She then met with the icy red eyes that brood down upon her appearance, drinking into every inch of her figure as if he was studying her, even to how those breaths escaped her lips. "I thought we had bonded over the days we have spent together, Bella," he sang, his bright scarlet eyes betraying the singing tone he had used as it had grown so dark and filled with anger. "Yet you left so quickly as soon as I opened the castle gate." Bella gritted her teeth, her eyes glaring at him as she defiantly shook his hand off her face, "I can remind you if you have forgotten it, Your Majesty, I am kept here against my wish." Cassius' smile faded as he stared at her. The sudden pin-drop silence filled her nerves with tension as she found his smileless face the most terrifying sight.

"You're not the first one I have broken my promises with," she gritted her teeth and looked up at him, "I broke my promise the way you broke yours first, isn't it fair?" "Fair? Then was everything a lie, Arabella?" he murmured, his hands cupping her face, forcing her to meet his eyes. "You were mine the moment you entered my castle. And you will be mine until the very end." She gulped as his eyes shone underneath the moonlight, his gaze unforgiving over her, exposing his wild hunger. Her breath caught, her pulse quickening. "A human and a vampire should have never stayed together. They were all right." "I don't care," he spoke through his clenched jaw. "You're going to remain here by my side forever."

Lucias never imagined his life would end like this—lying broken on the floor of an S-rank dungeon, his comrades reduced to lifeless corpses, and the burning agony of Cerberus' jaws tearing through him. He could accept death, but not like this—not at the mercy of an L-grade monster that should never have existed here. Once again, humanity's so-called flawless system had failed spectacularly, and Lucias was paying the ultimate price. As the world faded into darkness, one desperate thought consumed him: "If only I could see how that novel ends..." For years, Lucias' life revolved around one story, an epic saga featuring a legendary hero whose blade felled dragons, demons, and even gods. It wasn't just entertainment—it was his lifeline, inspiration in his mundane ranker existence. He knew the novel's plot intimately, admired its hero endlessly, and longed desperately to witness its conclusion. Now, bleeding out on dungeon stone, regret burned deeper than any wound. But death didn't claim him. Instead, Lucias awoke in a grand bedroom, luxurious yet unfamiliar. Beside him stood an elderly butler, refined in a pristine suit, who addressed him with reverence: "Lord Seth." Reality struck Lucias like lightning. Seth—the notorious villain, fated for tragedy, destined to die at the hands of the very hero Lucias once idolized. Of all people to transmigrate into, why had fate cruelly chosen him to become the novel's detestable antagonist? Armed with knowledge of the future, Lucias resolves to rewrite destiny. But as he navigates treacherous politics, hidden threats, and complicated relationships—including a prince whose fate is entwined with his own—Lucias must confront a terrifying truth: to survive as a villain, he must embrace darkness without losing himself to it.

[Version 1] “You wanted a serious marriage with me, that's what you said. And now you’re trying to secretly meet your brother,” Vance said, pushing Liquorice onto the bed. At that moment, their eyes met. Liquorice could see dangerous gold sparks radiating strongly from his usually harmless black eyes. And she can smell the scent of the forest after the rain, that was Vance’s pheromone. “Yes. I tried, but what you did was push me away. Vance, our marriage is only political, you said so,” Liquorice replied firmly. “Are you angry with me about it?” Vance took his duchess’s hand and placed a kiss on her beautiful hand. His voice was as seductive as the sing of the fairy Anastasia. However, this time, Liquorice wouldn’t be weak, “This is a political marriage, I have no reason to be angry.” “Then why do you keep saving me, over and over again?” Vance looked into his duchess’s emerald eyes, unable to hide his confident smile.

Because she had been trained to be a spy for the past year. Liquorice understood that she was just a small pawn on the chessboard of men. Who will Liquorice choose? What will be the end of the battle between the Reds and the Blues? Are there any other plots going on?

Zapp was an author, a dreamer — and a dying man. His final breath came not with fear, but with regret. He left behind his sister, his only family, and the unfinished novel he poured his soul into: a brutal, unforgiving world governed by an ironclad System. When his eyes opened again, he wasn’t in a hospital bed. He woke up inside his own creation — not as the omniscient author, but as the protagonist he never finished writing. Weak. Overlooked. Disposable. But this wasn’t a blessing. It wasn’t mercy. The System didn’t bring him back to save him — it brought him back to test him. Armed with a rare Hybrid class — Mage, Healer, Swordsman — Zapp must claw his way up from the bottom, mastering magic, swordsmanship, and recovery alike. The System offers no handouts, only quests and consequences. Strength isn’t enough. Survival demands efficiency, precision, and control. The academy is a battlefield in disguise — nobles reign supreme, bloodlines dictate power, and outsiders like him are meant to fall in line or vanish. But Zapp doesn’t play by their rules. Because he knows one truth no one else does: The System is not the enemy. It’s the ultimate weapon — and if he masters it, this world will belong to him. But survival is only the first step. His sister is trapped in this world too. He will protect her. And if anyone stands in his way — noble, monster, or the world itself — he’ll tear through them with cold, relentless efficiency. He built this world. Now, he’s going to master it. ─────────────────────── Genre: Regression Isekai | LitRPG | Dark Fantasy | Magic Academy | Slow Burn Power Progression Themes: Survival Through Strategy | Control vs. Fate | Family Bonds | Tactical Combat | Noble Politics ───────────────────────
