The Hero And The Heron

On his 10th birthday, Ren is celebrated as a hero — the chosen one blessed with unmatched power to protect the world from the monsters spilling out of dungeons. Yet, as the nations join forces to train and guide him, they see him only as a weapon to wield, a pawn in a dangerous game of power. Taken from his home, Ren is trained under the iron hands of foreign nations, wielding his strength to shield lands he barely knows. When he finally fulfills his purpose and grows into the most powerful hero the world has ever known, he’s betrayed by the very nations he fought for, and, in their quest for dominance, they destroy the kingdom of Arden, his birthplace, and his heart. In the moments before he dies, struck down by a forbidden weapon, Ren vows revenge. But fate grants him something more powerful than vengeance — a second chance. Awakening in his childhood body mere days before his hero’s ceremony, Ren now has all the knowledge, skill, and power from his former life and a new purpose. This time, he will refuse their shackles, forge his own path, and raise Arden to greatness. As he trains in secret, Ren allies himself with his childhood friends, the two princesses of Arden, Elara and Selene, who are both loyal to him and now central to his heart and mission. Together, they plot to outwit the nations that once betrayed him, strengthening Arden’s defenses and building allies among those who stand in the shadows. With a growing network of spies, newfound strength, and a burning desire for justice, Ren sets his sights on reclaiming control of his destiny and protecting his kingdom from those who would see it fall. His mission is clear: take revenge, save his kingdom, and claim the throne — becoming not just a hero, but the hero king Arden needs.

They could always find someone else to beat or rape. The nothingness was a relief. At least now I have peace. Only...since when did 'nothingness' have so many gods? As one of ten heroes chosen by the Divine, I was sent to another world to fend off a demon invasion. But, the gods aren’t all helpful, and treat this as a game. Waking up in the magical world of Enusia, I found myself cursed and alone, clapped in chains and despised. This world was worse, far worse than the playground I so naively left behind, filled with betrayal, pain, and death. I've heard that the brightest lights cast the longest shadows. Perhaps, in this life, I can find if that's true. I'm tired of living in the dark. It's time to find the light.

We follow the misadventures of Zik, an unassuming mid-level hero cursed with the peculiar ability to see the world as a chaotic video game.

The lands were plagued with blood and sweat of many for ages to come until a new dawn shined upon the lands.

Follow the story of the Forgotten S class hero Kenshin Haru who is forced to fight against the demon army once again to make a name for himself.

In a world where magical portals and dangerous beasts keep appearing, humanity has organized ranks for heroes, from Rank F to Rank S. The strongest fight for fame and fortune, but there's one problem: while the world is teeming with S-ranked prodigies, one Rank F hero, Rin Park, seems to always end up saving the day—accidentally.

But unbeknownst to everyone, Rin has a peculiar gift: he attracts bad luck. If there's a powerful enemy, they will somehow end up stumbling upon Rin, often resulting in a chaotic, explosive battle where Rin emerges victorious… by sheer accident.

In a world where heroes always win and villains are destined to lose, one man decides to flip the script. Armed with nothing but a mysterious system and a wicked sense of humor, he's on a mission to do the impossible: steal the spotlight from the chosen ones. But here's the catch - every time he takes down a hero, reality itself seems to hiccup. Suddenly, he's not just fighting overpowered protagonists; he's juggling entire storylines, each crazier than the last. From cultivation realms to modern metropolises, from ancient sects to futuristic space stations, no realm is safe from his clever schemes and insatiable appetite for chaos. As he collects powers, luck, and even the occasional unwilling sidekick, our unlikely anti-hero starts to wonder: In a multiverse where being good is a superpower, does being bad make him the greatest hero of all? Get ready for a tale that turns tropes on their head, where the bad guy is the good guy, and 'happily ever after' is just the beginning of the trouble. After all, when the system says jump, you don't just ask how high - you steal the jumping skill and soar. Will he save the world by wrecking everyone else's story? Or will the cosmic author finally hit the delete key on his shenanigans? There's only one way to find out. The game is afoot, the dice are loaded, and the house always wins - or does it?
