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

Since the dawn of time, humanity has been divided over various subjects. All of which are frankly, incredibly trivial. This being, but is not limited to race, religion, beauty, size, wealth, politics, and more. The heavy amounts of bickering and debating over these subjects, going as far as starting wars and in-fighting within families, even breaking some apart. This is further proven by the sudden appearance of enhanced individuals nicknamed "Blights," which single-handedly explains the general consensus about them. Hated and oppressed, Blights have had their backs against the wall for decades. Teenager Liam Wang must learn how to juggle both his civilian life and the life of his super-powered, crime-fighting persona "Narukami" and all that comes with it. Oh, and also a super-powered serial killer running around the city, murdering whoever they see fit. Yeah, he's probably screwed.Complete
Please spare me, Villain!
Imagine, just for a second, let's imagine you end up somehow travelling into your favourite book. Then you started working your magic and you cosy up to the male lead who was supposed to get you killed or you make the demon lord fall in love with you so he can protect you from your imminent death. And woah you got your happy ending. But now let's imagine a completely different scenario where you end up in a book you read like 10 pages of (including the ending). And you find yourself literally dropped into the lap of a psychopathic rival who enjoys just a teeny bit of bloodshed. He's also the guy who killed your favourite character and not to mention you. But then you hold on for a second because you realise you're not dead and he wants to use you as an immortal tool to sharpen his aim. Well that's the story I ended up living in. And I've got one request from Mr. Villain over there, please spare me!Complete
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.

~ ᴜɴᴡʀɪᴛᴛᴇɴ ᴘʀᴏᴛᴀɢᴏɴɪꜱᴛ ~
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.

Trapped In A 18+ Reverse Harem Game
[ONGOING] I was just an ordinary girl, a broke college student hustling at a convenience store to pay for my nursing degree. One night, after clocking out from my glamorous life of stocking instant noodles, I got hit by a truck. My first thought? Finally. I could fulfill my dream of becoming the ultimate, iconic villainess. And wouldn't you know it, dreams do come true. I woke up as Rosalia Salvatore. The Mafia Princess. The Evil Bitch. The Crazy Villainess. From the reverse harem game "Trapped By My Captors", yes, that 18+ NSFW disaster with the kinkiest good ending and the bloodiest bad ending imaginable. Bloody hell, I didn't get isekai'd into a fluffy noble high school romance. No. I got yeeted into a dark mafia thirst-trap simulator. But guess what? I'm not your easy, doe-eyed heroine. If any of these "love interests" think they can kill me, I'll bite their heads off. Literally. Buckle up, boys. My wrath comes in heels, and it kicks hard. _______________________________________________________ Original Story A Transmigration Dark Romantic Comedy Vote for more chapters!!!

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
