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.

Hello there, I am Lucius Blackwell, let me tell you why I became the greatest villain of all time…

Waking up in a novel we read would be some of our heartfelt wishes. But what if it was a dark fantasy novel? Now that would be either interesting or terrifying maybe a mixture of both. If you reincarnated as the Hero that is... Waking up as Sirac Saeron Ksharthel, a minor villain was not something I imagined would happen to me, a normal student in my world. If only it wasn't a damn revenge regression novel. And what's this nonsense about becoming the main villain, that I keep seeing on the oh-so-esteemed 'system'? [False Villain System] [*Anomaly detected*] [* Searching Anomaly.....5%,15%,40%*] [*Anomaly lost, Detecting world changes*] [Changes: Main mission completion probability has decreased by ȕ̸̢̧̡̳͉͚͙͓̬̲̥͂̈́̀̈́̄̃̈́̓͋̒̓͜͠ͅͅņ̵̰͓͕̥̫̥͕̱̙̮͍̮̬̩̉̄̇̅̋͗̈́̐͐̒͒͆͊͝͝k̸̡̡̖͔̻͍̫̰̫̮̯͉͚͋̌̅̒́͂́̚͜ͅn̷̡̬͓̭̦͒̃͗̆̏́̑̾̓̑͌́̅͝ͅô̷̡̬̬̭̻͌̊̕͝w̷͇̜̳͓̫̭͖͙̯̳͔̽̌̅̅̀̑̈́̈́͋̈́̈ͅn̸̹̓͗̽̉̈́͘͝ ] [*Returning to normal state*] "What the Hell?"

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.

The beginning marks the end. A story untold as it never ended, a story broken as it never got the chance to heal, a story of the stars and a story of the world abandoned by fate. People live by desires, dreams, motivation and undying crave for something. Everybody want something in life, something that they want to achieve no matter the cost. But how about those who don't? How does it feel to not have any dreams? How does it feel to not have a single thing you are interested in? How does it feel to not crave for anything? Life goes just like the flow of the river with nothing so ever happening in your life and meet the Sea as in Death.

With the support of his grandparents he kept up his gaming lifestyle.

Have you been inspired before? The bible led has Led me to think differently about the world com on a journey with me, from a lost sheep to a servant of the Lord God

(Very mature content upcoming.) Merai's misfortune began when his childhood friend and the current emperor died without marrying, leaving his 12-year-old younger sick brother as the next emperor. When Merai's line to the royal court was cut off, the people around him changed. A conspiracy was enacted against him to frame him for a crime he did not commit. And the charge was being led by his ex-fiancé and his step-sister. Once a respected general and the only beta commander of the royal army, he was forced to step down and renounce his right. It all seemed doomed for Merai when a miracle happened, making Merai step into a role he did not expect - The Empress. Now married to a 12-year-old kid who looked and acted eerily like his dead best friend and a court who wanted to use Merai for his new position, he would have to step into his new role as soon as he could if he did not want to die. Thankfully, he was a calm, cold-blooded person who did not let anything phase him, right? Everyone was waiting for the revenge to rain cold on Merai's ex-fiance. ____________ 'Fuck! Why did my fiance betray me? Did he finally figure out that the cool-blooded general is a timid omega? Is that why the 12-year-old kid wanted to wed me? To secure himself an alliance?' Merai thought as he was pushed on his back. The familiar shade of Golden eyes, which once belonged to his best friend and now his husband, looked at him with a heated expression. "Brother Merai, you are finally mine, right? I don't have to hold back since you are going to become mine. My wife." The child emperor looked delighted before he nibbled at Merai's neck to mark him. Unfortunately, his fangs were too immature to leave a permanent mark. ____________ Warning - it is BL, has omegaverse, and has age regression. Ratings will change. Hints of a love triangle and a lot of pinning and misunderstandings. It will have a lot of othersXMC, but the main ending will me MCXML.
