But power comes at a price. The deeper he delves, the more he realizes that something watches from beyond the veil of existence, waiting… for him. When the light of the world begins to fracture and forgotten gods stir, Niko must make a choice: become the villain history will fear or the last hope of a world on the brink of ruin. The chains have been broken. The darkness calls. Will he answer?

This shed a new light to the already dark path and there is hope for revival.

He has only one goal which is to survive. "Life was better when I had not met anyone. Now I have people I care about. People I have to protect."

Qin Feng is reborn, but not as a powerful hero—instead, he finds himself as an unborn baby, still developing in his mother’s womb. To make matters worse, his twin brother, Qin Hao, has awakened an Epic Chosen One System, granting him protagonist-like abilities. Just as Qin Feng fears he will become a mere background character, a cold voice echoes in his mind: Ding! Congratulations, host! The Universe’s Super Invincible Villain System has been activated! Qin Feng is stunned—he has a system too?! The world they are in, called Ancient Desolation, is filled with demons, immortals, and mighty cultivators who can split mountains and call forth storms. The strong dominate, while the weak perish. Qin Feng, however, seems utterly ordinary and fears he won’t survive even three chapters. But unexpectedly, he is born into the Qin Family—the most powerful clan in the world! His father, Qin Yun, is the patriarch of the Qin Family, and his mother, Yun Xiyue, is a former saintess of the Taibai Immortal Mountain. Not only that, but the Qin Family elders have delayed his birth by 100 years using secret techniques to ensure he is born with immense potential. However, before he can even enjoy this advantage, his brother Qin Hao starts absorbing all the divine energy meant for him! Qin Feng, feeling his power being drained, watches in horror as his brother’s Chosen One Halo is activated, granting absurd boosts like +9999 luck, +9999 comprehension, and even a +99999 reincarnation chance for family members! Realizing that being the protagonist’s older brother is a death flag, Qin Feng panics. But then, his own Villain System kicks in. Ding! Detected Epic Chosen One—Villain System activating… Qin Feng realizes he’s doomed to be the villain. Knowing how protagonists operate, he makes a vow: Avoid wealth, avoid women, avoid attention, never take disciples, never start a sect, and NEVER laugh like a villain. His system, however, cruelly reminds him: Host is greedy, lustful, loves boasting, and has a flamboyant personality. It is impossible for you to live quietly. Furious, Qin Feng tries to resist his fate but is immediately granted overpowered abilities: Emperor’s Potential Halo – Increases all attributes tenfold! Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Technique – A god-tier cultivation technique! Full-Power Red-Haired Demon King Experience Ticket – Grants invincibility for 24 hours, but has a 10-year cooldown! Drunk on power, Qin Feng embraces his villainous nature and kicks his twin brother inside the womb, earning Villain Points for bullying the protagonist! His constant abuse causes Qin Hao to cry, while Qin Feng smugly declares: “A true gentleman must strike with great force to establish dominance!” Meanwhile, outside the womb, Qin Feng’s mother notices something strange—her unborn son is actively absorbing spiritual energy! This shocks the Qin Family, as such a phenomenon suggests that he possesses a legendary inborn cultivation technique! Upon hearing this, the powerful Qin Family Elders immediately gather, declaring that Qin Feng has the potential of a future Emperor! Three years pass, and Qin Feng refuses to be born, spending his time absorbing resources and bullying Qin Hao daily to farm more Villain Points. By the time he is finally ready to be born, he has already accumulated over 33,200 Villain Points! As the Qin Family prepares for his birth, ready to welcome their future ruler, Qin Feng smirks in his mother’s womb. "Three years have passed… Now, it’s time for me to dominate the world!"

In the Land of Seven Continents In the vast expanse of the Seven Continents, countless immortal sects and divine mansions dotted the land, and millions of cultivators thrived like stars in the night sky. Yet, the path of cultivation was never an easy one. Thus, it was often said among mortals and cultivators alike, "The difficulty of cultivation is akin to scaling the heavens themselves." But the man standing there, sword in hand, gazed up at the sky and simply shook his head. "It’s not difficult." To scale the heavens was not difficult. To slay the heavens... was not difficult either. [--------------------------------------------] Enjoyed the chapter?

Rita Oreira, a fun-loving radio host known for her girly gossip, met a tragic end during a home burglary while trying to save her pet parrot. Surprisingly, she transmigrated into a fantasy novel as Lirian Nightwind, a quirky villainess from an evil family, destined to marry the wicked northern duke, Gabriel Sylcrest, who planned to take over the crown. In the original story, Lirian was set to betray Gabriel, leading to her own death by his hands. Fortunately and unfortunately for her, the new Lirian was protected by her two mischievous brothers, who were supposed to die alongside the duke. Their loyalty complicated her plans to escape the dark fate that awaited them all. In this new world, she had to scheme and do unspeakable things with the lunatic duke to protect her true identity and prevent anyone from discovering that she was not the real Lirian. Not only were the tasks out of line, but they were all for pure entertainment rather than any real purpose. As she accepted her life as his wife, she learned that her parrot, which could only say modern phrases, had special powers that made others believe it could see the future. If the parrot said, “Slay, b*tch!” Gabriel would kill a person on the spot. If the parrot said, “Let it cook!” the male lead would banish or imprison the chef, thinking the food was poisoned. If the parrot said, “Sus, very sus!” Gabriel would tear his advisors apart. As Lirian tried to change her destiny and save them all, she discovered surprising truths about those around her, especially Gabriel Sylcrest. Motivated to survive, Rita had to find a way to save them all. “The crown prince—!!!” “Say one more word about another man, and I’ll let my beasts tear him apart.” “You know, my Lord, for a duke who seeks power, you certainly have a way of making a girl feel… vulnerable.” “Vulnerable? No, my dear. You’re mine, and I’ll make sure everyone knows it. If another man even dares to look at you, I’ll unleash my wrath. I’ll have him begging for mercy, and then I’ll enjoy every moment of his despair.” “You can’t just claim me like that.” “Watch me. I’ll mark you as mine in blood and shadow. You’ll be a warning to anyone who thinks they can touch what belongs to me. The moment you’re within my reach, I’ll ensure no one else can ever have you.” “Is that a threat or a promise?” “Both, Lirian. And trust me, the line between love and possession is razor-thin. Cross me, and you’ll find out just how deep my darkness runs for you.”
