The Lord of Villains Is Just an Ordinary Civil Servant

For most, transmigrating into a fantasy world is the start of an epic adventure—wielding legendary weapons, gaining overpowered abilities, and living a life of grandeur. For our protagonist, however, it’s nothing but a bureaucratic nightmare. One moment, he was a burnt-out office worker finishing reports at midnight, and the next, he found himself inside Pinnacle of Mysteries, a cutthroat RPG infamous for its merciless difficulty. Worse, he’s not a hero, a villain, or even a major character—just an unknown captive on the verge of execution. To survive, he strikes an unlikely bargain with an ancient, forgotten being: the Lord of the Forgotten Abyss—a calamity sealed away long before the game's timeline even begins. Their pact grants him power, but it comes with a maddening catch: the Abyss Lord, for now, manifests as an overly proud fox with a tendency to give cryptic advice and demand extravagant meals. Navigating this world is far from easy. Powerful factions rule with an iron grip, and the forces of fate seem determined to shove him into the path of disasters. To make matters worse, he soon realizes that reality diverges from the game in ways he never expected. Events happen too early, key figures behave unpredictably, and unknown forces manipulate the world from the shadows. The storylines he once memorized? Useless. The safe zones? Now battlegrounds. The villainous factions? More fractured and cunning than they ever were in the game. As he struggles to piece together his place in this world, he finds himself entangled with figures who should be far beyond his reach. Yet, these are just the beginning of his troubles. The game’s hidden routes, thought to be mere flavour text by players, hold dark truths about the world's foundations. The Gods who shaped civilization have grown silent, and something ancient and hungry stirs beneath reality. Meanwhile, the villains he once dismissed as mere bosses—criminal lords, rogue sorcerers, and exiled royals—are beginning to notice him. Some want him dead, some want to use him, and some… some whisper that he may be exactly what they’ve been waiting for. Faced with conspiracies, betrayals, and relentless pursuit, he must navigate treacherous political landscapes, outwit enemies far beyond his level, and keep his not-so-helpful abyssal fox companion from making things worse. But as he delves deeper, one question haunts him: Did he truly transmigrate into the game he knew? Or was Pinnacle of Mysteries always something far, far greater? The Lord of Villains Is Just an Ordinary Civil Servant is a tale of deception, survival, and the absurdity of bureaucracy in a world where power reigns supreme. In a place where fate is written in blood and magic, he will have to carve out his own path—whether that means being a hero, a villain, or something else entirely. But really, all he wants is a stable job, a decent salary, and a way to avoid getting stabbed every other day. Unfortunately, fate has other plans.

No, I'll make both the North and South kneel and tremble under my skirt!” Clutching the mysterious diary left behind by the original owner in her left hand (which records the dirty dealings between the Southern aristocrats and the Northern politicians), and carrying the three mysterious “adopted sons” in her right hand (which are actually the artificial war machines in the Southern secret laboratories), Eleanor kicked away Alexander Hawthorne, the plantation owner who tries to control her by marriage, and threw the champagne into her hand, and then kicked her out of the room. Hawthorne, who pours champagne on a slave-state legislator's marriage agreement: “I have only two rules for parenting: teach my children to level slave estates with dynamite, and teach them to turn Northern generals with love letters.” --When the New York Times ridiculed her as a “slut stirring up the war through nepotism,” she took her adopted children to burn cotton fields live and force Lincoln to sign the Early Emancipation Proclamation; when Northern spies kidnapped her children, she backhandedly exposed the gold smuggling chain between General Grant and the Bank of the South, which was featured in the Washington Post.

Joy Davidson Series

In a world where the past never truly stays buried, Joy Davidson finds himself at the center of a mystery far greater than he ever imagined. What begins as a simple love story soon spirals into an intense battle for survival, scientific discovery, and the fight against a powerful force determined to control the future. Book 1: Joy Davidson – Into the Jungle Joy Davidson had everything—a promising career, the love of his life, and a secret he barely understood. On the night he planned to propose to Tia Carter, everything changed. One moment, he was in a candlelit restaurant; the next, he woke up in the depths of the Congo Basin, alone and hunted. Struggling to survive in an endless jungle with no memory of how he got there, Joy encounters deadly predators, an abandoned hut with a terrifying past, and a mysterious leopard he names Leo. As he forms an unlikely bond with the beast, he begins to piece together a chilling truth—his presence in the jungle is no accident. Someone sent him here, and they don’t plan on letting him leave. Meanwhile, back home, his daughter, Tina Davidson, finds a hidden diary, a cryptic map, and a strange stone linked to an ancient secret. As she and her cousin Roy dig deeper into Joy’s disappearance, they realize that his vanishing is connected to something far bigger than they ever imagined. But the jungle holds its own secrets, and as Joy fights for his life, he must uncover the truth before it’s too late.

Forced by Victor Esono, a ruthless billionaire with a dying son, Joy was pushed to create a cure—one that could either save a life or destroy countless others. And when he tried to escape, he paid the price. As Tina and Roy chase the truth, Joy is pulled back into a world of deception, blackmail, and scientific horrors. And when he’s abducted once more, he awakens in a place he knows all too well—the jungle. This time, he remembers everything. The virus inside him, the experiments on the animals, and the truth about Leo. With time running out, Joy must rally the jungle’s survivors—including Leo and the victims of the experiment—to take the fight back to those who wronged them.

Book 3: Joy Davidson – The Legacy The war isn’t over. With Joy missing once again and the jungle’s secrets spilling into the world, Tina and Roy must finish what he started. A single name holds the key—Henry Banner, the scientist who disappeared decades ago, leaving behind clues in the diary Joy left behind. As they uncover the final pieces of the puzzle, they realize the truth: Project Vitalix-X wasn’t just about a cure. It was about evolution. The virus isn’t just inside Joy—it’s inside Tina, Roy, and countless others. It’s changing them, and soon, the world will never be the same. With Victor Esono tightening his grip on power, the final battle begins. Tina must embrace her father’s legacy, Joy must face the monster he helped create, and Leo must lead the jungle’s warriors into a fight that will determine the fate of humanity itself. Because some secrets should remain buried. But when they surface, they rewrite history. And in the end, the jungle never forgets.

War Scars

The drums of war beat a relentless rhythm, echoing across the land and shaping the destinies of three individuals bound together by conflict yet driven by vastly different motivations. Their interwoven and complex stories paint a stark portrait of the human cost of war, shifting perspectives to reveal the brutal truths hidden beneath banners and battle cries. First, we meet Lairia Lights, a 20-year-old knight, the shining beacon of her kingdom. Her name, ironically, reflects the deceptive nature of her reality. Lairia is celebrated as a hero, a symbol of unwavering loyalty and strength. But beneath the polished armor and skilled swordsmanship lies a pawn. Her unwavering devotion to the crown makes her easily manipulated, a weapon wielded by those who prioritize power over principle. She believes in the righteousness of her kingdom’s cause, blindly charging into battles fueled by propaganda and a naive belief in honor. Her narrative is a cautionary tale of blind loyalty. Then there is Aaron Rodgers, an 18-year-old warrior consumed by the fires of revenge. Marked by his race and ostracized by prejudice, Aaron has known hardship since birth. The war has taken everything from him, leaving a burning desire to avenge the injustices inflicted upon his people. Unlike Lairia, Aaron sees the cracks in the kingdom’s facade. He understands the war not as a glorious crusade, but as a brutal land grab fueled by greed and power. His motivations are raw and visceral; he fights not for ideals, but for survival and retribution. His story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, even in the face of overwhelming adversity. Finally, we encounter Clayton Danks, a 37-year-old veteran warrior, a ghost haunted by the specters of his past. Clayton has seen too much, done too much. The war has stripped him of his innocence, leaving him burdened by the weight of his past mistakes. More profoundly, the war has cost him his family, the loss of his daughter a constant, agonizing reminder of the price of conflict. He grapples with PTSD, struggling to reconcile the man he once was with the broken individual he has become. Clayton’s story serves as a stark warning about the long-term consequences of war, the invisible wounds that fester long after the battles have ended. He represents the forgotten casualties, the veterans left to silently battle their demons while the world moves on. As the war intensifies, the paths of Lairia, Aaron, and Clayton are destined to intersect. Will Lairia’s blind loyalty finally be shattered, forcing her to confront the true nature of her kingdom? Can Aaron find solace beyond revenge, or will his thirst for retribution consume him? And will Clayton ever find peace, or is he doomed to forever wander the desolate landscape of his past?
