Eryk Blakely is off. For his entire life, he has been unable to experience any human emotion. Wading through life hoping for something, anything to change. Everything changes on the night of the senior party when a bullied student shows up in a demon mask and starts killing people with laser beams. Eryk awakens the ability to steal other people's powers permanently. He doesn't just take their ability; he takes a piece of their personality. At that moment, everything clicks. He may not have any emotions of his own, but he now has a way to steal them. Join Eryk in his quest to become human and create a criminal empire.
This is a story with superpowers, but Eryk is not a superhero.
What to expect:
-1st Person POV
-Neutral Evil Protagonist (There is no redemption for this man)
-Focus on monetary, political, and subordinate strength over personal power.
-A steady rise to power (No immediate jumps. step-by-step criminal organization building)
-Interesting and nuanced side characters

I am the Villain (MHA x Male Villain Reader)
Some are born to be heroes, and others are not. Fate decides the outcome from the moment you're born, determined by the quirk you inherit. A "heroic" quirk marks you as a future pro destined for greatness. But those with dangerous or unsettling quirks are branded villains from the start, condemned to a life of rejection. You were one of the unfortunate ones-cursed with a quirk deemed villainous, cast aside as an outcast. After years of torment, fear, and pain, society locked you away, your fate sealed. Until the League of Villains freed you, setting you on a new path-a mission to bring down the number one hero from within the heart of the pros. Now, the choice is yours: Will you continue down the road of villainy, or will you seize the chance to become the hero you were always told you could never be?Complete
Blink: Ethereal Fury
**Novel Description:** In a world where heroes walk a razor-thin line between justice and brutality, *Blink* follows Benji, a 17-year-old raised in an isolated Japanese temple by a powerful but powerless blind Sensei. Benji and his fellow students possess extraordinary abilities, trained to show mercy in a world that offers none. But when a betrayal from within leads to a devastating assault on their temple by deadly assassins with terrifying powers, Benji's belief in the path of restraint is shattered. As his rage and power spiral out of control, Benji discovers a dangerous side of himself he's struggling to contain-one that threatens to consume him entirely. Grappling with the death of his mentor and the betrayal of his brother-in-arms, Benji must decide if he will continue to walk the path of mercy, or embrace the darkness and violence that calls to him. In this gritty, action-packed story, the lines between hero and villain blur, and mercy may be the most dangerous weakness of all.Complete

Never in my life did I ever think I'd be reincarnated. As far as I'm aware, being able to reincarnate means being good in your previous life, and being given a chance to restart your life anew. Although I don't consider myself particularly good, I'm not bad either. I simply existed somewhere in between. Regardless, I never expected to wake up inside a fantasy novel! And not just any novel, but a "dark romance", as my sister would call it. The kind with an obsessive male lead willing to go to any lengths to protect his delicate, soft-spoken heroine. Even if it meant murder. I had read the story before, and yes, it was undeniably cliché. But now, I find myself trapped within said story, cast as the villain, destined to meet my end at the hands of the possessive, and dangerously unhinged male lead. I can't tell if this world despises me or if it's offering me a twisted kind of opportunity. But one thing is for certain: I have to survive. And I need to find a way out. "Things can't possibly get worse than this... right?" - MC. Not edited, so it may have some mistakes. If you see things that don't really make sense, please leave a comment and let me know :) Credits to the original artist of the cover.
Super•Villainous
"I've been looking for you." There was an unexpected rasp to his voice, a hint of desperation. He stretched out one hand, as if to brush it across my cheek, or perhaps wrap it around my throat. Oddly enough, I didn't know which option frightened me more. *+*+*+* Lily Burdett has an unfortunate gift for getting herself into tricky situations, but her luck is especially bleak the day she finds herself in the destructive path of the city's premier supervillain. When he grabs ahold of her, she reacts without thinking and stabs him twice in the shoulder, only surviving the encounter thanks to a nearby hero who intervenes on her behalf. Unfortunately, her villain vows to get even. Everywhere she turns, he's there, and with each bizarre encounter more doubts fill her head as to his true intentions. *enemies to lovers/slowburnComplete
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

【 ꜰᴏʀᴍᴇʀ ʏᴀɴᴅᴇʀᴇ! ꜰ. ʀᴇᴀᴅᴇʀ x ᴍ!ʏᴀɴᴅᴇʀᴇ 】 This world has never felt real to you, especially when you found yourself obsessed with a certain boy in your class. It doesn't help that you felt some kind of force whispering to you to kill him in order to prove your love. So, you did. Strangely, the world seemed to be against him dying, because you found time kept repeating itself each time he died. You kept murdering him until a sudden epiphany dawned on you, as if you had broken away from the force controlling you. You were a character in a game-a villain who would always kill the protagonist. However, as if the developers knew you were no longer controllable, they replaced you so the boy you were obsessed with would still die and time would never move forward. Hence, you took it upon yourself to protect him. But why does the protagonist seem to be acting strange?Complete
Shadowfawn - The Hypnotic Girl
In a world where everyone is born with a unique power (a power that can be completely useless, like having your eyelashes lengthened by a few millimeters, or as astonishing as mind-reading), the winners, the ones rich and famous, are usually those blessed with the best abilities. But what if there were someone who could control others? Use all their powers for their own purposes? Cherry Gale is a country girl, seemingly like many others: she goes to school, has a crush on a boy in her class, has a slightly punk friend, and when she grows up, she wants to follow in the footsteps of her mother, who is her heroine and with whom she has a very deep relationship... but she has a secret. A secret that could change and upend the world. The problem for her is that she's not the only one with one. - A New Dark World saga book -Complete
Nothing Ever Lasts (Rewrite Demo)
A new take on the first novel of the Anti-Hero story line, with updated and polished writing. Expanding and rewriting the story along with adding never before scenes and characterizations with most of the original story beats along the way. This is not the official canon novel, however I'd like to think of it as an alternative universe. You might recognize some things, and see new ones as well. This is also a test for the audience to see how my writing has improved over the years. See which one does best. This is a demo, and will only be up to eight chapters before the main plot of the story unfolds. So if this gets enough traction and if people like this version more, then I'll continue writing it and make this one the canon version instead. (This would also make it a rewrite for Secrets of Demise)Complete
