Starting Anew Finding Myself

I chose to be the Villain myself.

A MC, deeply dissatisfied with his life, is reincarnated into a world where a goddess has summoned 100 souls to save her dying planet. These souls are promised a return to Earth five years in the past after defeating the demon overlord. However, the MC strongly opposes this return, even with the promise of a five-year rewind. He instead decides to become a villain, preventing the heroes from killing the demon overlord. His goal is to ensure the demon overlord remains alive so he can stay in this new world and enjoy his overpowered abilities. However, he must also prevent the demon overlord from destroying the planet, ensuring a peaceful and long-lasting second life. As the MC delves deeper into his new world, he begins to strategically undermine the efforts of the other summoned souls. Using his overpowered abilities and cunning, he manipulates events from the shadows, turning hero factions against each other and sabotaging their quests without revealing himself. However, he soon realizes that the other heroes are growing stronger and more organized, especially with the help of the goddess’s guidance. To counteract this, the MC seeks alliances with powerful non-human factions—beasts, demons, and other creatures who have also been oppressed by the heroes. Despite his villainous intentions, these alliances are built on shared interests, and some non-human factions even see him as a savior. As the heroes grow closer to the demon overlord's stronghold, the MC is forced to take more drastic actions to maintain his hidden villainy. He begins using forbidden magic and ancient artifacts to control the battlefield, ensuring the demon overlord remains alive while subtly keeping the overlord’s destructive tendencies in check. Along the way, the MC's power attracts attention from both sides—some of the heroes start suspecting a traitor in their ranks, and the demon overlord begins to sense a mysterious force aiding him. Meanwhile, the MC grapples with the risk of losing control over the demon overlord and his growing notoriety among powerful enemies. His delicate balance of villainy and peace becomes harder to maintain. Tensions rise as the goddess herself becomes suspicious of the strange anomalies surrounding the heroes’ quests, leading her to send a powerful champion directly after the MC. This forces the MC to come out of the shadows more frequently, engaging in battles with both the goddess’s forces and the heroes, though he still carefully hides his true identity. At the same time, the MC starts developing deeper relationships with some of the non-human factions, questioning whether he’s still acting for purely selfish reasons or if he’s starting to care about the people and the world itself. The conflict between heroes, non-humans, and the demon overlord grows, with the MC positioned precariously in the center of it all. In the final confrontation, the MC’s hidden machinations are exposed, and the heroes, demon overlord, and the goddess herself all turn their attention toward him. With the future of the world hanging in the balance, the MC must decide whether to fully embrace his role as a villain or find a way to create peace between all factions without the destruction of either side. His choices will determine not only his fate but the fate of both Earth and the new world, forcing him to confront the deeper reasons behind his desire to stay and the true nature of the power he wields. In the end, his manipulation of the demon overlord, the heroes, and even the goddess will come to a head in a battle of wills and ideals.

The Princes War ~ Finding Leana

Volume 1: Ana Devon has a big secret, she is pregnant against her husband's wishes. On the day Ana finds out she is carrying her husbands heir he presents her with divorce papers. Ana's pride won't allow her to take anything from the man that is casting her aside after she nursed him back to health. Alone and determined to survive Ana flees for the city but as darkness descends and rain pours down she faces the prospect of sleeping in the woods until morning. When a car pulls up beside her and a man steps out shielding her with his umbrella Ana knows better than to accept the ride from this handsome stranger but her options are bleak. Against her better judgement she agrees to a ride. Can Ana trust the stranger and what is his connection to her husband? Are any of these people who they say are? Could it really be a decades old coincidence or is destiny haunting Ana and what does royalty have to do with any of it? ***My cover reflects the volume currently being uploaded. The covers shows Scott and Ana. Volume 2: With a health crisis looming and the princes at odds, can this strange family find a way to persevere? How can Ana be the lost queen of the pirate nation of Althinia? Wait, pirates? That's ancient history, right? AUTHOR NOTE: The first forty chapters are written in various points of view but often from a male perspective. This is story is a primarily female voiced story. After chapter 44 the split is about 90/10 female to male. The story arc demanded that the male characters are well fleshed out because most of the rest of the story is about the lead female and her story arc. I hope that helps to answer some questions.

QT: Finding Meaning

*** My health has been very poor this year alongside loosing my mother-in-law and cat so I'm sorry but this will be rewritten and finished when I'm well, I'm doing it all offline in my rare creative moments, hopefully with a more mature touch *** [WARNING: Mature Themes (smut, violence, murder, suicide, domestic violence, etc.)] --------- Waking up naked and alone with a murderer, without a single memory, she relies on System to understand her existence in another person's body. --------- Still don't know if you should read me? Here's a quick breakdown to help you make up your mind if this novel is right for you: This is my own twist on the QuickTransmigration System genre, giving it a more 'spiritual' twist. It explores sensitive themes throughout each arc and I will do my best to give trigger warnings at the start of chapters containing them. It is written in the first person and revolves around a female lead (FL). This is a weak-to-strong novel, she will have heavy flaws and make repeated mistakes and seem generally weak at the start, bear with her as she grows. Romance is a heavy theme within the story that contains a lot of smut, with more than one character. However, there is only one male lead in the end. The story is less about fluffy romance, instead, it's a journey of growth and self-discovery, revolving around the main storyline. Although, each Arc will have its own separate storyline that will have an impact on the main storyline with both new and reoccurring characters (so skipping arcs is not advised). I have currently written the rough drafts for four arcs at the point of writing this: 1. Ghosts & Guns 2. How do you keep a child alive in the Zombie Apocalypse? 3. Abducted by Aliens 4. Freed by the Fae Folk 5. .... --------- --------- Cover Art made by myself, using nightcafe AI Art, check out my page, I'm attempting to make novel art and character art for each arc: https://creator.nightcafe.studio/u/Raychbunni

Starting With The End

“Let’s make things right now, shall we?” An otaku, socially awkward, 20 years old Airi Shin, was peacefully living her university life, without a hitch. Until her life changed overnight, as she faced an accident on Christmas by a white car running over her. Soon the light before her eyes started to fade away. But when she woke up, she found herself somewhere she wasn’t supposed to be. While she was wondering when and how she landed up there, a man came to her, offering her a chance. To make everything right where it went wrong, and change her fate. Getting to know her entire situation, she met new people, some new situations, and some new feelings bloomed. —————— “That guy is a threat to her, and I will do anything to prevent them from meeting, even if they are fated, to protect her smile,” Ryo swore to himself, while seeing a bright smile on Airi’s face. —————— “I know it might be rude of me now, but can I be your acquaintance once again?” Carter expectantly asked Airi, when the bright moonlight poured over her, making her the most beautiful in the world. —————— “Get the hell out of my sight! Get out! You should’ve been dead all along!” Airi was never bothered by any harsh words, and Shiro was no one to her. Yet somehow, him saying all of this while looking at her with hatred, pierced her heart so badly that she couldn’t stop the tears rolling down her eyes. —————— “I won’t let your lifetimes be filled in despair ever again, I will help you to resolve your regrets in every lifetime, so can it be me?” eyes filled with emotions, Ryo said it to her. And there is this voice, which keeps ringing in her head. A voice so deep, pleading to her every time on her deathbed. “Don’t go! Don’t die on me again!” “I don’t deserve to be by his side, but I want to… and it hurts…” Airi broke into tears, while nature was also harmonizing with her, pouring rain. So many loose ends to tie, so many regrets to resolve. Amidst all of this, will Airi be able to make her life better? Will she be able to deal with the unknown yet oddly familiar events unfolding before her? In between all of this, will their love really bloom? Or it will dry out before that, and fade away in the pages of their lives? —————— Yosh, y'all! This is my very first attempt to write something down. And it’s totally my imaginary world, where I used a tid-bits of reality, so if anything hurts or triggers you, allow me to let you know that whatever I did here, totally for the sake of my story, and of course no harm intended. Caution alert! There are multiple male leads, but who would be the main lead that is the question! Say it love triangle, rectangle, pentangle, whatever you fit ;-; *The cover photo is something I found and edited according to my choice and preferences, so definitely credits to the rightful owner!* Join my discord: https://discord.gg/22JepJWX4D IG: @namcandy101 FB: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100073239561050 (Search Nam Candy)
