Trope Talk Anti Hero

In the realms of the gods lies a threat so powerful that even the most powerful factions turned to ash overnight. As the last bastion of hope among the gods, the goddess of love summoned a hero to save the universe, but every other hero hates him. What's more, even the threat itself is against him more than anything.

So here I am—Nash, the most unmotivated hero you’ll ever meet. One day, I’m binging my favorite shows, and the next, I’m the new big boss of a Warden guild. Timing has never really been my thing. Between the Malefics, who think chaos is their calling card, and mythical beasts that just won’t stay in their hidden lairs, I’m constantly juggling crises and wrangling spoiled brats during my coffee breaks. And Mana, that subtle energy, can be a decent buddy… even if it doesn’t really get the concept of “snooze.” So yeah, between naps, I’m wading through high-stakes missions, magical artifacts, and guild meetings. And if the world needs saving, I’m here—ready to do it in my pajamas. That’s Nash, your guild master, set to ruffle even the coolest dragons! --- Discord: https://discord.gg/HrY5epthyw Participated on the Webnovel Rising Star II

Updates @ 21:00 (+8 gmt) Leander is a healer. But he is not like those healers who have it all: the fame, the money and the harems. Because he is chubby. Ranked only F, he struggles with life as a new recruit in the Adventurer's Guild. Until he sees a poster that changes his life and sends him on a journey to lose weight, get the fame, money and the harem. Except, his harem will be full of men. But, such is fate. This is a slow burn BL harem with dungeon delving. It follows the old adventurer's guild troupes with some twists and turns. A journey from zero to hero, one could say. (I am using this book to lie to my brain that losing weight is possible with the methods written in the many self-help books I have been reading recently. If you need to shed some fat, you might use Anti-cake Dungeon Delving the same way. A little hope never hurt nobody.) Updated daily. The MC becomes a dungeon core going chapter 86 and forward. You can find the story only on Webnovel. (Fingers crossed that no one will translate it into Russian like the other one! XD) The sequel, Life Skilling, is also complete, and will be posted right after the ending of Anti-cake. A peek in the lives of those who live in the world shaped by the Try Hard Party. A funny slice of life.

Apollo grew up alone with no parents until came the time that his true strength unleashed and the people admire him.

Discord: https://discord.gg/PX3xqJdZMY I closed my eyes with a sigh and let the needle slip through limp fingers. It wasn’t like anyone would miss me. 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.

with the ability to shapeshift into an alter ego, an opposite, Timothy had been shoved aside from his dream of becoming a superhero. I mean, he couldn't fly, he couldn't shoot lasers, hell, he couldn't even lift more than 50 pounds. but, what he lacked, his opposite, did not. and despite being thinner than he was normally as a nerdy teenage boy, this form, this girl, was stronger, faster, smarter, and most importantly, darker, than he was. and where timothy couldn't even swat a fly, this other half, this yang to yin, could not only build her own guns, but had absolutely zero issues using them on people who pissed her off. translation: Timothy, wasn't a hero. his alter, Samantha, was a rogue vigilante by the name of, "Bounty Hunter" and everyone was gunning for her head, hero, villain, and police alike, it didn't matter, none of them wanted her to remain on the streets. not that she cared, in fact, in her own words, "a party aint a party till the shit hits the fan!" a sentence, most often anyway, shouted at the top of her lungs, just barely audible over the sound of roaring, never ending, belt fed machine gun fire. so, are you ready to dive headfirst into a tale of twos, a tale of halves and sides, a tale of gray, a tale of neither good, nor evil? a tale, somewhere in the middle.

Discord Link for those interested [https://discord.gg/TGc9yymDJP] One may think that in order to be a Hero you must have a pure soul, and untainted heart, but in reality such a thing is impossible; now one's soul is pure, nor is anyone's heart untainted, Gods aren't even exempt from this rule. No, a True Hero is someone who knows they have an impure soul and tainted heart, yet they embrace it, instead of attempting to deny their very nature; however, not all True Heros are the same, some have different beliefs and/or ideals. Yet at the end of the day, no matter how terrible or bleak the situation looks, you can always count on a True Hero to act as a beacon of light that'll show you the correct path, but for you to take, you must embark on it yourself.

Stories... They are one of the major essences of life -- abundant everywhere, yet barely noticed. Don't believe it? Think... That colleague of yours that recently got fired, do you think of them often? Regardless, their life is a story. The old man you saw while walking down the street, how is he now? You probably don't know, but he has his own story. That acquaintance you've always known to be an orphan? They definitely have a story. Finally, that web novel author whose writing you mocked? They must have quite a few, including their own (you might just be part of one). The difference is that the ones deemed uninteresting and clichéd are not seen, heard or read by outsiders. ------------------------------------------------------------------ This specific story is about a man who thought his life was decent - maybe even better than that with his recent achievements. And it truly might've been if the poor soul went unnoticed by the cruel hands of fate. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Try and read this newbie author's attempt of granting this man a story that would be considered his... and only his.

Those who attempt to do battle with her will not find themselves facing off against a weapon, but rather, the tall, curvaceous woman’s huge backside. Using her rear to her advantage, Zaraya combats her foes by sitting on their faces, where she squashes and smothers them into submission while her lustful, dominating side emerges with their face submerged in her big butt. Set in a fantasy RPG world, classes from all walks of life set upon the unassuming village of Unkergotten, where those who intrude or threaten the safety of the townsfolk will face the wrath of Zaraya- and her booty.
