Não é uma escolha; é uma necessidade. Depois de ser atropelado por um caminhão como a maioria dos protagonistas sortudos (ou azarados), Vaan se viu transmigrado para o corpo de um órfão no mundo de bruxas e demônios. No entanto, eles nem sempre existiram. Demônios aterrorizam o mundo desde que o Reino de Gehenna desceu há mais de 300 anos. mas junto com eles, veio a mana, dando origem às bruxas para combater esses demônios. Desde então, o mundo dos homens foi dominado por bruxas, estabelecendo os sete reinos das bruxas, que protegem na linha de frente da invasão demoníaca. Para sobreviver na sociedade matriarcal dos reinos das bruxas, Vaan, como todos os outros homens que não podem usar magia, teve que aprender a servir às bruxas para sobreviver. No entanto, isso não veio sem seus próprios benefícios. Anos de pesquisa levaram o mundo à descoberta de que a intimidade entre homens e mulheres poderia aumentar a absorção de mana das bruxas. Mas ao mesmo tempo, os homens poderiam absorver parte dessa mana para melhorar seu físico e longevidade. Assim, desde então, formou-se uma relação intrincada entre homens e bruxas nos distritos da luz vermelha. O amor tornou-se casual e a dupla cultivação é comum. Como um prodígio na arte de agradar as mulheres, Vaan viveu suavemente por dois anos desde sua transmigração como órfão. No entanto, tudo desabou em um piscar de olhos um dia quando sua vida foi quase tirada, e Lady Eniwse, a quem ele servia, enlouqueceu. Mesmo assim, esse não foi o fim. Com o despertar do Sistema Caçador de Bruxas, veja como Vaan enfrenta o mundo e se torna o senhor das bruxas.

"Ah, Young Master, Cassius?...I'm afraid you'll be dissapointed to hear that he's not available at the moment as he's 'attending' to his adopted mother in her room." Cassius's lovely maid, Isabelle said in a fluster while she heard lewd sounds escape from her Mistress's room. "No, I'm sorry to say that you can't meet Young Master today, since he's 'helping out' his sister-in-law with some 'favours' in her garden." The innocent Isabelle excused herself as she witnessed her lady's flower being picked, instead of the rest of the flowers in the garden. "I hate to say this sir but Young Master, Cassius is currently guiding Miss Knight in the 'ways of the sword', so you can probably only meet him tomorrow." Isabelle once again blocked the guests from entering, knowing that the sword her Young Master was handling could penetrate a body, but could never wound one. "I apologise once again as Young Master is at the Capital right now teaching a class to the female students in the Academy." Isabelle said with her cheeks flushed, already knowing that her master was taking a very 'practical' lesson about human reproduction with the girls in his class. "Oh my! The King wants to meet the Young Master?...Well I guess he'll have to wait since Young Master, Cassius has gone clothes shopping with the Queen." Isabelle lied to the King himself, knowing that her Young Master wasn't shopping for clothes and was actually removing the royal clothes off the Mother of the Country. Excuses...Excuses...The loyal maid, Isabelle had no choice but to make excuses for her Young Master, who was the most talked about and hated noble on the Continent because of his depraved escapades with all sorts of woman ranging from his own Family to Royalty itself and his Tyranical rule over his estate. And to think that not too long ago he was considered a wastrel noble, who was going to drink himself to death one day. ...When did it all begin she wondered as she excitedly walked into his room to get the reward she deserved for being such a loyal made, while someone else made excuses for her this time. •°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°• [No NTR - No Yuri - No sharing - No system that assists the protagonist - No mind control - No drugs or potions that influence the girls - No unnecessary Drama - Incest - Harem - Hardcore Netori - Slice of Life Romance - Demigirls - Elves - Vampires - Beast Girls - Slaves - Royalty - Finally a very competent protagonist] discord.gg/ujeKWchgeb

Villain System: Activated > Alignment: Chaotic Evil Objective: Obey the plot, serve the empire, die like a good villain. Yeah, no thanks. I woke up as Dorian Valen—sadistic noble, arsonist, war criminal, mid-tier villain with a face everyone wants to stab. The story wants me to beg for my life, cough up secrets, and die at sunrise so the hero can get a shiny new power-up. Been there, read that. But I'm not here to follow the script. I'm here to flip the table. I’ll expose the cracks in the empire, dismantle the hero’s halo, weaponize every trope, and corrupt the system that tried to cage me. And if I have to burn the world down to do it? Well… I’ve got the villain system. Might as well make it earn its name.

Roland died and transmigrated into the body of the third son of a Baron. Having reincarnated, at first he looked forward to the grace of the system or any other golden finger; alas, it seemed not everyone was lucky. In the end, he accepted that those were fantasies, whereas this was reality. Being the third son, he couldn't inherit land according to laws; however, he had a bit of warrior aptitude suitable to become a knight. Knowing that this might cause trouble in succession later, his father enrolled him in the army. Several years later, he became a 3rd-rank knight in the Beginner Stage and was going to be promoted but was injured when he tried to save the commander of his battalion. Amidst that, he received shocking news about his family's demise due to a monster tide, leaving him alone to inherit the barony. Weighing the pros and cons, he decided to escape from the risky venture and settle in a poor backwater barony village to lead a peaceful life; however... Just when he thought it was over, he awakened the Children's Blessing System. [Host's child detected, Family System activated.] [Begin testing the child's aptitude.] "What, for real?"

Apollo was a genius who was talented enough to achieve big things in his life, but because of a rare genetic disorder, everything came to an abrupt end.

Knowing that this might be his second chance, he decided to do everything he could to create a good and free life for himself. But surprisingly, this world is not simple, as there are beings with extraordinary power who can control the lives and deaths of others, giants who can crush mountains, dragons who can burn the seas, and many more. So now, to truly achieve his goals, Apollo needs to learn and adapt to this new world where life and death can be matters of thought.

Delrose Reginald is just another child of nobility, one who doesn't bow to authority. When she goes too far, her punishment is camp Greel: A summer retreat deep in the forest for misbehaving nobles. But that's only part of the story. Something is happening to the people there. They're turning rabid. Now, it's simply a story about survival. Or is it? --- The Wayward Nobles is an apocalyptic dark fantasy packed with political intrigue and a complex ensemble cast, all with important weight in the story. It's a tale of autonomy, duty, and love. And how the worst and best in us emerges in tragedy.

"Ni los dioses podrán impedir que reclame mi felicidad Ya perdí a mi familia, ya perdí mi motivo, renuncie a mi destino por un poder que se me fue arrebatado, y atrapado en un mundo donde no pertenezco. Solo quiero regresar aquel momento donde fui feliz, y ningún dios me detendrá." ¿Lograra Marl cumplir su único deseo? ¿O se hundirá en la envidia de los dioses?

I'm just a mercenary who accidentally got caught in the Eroge world and became a side character who has a hard time surviving after becoming a fallen noble.

Leon Thorne was the disgrace of his house, overweight, softspoken, and dismissed as a failure before he ever picked up a sword. Mocked during the Awakening and branded an F-rank, he was expected to fade quietly from the halls of power. But he didn’t. Because this wasn’t his first life. In another timeline, Leon watched House Thorne fall, shamed, scattered and erased from history. Powerless to stop it then, he’s been given one chance to rewrite it now. Stripped of excuses and reshaped by hardship, Leon claws his way forward—through blood, sweat and silence. Now, leaner and sharper, he enters an academy where only strength speaks and legacy decides your worth. But Leon carries no crest. No backing. Just scars, a sword, and the will to shatter fate itself. He’s not looking to be acknowledged or praised. He’s going to rewrite everything. NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES.

I who was a novel reader transferred to another world. I'm a minor villain, but my beating was already over. With that my peaceful life awaits... or so I thought.

El poder, corroe, envenena, manipula, compromete. Sin embargo todos podemos alegar que hay diferentes formas de tener poder. Pero el que reina sobre todos ellos. Es el poder del conocimiento, el conocerlo todo de todos, conocer los más oscuros secretos de alguien. Destruye. Somete. Eso es ella. Poder. Cuidado, jamás lograrás saber cuales son sus alcances, sobre todo, de lo que es capaz.

It seems that my previous synopsis was not very clear, so here is the clarification: An ordinary man dies and has the opportunity to be reincarnated, but after making a mistake in front of the goddess or basically desecrating her in his thoughts, he is punished by being reborn as a woman. But later, he discovers a method to temporarily recover his male body (legacy of lust). However, his endless desire will be the least of his problems. This world is nothing like the fantasy he dreamed. “As for genres, there's a little bit of everything: Harem, Romance, Comedy, Yandere, Yuri, MILFs, Lolis, Elves, woman-beast, Demons, Dragons, Gigantes, Priestesses, Androids, incest, Group Action, Futa, a little bit of SM, and much more. If it captures your interest, great!!!”. Here is the original synopsis>>>>> "Wait, you turned me into a woman just because I imagined that? I didn’t know you could read minds—that’s not fair!" (He had defiled her in his imagination in five different ways, each worse than the last.) After his death, a goddess granted him reincarnation in another world. But his uncontrollable lust angered her, and as punishment, she turned him into a woman. "Stop!... Don’t make that choice," warned an old voice. Through an encounter beyond reason, he learns the truth: this world is nothing like the fantasy he imagined. It is brutal, merciless, and those who let their guard down don’t live long. He also discovers a method to temporarily regain his male form. Now, drawn into a battle for power where even the gods take sides, he fights not only for revenge, survival, and ambition, but also to protect those he holds dear—and everything he has built. In this second life, forged by sacrifices beyond his comprehension, he will carve his own path… no matter the cost.

Terra II, a world divided into seven vast plates, where endless deserts and black zones carve through the land. It is a place haunted by horrors from beyond existence and nightmares birthed from within. The Common Era, an age where the very idea of happiness has been left behind. Here, no story begins with joy, and none end with peace. One mistake—a wrong word, a fleeting gesture—can seal your fate before you even realize it. At the heart of this desolate world is ---, a woman whose life has been defined by loss. Her parents, ones she knew little of, were replaced by strangers in the aftermath of tragedy—only to lose them too. In a world so unrelenting, where trust is a fragile illusion and loyalty is a fleeting dream, how long can one endure before breaking? --- fights not because she wants to, but because there is no other choice. Every decision she makes chips away at what remains of her conscious, yet the alternative is worse: surrendering to the darkness that threatens to consume her and everything she holds dear. Terra II offers no promises, only pain—but even in the face of an inevitable end, --- stands, battered and unyielding, daring to face the horrors and make her choice, if only to survive one more day.

Looks like ruling the universe is going to be a very very enjoyable journey... *Quite a bit of lemon ;) --- This is my first novel, so please take some pity on me. I'm open and ready to receive any and all criticism, so please don't hold back either. I plan to have some fun with this, but won't go overboard anywhere. The MC won't bang every woman he sees but he'll definitely have some fun. The MC isn't a villain or a monster but he definitely isn't a hero either, (he is a bit crazy with his chunnibyou attitude, but I promise its only for the first few chapters) I plan to make him a little politician like, where his subjects and citizens have quite a good opinion of him, intentionally or unintentionally. Alright then! Sit back and enjoy the ride :) Please read as much as you can, it really helps me going! *No yuri. No NTR

"You don't lead by being right. You lead by doing what must be done—even if it ruins you." Ruel Varelli, the only son of a disgraced noble house, lives in exile at the Empire’s forgotten edge—a dying town where even hope seems too expensive. At eighteen, he finally attempts his long-awaited Talent Awakening… and fails. Branded with a lowly D-rank ability, Cold Touch, Ruel's dreams of reclaiming his family's honor seem more out of reach than ever. But when a strange screen appears before him, everything changes. [You have gained access to Enma and you have obtain its system!] [You have received millions of En Coins!] [Your talent has been upgraded!] [Quest: Raise your family to Royal Status.] With access to a hidden world, game-like systems, and a vault of otherworldly resources, Ruel begins a quiet revolution—from the shadows of exile to the halls of power. Yet the power he awakens isn't just new. Ruel inherits more than lost treasures—he inherits the legacies his forefathers buried: old alliances, buried enemies, and the unresolved wars they left behind. What starts as a mission to uplift his name becomes a struggle across worlds—one that unearths buried truths, invites divine intervention, and places Ruel at the center of something far greater than legacy. This is the rise of the boy history will remember as the one who turned disgrace into destiny. The one most often remembered alongside the phrase: "Grass to Grace." - - - Additional Tags: Interworld Travel • Politics • Strategic Power Climb • War • Godly Interference •
