John Grisham A Time To Kill

‘The First Kill’ is a significant rite of passage among vampire hunters. Successfully claiming your first solo kill proves your readiness to join the guild in eradicating vampires from our beloved earth. For Maya Anderson, achieving this milestone is crucial if she wants to stand alongside her family's legacy as a hunter. Her desire to kill a vampire becomes an all-consuming obsession. This obsession takes a turn when she meets Alexander Van Helsing, a complacent legacy-born vampire who considers himself immortal supremacy. His detestation is reserved for those he considers beneath him— pesty mortal hunters who want nothing more than to kill him. —Vampires who kill humans are monsters— —Humans who kill vampires are monsters— In their game of predator and prey, which will blossom? Maya's obsession over her duties, or the forbidden love between a human and a vampire?

Earth, thousands of years after the apocalypse. Countless technologies and advances had been lost to time as the Specters, horrifying beings with terrifying powers, arrived and destroyed the world. Over the coming thousands of years, humanity had built itself up but always died again. Nobody remembers the past. Nobody remembers what humanity had once accomplished. Now, everyone is living in a world where the Specters reign supreme. ----- A boy with amnesia woke up in the middle of the Dregs, the worst part of Crimson Fungus City. The boy grows up and manages to become strong enough to pass an exam for one of the most prestigious jobs in existence, a Zephyx Extractor, someone that can harvest the powers of Specters. Sadly, he had already gained a power from a Specter in the past, which made him ineligible for the position. But then, a mysterious man visits him. And his luck finally turns around.

But Anna, unknowingly, is the one meant to heal the world.

"He thought knowledge was power, but knowing the story won’t save him from me." ********** Extra Takes It All! True to its title, that hypocrite really does take it all. Opportunities? “Nah, the protagonist is too overpowered to even bother with them. I’ll take what he ignores—anything for my survival.” A harem? “I just help them a bit with their internal struggles, and somehow they keep clinging to me.” Items? “He barely uses them. They’re just lying around, so I’ll put them to good use.” And yet, that hypocrite keeps whining: *“I’m not supposed to be the protagonist. I don’t want to change the story’s outcome. I’ll just enjoy it from the sidelines.”* *Chuckle* Yeah, right. Somehow, I pushed through that mess of a plot. The other characters? They were decent. Well-developed. They felt real and believable. But that so-called “extra”? He was a walking contradiction. He started out on the sidelines, but gradually got more and more overpowered—until he himself became the story’s villain. As for the ending, don't even get me started. It really felt like the final battle was slapped together based on Authors hormones. The climax didn't make any sense at all, it was just a mess which totally twisted the logic that built up till this point of the story. So, what did I do wrong? I just cursed him a little, that’s all. And to be honest, he deserved it. Then, fate being fate, I ended up in that same novel that frustrated me. But unlike that Extra who cried about being thrown into a dangerous world and all, my situation is genuinely screwed. If I want to survive, there’s only one way: kill the extra. Yes, you heard me right. I won’t stop you, I will straight up kill. As your Professor, I’ll have plenty of chances.

In the year 2084, The world stood on the precipice of destruction. Decades of simmering tensions between East and West erupted into the inevitable—a cataclysmic World War III. No nation was spared. Alliances forged in desperation and shattered by betrayal became the norm. Countries chose sides not for justice, but for survival. The war wasn’t just about ideologies; it was about greed, fear, and the cruel inevitability of power. Nuclear fire rained from the skies, reducing cities to shadows of ash. The atmosphere grew toxic, the land barren, and the oceans poisoned. Humanity had finally created its perfect apocalypse. Humans turned against humans. Neighbors became predators. Survival became a blood-soaked art. Resources. Shelter. Safety. No price was too high. No act too savage. "I kill you before you kill me" became the only rule that mattered. No one cared who lit the first match or why. Right and wrong dissolved into the radioactive fog. The war was universal, relentless, and final. The year is 2084. The world lies broken, steeped in chaos. And from the ruins, a Devil was born.

But then, he was transmigrated into a novel he had read for the first time, all because of a complaint about the main character—though he was not the protagonist, but merely a subordinate of a minor third-rate villain! How can someone be so petty? . . . However, he didn't mind. Since he found himself in a fantasy world filled with magic, swords, and cultivation, he resolved to live life to the fullest, something he had missed in his previous existence. In a realm where the strong are respected and the weak are crushed like ants. . . . In this world, he will choose to embrace adventure and romance, a wine glass in one hand and a woman in the other. For all of this, he needed strength... . . . [Ding! Host has awakened the "Heaven Plundering System!" If the host wants to survive in this world, he must kill heaven's child, or he may perish...] . . . WHAAT! . . . . ****WARNING**** . . . .

Here, the main character will be Domineering, Ruthless, Calm, Intelligent, Cunning, and Alpha-type—caring only for his loved ones while remaining cold toward the rest of the world. . . . Additionally, female leads will be Strong, Intelligent, and Loyal—not merely waiting for the main character to come and rescue them like a fairytale prince. . . . The harem in this story will be large, with each member being capable and equally important to the plot. Every character will have their own significance and development, contributing meaningfully to the story. . . . NO NTR!! NO YURI!! NO FUTA!! NO YAOI!! . . .
