In this world that is similar to our own, the Empire of Exodus houses one of the strongest guilds in the current world, Exol. It's job is to close rifts that could allow monsters to run rampant.

People who can close these gates are called the 'Reincarnated'

The Villain of the story would be Deus Manachi

He is the number one of the Exol guild, and one of the leaders that closed the the first main gates during the time of crisis.

Although seemingly a hero, he was cold, cruel, and merciless. Killing anything and anyone that stood in his way. 

He was cynical and practical.

Everything he did was in the name of protecting everyone and if some people had to be sacrificed for the greater good, it would be their honor to serve the empire and protect their families with their lives.

However, for a villain to exist, there needs to be a hero. He would be Hiiro Seraphim.

Coming out of seemingly nowhere, he rose in fame and prestige. He cleared rifts solo and didn't sacrifice anyone, and protected anyone that needed to be protected.

As two opposites would attract, they would always end up in oppositions with one another.

As their last fight happened, with destruction around them, the villain drew his last breath as his heart was pierced by the hero's sword.

However, as he wandered through time with a spiritual body, unable to ascend, he slowly saw how the hero helped the people and accomplished what he had thrown his life and morality away for.

Realizing how much pain he had caused he let go of his remaining attachments to the world, letting the hero have his happy ending.

However, fate seems to have its own plans for him.

He woke up to a familiar ceiling. Looking at himself, years younger. 

"It seems I've turned back to the past..."

Rather than cause pain for the people I wanted to protect, this time I'll support the hero from the shadows.

However... the hero seems to be acting strange?

It seems like the villain will have to protect the hero for now.

Reincarnated as the Villain's Butler by Instant_MilkTea
16 parts Ongoing
He was reincarnated into a stereotypical shoujo manga with magic and fantastical creatures- not as any of the main cast, but the villain's butler, a kindhearted but loyal to a fault beastkin who fought to his death to let his abusive master escape- a mere narrative tool to make the villain seem even crueler. Unlike the original, however, he was not kind, nor was he loyal. He is not above killing, stealing, and lying- and he did not care if he was despised. To avoid a meaningless, pitiful death, he would even scheme his way to escape fate. Upon meeting the young villain, however, there was a change of plans. In this second life of his, he'll bet everything on the villain, and fulfill what the original couldn't- he will help the villain find the happiness that was so cruelly taken from him- no matter what it takes. (Now crossposted on Ao3 under the same name)

Have you ever wondered if you were meant to be something greater than what you ended up becoming but, life had other plans for you? Could it be something as simple as fate forcing us down whatever predetermined path was set upon our birth? No one can really say for sure what drives our lives in the direction they end up going. Sometimes we wake ourselves up to realize this isn't who I wanted to be and drown ourselves in delusions, convinced its unchangeable, or they are not willing to put the effort in to try to change their life because it may be to hard or painful. Others don't care content with the life they have and just float through life trying to not get caught up in everything. There are also those that blame fate or a higher existence then them for their problems and mistakes never truly taking accountability. This is the stories of several young adults, who by some interesting and what could be seen as cruel or traumatic events come together to fight fate and grow into the people they wish to become. Each has a past that was unfair, cruel, demeaning, or tragic. The defining trait they all share though, they may not realize it themselves is despite it all, they haven't given in. They found through meeting eachother the strength to fight on despite being subjected to some of the worst things that can happen to people. When a young man from our world dies doing something his ideal self would have done, he reflects on his life moments before leaving this world. Finding it Ironic that dying was the catalyst to him realizing he had lived his life all wrong. Surprisingly though he found himself in a place that was unrecognizable. He could never have imagined that this was only the start of what he now sees as a second chance. A chance to keep a promise he made to someone dear, and a new promise to himself that he would become what that person needed most back then, A Hero.

With a primal instinct to not want to die, I tried everything I could to escape the death flag. "Um... Hi? Have you eaten?" I even let him out of the basement where he was locked up. "This is Jeffrey, he's going to be staying with us from now on." I even turned the original protagonist into his childhood friend. "I never thought of you as my master." But my student won't let go of my death flag. Aish, this isn't working. Let's run away. *** After a series of twists and turns, my escape seemed to be successful, though my body was weakened and my magic was drained. I thought I could start a new life in the countryside working with the second job I found... "I've been waiting. Dante."

How To Survive As A Villain by Kuroitsuki7
28 parts Ongoing
Ren Jiang, an introverted architect, got reincarnated as a psychotic villain of the novel he read before dying. He carefully avoided any troublesome interactions with the main leads. He even changed his school but somehow ended up catching the eye of the male supporting character. A person who appeared at the end of the novel, just to torture the original owner. Even when the original owner begged for death, he was cured to be tortured again. He was caged in the embrace of the person he was most afraid of. Ren's already tense nerves caused him to stutter, "I'll l-leave right now. I-I..didn't m-mean to come here..." A voice that could bring even the dead back to life whispered with utmost gentleness in Ren's ear, "My sweet, you didn't actually think that I would let you go, right?" His stuttering words stopped when he felt the embodiment of King Yama behind him, sniffing his neck. "You smell just as tempting as that day. I almost couldn't hold back, you know, that day, when you sit on my lap..." Ren cursed himself for the umpteenth time for his carelessness. If only he had not drunk, he would never sit on this lord's lap, and he would not have to worry about the present situation. "I let you go once, angel, not anymore..." Ren had no idea that the moment he stepped foot in this world, his destiny had been set. Someone has been waiting for him. Will Ren be able to escape fate's grasp, or will the approaching storms engulf him? .............................................................

In A Corner Of The World by Inagony
19 parts Ongoing Mature
Reincarnated person here. Not a villain or a love interest or even a remotely interesting side character. Just a cardboard cut out of faceless NPCs in the background. The only thing notable about me is that I'm reincarnated, other than that my stats are average. I'm not the hidden boss or support character either, I'm really here just to fill in the crowd. That is my mindset especially when the protagonist of the game adapted to a specific series of novels was introduced into the classroom. Everybody crowded around the hero, either to make friends with him because of his looks or status. So tell me, why has he chosen me to hang out with? ****** Disclaimer: No pictures are mine Trigger Warning: Gore, sexual assault, and more.
