After the nuclear war, the world was controlled by twenty mega-corporations that established a global government. Governed by AI, it judged everything. Gao Xin, who had only wished to live a peaceful life, inexplicably became a scapegoat for the elite and, unable to pay the imprisonment fee, was sentenced to ten years of exile on Crime Prison Island! On this island, there were no laws, no constraints, the only order being the numerous game arenas set up by the officials. The criminals could only participate like racehorses for the entertainment of the elite. Yet, on this prison island filled with Radiation, cyborgs, and many powerful villains, Gao Xin had no strength, no talent, and no background—like a sheep thrown into a crocodile pool, no different from being on death row. How could an ordinary person like him survive under the oppression of the strong, the geniuses, and the wicked? Unless in this world, there was a path, a path that allowed even the weakest to continuously break their shackles.

"Villain? Me? Nah—I’m just a guy who refuses to die for someone else’s story." Noah D. Romero was born with nothing. No talent, no strength—just a noble name that meant little in a world ruled by power. Then he found the Book of Sin. And in its pages, he read his fate. Betrayed. Hunted. Killed. The author had already written his death. Too bad. If fate wanted him gone, it should’ve never let him see the script— *** “Hehehe. So what? I just have to substitute someone in my place…Yes!” “All I have to do is to hire a Villain~” —————— Pros: Avg Word Count per chapter= 1800 All Privilege tiers below 100 coins for the first 4 months.

What if you woke up one day, not as yourself, but as someone entirely unknown? What if the world around you felt eerily familiar—crafted from the very stories you once wrote? What if you were nothing more than an extra, a name never meant to be remembered, destined to fade into obscurity? Would you accept this fate? Or would you defy it, clawing your way towards something greater? –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Asher Gradivus wasn’t supposed to matter. He was barely a named character, lightly written, never really meant to exist. Yet, when a bestselling author dies under mysterious circumstances, he awakens in the body of this forgotten character—trapped inside the very novel he created. The world has long since changed. Seventy years ago, [Mana] awakened, ushering in the era of the [System]. Dungeons emerged, ancient beings stirred, and even the [Gods] turned their gaze toward Earth. Chaos loomed on the horizon, but with the latter parts of the Novel unwritten, even Asher himself remains clueless as to what the future might hold. Nothing can he do except move on and navigate his way through this New World. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Join my Discord Server: discord.gg/3dSrPwDHxt

His goal: Destroy those that took everything from him!

Revenge, Becoming the strongest, living a wholesome life, protecting the world? Nope, I was just curious. Curious about what the world would be like if there wasn't a single main character. I have always hated main characters who take all the spotlight for themselves and make a fool out of everyone just because they can; I wanted a world where everyone can be a main character. A world where the antagonist can kill the protagonist, a world without a protagonist. I always thought that it was an impossible task... however, fate wasn't as cruel as everyone thought it to be. Or, maybe I was just lucky... Lucky enough to get a second chance. Lucky enough to create a world where everyone can be a protagonist of their own story (Maybe not everyone, but I tried my best), a world without a protagonist. --------------- Join the discord server. https://discord.gg/BaP4c8b8Vq The timeline will be determined through the votes of the readers in the server.

For months, the world was ravaged by extreme weather—until everything suddenly stopped. But the silence didn’t last long. In every capital city, a colossal gate materialized. They called it "The Abyss Call." Those who dared to enter either lost their sanity or emerged with mysterious runic abilities. With no one to stop them, Slayers—wielders of these newly acquired powers—fought for control as chaos broke out, changing the planet. Void, a simple store clerk with a forgotten background, was caught in a nightmare he never anticipated in the midst of it all. "Why is my novel becoming reality!?" Void now has to deal with the perverse circumstances of his own tale, which are dangerous in ways he never could have predicted.

They Weren’t Just Hot Aliens—They Were Beast Men Too. And Now? The Universe Was Breaking Apart. ——————————————————— Hot Alien Lords. An Apocalypse. Strange Universes. A Glitching Storyline. Secrets, Betrayal, and a Fight for Survival. ——————————————————— She was just an overworked, underpaid author who fell asleep mid-chapter—only to wake up as a maid in her own novel. The bad news? She was trapped in the castle of three devastatingly attractive alien lords, brothers whose power could crush her in an instant. The worse news? In a world where females were plain at best, she’d somehow become the most jaw-droppingly gorgeous woman alive. Now, every jealous (and horrifyingly ugly) female wanted her dead, and the lords? They wouldn’t stop looking at her like she was their next meal. Her insider knowledge of the plot should’ve been her golden ticket, but the story? It was glitching. She’d written them as hot aliens who could transform into beasts—snakes, lions, and jaguars, to be exact. But seeing it firsthand? Terrifying. Their movements blurred the line between man and monster, predatory gazes locking onto her with an intensity she never typed into existence. Was this how they’d always been? Or was the world twisting into something else? Then came the real horror. An apocalyptic infection was spreading beyond the castle walls. People were mutating, becoming something... inhuman. The world itself was fracturing, opening doors to unknown universes that were never part of her original draft. One brother craved her like an obsession. Another wanted to break her. And the third? He carried a secret that could destroy everything. Thalina thought the lords would be the only males she’d have to mate with. Now? She wasn’t so sure. Between a castle full of murderous women, the dangerous desire of three alien beastmen, and a storyline spiraling out of her control, survival wasn’t just a goal anymore—it was the only thing keeping her from becoming another twisted piece of the story. Can she escape her own creation, or is she fated to die in a world she never meant to live in?

The Angel of Death. The man everyone fears. They say he’s merciless, that he has killed more people than anyone in the Circle. No one dares cross him. But there’s a secret, one that no one knows. James Bellini has never killed anyone. Not once. The rumors started because of a misunderstanding, a mistake so deep that even he couldn’t fix it. The truth is something only God himself could untangle. And James? He’s just a man caught in the middle of it all.

Zephany Draven is a shy, clumsy celebrity journalist who is constantly ridiculed for not getting the big scoops. She is soft-spoken and easily intimidated, so she looks weak. However, behind closed doors, she's Eclipse, an altogether tougher, loud-mouthed agent and quite ruthless and efficient. Kendrick Montclair is a gentle, positive artist who loves his family and remains optimistic despite his struggles. His gentle nature makes him easy to take advantage of. But secretly, he's Obscura, a cold, ruthless agent who is efficient and silent. Both work as partners in a secret organization that preserves hidden truths erased by governments, yet they remain completely unaware of each other's true identities. Their goal is to reach the highest level of clearance to access classified information. But just when they're on the verge of success, they fail. Then, a mysterious man appears with an offer—a contract marriage in exchange for the information they desperately seek. Trapped with no alternative, they sign the deal. But neither expected what would happen next. ------------- Kendrick and Zephany sat by the glass wall, waiting for their food when a car suddenly crashed through. Kendrick pulled Zephany to safety just in time, but both got small cuts from the broken glass. "Are you okay?" they asked, checking each other. To their astonishment, the cuts healed before their eyes. Their minds raced. "Beside me, the only person I know who has that ability is." "No! She can't be that loud, short-tempered woman!" "No! He can't be that silent, obnoxious man!" "Did I marry my secret partner in crime?" They both shuddered at the thought.

Waking up in an interstellar civilization where planets are ruled by cultivators, vampires, supernatural beings, and monstrous creatures, he finds himself bound to the Author System—a mysterious force that turns his novels into reality.

The more readers he gains, the stronger his creations become. If his books flop, so does his life. Armed with an impossibly customizable AI assistant and a pen that can rewrite reality, Lin Xian must rise from an unknown writer to the legendary Author of the Multiverse.

She’s a nobody, a struggling wubnovel writer pouring her heart into stories no one reads. Until him. Her first and only fan. He comments on every chapter, sending long, heartfelt messages about how her words move him, how her characters speak to his soul, how she, through her writing, has become his entire world. At first, it feels like validation. But then, it becomes more. Their connection evolves into a private and electric bond, fueled by her seductive prose and his growing obsession. Through late-night messages and steamy exchanges hidden in the comments of her chapters, the writer begins to craft her stories not for an audience, but for him alone. He wants her. Needs her. Fantasizes about her constantly. But the cruel twist? She isn’t real. Or rather, not in the way he wants. She exists only as the idea she’s created, an unreachable goddess of words and fantasies. As his obsession deepens, and her own loneliness drives her closer to him, they enter a dangerous game of desire and denial. She toys with him, weaving herself into his mind, his life, his dreams, but always remaining just out of reach. She knows he will never stop wanting her, but the truth is, he can never truly have her.

SYNOPSIS In the city of Avalon, manipulation isn't just an art, it's a war. Lucian Vale, the world's most elusive manipulator, orchestrates a crisis designed to cripple economies and outplay his greatest rival, Ariadne Wolfe. But when Magnus Cain, a master strategist who doesn't play by the rules, steps in, the board is flipped before Lucian even realizes the game has changed. As alliances crumble and global power shifts, the world's greatest minds race to stay one move ahead, and survival means outthinking the ones who see everything. CONTENT WARNING This novel focuses on the strategic consequences of manipulation rather than explaining manipulation techniques in a way that could be used practically. It explores mind games, deception, and psychological warfare but does not serve as a manual for manipulation. It aligns with many political thriller and espionage novels, which depict power struggles, intelligence misdirection, and strategic deception without directly teaching harmful tactics. The emphasis is on narrative intrigue, character conflicts, and the cascading effects of manipulation in events rather than step-by-step instructions on manipulation. If the concern is about violating certain cultural sensitivities, the story can be framed as a high-stakes intelligence thriller, similar to many intellectual novels or dramas, without promoting unethical behavior.
