The Villain Becomes The Hero

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.

*Synopsis* Kai had always been into fantasy stories—knights, mages, epic battles, and especially the whole “hero vs. demon king” thing. But out of all the crazy tropes those stories had, the one that always stuck with him the most was hypnosis. Then one day, while walking out of a store, fate hit him like a truck—literally. He shoved a woman out of the way, saved her life… and promptly died. Classic. But instead of fading into the void or getting some sad funeral scene, Kai got the “Congratulations, you’re reincarnated!” treatment. New world, new rules, new him. Total fantasy package. He was told he could pick three abilities to help him get started. So what did he choose? Strength? Magic? Swordsmanship? Nah. Kai picked hypnosis. Because why not have a little fun with mind control in a world where dragons and demon kings exist? Now, with his powers unlocked, Kai’s ready to dive into an adventure full of excitement, danger, and a little (okay, a lot) of debauchery. And hey—if he ends up saving the world while he's at it? Even better. All thanks to hypnosis, of course. *DISCLAIMER* This novel will be a fun adventure story, not to be taken seriously. If you just want to laugh, have fun, enjoy a super overpowered MC, and lots of lemons (maybe), then this story is for you. If you're here for an intricate, thought-out, crazy foreshadowing story with stakes, then this story ISN'T for you, so shoo, go away!

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.

Tessy Brown, an only daughter of her parents, was treated badly in her marriage, but forced to endure all the ill treatment for the sake of her father's business. Three years down the line, her husband presented her with a pre birthday gift — his ex girlfriend, who he introduced as his new wife. Heartbroken and shattered, Tessy accepts divorce and gives in to her drunken desire, having sex with a complete stranger she met at her workplace. That single encounter changed her life forever, opening her to a world she never knew existed, and a life she never would have believed she lived in the past. *** Cursed to abhor the touch of a woman after the death of his mate, Roman Gavriel, the Lycan ruler of the entire werewolf communities and a revered billionaire in the human communities, lived a long life of ruthlessness and loneliness. Already resigned to his fate, he decided to test different ways to end his miserable life. When one of his experiments successfully knocked him unconscious, he landed in the hospital where he felt the touch of life that aroused all of the feelings he thought he had killed and buried. At that moment, he knew he was never letting her go, not for anything or anyone in the world.

I died without a name. I woke up with one the world hated. Caius Val’Rendall was meant to be a footnote — the weakest son of a powerful Duke in a crumbling empire, scorned by his own blood, abandoned by magic, and doomed to die a villain before the story ever truly began. But when a soul from another world awakens inside his broken body, everything changes. Because he’s read this story before. He knows how Caius dies. He knows who lives. He knows which heroes rise… and which innocent lives are discarded. And he refuses to follow the script

One hundred and seven years have passed since the Great War shook the continent. The world no longer remembers the nameless hero who once saved it. Now retired, Caled Stellarion lives in obscurity—until a beautiful elf, the enigmatic Head of Magic Association, tracks him down with a single request: “I need a professor who can govern them all. You’re the only one I trust.” With that, he is appointed Archscholar—a legendary position with absolute authority over all the prestigious all-girls magic academies scattered across the continent. The catch? There are no teachers. No guardians. No one left to guide these wild, powerful, and hopelessly eccentric girls. “Then what exactly am I here for?” “To answer their cries for help... every single one of them.” From cursed swordswomen and explosive alchemists to seductive beastkin and lonely mages, each student hides a problem only he can solve. And with every mission, every personal club he visits, and every heart he touches—they begin to fall for him. Magic clashes. Emotions ignite. Clothes... often vanish. But behind every flirtation lies a deeper mystery. Just what is the elf really planning—and can this forgotten hero remain retired when the world is far from saved? Overpowered hero. Academy chaos. Mission-based harem building. Smut-filled, magic-fueled romance awaits. ••••• Just so you know: ❌ No rape – All intimate scenes are consensual. ❌ No NTR – No cheating, no stealing lovers. The girls fall for him only. ❌ No yuri – No girl x girl romance. This is a male-centered harem.

I closed my eyes and let out a shuddering breath. My fingers were numb and cold, my arm aching where the needle pierced the vein. Something clattered onto the pavement, and I looked down to see the needle. It had slipped out of my hand. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first sense of peace I'd felt in my short, miserable life. There was no one to miss me, and no one I would miss. There's always someone else to beat or rape. The regulars would move on quickly. I died. Only...wasn't death supposed to be dark? And since when did 'nothingness' have so many gods?

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.

There’s a trend infecting stories lately—all because of boys reading these stories rather than men. Villains who think being "dark" means having dead eyes, a tragic past, and a dick that solves all problems. They get betrayed once, and suddenly it's their life's mission to destroy the world—or worse, emotionally blackmail heroines in the name of “revenge.” Slap on a black coat, stare at walls, say something like "love is weakness"—and boom, readers start calling them “deep.” But let’s be honest: > They’re not villains. They’re just edgy losers with a god complex and a hard-on trying to satisfy the inferiority of their readers. Some of them turn so cold, they forget why they started. Others get so lust-drunk, they think sleeping with a heroine is “domination.” That making her cry is “control.” They think power is measured by how many women they can ruin. But really? > They’re just boys trying to look like men. Just like their followers who are the boys who hide their masculinity inside a woman's virginity. They go around in the review section asking if the women of the main character would be stolen and all... giving it fantasy names like NTR and all nonsense. As if they want to scream their fear out. "Please don't, I hate it... because I am a gay who doesn't even have the confidence that my woman will remember me once she gets someone better...." one of the loser’s internal thoughts. They don't want their puny hearts to be crushed. Their masculinity is so weak that it crumbles the moment they think about some other man having the women they love and her forgetting those boys for the men. And they just project that weakness of themselves in their main characters, thinking that just like them, their main characters should be weak, should be a fantasy monger who hoards women like trying to hide the incapabilities of those followers who never in their life would have held a hand of a woman. Harem has now become a way to satisfy weak audiences who feel more women mean more security for their hearts. Forgetting that Harem in truth means the masculinity is so HUGE that it needs an ocean of FEMININE to hold. Tch, not like the boys with breakups and fear of being cucked will ever realize. They treat fantasy as escape and character as their way to feel that they are men. So, naturally, to have such a huge amount of followers, authors are forced to pour the density of such books holding such weak characters in the form of the cold MC who collects harem, manipulates one or two, fucks around, and finally satisfies readers until they feel bored and drop the book.... Because to those followers, they themselves realize in the long run that the story isn't satisfying even if the villain is the same cruel man. So why? Simply because they were until now reading kind boys wearing the mask of a man, and acting as a villain. Their MC, just like them, doesn't even know themselves, their needs, and what their inner soul wants... not understanding that... Fucking a woman doesn't make you her god. Breaking her spirit doesn't make you a king. And calling yourself a villain just because you were too weak to heal? That’s not power—that’s coping. And for followers—that's doping. Real villains? They don’t whine. They don’t treat women like checkboxes or trophies. They don’t mistake lust for legacy. > They don’t need to act cruel. They are cruel. Calm. Focused. Dangerous in silence. They don’t need to chase power—they embody it. This story isn’t about a guy who gets played and suddenly thinks he’s entitled to vengeance sex. This is about a villain who doesn’t.... Ah, screw this shit. Just read the story already!

Jidenna stared at the harem villain's unconscious body under his feet and the 13 knocked out beauties scattered around him. He looked at the sky and sighed, "Can't I have a break" **** After being betrayed and killed by the one closest to him Jidenna, an ancient god woke up in a rental apartment with no memory of who he was. His only clue was the acceptance letter on his laptop to a university across the continent and the insight that accompanied him: he could know the use of an object with a touch. But before he could fully adjust to his new reality he was poisoned. Dragging himself from the gate of hades he went on a spree of revenge and afterwards set off to another land for schooling. Thinking to himself that the action was over but he began to notice strange things ever since he entered Pǔshì University His roommate wanted to siphon his luck. His seatmate was a trouble magnet and a harbinger of disaster. The random elderly man wanted to steal his girl and make her his 108th concubine. As if that wasn't enough action already the world ended gods and monsters tore open the sky bringing forth a new era of chaos.

«You’re mine, Daven… from the very beginning. Until the very end». When I woke up, I realized I’d been reborn inside the world of the novel my wife once wrote. Only this place isn’t the heroic tale of swords and demons she imagined. Here, the mad goddess who killed me keeps appearing in my dreams, laughing sweetly as she tears away everything I love… even my sanity. Every time I try to run, her voice reaches me: «If I can’t have you… I’ll destroy you». Now I’m trapped between shattered memories, a love turned to ashes, and the twisted obsession of a being who can devour it all. To make things worse, I’ve been reborn as the fiancé of the heroine… who absolutely despises me. Meanwhile, a saint watches me with eyes full of stars, whispering that I belong to her. What the hell is wrong with this world? In a place where love is as dangerous as destiny itself, can I ever break free from the chains of someone who swears they love me… or will I end up in their arms anyway, knowing that’s where death awaits?

They told me I had only one year left to live. I lost all hope of being cured. So I decided to waste that year reading novels and playing games. And then… I died. Or at least, that’s what I thought. When I opened my eyes, I was suddenly slapped by a girl. Out of instinct, I dodged her and punched her hard in the jaw. As I was about to hit her again, a deep voice stopped me: “Stop! How dare you strike the princess?!” I turned to see the man— Arin von Rinehafer. Wait… that name... I know it. I’ve been transported into my favorite novel— But not as the hero... I became the villain. No more crying over the past. My childhood dream has come true. And in this life... I’ll do whatever I want, no matter the consequences.

After a life of hard work, all I received in return was betrayal. So, I decided to eat the Demon and become the mastermind in the shadows. Fantasy | Harem | SMUT | R18 | Demons | MILF | Romance

[AUTHOR NOTE, REFRESH YOUR READING LIST, CHAPTER 45 TO 53 UPDATED AND FIXED] [Author Note: Vol 2 has started, NTR, CUCKOLD AND TABOO] All fictional characters are above 18 [WARNING THIS NOVEL IS A SEX NOVEL WHICH INCLUDES SEX CONTENT] Arthur's head hurt like crazy as he woke up. He kept his eyes closed, rubbing his temples and feeling a super comfy bed under him - definitely not his cheap mattress back home. "What the hell...?" he mumbled as he finally looked around. He was in some rich person's bedroom with a fancy four-poster bed and red silk sheets. Sunlight came through pretty stained glass windows, making red patterns on the marble floor. Everything screamed royalty - fancy mirrors, portraits of hunting scenes, and even a painting of a barely-dressed goddess that seemed to be watching him. "How did I get here?" Arthur wondered, getting out of bed. "I definitely drank too much at Mark's party last night" The last thing he remembered was almost getting hit by a car while crossing the street. Looking in a mirror, he got another shock. He didn't look like himself at all! Instead of being skinny with acne scars, he now had muscles, clear skin with just one cool scar on his jaw, with a reddish brown hair, and green eyes. "Damn, I'm hot," he said, touching the scar. For a moment, he remembered his old life. He pushed up his glasses. Kids made fun of him. Jessica laughed at him when he asked her out. "Like I'd be with a loser like you," she told him. Suddenly Arthur realized what was happening. "I've been transported to another world! Just like in those stories online!" He spun around excitedly. "I must be someone important here. This is gonna be so cool! Watch out, fantasy world, your new hero has arrived!" Right then, blue text appeared floating in front of him: [System Starting Up...] [Host Found: Prince Arthur Lionheart] [Soul Check: Person from Another World] [Magic Type: Incubus Powers Activated] "Incubus?" Arthur asked in shock. "Like, those demons that seduce people?" [That's right. Your family's magic has changed because of your Earth soul's hidden desires. Congrats on finding your true potential.] "Can I change it? I want to be a cool battle wizard or something!" [Not possible. Your soul has permanently connected to the Incubus powers. Accept it - your charm is your weapon, attraction is your shield.] "Fuck," Arthur groaned. [Exactly. The more sexual intimacy you have, the stronger you'll become.] Arthur's eye twitched. "Very funny. Just... tell me what I can actually do."

The villain Lu Junhan was a malevolent and sly man. There was no crime that he had not done, and there was no one that did not fear him in Hai City. In the end however, he died in the hands of the male lead, and became the largest joke within the high society in Hai City. The princess of the Koi Tribe wanted to change this terrible ending, and did everything she could to reincarnate into Lu Junhan’s biological daughter, Lu Li. The three-year-old-and-a-half tightened her fist. “I will protect my daddy’s life! No one can bully him!” Everyone’s face turned pale. Who was bullying who, really?! And then… Lu Junhan ordered, “Take off his clothes and throw him into the pool!” Lu Li said, “Daddy, let me! I know how to take people's clothes off.” Lu Junhan was speechless. Lu Junhan stopped, and said, “Taking off his clothes might make you get some eye disease. Fine, cut off his hand-” Before he could even finish, Lu Li unsheathed an extremely sharp blade. “Daddy, let me! I know how to do this too!” Lu Junhan was speechless again. Afterward, a reporter interviewed him to ask, “Mr. Lu, may I ask what made you turn over a new leaf and vow to be a good man?” Lu Junhan simply smiled without saying anything. To give his daughter a good environment to grow up, he had to hide all his darkness and violence in his closet, so that he could be a good example for his daughter and make sure that she didn’t steer off into a strange path, as well as stop her from being cheated by others! However who knew that as careful as he was, his baby girl that he had taken every precaution to raise would be brought home by a little demon king! The little demon king who has always been malevolent, violent, and cared for nothing put on his kind face. “Lili, they all say that you like good people. Do I look like a good person now?”

Born cursed, Valen Crisoff brings ruin to everyone around him. Branded as a harbinger of misfortune, shunned by society, and blamed for the downfall of his family, Valen’s life spirals into tragedy. When his parents die by their own hands, he’s left with nothing—no family, no future, no hope. Until he discovers a hidden relic and awakens a sealed god—Dravi, the God of Time. Dravi offers him a deal: gather enough karma—the power of those whose names are remembered—and Valen can turn back time and rewrite his destiny. But karma isn’t earned by kindness. It’s seized by conquest, by fear, by carving your name into history. With the world labeling him a villain, Valen makes his choice. He will become the villain they all feared. He will steal karma, crush heroes, and rise to power—not for revenge, but to take back the life he lost. In this game of fate, there’s no going back.

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).
