Must Have

Nathan Beck was never meant to be a hero. Life chewed him up, spat him out, and left him hollow. A ghost in his own skin, haunted by grief and disillusionment. But death offered him something else: A new viewpoint. And a question no one else was asking. Now reborn as Hidesuke Shinohara, a forgotten, F-tier “hero” in the brutal world of Arc Zenith, he's granted an ominous, forbidden power: The Final Verdict System. It doesn’t hand out points. It doesn’t reward popularity. It exists for one reason alone: To pass judgment on the heroes who think they’re untouchable. In a world where saviors wear pretentious masks and villains are manufactured scapegoats, Hidesuke becomes the razor’s edge between false light and true shadow. As he climbs the twisted hierarchy of power, surveillance, and illusion, his blade becomes justice. As he hunts them one by one, his judgement zones carve truth into lies. Every sentence burns a legacy. Every sin carries a weight. And real justice finally gets a voice. - - - - - - - The alley was soaked, wall to wall with blood and rain. C-tier Hero "Rot" slammed Hidesuke through a rusted vent, sending shards of metal skittering across the floor. “You don’t get to judge me, you fucker!” he roared, face littered with ugly wounds and eyes wide with fury. Hidesuke coughed, blood in his teeth, and pushed himself up. “Thirty-five victims,” he rasped. “How many more must go down in silence before you feel any remorse?” Rot surged forward again, his palm bursting with hydroforce. Hidesuke didn't dodge. All conditions were met. It was time to end this. > “I bear witness.” Then the world around them split in half. Light scorched the pavement as the Judgment Zone warped reality, replacing every structure within the radius. The rain stopped midair. Sound bent in place. Everything froze except Hidesuke—and Rot, now locked inside with him. > “Violation of Article Nine.” > “You turned their lungs into breeding sites for your filthy worms.” Rot screamed, lunging again. But the chains found him first, wrapping around his legs, arms, throat. They hissed against his skin, burning through his armor and piercing his flesh. > “Sin Weight: 46.” > “Victim Count: 35.” > “Verdict confirmed.” Hidesuke walked toward him, limping slightly, voice steady. > “They desperately begged you for air. Yet you used them like lifeless objects.” > “Let this be your last breath.” His hand closed around the final seal. The glyphs flared red—then white. Veil didn’t get a last word. - - - - - - - [ ! ] If you've been looking for a story with a unique plot and background, congrats you've found the one. Don't waste any more time.

Once a discarded princess, Laraine Ashton was cast aside by the royal family, betrayed by her blood, and left to die in a ditch of corpses. But fate had other plans.

Waking up as the third rate villain in a game before realizing none of his ending is good, what will a guy do? "Where is my golden finger?" "Wise Soul?" "System?" "Blessing?" "Fuck, it's one thing not giving me any boost but not giving me any talent is another!" "No cheats? I have money!"

After 6,000 years of development by the immortal sect on Planet Earth, all of the leyline spiritual energy was controlled by the country. They only released enough spiritual energy for the cultivators to breathe. If a cultivator wanted to use the spiritual energy to train themselves, they would have to pay the immortal sect for that. Chen Mobai was a senior high school student at the Fifth High School of the Immortal Sect. He was studying for his entrance exam at the colleges of the immortal sect. His biggest dream was to achieve the Foundation Establishment Realm until he was transmigrated to a cultivation world. “There’s no one here despite how dense the spiritual energy is?” “Wait! Isn’t this the legendary spiritual herb? Are these not extinct here?” “Huh? Is this the method to extract one’s Spiritual Root? Also, isn’t this a divine technique?” “What a powerful cultivator! Please accept me as your disciple!” As his life in the cultivation world continued, his dream changed.

Kayle Landers is good at everything and that's what caused her laziness and cowardice in the face of life's difficulties.

Kim Yoo-Sung lived a life so ordinary it could've been skipped in the records of existence. No talent, no ambition, no women, and definitely no legacy. Just a third-rate office drone with caffeine-induced insomnia and barely enough social skills to order takeout. So when he died, Yoo-Sung assumed that was it. The curtains were drawn. Void had finally caught upto him. Game over. But fate... Fate had other plans. Yoo-Sung wakes up in a world that couldn’t be more different from Earth—a savage realm governed by bloodlines, magical power, and martial might. Kingdoms rise and fall by the strength of their heirs. And women? They hold the most dominant positions, hoarding both magic and might. In this world, men are often relegated to tools—used for lineage, labor, or luxury. Just as he wakes up in this strange new world, a eccentric whispers into his ears: [Conquest System Activated.] Objective: Subjugate, Bond, and Rise. Target: Womankind. Thrown headfirst into the role of an unwilling "Conqueror," Yoo-Sung must now navigate a cutthroat matriarchal society, awaken latent power from those he dominates, and slowly climb the food chain. From cold-blooded generals to feral beastkin, priestesses, warlords, and royalty—each conquest fuels his growth. The rules are simple: Conquer. Grow stronger. Repeat. But power always comes with a price—and as Yoo-Sung crosses lines of desire, loyalty, and morality, he’ll have to decide what kind of conqueror he truly wants to become. After all, is he shaping the world? Or is the System shaping him?

I’m a proud NEET who’s devoured every romance novel, manga, webtoon, and otome game out there. Just when I thought I’d conquered it all, a black bunny appeared in my dream. “Congrats! You’ve been chosen to help villains win across multiple worlds!” “Like a game?” “Uh . . . sure.” “Great, I’m in!” And just like that, I became an agent of the Villain System. Time to rewrite some happily-ever-afters—villain style. **[NOTE!]** This novel features multiple short arcs, each exploring different tropes such as ancient China, the modern world, beasts, werewolves, vampires, fantasy, school romance, idol groups—you name it! The twist? Each arc focuses on our MC making the villain (male) triumph over the male and female leads. The story is written primarily in 2nd and 3rd person POV for a dynamic and immersive experience. || Excerpt || [WARNING! MATURE Content Ahead!] “Then serve me . . . properly.” The command was both sensual and authoritative, and Xue Li’s pulse quickened under his intense gaze. The air between them grew heavy, her trembling hands faltering as she began to run the sponge across his chest, her touch featherlight against his scars. “Y-yes your majesty.” Han Feng leaned back slightly, watching her through half-lidded eyes, his expression unreadable. “Slower,” he murmured, his voice a low rumble that made her pulse skip. “You’re trembling,” he said, his voice velvet smooth, making her flinch. “I-It’s the steam, Your Majesty,” she stammered, though she knew it was a poor excuse. Han Feng chuckled softly, the sound deep and rich. “Hmm . . . Is that so? Then you have no problem cleaning my cock right?” Xue Li's eyes trembled, on the verge of tears, which seemed to please Han Feng. His smile grew wider as he urged her on. "Go on. You're going to serve me properly, aren't you?"

Rin was a nobody—just a gamer with a love for manga—until death dragged him into another world. Reborn as Auren, the third prince of the cruel and war-hungry King Aurelus of Austerra, he enters a realm ruled by magic and divine systems. Every person is born with a Divine Frame—a gift that defines their class, power, and fate. Everyone… except him. Frameless. Powerless. Disposable. Auren is cast aside as a mistake that shouldn't exist. But hidden beneath that flaw is a terrifying truth: no Frame means no limits. With nothing holding him back, he begins mastering all paths—mage, warrior, healer, assassin—enhancing them with Earth’s forgotten science. In a world that thrives on order, Auren is chaos. And from that chaos, a legend is born. (2 New Chapter Daily and 3 chapters every saturday! Release at 9:00 AM GMT+8)

Have you heard of the "Dark Forest Hypothesis"? The cosmic theory that intelligent civilizations remain silent, hiding in the vast darkness of space—ever vigilant for predators lurking in the void. For Earth, this nightmare has become reality. Our world now suffers under dual existential threats: the technologically superior Vertex, alien invaders who claim Earth as their ancestral homeland, and the catastrophic "False Realities"—dimensional tears consuming our planet piece by piece. Within these mythological realms dwell gods and creatures of ancient legend, now twisted into entities desperate to harvest human souls for their very existence. But fate weaves an unexpected thread through this tapestry of doom. Theodore, a man with an unnaturally empty emotional landscape, navigates this dying world with detached precision. Yet beneath his hollow exterior lies something that has been tried desperately to be erased—a truth buried deep within his fractured mind. As Earth's final days approach and the boundaries between myth and reality collapse, fragments of Theodore's true self begin to resurface. The muscle memory of combat. The whispers of a forgotten self. The promised fire that didn't stop burning. In a world where both aliens and gods conspire against humanity's survival, one man will remember his purpose and embrace a terrible truth: He must kill the gods. Want more?

Penelope is reincarnated into a book she read as a kid — as Penelope Ashdown. The first thing she sees when she wakes up? A judge. An audience. Turns out, she’s on trial for the long list of crimes Ashdown had committed. And regardless of the verdict, she's scheduled to die in a week on her way to prison. Being a doctor in her past life doesn't help. Belonging to a powerful noble house doesn't help. Being rumored to have magical powers definitely doesn't help. Her only shot at survival? Vicious wit and a lucky encounter with a nobleman so beloved by society, they’ve never bothered to check what he really is.

“Is love about who made your heart race… or who knew when to step back so it could keep beating?” Silas loved her in secret, in sacrifice. Caelum loves her in presence, in patience. And she— She stands at the heart of it all, carrying a love shaped by memory and promise, torn between what was, and what dares to be. Not every heart chooses loudly. Some stay. Some let go. But in the end, she must ask not just who loves her— but who walks beside her when the storm comes. As ancient vows awaken and forgotten missions collide, Lhady must confront not only who she loves… but why. Is it the comfort of a future built slowly and safely? Or the echo of a past carved in sacrifice? In the end, Have You Someone to Protect? is not just a question of loyalty—it’s a question of love, identity, and the burdens we carry for those we dare to keep close. And whom does she, in turn, choose to protect?

THE 1000 WARNINGS YOU MUST SURVIVE How do you fight the apocalypse when the only weapon left is your phone… and your fear? Renji Kurose is a nobody. A high school shut-in, a crybaby who skips class to avoid the world. But when a mysterious black screen appears on his phone, warning him of an approaching entity named Seraphine, everything changes. The message isn't spam. It’s a prophecy. Sent by a fallen angel named Luciel, the message is the first of 1,000 warnings—each tied to an unholy, uncanny being set to arrive one by one. Each has a form that defies logic. Each carries an ability capable of warping reality, inflicting permanent trauma, or causing instant, brutal death. And anyone without a phone? They're already dead. Now Renji must survive the arrival of each entity using only what the messages tell him—when they come, how they behave, and what threadbare tips might keep him alive. But the clock is always ticking, and the rules of survival grow more twisted with every passing warning. With society crumbling and the silence between screams growing louder, Renji has no choice but to evolve—from coward to warrior, from victim to beacon. Because this isn't just about surviving the end of the world… It's about understanding why it's happening at all. And who—or what—is watching.
