shadows of the elite

--- ### *Shadows of the Elite* – Volume 1 Kei Fushimiya never wanted to stand out. Born into a family of geniuses, he was cast aside as a failure and sent to the prestigious National Institute for Future Leaders (NIFL), a school designed to mold the next generation of elites. Kei had planned to blend into the background, maintaining average grades and avoiding unnecessary attention. But when he uncovers the school’s hidden system of manipulation and hierarchy, his quiet life shatters. The student government, composed entirely of Class A students, rules the school with an iron grip, crushing anyone who dares challenge them. At the center of it all is Ichika Renji, a cunning and ruthless vice president who recognizes Kei’s potential and declares him his next opponent. As Kei navigates mind games, power struggles, and dangerous rivalries, he finds himself forced into a battle he never wanted. With his class barely holding together and the looming "Dark Exams" threatening to determine their fate, Kei must decide—will he fight for Class C’s rise to the top, or will he sabotage them to ensure his own survival? In a world where intelligence is power and manipulation is the key to success, Kei must become a shadow among elites… or risk being crushed by them. Shadows of the Elite – Volume 1.5: Shadows Among Us Cruise Arc - A side story to the Island Survival Exam Synopsis: Smooth sailing on a luxury cruise, everything in Class C appears calm on the surface. The perceived calm before the storm of the island exam is actually a cutthroat mental game called **“Shadows Among Us.” Now lies are traded as currency, trust is a luxury, and betrayal comes to them from those they never suspected. Kei Fushimiya, the defeated title character who once yearned to be invisible, reemerges as a shadow tactician, maneuvering secret alliances and lies even clever observers could never predict.

Supreme Upgradation System: Cultivating in a Demonic Sect

[Minor Healing Pill -> Body Restoration Pill ] [Slightly Stronger than Average Physique -> Primordial Stellar God Body] [Spirit Fox -> Nine Tailed Celestial Fox] Li Feng was an orphan on earth and after dying found himself to be reborn in a cultivation world. There he had a family and he was looking forward to having a fulfilling life. But even in his new life, Li Feng lost his parents again in an attack by demonic cultivators. Even he was captured to join a demonic cultivation sect where the value of a life was almost non existent. But even in this dangerous situation, Li Feng was determined to become stronger and take his revenge. And the reason for his confidence was the system that he had from his birth. This [Supreme Upgradation System] rewarded him with special cards that allowed him to upgrade various things including his own talents, cultivation methods and items. With this broken system of his, Li Feng was determined to take revenge for his parents and also to reach the peak of this cultivation world. ____________________ 1. No NTR or Yuri 2. Romance is not the main focus of this story but there will be a few love interests, so it's a harem. All the heroines will have their own story and none of them would be useless. 3. Little to no smut content but it will have quite a bit of gore as the setting is a demonic sect. So it's a 18+ story. 4. The MC will be ruthless to his enemies but he is not an "evil" cultivator. So he will not slaughter innocent people just because he could. But whatever he will do to his enemies would be horrific and worthy of his status as a "demonic" cultivator. 5. The MC would hide his true strength in the first few chapters when his strength is just too weak. It is absolutely foolish to not do that in a dangerous demonic sect. But after he had gotten decently strong, he will not continue hiding his strength without a special reason. 6. The MC will start as quite weak but not long after will became powerful. It is technically a "weak to strong" story but there will be a lot of scenes where the MC will be overpowered. There will not be many face slappings as the face of the enemy will not be there to be slapped. ____________________________ The Cover is mine so no prob.

Heaven-Tier Villain: Upgrading Heroines with 10X Rebate Sharing System

You know what’s funny? These days, every so-called villain story is the same. Some guy gets betrayed, turns cold, starts playing 5D chess with people’s lives, acts heartless—but deep down, he’s always the victim. Always wearing that mask of pain to justify why he’s screwing others over. It’s become a trend. If he’s not manipulating the heroines, crushing the hero under his boots, and pretending like he’s saving the world by destroying it, people say he’s not a real villain—just another edgy antihero. But me? I don’t see villains like that. To me, a villain is just… a human. A man who’s kind when he chooses to be, cruel when he has to be. He’s not trying to prove anything to the world—he just refuses to be someone else’s puppet. And yeah, sometimes that means breaking rules, breaking trust, even breaking people. This story? It’s not about redemption or pity. It’s about a man the world calls a villain, but who’s just doing what he must to survive in a world that was never fair to begin with. He plays fate like a rigged game. The heroines? Destined for someone else? He rewrites that. Make them love him... because he can. The ‘son of heaven’? He crushes him, not for glory—but to show the heavens he’s not below them. Yeah, he lies. Makes promises he never plans to keep. He takes what he wants, even if it means tearing down everything in his way—including love. But if you look a little closer… beneath all that chaos and manipulation… there’s a heart. Not soft. Not perfect. But real. This isn’t the story of a man trying to be a villain. This is the story of a man who stopped pretending to be one. In this story, the heroines will feel. Really feel. Not just cry on cue or exist to fall in love—they’ll ache, rage, doubt, hope. And the villain? He’ll feel too. But not in the way that makes him soft or fragile. No, his emotions make him terrifying. He doesn’t run from what he feels—he owns it. Wields it. Turns it into fuel. So when he falls for someone, it’s not a weakness—it’s a warning. Because once he decides he wants her, he’ll make sure she falls too. Not by luck. Not by fate. By design. That’s the difference. He doesn’t fall in love hoping to be loved back. He falls in love, and then bends her world until it becomes inevitable. And no, he won’t save her out of pity. He’ll destroy anyone who touches what’s his—but never out of mercy. His pity is saved for people who were too shallow to understand him in the first place. See, this villain isn’t the typical archetype. He’s not cold for the sake of being cold. He’s not pretending to be empty inside. He feels more than anyone else—more than the heroines, more than the so-called heroes. That’s what makes him dangerous. He can love deeper. Hurt harder. Manipulate smarter. And that’s why he has to be just a little more ruthless than them all. Because in a world that demands you hide your heart to survive—he doesn’t hide it. He sharpens it.
