Borrow Misery

Everyone in the kingdom of Velmora is born with a Soulmark, a glowing Sigil on their skin that determines their abilities and future. Warriors, Sorcerers, each person's fate is sealed the moment their Soulmark appears. Except for Solene. She was born with a blank soulmark, no power, no future nothing. Branded as a 'Hollow' she is cast aside, seen as worthless for years. She struggles just to survive, moving from town to town, enduring rejection, hardship and betrayal. But when she is captured and thrown into the brutal gladiator pit, something awakens her. A fire she never knew existed. Solene's power doesn't just manifest, it erupts. Unlike others, she doesn't have the usual ability. She can borrow and evolve any power she encounters. But there's a problem. She must endure the same pain the original wielder faced when their ability first awakened.

Lucian Vale wasn’t meant to be important. He wasn’t meant to be anything. A coward by nature, too bitter to live but too terrified to die. His plan was simple—wander until fate finally put him out of his misery. Then the universe, in its endless spite, threw him into a Dimensional Portal. Now, trapped in the space between worlds, Lucian wakes up with an ability he never asked for—Dimensional Summoner. A power that not only lets him summon creatures to fight in his place but also ensures he evolves into a Dimensional Being himself. With an absurdly broken Evolution Class, he walks the cosmos, spreading misery and chaos. He was neither a hero, nor a villain. Just a nobody consumed by jealousy. ------- Additional Tags : #Level up #Monsters

"If fate wants me to suffer, it should have picked someone else!" —Raven. Raven wakes up as the protagonist of his favorite novel. He knows the brutal storyline that makes grown men weep.

He has knowledge of the plot, but no clue what twists the author hid beyond what he read. He has a choice to suffer like before or rewrite everything, and he decides to rewrite. The tragic twists? Fuck them The heartbreaking losses? Skip them Pointless sacrifices? Save them No more misery for the sake of character growth. This time, he is writing his own legend and a story worth remembering!

Choi Hyun-woo always wanted to be in the spotlight. Tired of being invisible, he abandoned his struggling mother and small-town life to chase a dream—becoming a famous actor. But reality was harsh. He had no talent, no presence, and worst of all, no understanding of emotions. When his mother falls gravely ill, Hyun-woo returns home for the first time in years. Only then does he learn the truth—the endless sacrifices she made, the humiliations she endured, and the love he never appreciated. Crushed by regret, he finds himself praying at an old temple, desperate for a miracle. And then… fate changes. Now, every time he completes a mission—living someone else’s life—he returns with something real. A skill, an emotion, an experience. Piece by piece, he begins to transform. From a talentless nobody to a legendary actor. But at what cost?

Handling of weapons, including in magical form. Murder, manslaughter and the normal dose of intoxicants such as drugs, tobacco and enchantments. Human lives are more likely to be regarded as collateral damage here. When spirits, gods and demons fight each other, you shouldn't attach too much importance to that. Trust, a stable environment, mental health and spiritual mentality are also reduced to rubble. Friends, family, cities and entire regions. Have fun :D
