his crimes and quench his dolour? She is cynical and despises having episodes of emotional meltdown. She became familiar with the slow and overwhelming pain when there is no closure. She is his perfect match. She drives him toward insanity. Beautifully broken, both having scars staining the soul.  Pain soothes agony. ......... His pov I believe my heart has been devoid of love and affection since then. Not a single soul knew about my miserable life, the pathetic life of this lone wolf, the Ive Michaelson who brags around with his immense power and inhumane heart. The aftermath of that horrible incident was me lying on that cold floor. I dragged my butterfly knife to my wrist. I carved vertical lines which meant I'd bled faster and die faster. People who cut horizontally across the wrists in light lines never really wanted to die subconsciously. They fear death. But I knew better. I meant business. I had cut a deeper slash than last time. But I can't die yet. I grabbed my arms attempting to stop the flow. I wrapped my handkerchief around it. But it won't hurt me to try. Maybe I'll succeed if it's my lucky day. ......... Her pov No human is deemed worthy for life in his eyes. He wet his lips and tilted his head to the side like a complete psychopath, lowering his head a bit. He was gawking at me with those amber eyes turned slightly red. He smiled. Inhumane. I felt fear. Cold fear. The same nauseated feeling came back as he kept that smile while the second tear left his eye. Pain and only pain was visible in them. "That's why you are special. Now I must return this favour askim" he whispered. That craziness surfacing little by little in his smile made it hard for me to breathe. He was sick. ......... I believe in liberal and non sexist views which are portrayed in this book. The male leads can be really fucked up & intrigue characters. The female leads are equally strong and evil. Each character has his own perspective & emotional experiences which mould him into the kind of individual he is & explain the reasons for his particular behaviors. CONTENT AND/OR TRIGGER WARNING: Scenes of drug use, sexual abuse, harassment, self harm, violence & mature language which may be triggering for some readers. I don't plagiarize others otherwise it's purely coincidental.

Ebonborn

In a realm where legends breathe and the dead walk, the murim world exists on the knife’s edge of honor and savagery. Here, warriors aren’t just born but forged through relentless trials, wielding powers that reflect the very spirit within them. Ancient clans, bound by intricate codes and ancient feuds, vie for dominance, each cultivating their own martial secrets, whispered only through generations or carved into scrolls soaked in the blood of those who sought them. This land, cloaked in myth and shrouded in mystery, is one of harsh beauty, a tapestry of vast mountain ranges, haunted forests, and ruined temples where ghosts of fallen warriors linger. Among the wanderers, ronin, and hidden assassins, a delicate balance holds; it is a peace that trembles under the weight of long-held grudges, greed, and the thirst for power. Through silent pathways and forgotten villages, those who dare to walk alone, like Ebon, move as phantoms, forging their paths beyond the constraints of clan loyalty or kinship. These wanderers are nameless shadows, bound only to their own purpose and haunted by the spirits of their past. Yet, for all their independence, even they are touched by the unseen hand of the murim’s brutal politics and mystical forces. In this world of veiled faces, blood oaths, and silent vendettas, every step echoes with danger, and every encounter holds the potential to turn friend to foe. Those who dare to follow this path walk a line between life and legend, their fates lost in the whispers of the ancient and unyielding murim.

REINCARNATION 101

Life is like an egg... I don't know why I said that. This world isn't at all what I thought it would be. I was ready for the butterfly effect, but not to this extent. Sure, I turned a few bad guys into good ones, but the system's idea of "fixing" the narrative? Completely idiotic. And that's why I hate the fucking system. When I find the bastard who transmigrated me, I'll kick his ass—then maybe thank him for bringing me here. Anyway, you're probably wondering why I'm yapping. Well, it's because I got reincarnated as the female lead. One minute, I'm living my normal life, heading home after work. The next, I’m the princess of an empire. Naturally, I did what any reincarnator would do—I got involved in the narrative. Oh, but then I realized, no one else really does that. Most reincarnators are born as side characters, only aiming to help the protagonist from the shadows. They claim they won’t interfere or change the story, acting all sneaky and pulling strings from behind. But let's be honest—they're stupid. I’m not like them. Since I was born as the female lead, I molded the narrative to my will. And here I am. I admit, things got a little messed up, but I wasn’t the only one who knew the future. Who knew that shitty system regressed people too? Anyway, my interference caused the system to malfunction. It broke down, unable to maintain balance, and now, thanks to me, this world is system-free. That caused a few problems since the system kept certain things in check, but who cares? The story goes on. Maybe I went a bit too far, like when I made that one-time villain a professor. But he's a good guy now, just a little broken... and maybe possessed... or maybe he did massacre a village in the original novel. But, but that didn’t happen this time because I’m here. This time, he saved a lot of people, including me, and now he’s living a happy life. All because of me. So yes, I am a great person. Honestly, this story is more about him than just me. Oh, and there’s another guy too. Yeah, he’s a joy. The side character that everyone scorned is now a protagonist alongside me and the villain-turned-professor. So, we're all rejects and outcasts. Stick around to find out what kind of crazy shit the three of us pulled off. We’re the self-made protagonists of what was supposed to be a typical tragic romance novel. Oh shit... what happened to the original protagonist and his group? I totally forgot about them. --- "Welcome to my novel! As a new writer, I'm excited to share my story with you. Please bear with me if my English isn't perfect - I'm doing my best to improve. The story is also going to be pretty slow at the start(almost till 45, but from then we go into a normal pace), but stick around if that's your taste. Update Schedule: New chapters will be posted every day except a Monday or a Wednesday. Occasionally, I might surprise you with an extra chapter on certain days. Get in Touch: If you'd like to contact me, feel free to DM me on Instagram @kaixuanblackwood. I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my novel!"
