My Devourer System: Rise of a Villain

[R18 WARNING: This novel contains mature content including explicit sexual situations, non-consensual acts, graphic violence, torture, psychological trauma, and dark themes. Reader discretion is strongly advised.] "They took everything from me. My family. My freedom. My humanity. They broke my body, tortured my soul, and threw me away like garbage. But they made one mistake. They didn't finish the job." When the Apocalypse transformed Earth fifty years ago, mana flooded the world, monsters rose from the depths, and humanity discovered superpowers. But for sixteen-year-old Kaelyn Hayes, powers never came. Born from a bloodline carrying the legendary Ageless Physique—a gift from their ancient Dhampir ancestor—Kael watched his parents murdered before his eyes. His siblings dead. Himself, captured by the Whitmore family—one of the powerful houses that orchestrated his parents' deaths—Kael became nothing more than a lab rat, a plaything, a slave. For five years, Morgan Whitmore—the sadistic heiress obsessed with immortality—tortured him. Beatings. Starvation. Humiliation. Experiments that pushed his body to the breaking point. She made him crawl, made him beg, made him serve every twisted desire her mind could conceive. And through it all, Kael endured, surviving on nothing but hate. Then came the pain tolerance experiments. The chair. The machine that dialed agony to one hundred percent. They killed him. But death was not the end. Deep within Kael's broken body, a dormant bloodline stirred—the ancient Ouroboros lineage, a fragment of something far darker than the Ageless Physique. And with it came a System unlike any other: THE DEVOURER. Now Kael rises from the trash heap where they threw his corpse, awakened at last with powers that should not exist. Powers that let him consume others—their abilities, their bloodlines, their very essence. With a 30% chance to steal any superpower he devours, Kael will hunt those who wronged him. The Whitmore family. The Hart family that destroyed his parents. Every scientist who experimented on him. Every person who watched and did nothing. But revenge is only the beginning. In a world where S-rankers rule like gods, where inheritance grounds hide ancient secrets, where humanity has spread across the solar system and made Earth one of the most powerful planets in two galaxies—Kael Hayes will rise not as a hero, but as something far more terrifying. A monster forged by monsters. A villain who will devour them all. In a world of S-rank heroes, SSS-rank myths, and cosmic powers beyond imagination—the greatest threat to humanity isn't the monsters in the dungeons. It's the broken boy they threw away.

I Became A Side Character Fated To Suffer

“ARGHHHH! "This wasn’t in the script, god damn it!” she roared, clutching her hair hard enough it looked like she might tear it out. “Script?” the man echoed, confused. “What script?” “The script of the novel I read before dying." “….” A row of invisible question marks practically floated over the man’s face as he stared at the woman’s ragged, half-manic figure. “Wait,” he said slowly, realization dawning. “You mean this… this is part of a novel?” “Exactly.” He swallowed and pointed hesitantly.“Then that guy who is lying over there with a sword in his ass." "Is he also one of you...A reader?” The woman turned her head. Not far away, a man lay upside down, body twitching and twerking shadily, the sword lodged at an angle no sane anatomy should allow. “Oh, him?” she said casually. “He is the developer of the game." “…Developer?Didn't you say that is a novel world?” Before he could process that, another shrill scream ripped through the air. Both of them turned sharply. A man was pinned to the ground several meters away, a spear driven clean through his right eye and buried deep into the earth beneath him. His body twitched once as tried grab the spear. "Comrade,can you help The man beside her sighed.“Let me guess...he is a player ?” “Nah,” she replied. “Hacker.” “Hacker…” He ran a hand down his face. “Damn it. How many more people are there with golden fingers?” “I remember a regressor,” she muttered. “As for the other one… I don’t remember.” Her gaze shifted. The purple-haired man stood a short distance away, completely unharmed and clothes unscathed. His expression was quite relaxed as if this entire scene had nothing to do with him. “Leave that aside,” she said, eyes narrowing. “Let’s talk about you.” The man beside her nodded vigorously. “Yeah. How the hell can you toy with them so easily while we’re beaten to shit?” He stared at the purple-haired man. “What’s your golden finger?” The purple-haired man froze. Then— He burst out laughing. “Golden finger?” He wiped a tear from the corner of his eye. “Pfftt…” He laughed harder, shoulders shaking. “Golden finger, you say?” He shook his head. “Sorry to disappoint you.” He looked at them, grin widening. “Unlike you all, what I received wasn’t any golden finger.” He paused a bit and then mumbled. “Rathed It was a big, shiny golden middle finger that meant to make me suffer in the script but it's okay." "I broke it off and drilled into the person responsible for all this."

Veiled Cultivator

In a cultivation world ruled by doctrine, bloodlines, and silent wars, eighteen-year-old Bai Jingyu walks unseen. Publicly, she is a blind male disciple of the Tang Clan—calm, restrained, and unremarkable. In truth, she is something far more dangerous: a former child assassin reborn under a new name, hiding scars beneath red robes and a blindfold that conceals eyes capable of seeing through illusion itself. Ordered by her master, Bai Yi, Jingyu is given a simple mission—to escort and observe Su Xiaoyue, a rising sword prodigy of the righteous Jiang Clan. It is meant to be surveillance. It becomes something else. Su Xiaoyue is everything Jingyu is not: disciplined where she is instinctive, openly righteous where she is quietly pragmatic, raised within the light rather than forged in shadow. Known as the Jiang Clan’s model disciple, Xiaoyue’s sword is precise, controlled, and merciless only when necessary. Her heart, long sealed by grief and expectation, has never known the freedom to choose. As they travel together across sect territories, ruined battlefields, and hidden realms, what begins as a guarded assignment unfolds into a slow and fragile bond. Jingyu, who has only ever protected from the shadows, finds herself drawn to Xiaoyue’s quiet strength. Xiaoyue, who has lived by inherited doctrine, begins to question the rigid lines between righteousness and sin. Neither realizes how deeply their paths are entangled. Obstacles rise at every turn—sect politics, old enemies, buried assassins from Jingyu’s past, and the lingering prejudice between Beast and Human kind. Jingyu’s carefully maintained disguise threatens exposure, while Xiaoyue’s loyalty to her clan is tested by the very person she is growing unable to leave. And beneath it all, something ancient stirs. Jingyu carries a jade heirloom of intertwined dragons and a bloodline she keeps tightly sealed. She does not yet reveal the truth of what she is—not to the world, not even to Xiaoyue. Her dragon heritage, her anomalous grey eyes, and the forces that once hunted her remain veiled, waiting for a time when concealment will no longer be enough. This is not a story of immediate destiny or world-shattering war. It is the story of two young women learning to choose— between doctrine and desire, between inherited hatred and personal truth, between solitude and bond. In a world where Heaven demands detachment to ascend, their growing connection may become the greatest defiance of all. Veiled Cultivator is a slow-burn cultivation romance woven with political intrigue, hidden identities, and quiet emotional tension—where love is not weakness, restraint is strength, and the most dangerous thing in the world is not power… but choosing to stay. Note: Bai Jingyu's courtesy name is Bai Zhenyu. Su Xiaoyue's courtesy name is Su Wenxin. ————— Women Love Women (WLW). Slow-burn romance. No Harem. Explicit chapters wont appear until much later. Sexual chapters will be marked with (R) in title as a warning. ————— Author Note: This is my first time writing, please bare with me if I make any mistakes or forget any details. Thank you!

Transmigrating Into The Heartthrob’s Cannon Fodder Childhood Friend

DISCLAIMER: NOT MY WORK JUST SHARING THIS HERE CUZ SHARING IS CARING:P The protagonist shou, Xie Sui, was a proud son of heaven. He had an illustrious family background, was cold and removed from desire, and attracted many (psychopathic) admirers. From the gentle senior to the paranoid president, to the haughty and proud arch-enemy, these big guys were all top leaders of their respective fields, yet they were all crazy about him. After pushing him down a series of mentally and physically abusive paths, the three of them decided to join hands to destroy the Xie Family, imprison Xie Sui, crush his pride, and turn him into a pet that could only rely on them. While the crowd of readers howled “Wuwuwu the feels~”. Song Yu was already so angry he was going crazy. Not wanting to read any more of this eye-searingly bad novel, he cursed, “Idiots.” and hurried offline. As a result, when he woke up, he’d transmigrated. He’d transmigrated to become the Third Young Master of the Song Family in the novel, who had only been briefly mentioned in passing, would die of a terminal illness, and was Xie Sui’s childhood friend. Song Yu was terribly upset. At the same time, he’d already come to a decision in his heart––those three idiots, had better not think about wanting to get close to his little childhood friend! Xie Sui was born cold-hearted. In two lifetimes, he’d never tasted the sweetness of love, nor had he ever experienced the feeling of being protected. After destroying three big families and personally killing his enemies, he was reborn back to when he was 15 years old. He had to hide the violence and coldness in his heart and pretend to be the youth with a gentle and clean appearance that he’d been in the past. Everything was the same as before, except that the little childhood friend who was nothing but a vague memory in his previous life was exceptionally different this time. Like the spring breeze that thawed the frozen soil, someone reached into the abyss and grabbed his blood-stained hand. Song Yu tore apart a love confession letter like he was venting and fumed, “Don’t pay attention to those people, don’t believe in their sweet words. They’re all scum, and their love is worthless. Don’t like them, okay?” Xie Sui gazed at him for a long time, then laughed, “Alright, I don’t like them.” I only like you. — Pairing: Rebirthed Gong x Transmigrator Shou
