Witchbound Villain

This is a story about a Villain and a Witch. Please note that this work will also be made available on Scribblehub and Royal Road, in addition to its initial publication here. Three years ago, the sky over the magical world of Nethermere cracked, spewing spaceships from a so-called "superior" civilization. Their invasion? A spectacular flop. King Burn of Soulnaught—the most powerful man alive, a tyrant, and a genius—crushed them. Or so the legend goes. But the invaders stayed, hawking shiny tech and worming their way into Nethermere’s future. Colonization loomed. Burn wasn’t having it. If anyone was going to conquer the world, it’d be him. And he succeede—nope. She happened. A maddeningly beautiful witch reset time itself—seven loops—undoing everything Burn worked for. Her curse turned him into a pawn in her twisted game. "Why? You're wondering if I've trapped you in a time loop?" she taunted, all smiles. "It’s not just a spell but a curse! Dear Villain, you are now Witchbound!" Burn, furious and cursing her name, didn’t know what infuriated him more: her power, her schemes, or the fact that her presence tempted him in ways he didn’t dare admit. Usually, the devil did the tempting. But when the angel was this seductiv—COUGH—manipulative, even the devil felt the chill. What to expect from this story: A time-loop-checkpoint conquest story where the end goal is conquering the universe. The MCs? A genuine, unapologetic villain rocking the Lawful Evil vibe and a devastatingly beautiful Chaotic Good witch. Dripping with sarcasm, paired with slow-burning worldbuilding so you'll figure things out as you go. It’s medium-paced, tackling heavy topics like politics, war, and tight plotting—but don’t worry, it's squeezed in romance-comedy breaks to keep you breathing. Speaking of romance, it’s one of the major centerpieces of the story. One female lead, no romantic drama. But beware: this story might have too much romance for you to handle. If you’re afraid of that, well... only cowards skip out on romance! Expect a cocktail of classic high fantasy tropes blended with science fiction. Think modern isekai/gate/space vibes, featuring magic, mecha, strong-to-stronger characters, manipulative masterminds, and deliciously insane moments. Add to that: character growth, intricate connections, a Seinen demographic focus, kingdom building, military campaigns, world invasions, an apocalyptic tone, and sprinkles of legends, myths, world lore, and fairy tales. You’re welcome.

Veilshard Nexus: Chronicles of the Multiform Divergence

Dr. Elaine Kastor, a brilliant yet reclusive theoretical physicist, never imagined her life’s work would end her life. In a catastrophic experiment that defied explanation, Elaine’s death marked the beginning of a far stranger story. Awakening in a fragmented multiverse held together by the mysterious Veilshard Nexus—an ancient, sentient system governing countless realms—Elaine finds herself bound to a new existence, both gifted and cursed. Inhabiting a foreign body with inexplicable abilities, Elaine discovers she is now reliant on the Nexus to survive. This vast, enigmatic network assigns her cryptic “Divergence Mandates”—missions that tether her to the Nexus’s fractured worlds, each brimming with political intrigue, arcane constructs, and alien logic. Her first destination, Liradelle, is a medieval realm where magic and ambition clash, yet hidden beneath its complexity lie whispers of a far-reaching conspiracy connected to the Nexus itself. But Elaine isn’t the only one entangled in the Nexus’s chaotic threads. Rivan, a reserved wanderer with an unexplainable bond to the fractures, and Ardyn, a fierce warrior caught between loyalty and survival, are also players in this cosmic game. Together, their paths converge, revealing threads of betrayal woven by the Nexus’s creators—the Custodians—who shattered their own creation in a misguided bid for control. As Elaine grapples with the rules of her rebirth, she discovers the fractures are alive, their chaotic energy holding memories, purpose, and hidden dangers. To unravel the truth of her resurrection, she must master not only the Nexus’s arcane class systems and magical sciences but also the unstable mechanics of the Multiform Divergence, an ultimate skill that bridges fractured realities and alters the laws of existence itself. However, the Nexus is no benevolent guide. Its secrets are veiled in riddles, and its stability depends on sacrifices that demand more than strength or intellect. Elaine’s memories grow increasingly unreliable, leaving her to question whether she is a pawn in the Nexus’s game—or a catalyst for its unraveling. In this sprawling journey of survival, power, and identity, every step through the fractures leads Elaine, Rivan, and Ardyn closer to a singular truth: the Nexus doesn’t simply connect worlds—it redefines the meaning of existence. But at what cost? Combining intricate worldbuilding, relentless intrigue, and high-concept fantasy, Veilshard Nexus immerses readers in a multiverse alive with questions of purpose, identity, and the fragile balance between chaos and control.
