Love: The Hazardous Emotion

[ THE VILLAIN'S LEDGER — ACTIVATED ] Host: Cedric Valdrake Arkhen Role: Primary Antagonist Death Flags: 47 Survival Probability: 2.3% Recommendation: Accept your death. --- He won't. Kael died at 22 and woke up as the game's ultimate villain — the arrogant young master who dies in EVERY route. His Aether Core is shattered. His own father might kill him. And the world has a Script that will bend reality to make sure the villain stays dead. But Kael has 4,000 hours of game knowledge, a forbidden bloodline that erases anything it touches, and a sentient sword with a worse attitude than he has. He'll wear the mask. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable. The heroes will fear him. The world will hate him. And the five most beautiful women in the empire — the ones written to despise him — will start to see through the cracks. The saintess who heals his scars. The swordswoman who can't stop fighting him. The gentle girl whose flowers grow toward him. The assassin who was sent to kill him — and stayed. The villainess. His mirror. Two monsters learning to be human. Every heroine he steals weakens the heroes who were meant to save the world. Every death flag he breaks pushes reality closer to collapse. And something beyond the game is watching. The villain was supposed to die in Chapter 30. He has other plans.

Prequel to My Soul card is a Reaper **** 100,000 years before the events of MSCR, before the hidden clans even existed, three incredible children were born to Duke Aurelius Garcia, a noble who served in King Arthur's Camelot. These three siblings were triplets, but their lives couldn't have been more different. Azrael Orkney Garcia, the youngest triplet, and his sister Eon have always been outsiders in their own home. While their eldest brother Raphael got all their father's love and attention, Azrael and Eon were pushed aside. All they wanted was simple: either get their father and all relatives to love them like they loved Raphael or find a way to leave their father's control behind. But life had bigger plans for these two inseparable siblings. Strange events begin to unfold, pulling Azrael and Eon into dangers they never asked for. This story shows how two siblings went from wanting freedom and peace to challenging the very gods who ruled their universe, setting up events that would echo through thousands of years to come.

He called her plain to her face. She needed the money too badly to walk out. Ruby Brown has spent a year as Ethan moore's assistant. Invisible. Underpaid. Running his errands, absorbing his cruelty, surviving on office coffee and stolen muffins to pay for her sick aunt's care. He has never once said thank you. So when he sits her down, closes his door, and says he needs her, she braces for the worst. What he offers is somehow stranger. "I need a fiancée. You fit the profile. Move in, play the role, sign the contract. I'll pay you Ten thousand dollar monthly Until the contract expires, you get Twenty Thousand upfront." A fake engagement. His penthouse. His rules. Two people who can't stand each other, living under one roof, pretending to be in love. What could go wrong? Everything. Because Ethan didn't plan for the quiet moments between the performances. The mornings she hums in his kitchen. The night she calls him out on his cruelty and he doesn't fire back. The way Mateo Brooks looks at them both and says "She's good for you" and Ethan doesn't laugh. He signed a contract to use her. She signed one to survive. Neither of them signed up for this. Enemies don't fall in love. But apparently, nobody told them that.

In an age of blood, steel, and freezing spray, a Viking’s worth is measured by the swing of his axe. They are raiders. They are conquerors. They are the terror of the North. Ragnar, the eighteen-year-old bastard son of a starving chieftain, is none of these things. Just a month ago, he was a Senior Naval Architect in Seattle, designing high-efficiency cargo vessels. Now, he stands on a frozen fjord in 865 AD, facing a suicide mission to England that threatens to wipe out his village. Mocked for his refusal to raid and his obsession with "wizard words" like logistics and drag coefficients, Ragnar is dismissed as a coward. But they are all wrong. Where they see a longship, he sees a displacement curve waiting to be optimized. Where they see a storm, he sees wind energy waiting to be harnessed. They say his methods are madness. Soon, they will realize that while they are playing at war, he is engineering an empire. -------- Disclaimer: *Kingdom Building & Tech-Uplift: MC uses modern engineering to revolutionize the Viking Age. *Weak-to-Strong: Starts as a despised bastard, progresses to a wealthy tycoon/warlord. *High Detail: Detailed descriptions of ship-building and primitive industrialization.

By a twist of fate, Narumi Tōru obtains a Romance Simulation System. As long as he earnestly plays various roles within the simulations and successfully clears NPC routes, he can earn rewards and overturn his life as a nobody. But the premise of the game is simple and cruel: he is guaranteed to meet death at the ending.
