A former man reincarnates into the world of an Utsugee* game, where he must torment the protagonist in order to protect the world.... more>>

In this world, those who possess the power of “supernatural abilities” can grow stronger through “mental suffering.”

That is why, in order to protect the ones precious to me… I must hurt you.

Even if it means you hold a grudge against me, hate me, or even kill me.

*Utsugee = genre of depressing psychological games (Omori, Silent Hill, School Days) <<less

Naofumi Iwatani, an uncharismatic Otaku who spends his days on games and manga, suddenly finds himself summoned to a parallel universe! He discovers he is one of four heroes equipped with legendary weapons and tasked with saving the world from its prophesied destruction.... more>>

As the Shield Hero, the weakest of the heroes, all is not as it seems. Naofumi is soon alone, penniless, and betrayed. With no one to turn to, and nowhere to run, he is left with only his shield. Now, Naofumi must rise to become the legendary Shield Hero and save the world! <<less

“Please, Demon Lord, save us!”... more>>

In typical isekai summoning stories, it’s often a hero that gets summoned. But this time, the ones around aren’t humans—they’re all demons!?

What are they going to do by summoning an old man like me?

And to make things worse, the one who being summoned isn’t a demon but just an ordinary human! Once they find out, they start saying things like “Kill him!” or “Use him as a test subject!” as they please.

Even an old man gets mad sometimes, you jerks (an old-fashioned expression)!

I had no intention of helping the demons at all, but after various circumstances, I end up standing with the demons in a war against the humans… <<less

After constant interference and support, I somehow managed to turn it back into a decent game, but then some strange people hijacked the operation rights and started turning this masterpiece into a mess.... more>>

Give me my game back right now, you immoral scoundrels! <<less

Three regressions, 4th life.... more>>

Although she was prophesied and raised as the child of fate, she was sacrificed when the real child of fate appears.

‘This country is no good, let’s defect!’

Leblaine chooses to be adopted to earn money until defecting. There was nothing wrong this far, but the place she chose was a family full of villains. She tried to trick those bad guys in order to live comfortably before defecting…

“My daughter is the cutest in the world.”

“Give her the building. She can use it as her bathroom.”

“It’s okay, Leblaine told me not hit you, but she didn’t say not to kill you?”

“Who made my sister cry!”

‘…they’re spiralling out of control, what should I do?’

***

“You can’t hit or kill people just because you don’t like them.”

My family was quiet even though I purposely looked sad.

‘Then there’s nothing I can do!’

I looked back at my family with a sharp gaze and said solemnly.

“I’m going to sleep without a blanket.”

“I’m wrong, kid!”

“I’m sorry!”

“I won’t kill anyone!”

Good. <<less

But Leon has a secret weapon: he remembers everything from his past life, which includes a complete playthrough of the very game in which he is now trapped.

I became the villain in the story of a hero.... more>>

So I was about to quit after fighting the main character.

But she’s obsessed with me. Why...? <<less

I returned after 10 years.

In this world, there is always one type of man who does not want to improve themselves. They care only for themselves, by whatever means possible. They make their life goal to be kept as a lover, and they will use their lovers up until they have no more use.... more>>

Self-Reliant System: Our goal is to rise up! Our goal is to persevere! We must be self-sufficient and self-reliant!

When the system has bound numerous souls to enter into the bodies of those who only rely on their lovers, what could this lead to?

In other words, this is the main character transmigrating into a scummy human being, and creating his own destiny kind of story. <<less

What can a person do to survive?... more>>

Mei Lin might not know what others would do, but she is willing to sacrifice everything—her body and dignity included.

She yearns for life to blossom as recklessly as flowers in February, even if only for a brief moment. Yet, in reality, she lives like a toad in the mud, shrinking away, ugly and filthy.

She only knows that with life, everything else can be discussed. But without life, what is there to talk about?

What she never expected was that she would ultimately fall at the hands of Murong Jing and that bastard—a man who once used her as a toy to please another woman, a man she had paid back fiercely, a petty, vindictive man.

That wretched man!

But in the end, the story concludes with a happy ending. <<less

There were ten days left before the end of the world, and the people I used to know lined up to visit my hermitage, hoping that I, the former ‘savior’ that they had banished from the Union three years ago, would return to save the world again.... more>>

In return, I placed a semi-obsolete number machine outside my door, which only served to issue queue numbers but not call them.

In fact, I wanted to spill a pot of water just to demonstrate the phrase ‘Spilled water will not return to the bowl’, but considering that there were water-affinity magicians outside… Forget it…

They firmly believed that I was still as soft-hearted as before, and as long as they begged and guilt-tripped me, I would go through all the trouble and risk my life again for the world, just like what happened in the past ten years.

Pardon me, but not this time.

… And, even if the world was destroyed, I won’t die anyway. <<less

Foil, bestowed with the job of the ‘False Hero,’ followed his role and expelled his best friend from the party. However, he was supposed to be defeated by his awakened best friend, the ‘True Hero.’ Saved by Iris, an elven girl who knew his true face even as a fake hero, Foil remembers his desire to be acknowledged as “Hero” and decides to embark on a new adventure to secretly save people.

I am a knight. To be precise, I am the Church of the God of Light’s Sun Knight.... more>>

The Church of the God of Light worships and serves the God of Light, and it is one of the three largest religions on this continent.

As the whole continent knows, the Church of the God of Light has the Twelve Holy Knights, and each one has his own unique personality and features.

To be the Sun Knight is to have shining golden hair, sky blue eyes, a compassionate nature, and a brilliant smile.

“The benevolent God of Light will forgive your sins.”

I must have said that line at least a million times in my time as the Sun Knight.

However, the greatest wish in my life is to be able to stand before the entire continent and roar, “Damn your ‘the whole continent knows’! This Sun Knight just doesn’t feel like smiling! I just don’t want to forgive these human tr*shes! I just want to pepper my sentences with ‘f***’!”

Unfortunately, even to this day, I continue to wear a smile as I say, “The benevolent God of Light will forgive your sins.” <<less

Nie Jia lived his life with kindness and respect, yet all his actions were paid back with the cold grey walls of prison. Inside the bars, he vowed that if he ever had another life, he would be a complete villain! Beast! Scoundrel!... more>>

One day, he actually transmigrated.

System: As a villain, you have to be courageous enough to burden the task of initiating trouble, destroying the world and creating chaos. It’s an incredible responsibility, do you understand?

Nie Jia: I understand. I’ll definitely use everything I have to complete the mission tasks so everyone will die!

System: No, no….you’re the only one who will die.

Since then, Nie Jia rode away upon the road of a great villain, but every time he went close to destroying the world and completing his goal, he was always defeated by this thing called “The Protagonist’s Halo”.

Nie Jia (#‵′) : The Protagonist is a cheater, I refuse to accept this!

Until his system was actually hacked by someone…. <<less

I regret having lived as a villain. ... more>>

So when I got a second chance after regressing, I tried to live a good life...

But then a villain became obsessed with me. <<less

He uses desire to ensnare others, he uses blood as temptation, he uses his appearance as a disguise. Like a wolf, he hunts for prey in the shadows. He is among the FBI’s most wanted list of serial killers. He lives by his own law, the Lex Talionis. He does things his own way, independent and reckless. He gave himself his own name: Sha Qing... more>>

————

The first time the two officially met:

“The purpose of the prison is not to destroy people’s lives; it’s meant to replace the broken chains of law and morality, to bind the beast in their hearts again, until it is completely subdued,” said Leo.

“Everyone has beasts in their hearts, agent, and so do you.” Sha Qing extended an index finger and pointed at Leo’s heart.

“Yes, but unlike you, I will use those iron chains to lock it tightly in a cage.”

“It’s not as easy as you think, Leo. Things are always changing, and often beyond your control …”

With his blood-stained lips, he suddenly kissed the stunned FBI agent.

The salty bloody taste spread in their mouths and the fiery contact was enough to burn the tips of their tongues.

Leo’s eyes suddenly felt heavy, but his face did not show any irritation from being calculated upon.

“Have you foreseen this in your plans ?” He raised his wrist with effort, then slowly closed his eyes.

Sha Qing looked down and saw that a pair of steel handcuffs had fastened his left wrist with the other’s right arm.

He lowered his head and kissed the sleeping man’s wet, dusty hair, and said in a soft voice:

“Goodbye, brave young lion.”

He then dislocated his own hand to remove the shackles that bound them together.

Sha Qing stood up and walked away, until his figure disappeared into the darkness… <<less

I became the leader of a villain organization.

Zhuo Yifan was the Demon Emperor. One day, he managed to lay his hands on an ancient emperor’s book, the Nine Serenities Secret Records. As the book was coveted by many, he was targeted by experts and was even betrayed by his student.... more>>

After his passing, his soul took over another’s body. Brought back to life, in the body of a family servant named Zhuo Fan. Because of the regrets of the boy, which Zhuo Fan inherited, he was forced to serve the boy’s mistress.

Just how can he lead this descending family to the pinnacle of this continent?! <<less

As if it wasn’t enough to be hit on the head by my co-workers and boyfriend, I died at the hands of my gambling-addict older brother. Without even regretting my unfortunate death, I realized that I had possessed a supporting role in a romantic fantasy novel, which I just read yesterday. To be precise, a villainess destined to die at the hands of her husband. I know it’s cliché!... more>>

‘Possessed a villainess in a romantic fantasy novel! So this is what it feels like?’

I thought it was pretty good for the price of my unfair death. Until I realize that no matter what I do, I can’t deviate from the flow of the original. For the female lead Lizé, it’s a delightful cider series, but it’s nothing more of a bloody story for Edith, the villainess I possessed.

I am the protagonist in my life. If I’m going to die according to the original story, I should at least kiss my super handsome husband! In the original story, Edith is greatly despised by her husband, but who cares, I’m going to die anyway. However…

“You pretended not to be, but now you’re so hot to play with. Well, that’s good.”

“Yes…?”

“Satisfy me like Riegelhoff’s serpent. Well, who knows? I might be interested in that body of yours.”

…why is the original story starting to change now? <<less

His power shook the four seas, he was the ruler of the world]

Zhu Chi, who didn’t want to die, made a deal with the devil in exchange for the chance to survive in another world. The new body was young, full of vitality, and full of life.

Zhu Chi finally escaped from the smell of the hospital ward’s antiseptic wipes, and he smiled with joy.

Soon, after accepting the new identity, the smile on Zhu Chi’s face gradually disappeared.

He, wearing a royal robe and a crown, ruled over thirty-six states and was the only Emperor in the Western Continent.

He, aggressively levied exorbitant taxes, arbitrarily conquering neighboring lands, using gold to build a carriage, scorning the divine power and humiliating the church.

——He was a tyrant.　　

The devil was indeed the devil, treacherous, cunning, and sinister.

Now, Zhu Chi, who had recovered his health, had to face all of the hatred and animosity:

1, the nobility deprived of their titles

2, the cardinals who were deliberately suppressed

3, the leaders of the chamber of commerce whose wealth and property were seized

4, the……

As well as: face an assassination seven days later.

If still according to the script, he would be exiled in four months, and then hanged in front of the Mohn Tower.

Zhu Chi: Splendid.

He rolled up his sleeves leisurely and smiled: What about the tyrant? If I want to, this tyrant can also rule the earth.

[I want the Rose King’s flag to fly across the mainland, I want the glory that will be like a sun that will never set, I want wherever the golden carriage passes to receive allegiances from all the people.

Because I am——

Born to be King] <<less
