How many lives must be ruined to create a "hero"?
Empress Calypso Berenice lived and died as an unwritten footnote, the forgotten wife of the male lead, executed by a villain to further a plot she didn't even know she was in. But when a near-death experience in a frozen lake shatters her reality, she awakens with the memories of Park Hanbyeol, a modern-day music producer who once read Calypso's life as a tragic novel and hated every word of it.
The world has reset, and the main characters have returned with their memories intact, ready to resume their bloody path to glory. But there's a glitch in the narrative: the "extra" has come back, too.
Calypso was never meant to be part of the story, let alone remember it. Now, armed with the knowledge of a future that discarded her, she must navigate a court of vengeful protagonists and power-hungry leads. If the story demands her ruin to make the heroes shine, Calypso is ready to tear out the pages and write a masterpiece of her own.

The Inured Villainess
Inure: (v.) To accustom to accept something undesirable, evil, or painful. An other worldly girl is reincarnated as Queen Estella de Royalis, the villainess of a novel that is killed by her own husband. Having no other choice, she strives to save herself from that fate. However, the novel she read is not the reality she believed. ______ I tried on another, a red one this time. I twirl in its large skirt. "This one matches your eyes," I say as I spin. "This one too." I stop, putting my hands on my hips. "Are you going to order all of them?" "If I want to, yes, I will." He doesn't budge. I sigh, sitting next to him. "You know that you don't have to do this. I can go buy my own dresses." "I know, but I want to see you wear dresses that I chose. Besides, is it so wrong to want to spend time with you?" ______ Note: This is entirely my work. I want to see if I'm able to write something without a plot set up for me. I hope you like it!Complete
You Only Live Twice (Discontinued-ish)
Olivia was your average 18 year old girl. Keyword, 𝙬𝙖𝙨, until she drowned in a lake and woke up in a crappy novel her friend recommended to her. The character she'd been convinced to read it for ended up being a small-time, side villain that disappeared half-way through the story, Olivia Auclair, the duke's sickly eldest daughter with the same first name as her. And just as her luck would have it, she now is living as that Olivia. Truthfully, she barely knew what she was getting into or why she was sent here after death in the first place. The only recollection she had of the story was the spoiled, self-centered heroine, Angelica, with a generic backstory and extremely overpowered abilities, the main characters who surround her, and of course, her hatred for the fictional book. Her saving grace to stay alive and well? Well of course it is to befriend the two most prominent characters within her reach, the antagonist and the male lead. Both of which eventually would be roped into the heroine's harem, but if all went right then hopefully by then she wouldn't have anything to worry about. Unfortunately, her plan backfired some where along the way, and now she is faced with the heroine's silent wrath and jealousy, her pawns overprotectiveness, an adopted noble's persistence, family drama, and the ever enclosing end of the story. What's a girl to do in her second life except lie down and accept her impending doom? -> Currently being rewritten!!! <-

The First Emperor Returns
Can a legend ever be rooted in truth? In most cases, I have my doubts. Particularly the one about the hero who united the peoples of the primordial era, defeated the original evil, and ruled as Emperor over all of Ameritia, the entire known world. They say his gaze alone could bring any enemy to their knees, and that his voice, even in a whisper, could bend the will of kings. Some even go so far as to claim that, among his romantic conquests, was none other than the goddess of life herself. A bit much, don't you think? I certainly do. Especially when all signs seem to point toward that legendary figure being... me. --------------------------------------------------------- Check out @fallenpages890 on YouTube for images and Suno songs inspired by the novel! --------------------------------------------------------- You can find the English and Japanese playlists directly on Suno (higher quality).

I Became the Female Lead? No, thanks!
[Completed] Eleanor Blake was just an ordinary college student with an extraordinary obsession: dark romance novels, especially the twisted R18+ mafia tale Kingdom of Ash and Sin. But after a freak accident, she finds herself thrust into the blood-soaked pages of her favourite book, waking up not as a spectator... but as Elaine De Silva, the villainess doomed to die in 2 weeks! Armed with nothing but her fangirl knowledge and stubborn determination, Eleanor is set on one goal: survive. Rewrite the story. Live. Easy, right? Wrong. Because her new fiancé, the dangerously magnetic mafia don Luca Moretti, isn't playing by the book. He's darker, deadlier, and far more obsessed with her than the original plot ever hinted at. "Elaine, you're mine. I'll kill anyone who tries to take you from me." Wait... what? You were supposed to kill me, not fall in love! When did the story change? Now, caught in a world of betrayal, bullets, and brooding men in suits, Eleanor must outsmart the plot she thought she knew. Because if she wants to survive this story... She'll have to rewrite the ending herself. __________________________________ Book #1 of the I Became... Series.

I WANT TO BE THE VILLAINESS!!
✨ If death is the only escape... then I'll choose the most dramatic way to die✨ Lia Everhart never expected to open her eyes in the world of her favorite novel. But after falling into a coma in the real world, she realizes one thing: If she doesn't die in this world, she can't return to her body. So, instead of living peacefully as a forgettable side character, Lia boldly chooses the most entertaining death route she can think of- becoming the villainess. " I could've died in many ways.. Maybe stabbing myself, cutting my nerves or even drinking poison! Well since I had to die, in one way or the other, then why don't I try it in an interesting way ! What if I become the villainess?? She plots dramatic schemes, steals the spotlight, and even rescues the original villainess just for fun. Everything is going smoothly... until the story twists out of control. The heroine dies instead of her. The villain survives. Lia does NOT. Expecting to finally wake up- She doesn't. Instead, she opens her eyes in a second reincarnation, this time as Luna Estene, the pampered daughter of a powerful duke. And waiting for her is a smug, glitchy system announcing: "New life. New rules. Complete all five missions to return. Mission One: Seduce the villain." The villain-Caylum Morvane-is cold, sharp-tongued, and completely immune to her charms. Worse, the original heroine is still alive in this world... and destined to fall for him. Now Luna must flirt, manipulate, and survive every death flag while the system cackles in her ear. She only wants to die gracefully and go home, but fate seems obsessed with keeping her alive. Because this time, the villain might fall first. And Luna might live long enough to regret it.Complete
The Villain Should Be Wary
Prince Caydeyrn Di Vel Delphine. Commander of the royal battalion. A legend dressed in iron and silk. He's noble, honorable, devastatingly handsome-every inch the kind of man a kingdom worships, and a woman trusts with her life. Josephine Caldwell. A healer from the quiet provinces. Sweet as spring rain. Gentle as moonlight. Her magic draws pain into her own body so others can breathe again. She gives everything-her strength, her sleep, her peace-and asks for nothing in return. To Prince Caydeyrn, she was a miracle. She never wanted a crown. Never wanted love. But Caydeyrn offers both like they're hers by right. It's meant to be a pure love story. Wholesome. Romantic. It's supposed to make me swoon. But I don't. Because I don't want the prince. I want the other one. Duke Evander De LaCroix. The king's nephew. Vanished at eight. Returned a man-silent, changed. Not only broken. Twisted. Cold. Predatory. Wrong. The story details there is something unclean in the way he looks at people. Like he's already imagining what their screams might sound like. And when he sees Josephine? He fixates. He hunts her. Watches her like she's prey-like he's already decided to break her. She hides behind Caydeyrn's protection, clutching her innocence like armor. And every time Evander steps onto the page, I can't breathe. Not because I'm scared - but because I wish he looked at me like that. The book says he's wrong. That he's twisted. Dangerous. That Josephine's fear is justified. That Caydeyrn is the right choice. But I don't want safety. I want to be ruined by the villain. It's not their slow-burn romance anymore. It's my obsession. And the worst part? I know he would hate me. He wouldn't love me. He'd see the dark little thing I am and realize that I am not the innocent maiden he obsesses over. I'm lucky if he would ruin me for the fun of it. And God help me, I'd let him. Gladly.

Villainess x Yuri
After an untimely death, I woke up in the world of my favorite otome game...only to realize I'd been reborn as the villainess, the character destined for ruin. Great. At first, I thought I was the heroine, who wouldn't want to be the star of their own story? But reality hit hard when I discovered my true role: the scheming noblewoman meant to be defeated. Determined to avoid my doom, I resolved to change my fate... until I noticed something weird. The male lead? Ignored. The heroine? Smitten. The female rivals? Obsessed. Now, instead of fighting for survival, I'm drowning in attention from women who should hate me. And the worst part? I'M STRAIGHT. "I'M STRAIGHT! WHAT THE FU-" I screamed at the so-called "god" floating above me, lazily flipping through a manga. She smirked, golden eyes glinting as she sipped her lemon tea. "Darling, you might be straight as a road... but even roads have curves~" I gritted my teeth, my face burning. "For the first time in my life, I hate you, God!" "Oh, come on," she purred, the room suddenly turning icy. "Where's the fun in a boring reverse harem? This way, it's a surprise." ...I should've read the fine print before reincarnating.Complete
The Duke Fell for the Villainess
She was just a tired grade school teacher in the modern world- unappreciated, overworked, and denied her promotion year after year. Her only escape was her favorite otome game... until a tragic accident with a banana peel ended her life. When she opened her eyes again, she wasn't in her small apartment anymore. She was in a luxurious mansion. In a child's body. The villainess of her favorite game. Born as the real daughter of a Marquis, she knew how her story was supposed to end: starvation, betrayal, poison, and death. Her stepmother and stepsister would steal everything from her, and her own father would let her die without a tear. But this time, she refuses to play the role of a doomed villainess. Armed with memories from her past life, loyal brothers at her side, and a sharp tongue sharpened by years of teaching, she'll rewrite fate itself. Yet the world of nobility is more dangerous than she imagined- scheming crown princes, false heroines, poisonous stepmothers, and a cold northern Duke whispered to be a beast. But what if the "beast" turns out to be the one man who sees her for who she truly is?Complete
The Cursed Witch
Reincarnating, dying, repeat. My life revolves around those three. This has been going on for so long that my memory of my first life already became hazy. And right now, I was reincarnated in a novel I read from my previous life. A novel where the second male lead was being taken advantage of by the heroine but was just discarded in the end.

The Obsessive Villainess Vol. 1 ✔
"Don't touch that man." "Why not?" "He has a beast guarding him." I am that beast; Nora. I woke up as the villain of this book, destined to die after going crazy due to my love for the main lead. "I spent my last life wanting to die, and now that I've decided to survive, this world is after me?" No. I won't die such a pathetic death. I will survive this time. No matter what. But first, I need to survive these main leads. One won't leave me alone; the other keeps fighting with me; another is destined to kill me... Even my superpowers are so weak! Surviving in a world that hates me... Is kinda difficult. *** I got tired of reading about 'special' and 'pure-hearted' heroines so I decided to write about a character I could relate to. Writing gets better after first few chapters. [#1 Angst] [#1 Obsession] [#2 Yandere] [#1 Villain] [#1 Antagonist] [#1 Superpowers]Complete
