Summary:
In the chaos of a stormy night, a man races home through the rain, only to be struck by a bolt of lightning-and vanishes without a trace. At the same time, in another part of the world, a high school girl, crushed by the weight of her pain and isolation, takes her own life in an empty classroom.
But death isn't the end for either of them.
They awaken in a strange, unforgiving world caught between light and shadow-a realm where emotions shape reality, and the past haunts the present. Bound by fate, their paths intertwine as they search for meaning, redemption, and a way forward in a world that reflects the struggles they tried to escape.
In this world, will they find peace, purpose-or will their inner demons consume them once again?

Beyond The Summon
Freya thought it was just a game. She was wrong. The life she knew ended in a car crash-only for her to awaken inside the world she once played: a realm where monsters devour cities, magic tears the skies, and reality itself obeys the will of unseen Masters. Thrown into the lobby of a rookie Master, Freya starts at the bottom-weak, outnumbered, and scorned by the heroes she's forced to fight beside. But her spirit refuses to break. To survive, she must climb the Tower of Babel, endure endless hordes of monsters, and challenge rival lobbies ruled by powerful Masters-all while learning to control powers she barely understands. Every battle wounds her. Every defeat reshapes her. Every synthesis and struggle forges her into something more than human. Yet beyond every victory looms the shadow of the one who pulled her into this world-an entity whose motives remain unknown. To face it, Freya must become what even gods fear. From a one-star hero in a forgotten lobby to a force that can shake worlds- Freya will endure. She will fight. She will rise. This isn't a game anymore. This is survival, power, and defiance. This is Ancient Tale.

Reincarnated as the Fated Villain
COMPLETED | VOLUME ONE | It began as the usual flow for a reincarnated story... Aerra believed, as a young girl, that her second life was nothing more than just about legends and prophecies like any other; meeting handsome guys; and spending heart fluttering days of youth idly.

The darkness that lurks within her... the beckoning shadows... forged alliances and deceptions... and an ability that she never thought could touch the span of time. Join her in her quest TO DISCOVER the truth on what lies beyond the centennial rituals in summoning a Priestess; choosing a Familiar; and her inescapable destiny as the fated Fallen one.

'Pointless' That is how the protagonist saw everything. It all started with an accident, but it is pointless to explain it here. His life ends, then it starts again, except it starts in a otome game his sister had bought. And he reincarnates as his sister's favourite character. Unfortunately, he's a side character who is scripted to have an abrupt ending. Determined to live his life he gains a sense of purpose, a feeling he hasn't had in a long time. He's not just any side character, he's the protagonist of this story! Come and watch as he lives his life and perhaps regain some of his lost emotions. ---------- As per usual, I don't own any of the pictures that are used. Note: This is NOT a BL story if you haven't seen the tags.Complete
