The Discreet Hero A

I closed my eyes and let out a long, shuddering breath. The needle slipped through my numb fingers and clattered onto the rough pavement. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first peace I'd felt in my short, miserable life. No one would miss me, and if any did...? Well, there was always someone else to beat or rape. They'd move on quickly. But then...gods? Since when did nothingness have so many gods? Chosen by the goddess of Fate, I'm thrust into a world of magic and wonder alongside nine other heroes. A world where the gods reign supreme, and evil is vanquished before it can spread its blight. Can such a place truly exist? Could life really be worth living? I've heard that the brightest lights cast the longest shadows, but my life has been nothing but darkness. Perhaps this new world will be the chance I need to find the light, to see the other side.

Liam, a socially awkward college student, spends his days immersed in anime, video games, and hentai, escaping the monotony of his real life. Despite his fantasies, he’s never experienced a real relationship or intimacy. But when he is mysteriously transported to the fantastical world of Eryndor, Liam’s life takes a dramatic turn. In Eryndor, Liam is hailed as the ‘Lustforged Hero’, a legendary figure destined to save the realm from the tyrannical sorcerer, Maltheris.

To grow stronger and unlock his true potential, Liam must navigate a delicate balance between his newfound responsibilities and his own untapped desires. Joined by a group of fiercely loyal followers—each with their own unique abilities and personal struggles—Liam embarks on a journey to master his powers, unite the fractured kingdoms of Eryndor, and confront Maltheris. Along the way, he forms deep bonds with his companions, including the enigmatic warrior Lysandra, the cunning mage Erynn, and the rebellious rogue Selene. But as Liam’s power grows, so does the temptation to lose himself in the very desires that fuel his strength.

Jessica Moran should have died. A near-fatal accident shattered her magic core, leaving her incapable of using magic ever again. But when she wakes, it’s not just her magic that’s missing—her memories are gone, too. She doesn’t remember the friends, enemies, or rivalries she once had. She doesn’t recall the lessons, customs, or expectations drilled into her since birth. Even her own family feels like strangers. The noble elite whisper that she lost her mind along with her magic. A broken girl, an embarrassment to her house, unworthy of the prestigious knight academy. But while Jessica doesn’t remember who she was… her body does. • Her reflexes are too sharp for someone who has barely held a sword. • Her instincts drive her to dodge before she even registers a threat. • And when she fights, it feels too familiar—too natural—like something buried deep inside her already knows how. Thrown into the Elite Class, not because she deserves it, but because no one knows what else to do with her, Jessica plays along. She doesn’t argue. She doesn’t fight the rumors. Because even she can’t explain why battle feels more like home than her own past. And somewhere—deep in the shattered remains of her lost memories—something waits.

"Kill them all...Burn it down..." Those are the words I heard echoing in my head ever since the day I woke up in Lorelei. The voice sounds familiar. I've heard it before. But would it be crazy if I said it sounded like me? Would it be crazy...if I said i remembered dying? Utterly rediculous. To repeat the same thing over and over, expecting a different result while changing absolutely nothing. I was the son of a Duke and a commoner in a foreign land. Through pain and suffering, I somehow managed to marry a beautiful Princess of that land. You know...after my father got eaten by a dragon. And after being locked in a dungeon and tortured by her insane sister... But none of that matters now. Because my world lies in ruins. Everyone I've ever known is dead. All except my beloved, who stands to protect me with her shield. But I don't mean to say that things have been destroyed... What I mean, is much simpler. Avernia is gone. Gone forever. Lost to the plague I called 'The Black Ooze'. But I'll avenge it. I'll kill the one responsibke for massacring my family and destroying my world. They'll regret having made an enemy out of me. Because the sword I wield is called Vengeance. The Overseer sword. The Omni-Weapon. No matter the cost...I will have vengeance. I'll kill them all. I'll burn everything down.

Most Webnovel readers love fast-paced stories with overpowered protagonists, system cheats, and clear progression. They enjoy seeing the main character rise from nothing to greatness, often with revenge, adventure, or world-building elements. Cultivation, urban fantasy, reincarnation, and system novels dominate the platform, and readers expect rapid power growth, face-slapping moments, and a constant sense of escalation. But my story? It’s different. Sure, it’s urban fantasy, but it doesn’t follow the usual Webnovel formula. There’s no cheap wish fulfillment, no overused tropes just for the sake of it. Instead, I’m crafting something deeper—a story with real weight, real growth, and a journey that means something. It may not be the usual Webnovel fare, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a damn good story.

Liu Xian has been called a monster since the day he was born. The moment he entered the world, an uncontrollable surge of lightning crackled from his tiny body, killing his mother in an instant. His father never forgave him. The town never forgot. Branded as cursed, he grew up despised—mocked, beaten, and feared. No one saw a boy struggling to control something beyond his understanding. They only saw a killer. Even Liu Xian himself came to hate his power, wishing he could tear it out of his own body. But just when he’s convinced his life will never change, a stranger arrives from a distant academy—a place where people like him exist, where power isn’t something to be feared but honed. This mysterious figure claims Liu Xian has potential, that his curse may not be a curse at all.

Superpowers appeared suddenly plunging the world into chaos. Wars broke out, countries were destroyed, and the powers spread like a plague. 100 years later powers became the norm, countries all collapsed, and The Watch rose up to protect the world. Life was black and white. The heroes fought the villains and saved the day, the villains did bad things and were defeated. That’s how most children saw it. Peter Het never should have seen it that way, but he did - until his image of the world burnt in front of his eyes. Levi Winter always saw it that way - until the world gave him reason to. Both wanted to try and make a difference using the powers they'd been born with. One had planned to help the world by being the perfect hero, the other by killing the people he saw as responsible for the problems that polluted the world. Neither found themselves doing what they’d imagined. The one seeking to be a hero became a criminal, the one seeking vengeance became an icon of heroes. Their paths in life diverged like streams rushing down a mountain and are then brought back together to cascade over the edge into a new unknown. Both are seeking peace in the unceasing hurricane of life and the violence they can’t escape, and they’ve come to realize that ‘hero’ is nothing more than a title.

The Veilstone once shielded the world from a converging dimension teeming with horrors—creatures of unexplainable terror, shaped by fragmented myths and forgotten folklore, each taking on different interpretations across time. But when the Veilstone shattered thousands of years ago, the barrier collapsed. Perhaps out of desperation—if it was even capable of such a thing—it chose Heroes before its final destruction. Six divine classes emerged, wielding power strong enough to hold back the Void... but only for a time. As the rifts grew stronger and the world descended into chaos, heroes and humans alike fell before the Voidborne. Until they discovered the power of Voidshards—the cores of these eldritch beings. By transferring these shards into themselves, warriors gained monstrous abilities beyond human comprehension, tied to the creature they had slain. But there was a cost. Those without the blessing of Heroic Sigils, unprotected from corruption, slowly lost their minds—warping into the very Voidborne they once fought. And thus, the cycle of slaughter and transformation continued. Elias was not born a hero. He awakened with no past, wandering a dying world in search of memories he couldn’t grasp. But when a fateful encounter with a Voidborne and the fanatical Ashborn Clan drags him into a battle far beyond his understanding, his struggle for survival becomes something far greater. In a war where men turn to monsters, and gods remain silent, Elias must forge his own path—or be consumed by the very darkness that seeks to claim him.

Kaito Amagiri, once a celebrated hero, has been exiled to a cursed forest for the safety of those around him. His overwhelming power made it impossible for him to live in human society without causing chaos—something Kaito himself barely notices. Now, in his secluded forest home, he hopes for nothing more than a slow, peaceful life away from the demands of his former life. But peace is elusive when you’re a hero with too much power. As Kaito tends to his humble garden and enjoys the quiet days, his accidental encounters with the forest's creatures begin to change everything. With a flick of his hand, he defeats monsters without breaking a sweat. Without realizing it, he starts to gain the loyalty of the very creatures he’s unintentionally tamed. What starts as a single house in a cursed forest slowly grows into a thriving village, then a city—and eventually, an empire. Kaito wants nothing to do with power or responsibility, but the forest has other plans. With his calm demeanor and complete lack of ambition, Kaito becomes the ruler of a kingdom he never asked for—one that might just be his unintentional legacy. Will Kaito ever get the peaceful retirement he dreamed of, or will the empire he built, completely by accident, drag him back into a life of responsibility he never wanted?
